This place is MASSIVE but easy to navigate. I'm just getting back into fishing so I guess you could say I'm getting started again. Kyle was a big help in advising me on what to get for the kind of fishing I'll be doing. The selection is far beyond anything I could have expected. I could have spent a lot more time in there, just looking at everything. Not having been to any other tackle shops recently I have nothing to compare it to as far as prices are concerned. I'll be returning again and again! read more

I had an outstanding experience at Fisherman's Access, and I want to give a special thank-you to Jake, Adam, and the entire staff. I brought in my reel with an issue, and Jake took the time to look at it right away. He quickly diagnosed the problem with the springs, fixed it, and made sure everything was working properly. What impressed me most was the honesty, professionalism, and genuine customer service. There was no pressure to buy anything, no attempt to turn a simple issue into a major repair, and no unnecessary upselling. Jake simply took care of the problem and made sure I left with my reel working properly. That kind of service is becoming harder to find. Jake and Adam were knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely interested in taking care of the customer. I was actually referred to Fisherman's Access by another tackle shop, and I'm very glad they sent me here. They earned my trust and my future business. Thank you, Jake, Adam, and the entire Fisherman's Access team. Excellent service, honest people, and a business that truly understands how to take care of its customers. Highly recommended! read more

Stopped by for the annual sale. There is a great selection of saltwater and freshwater gear. Got to pick up some gear in preparation for fishing in 2026. Found some good deals during the sale. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Talked shop about the trips this year and offered suggestions for what else I may need for fishing in SoCal. read more

Store is so nice. Definitely one of the better tackle shops ive been too. Only problem is that it was miserably hot in there. I dont know if the AC was down but I started sweating right away and it smelled funky as soon as you walk in. The workers are very knowledgeable and very great customer service. I felt bad for the workers they looked sweaty and dehydrated. Will definitely be returning maybe ill bring a little personal fan haha read more

Knowledgeable crew who offer helpful advice and tips. Prices are reasonable especially if you shop the bargain bin. The staff is great, low to no pressure sales. They're always happy to just talk about fishing and show genuine interest in the trips you have coming up. read more

Fisherman's Access - Fishing tackle - Hunting & Fishing Supplies Near Me - Brea, California

This store has everything you possibly need for fishing. Knowledgeable staff who can make recommendations. Convenient parking. Fair pricing. Clean and well organized. I brought back a broken rod I had purchased here years ago. The man up front took about 15-20 min and fixed it for me. Charged me very little. Great service. Would absolutely return here for any fishing needs. read more

Visited their store after watching a YouTube video film there and it's a great place. They have pretty much everything covered, I picked up a new bait caster reel while I was there, and plan to go back when I'm ready for some waders. Staff was very friendly and store is very nice. read more

Honestly the best shop I've been too. Crazy JDM selection! The prices are good and reasonable as well. I was assisted by Kyle and now I've spent $400 over budget lol but it's fine because he helped me find what I was looking for online and gave me advice. I'm from Stockton and will be visiting every time I come down! Now a proud owner of Evergreen Combat stick and Megabass Levante! read more

My favorite place before a fishing trip to get last minute gear. Everyone is always so nice and helpful.

Haven't been here since they moved. New store is bigger and has a even better selection. Bought a new rod and reel today and brought a few of my other reels for new line. They helped me out and had me on my way in 10-15 minutes. The price I found online was slightly cheaper but, what they don't have is helpful employees who can answer all your questions, put the line on for you. As a business owner I feel it's very important to shop local and keep small businesses, in business or we won't have local shops to go to anymore. Thanks for the help. read more

Fisherman's Access - Still coming here. The new store is bigger and has an even better selection. Thanks for the Mak 20. - Hunting & Fishing Supplies Near Me - Brea, California

Helpful, let us stay late tring out different reels to get what I liked. Good selection of jigs.

