If you like name-brand outdoor clothing but not name-brand outdoor clothing prices, Marin Outdoor…read moreTrading Company should be on your radar. With a mix of consignment clothing and manufacturer samples, MOTC is a small, local shop with an enticing mix of offerings. Even though the consignment clothing would never count as cheap, every piece appears to be in great shape with no evidence of wear. The sample pieces, still sporting manufacturer tags, also sport a huge discount off their recommended sales price. I picked up a pre-worn, stylish fleece from The North Face for $30 and felt that price was reasonable and returned home to tell my son he should check the place out for the sort of outdoor men's pants he likes. The array of offerings is not dissimilar from what one finds at REI, but on a much smaller scale. There's other outdoor stuff here too - including a proprietor with whom one can engage in for everything fishing related. Despite its size, the store features clothes for all ages and genders as well as outdoor equipment. Whether you've outgrown something or just want something new or gently worn, if you're seeking outdoor clothing and like those name brands, MOTC should be on your radar.

He also truly cares about his clients, and makes sure everyone has a great day of fishing--which is equally as rare. He expects a lot from his hard-working crew, and they bust their a**es and are efficient as they get, and treat everyone well. Hog Heaven is a great mix between a 6 pack charter and a over-crowded party boat, offering a boat that can fish any weather or conditions; and not be packed to the gills snagging your neighbors left and right. Our whole crew who fished today was equally as impressed and won't look anywhere else when it comes time to fish for salmon out of the SF area.

Recently, I walked in to see if they could help me rig up a jig for bluefin tuna out of San Diego. Not only did they have the jigs, Mike, the manager, helped me pick out a pack of 4x strength 6/0 hooks and a pack of owner 250# split rings to upgrade the jigs for the monster sized tuna. Then, on the spot, he installed the beefy hook, moved the assist hooks, and rigged it with 3' of 200# mono. Amazing service and knowledge! This rig looks like a tuna magnet and it's rigged the right way. Always super impressed with OPS!!

This is the thing, I spend a lot of money at Dick's every football season for my kid, from cleats, to mouth pieces, pads, gloves, you name it.........you would think that the customer service would be great being that it's such a big store with a big reputation, it's not, I've always got to find someone to help and then they turn out to be rude!

What's wonderful about the three of them is they love sharing their love of fishing with their customers, and will spend as much time as needed to help their customers get the equipment they need, while if asked, will explain how it's all used. Perfect for those of us who are just starting out in the hobby! Thank you all for all your help! Now, I'm ready to fish!

Bodega Tackle is hands down one of the best tackle shops on the Northern California coast…read more From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place is run by people who actually fish--not just sell gear. The staff is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting started. They don't upsell or talk down to you; they ask the right questions and point you toward what actually works for current conditions. The selection is solid and thoughtfully curated--quality rods, reels, terminal tackle, bait, and everything you need for crab, surf, jetty, or boat fishing. What really sets them apart is the local insight. Tide advice, bite reports, rig recommendations--this is the kind of information you can't get online, and they give it freely. If you're fishing anywhere near Bodega Bay, stopping here isn't optional--it's part of the trip. Support local, support people who know the water, and give yourself the best chance at a great day on the coast.
