Was debating on a 3 star vs a 4. I give you a 3 just because some people are more helpful than others. I have gone here since 6 years old and the owner, Jack is one of the most helpful people there. There is another 2 young men that are helpful there as well. However, there is a man who has a black beard and is decently tall and has no patience and doesn't really help much. I do like their selection of salt and freshwater baits and prices are higher than TWH, but I can handle it. I would however I like to go to the Longfin more though. Just because everyone there is helpful and polite. So if you see Jack, he is DEFINITELY by far the person to help you. read more

Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Everyone there is friendly and I support local small businesses as a matter of principle.

Great place! I was a first time customer at the shop, and they couldn't have been nicer. They helped me find a rod that fit what I was looking for since I was going fishing a few days after my visit. I ended up destroying fish on my trip read more

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

Such a wonderful experience! I wanted to surprise my husband with a 'fishing gear' setup... all while knowing zip about what would work to refuel his childhood hobby. I was helped out very graciously, patiently and with great care. I'm hoping the hubs enjoys his new rod and goodies enough that we can return to this shop again and again. They have everything under the sun and are extremely kind to newbies :) read more

Nice, cozy spot. The workers appear to be very kind and willing to offer any advice or answer any questions you may have. They ordered a rod from a manufacturer for me, a certain model that they didnt have at the time. told me they'll have it before noon and before noon it was. Very grateful, thank you. Will be looking for another setup soon, will be sure to come here for that. 5 stars! read more

Great store and very friendly and helpful dude that works here. New to the area and was first time in the store. Will be my new go to now.

Great selection of fishing equipment and staff is very friendly. But my first experience there had a couple bumps. There is a young kid there about 20 years old. I think he has a lot of experience. However he asked me if he could put my reel on my rod so I let him. I get down to the boat I'm straightening up my rig I get it all done and I go to cast and I realize he put my real on backwards. So I had to redo the whole thing again. When I was with him in the store I showed him another reel I brought into the store and without noticing that the tightening knob was missing he tightened up the drag and showed me that the drag was not working. So I took it to one of my friends who said it works fine. I did end up buying another reel because of the kid. I hope the owner will educate this kid a little more on some things so he doesn't embarrass himself in the future read more

Love this place, they have those hard to find lures and swimbaits. The staff knows the sport of fishing and is always willing to tell a tale or two. I have never had a bad experience there. Not to mention it's right down the street from my job. They even took the time to help with questions I had about my rare Fenwick FF83. I would recommend this shop to anyone who wants to know what the fish are biting on and how to fish it. Thanks guys, I'll be back.....again! read more

Don't you just LOVE it when you find a great lil' store ! I was waiting to meet up with a friend to eat at Sweet Divas cottage bistro next door when I saw this shop and quickly ran in to get supplies for my next pier fishing trip. yah yah I know what kind of fishing is that, well it's free food for my dogs and cat. Anywho, as soon as I walked in and appeared a bit 'lost' one of the workers came over to help me. I am one of those people who just hate pesky sales people, but this person was great and knowledgeable. I got the Hot Sauce lube for the reel/line, and some sabikis. I will definitely go there again! read more

The workers here, especially Frank, know everything about fishing! Their prices a bit higher than most other places, but all of their fishing tackle is high quality. read more

Great local tackle shop. The guys are extremely helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly honest. The shop isn't that big, but they'll have just about everything you'll need for local fishing, salt or fresh. This is one of my favorites. read more

All of the staff members are very knowledgeable and polite! I told they owner I was going big BFT fishing and he pulled me to the side for 20 minutes! Talked to me about the best way to fight and land my catch and he was a large reason I was able to land 2-180# BFT. His recommendations were spot on and most of the gear I have is from them. They offer custom rod building and maintenance of the gear you already have with a quick turn around time. They have a great selection and if they don't have it they can usually find it! I highly recommend you check out this amazing shop! You will not be disappointed. read more

I've seen this location for a long time but finally stopped in today prior to my fishing excursion on Friday. They were super helpful with my old reels. They tested it out and determined it's not in the best working order. They found a reel within my price range. From start to finish everyone was very friendly and helpful. I'll be coming back here again for sure. read more

First time visit, very helpful staff. Shop seemed more geared towards saltwater fishing but was adequately stocked for freshwater fishing as well. Re-spooning freshwater light line was very affordable and convenient at $4 per 100 yards. I'll definitely will be back!! read more

Great customer service! The guys here helped me find exactly what I needed for some fishing off the pier today. I'll definitely be coming back as I learn more about fishing. Check this spot out! read more

This is an amazing shop , their customer service is some of the greatest I have seen in a while, had some issues with a new reel I bought and they helped me get it resolved. Very knowledgeable when it comes to fishing and I am more then satisfied with their recommendations on products and overall honesty that is rare to come by. I will be giving them my business for my fishing needs when it comes to freshwater and saltwater! Thank you Fisherman's! read more

Jake, Mark and Frank are great at helping their customers find the right setup and baits needed to catch your preferred sport fish. Nothing but great experiences with this business. Please keep up the great work!!! read more

Friendly, knowledgeable, and well stocked. Everything you need and more. If by chance they don't have what you came in for, they can order it for you. This is truly your local neighborhood tackle shop. Come in and check it out. I'm confident you'll leave satisfied. read more

I was a fan of the old location. With that said, the "new" location has a charm of its own. :) How can a reviewer NOT give them 5 stars?!? They have everything one could possibly want. If they don't have it, they can get it. They are ridiculously knowledgable. They are passionate. They freely share information with their customers. They love their customers and their customers love them. Enough said! Thanks for everything. Sincerely, A Loyal Customer read more