I love this place! Staff very friendly and knowledgeable in all types of fishing. They had everything i needed to fish saltwater and freshwater fish. read more

Great store. Inventory is a bit expensive but it's worth it because advice and tips come with the service. One comment though, and it's not a big deal... kind of curious about their military discount program. An employee told me that it's only for active duty service members and not for Veterans. First and only business that I've heard of that does that. If anyone from the store is reading this, can you explain why it's like that? read more

I love the selection!!! If they don't have the plastic you are looking for they don't make it. Staff super friendly and helpful and don't miss the bargain table! read more

The first time I entered this store since they moved into the new building ,I was awestruck.Everything you need and more. Helpful friendly staff. A bit out of my way but worth the trip. read more

Good people with knowledge. My husband is a regular so naturally I tag along sometimes. And we know the employees' names. It's like they're friends, lol. read more

This place is real nice for the fishing afficionado. A very big store that has everything a fisherman could want from live bait to kayaks. Obviously they carry poles and lures too. read more

Excellent knowledgeable staff. Fully stocked with all of the latest gear and hot items. Even have a good selection of imported gear for fresh and saltwater. Jack and Jake are great. Prices are very competitive. Highly recommended. read more

I hadn't been to this store in a while. That being said I was welcomed by a HUGE selection of both fresh and saltwater rods, lures, clothing and accessories. They have a beautiful store and all is very well organized. There is a young kid there with glasses who wasn't very helpful at all during my purchase. I spent around $500+ on a new rod and reel set up and he was so reluctant to help. He was pretty much talking down to me the entire time making it seem he was better than me for being more knowledgeable. Seemed like he hated the fact we had so many questions. For that reason I wouldn't come back and purchase anything while he is there. But the store itself seems fine and fairly priced. read more

If you're looking for special gear and good quality,I highly recommend Fisherman's Access . I'm soo Happy I found this place Jack the owner was so nice, and the people that work for his business came to me and ask if I need anything :)) so polite Thank you :)) See you soon read more

Very knowledgable , helpful, and friendly staff. Had a great experience getting their advice on optimizing my trout setup and fixing my reel so came back to get started on some saltwater fishing (of which I know nothing about) and they were extremely helpful and patient. I come from LA to go here and it's 100% with the drive. Really well run shop. read more

Exceptional customer service! I purchased a rod which was smaller than I needed. They were nice enough to let me exchange the rod, for the rod I needed for my upcoming trip. To the older gentleman who helped me out, thank you sir, I appreciate the excellent service. read more

Great JDM products. Has a lot of slow pitch jigs for the jigging enthusiast. Also has a lot of Megabass BFS high end hard to find rods.

Always pleasant to talk to, even with a novice like me. Very informative on what they recommend to buy/ use on what your needs are. Don't mind answering "novice" questions. Jacob is very helpful. They have about everything you could ever need but a boat here read more

So this review comes with hesitation Ive bought tackle from this store and like the selection but that is not what i'm reviewing. This is in regards to service dept. Recently my buddy took my reel to get serviced at your shop. It's a pen fathom LW the lever was sticking and becoming hard to move. when i got my reel back the arm and handle were missing. they said they misplaced it and replaced it with another but it was different the. the OEM power handle buy hey at least the thing was fishable again. It took them two weeks to find a handle. I went on one trip and about three drops i'm the lever would not stay in free spool. I had to hold it down on every cast which was awkward but got through it. I don't live next to fisherman's access and due to the fact they already messed up my handle i didn't want to go back there. I took it to a local shop that i recently found and the owned opened my reel and not only was it filthy dirty for newly. ring serviced they slapped grease everywhere. He found out the the reason it was not staying in free spool is there was washer on the lever that was missing. it is a molded piece that allows it to click in place. WTH!!! Never going to go here again for repairs. My buddy who took my reel also got his reels serviced there and is having issues too. Also they fixed a tip on his rod that came loose the next trip...gluing a rod top guide come on now!?! read more

This place is top notch! I was referred here by a local fisherman that I've seen a couple times around Laguna Lake. When I got here for the first time, I was like a kid in a candy store. Everything you can think of, this place has it. The few times I've been here, I've been greeted by Frank (the owner) within just a couple seconds of entering the shop. What I like most about this place is their customer service. They aren't pushy at all and are totally relaxed. I was asked what I was looking for and I got shown exactly that. I got made a couple suggestions that were related to what I was looking for as well. Frank told me about Yorba Linda Regional and how there was tons of fish in there. He also told me what lures he used to catch tons of fish. Frank suggest to me a little popper...man, he wasn't wrong about about this thing producing. I've never been able to hook up a Bass and today I hooked up 5! This place is my go to when I'm looking for help and new tackle. Please give these guys a try and you won't be let down. They know what they're talking about, I promise! read more

Fisherman's Access - A Largemouth Bass catch with my Bevy Popper 50 lure! - Hunting & Fishing Supplies Near Me - Brea, California

