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.

I wanted to get hooked up with the proper crabbing snare equipment and advice, as well as what to use for rockfish and other species in Bodega Bay. The staff was very helpful. The owner chuckled when he saw the pole I brought needing spooling. It was more for lake fishing. This was not my rod so I knew it was going to be difficult to do anything with. They had a sale on Competitor Spinning Combos so I snatched one up as well as the snares for all of my poles. Luckily I was told my crocodiles work well here as well. I'm heading out tomorrow. Wish me luck!

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.

The captain never helped or gave any advise. There was a helper working with the captain, he was a young man, very bossy, rude, who lacks of patience and the drive to teach, mentor, and have people around to enjoy, not only to catch fish. This guy also laid 4 o 6 extra poles and he was more interested in catching halibut on his own, rather than teaching, helping and collaborating with all the customers. At some point one of his poles was bending, because a fish on, another person tried to help and took the pool, for what the young guy told him off: you don't take that pole buddy! Fishing is not only catching, but having fun, enjoying outdoors, camaraderie, learn and sharing. I don't recommend this charter, unless the captain changes the helper.

I always end up spending more time than I mean to chatting with the guys that run this place, as they're super friendly. Customer service could not be better. Their prices are fair and transparent.

I've worked mostly with JT who helped me navigate a recent gun repair with ease. Most shops would've told me to contact the manufacturer directly. Instead, he went above and beyond. He confirmed the malfunction, contacted the manufacturer himself, shipped my gun to them, and called me when it arrived fixed. You guys are awesome.
