Bummer this was a cool shop! I heard they're closing because the bldg owners are losing it to the bank...sucks.
Everything is 20% off starting today. It's gonna shut down by the end of Sept. but hopefully they find a new place to setup shop.

That must be why I was told they aren't taking special orders right now!
This is terrible news, the only place in oakland with evrything at one stop, including big hammers!

Horrible news!  This is the only place in the East Bay that really has a good selection of just about everything.  There's a Dick's sporting goods coming to Livermore soon but I'm not sure what they're like for fishing stuff.  We're gonna be left with nothing but Big 5 and Walmart.  Two bad choices!

This f@#$%'n sucks biggtime, allways had a great experience there, allways had what I was looking for. Sometimes i just went there to bull shit with the guys working there, they are the best.  They have told me several times upon walking through the door that I have to go back to my truck to bring my dog in,

This place is by far the best place to buy tackle in the East Bay. Hopefully I can find some time this week to stop by and stock up.

Is OPS an acronym for something?

Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