Don't like leaving negative reviews but the service department really needs help here they don't know what they are doing. prices on everything on the store are great and they have huge selection of stuff but the reel service sucks. took a talica 10ii for service. took it out once and the side plate was loose and now the handle goes backwards sometimes when its in gear. had to take it to Shimano to fix it... also took my friends 2 avets and one was new only had it out one trip but he decided to service it anyway. took it out on one trip after getting it serviced and its grinding.. never going to take a reel for service there again. beware and take it to the manufacturer for service. read more

Wow! So impressed with the service I received. I went in asking about tackle needed to fish for trout in the Mammoth lakes. I left with my pole set up. Collin didn't try to sell me on extras, just enough for my 8 year old son to catch a fish. He taught me how to do 2 set ups. Bonus, Collin even let me video him tying a knot. The owner and other employees in the store were all so kind. Huge recommendation! read more

Good selection, and helpful staff. Prices are on par for a brick mortar place, and for the ease and location. You get what you pay for. I've been here a couple of times and picked up some hooks, and surface irons. I've also had line put on my Tranx and Talica. Good experience both times. read more

Helpful staff. Came in for Rod repairs. Quick service and great turnaround time. Much appreciated. Thank you.

Stopped in to get a rod and reel for my kid, some tackle, and license. I'm not a very experienced angler, but know what exceptional customer service looks like!! I was greeted walking through the door, and was asked moments later if I needed help with anything. Within 15 minutes I had everything I needed and was given solid advice on what bait to use for the specific lake I was going fishing. These people are true professionals, and make you feel like you're part of the fisherman community even if you're not. read more

Awesome store with great selection and very helpful staff. Willing to help out a newbie like me feel more confident in my fishing with solid pointers. Employees are knowledgeable and are generous in giving advice. After receiving some tips, I got my pb the very next morning! They also helped me set up a nice fresh water set up for my dad and he's digging it. Only great things to say about this place. But other than that, my social life is in ruins. Frank's the reason I've become a fishing addict. My life has been consumed and all my friends hate having me around because all I talk about is going fishing. My wallet's busted and every moment brings me closer to an existential crisis. Thanks Frank. TIGHT LINES read more

I love this store, I've been coming to this place for about 6 years now and it's one of the best tackle shops in the area! They always greet you upon entrance, prices aren't bad, and they are very nice people. They almost always have what you're looking for and more! You should definitely pay this place a visit sometime and check it out! read more

I am 14, I bike here all the time. They are extremely kind and helpful. I ask them for advice because I am still learning, they have the best advice. I ask what to use when going to a new spot and they never try to sell me expensive tackle or anything like that. They are amazing people. 100% recommend read more

*********** Update: Frank is the man. Got me everything I needed to start and I was good to go, caught immediately. Thanks Frank! ************ I've always wanted to try surf fishing. I jumped on Yelp and Fisherman's Access came highly recommended. Spot on Yelpers, the place didn't disappoint! Customer Service: The customer service was extraordinary. Frank is definitely knowledgeable and VERY passionate about fishing. He was patient in answering all my questions in detail. He was considerate in taking time to listening, then giving honest advice on gear and tackle, to fishing techniques, to locations... everything you can think about asking. Store: Professional looking, clean, and well organized. The place offers a wide selection of QUALITY gear and tackle, both fresh and salt water stuff. Location: Off a busy street, just look for the tall red and white sign that says "Fishing Tackle". Not far from the 57 exit. Prices: I couldn't say for sure, but I figured it was in the ballpark. At the end the customer service / advice alone made the purchasing experience well worth any cost. Again Frank steered me in the right direction, he actually "saved" me from purchasing the wrong equipment. I rarely give out five stars, as I believe it's reserved for outstanding places. This is one of those places. Thumbs up and tight lines! As always, let me know what you think. read more

Please note-They moved to 524 E. Imperial Highway, Brea 92821. This store is 3 times the size and well stocked and merchandised. They took a lot of care in setting up the new store and how they wanted to present the product. Great selection of lures, tackle, hooks, and clothing. If you're in North OC, this is the place for fishing tackle and now you don't have to turn to get through the aisle like in their old store. The workers and owner are very helpful and really promote fishing without intimidating you with their knowledge. read more

Excellent fishing store! They have everything but fly fishing. If you are into: Trout, Bass, Shark, deep sea and warm water fishing you will love this place. The manager is super nice and very helpful. I got the powerbraid I needed for my spin reel as well as some LuckyCraft hard bait lures at 10% off for checking in (terminal tackle discount). Great place to check out - they are massive in stock with just about everything. They even go to the Fred Hall show with lots of good deals! read more