It has taken me a little time to write this review but I just had to get it done and tell everyone about this place. They are awesome bait and tackle shop. All the guys there have experience in some kind of fishing. Staff ages vary from young to middle age which allows people of all ages to come here and chat it up with the guys. Mark assisted me and has been on point. Hooked my son and I up with some surf fishing gear, suggested Dog beach for perch, and the next day we caught perch. Not a cheap place but if you are buying cheap gear and fishing, could have a problem. But they work with what you are looking to spin. I live this spot and will be getting all of my fishing gear from here. Go check them out. Oh, did I mention they have raffles occasionally - I won a Tabula spinner reel. read more

What a great find! I've lived in brea for 30 years and always saw this place but never went in until yesterday. Had a fishing equipment need and staff helped me out and I was on my way in minutes. So great to have this neighborhood resource. read more

Fishermans Access is the best tackle shop in the LA and OC area! I drive past several other tackle retailers just to shop at this place. The staff is extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable on all the gear they carry and fishing overall. They also are very nice when I bring my 6 year old with me and he touches everything in the store. I have had many personal product recommendations from every employee at the store and have caught fish on all the baits I have purchased from them. I never feel like they are there to just sell me products. Rather educate me on what the differences are between the different baits and tell me what techniques they are getting bit on or how to use the bait. They carry a wide assortment of line, hooks, weights, jigs, rods, reels, big swimbaits, soft plastics, reaction baits, dough baits, live baits, frozen baits and apparel. In addition to the products offered they offer a rod/reel servicing. They even have a vape store in the same building if you are into that. Fishermans Access has a great selection of many JDM products that you just don't see at other retailers. They also offer a consignment on used gear. So you can sell your old gear and get store credit or pick up high end products at a great price. If you can't make it down to the store front you can call them and get your stuff shipped directly to you. I cannot say enough good things about this business. Fishermans Access have definitely helped me take my angling to the next level. If you are in need of any tackle or suggestions they are definitely they place to go check out. Ask for Jack, Mark, Frank, Seth or Jake and they will get you setup right . Thanks you Fishermans Access for being the best shop in the the area. read more

Been buying my salt water and freshwater gear from them for the past 7 years. Great people working in the shop. They are always helpful and extremely knowledgeable. read more

Great customer service! Doesn't matter what your skill level is or how long you have been fishing; these guys will help you out without a pretentious fishing attitude. The guys at fishermans access won't try to sell you the most expensive stuff, instead try to sell you what you plan on doing. Tell them what you're looking on doing and these guys will keep your rods bent without breaking the bank. Best tackle shop in OC. Tight lines! read more

Great place to by those fishing supplies..I will always try to support the small businesses like this one... The owner is very knowledgeable and has a great selection of fine products. this is a great find ...Screw the big chains stores ... support the little guys like this one!!! read more

Once a year, once a month, or an everyday angler, this store is the best thing ever since sliced bread. Tackle heaven with everything you can possibly fathom. Great staff too, super informative. read more

It's okay. It's your local, curmudgeon-y tackle shop. If they don't know you, or you're they don't really seem too interested. There selection is GOOD, and their prices are MSRP, so don't expect any "deals." Parking is a little weird. I took my 6 and 9 year old son and the staff seemed to tolerate them, which was nice. read more

I just started fishing about 2 1/2 months ago and i first hesitated to go in because i thought they might make fun of me beacuse im a newbie. They actually helped me out alot and set me up with my first begginer lure set. I now try and shop there for all my needs plus to look at all those fancy lures they have. Keep up the good work guys. read more

I came to this place without knowing much about fishing and the guy who helped me out(I think he is the owner)was really nice and helped me pick my baits out and even helped me tie it on to my fishing rod and even took the time to teach me how to use it. This place is a great place to go for anyone who loves fishing. read more

This place is awesome! Never have I had such great customer service! The people here are great! FA Vaping is inside too with great product and employees that work with you! You must come see! read more

Best tackle shop! Five stars!! Wonderful customer service! The staff is well educated and helpful. We'll be back for sure!

Certainly stocked with all the appropriate tackle for fishing. I have always felt a bit stupid with my knowledge in this shop. I like the the staff, but it seems they are looking down the road for the bigger ticket customer when I browse. I have fished with many of the staff, but somehow they forget me. read more

This store not only has everything you need to fish but also great employees who are helpful and knowledgable in fishing. Shout out to Jack for repairing my reel to be fully functional again. These guys take a great care of their customers. read more

Awesome store has everything you need and a great and knowledgable staff. I went in to get my latest swim bait and was very happy with their selection. Will definitely be going back for more! read more

Came here on a friends suggestion in search of rod. The two guys working today were both extremely helpful and courteous. They had no problem showing me any and all rods/reels as well as answering any questions I may have had. I ended grabbing a lure, some hooks, and a new shimano rod and couldn't have been happier with the price and product. This was my first time here but it definitely won't be my last! read more

Jack and Frank have been of the most help for years. You honestly get what you pay for, and let me say top quality is of their names. With that, there hasn't been a time that I have left without great information on what I am going to do for that specific occasion. They have assisted with local fishing all the way to the eastern sierra. Then again these well informed men have fished it all. On that note, my girlfriend still out fishes me. We will always be patrons of this tackle store. The quantum reel we purchased last worked wonders up at Crawly lake. Going for another to match a set. read more
