Gotcha Bait & Tackle - Last minute fishing trip! Didn't catch anything but the boys had a great time - Sporting Goods Near Me - Antioch, California

Love this shop, been coming here since I was a kid! Friendly guys and that great old school fishing feeling. All kinds of live baits and tackle. Cash only but has an atm inside. My favorite feature as always is all the photos around the shop. The only newest addition is the political sign that says TRUMP On the door in bold letters that made me a little nervous when I returned after so many years but rest assured they were great and no political talk just fishing stuff. Love the older gentleman, he grows fruits and veggies around the property and bakes for resale. He's the sweetest and dopest one of all make sure you catch em and say hello! read more

They always have bait you need especially live. Wish they took card payments but I'm not going to complain. They always have everything

Love, mom and Pops stores, I have absolutely nothing to say bad about this place the staff there was extremely helpful a lot of knowledge for professional anglers as myself I would recommend this place to any of my friends. Thanks again for the helpful hits. read more

Been going to this place for several years never had any problems with the folks in there however, on my last visit, I noticed that things have changed or maybe they were always this way but bringing politics into your business is a way to lose business read more

Let me start with the customer service from This place. I only met Don and Matt yet. But heard very good things about Emily and the other folks here too. As a business owner I know how important it is to keep your clients happy. And so those guys. They are polite, knowledgeable and won't hesitate to share their knowledge with you. Thanks to them we were able to catch a really good amount of fish's at the Delta even with horrible weather conditions. Their place is clean, we'll organized and have all you need for your fishing trip, and the most important thing is... Smile in their face from the moment they open the store at 5Am. Great job guys. Keep up with the good work. read more

Gotcha Bait & Tackle - Sporting Goods Near Me - Antioch, California

My wife and I stopped in the shop looking for some advice as well as some shad. Boy owe boy were we surprised this mom and pop shop delivered with a down to earth customer service experience. The selection of bait was the best I've ever seen and prices were very reasonable. The shelves aren't packed with gimmicks. They have everything you need and nothing you don't need. If every store owner took lessons from these folks the world would be simply a better place. Honest,hardworking,friendly and not looking to get rich on one customer. I love it!!!! Thanks for putting us on the meat. Nick & Kim read more

Very nice workers and put effort! Super high quality and also gets me fish every time

Great service, great people, and fast service. The last place I went to sold me dead shrimp so I knew what to look for this time. All bait were lively and REAL grass shrimp. If you have an issue with their 'jumbo' bait then maybe you should ask to see the bait you're buying before buying it and judge if you want jumbo or not. read more

Awesome place to get worms for my monster fishes lol. They're also friendly. . . . . .

Billy hooked me up here, spooled my reels and set up my rigs for me even though he was about to leave. Great customer service appreciate y'all read more

These guys are great,open early and always have the right bait and hot spots to drop a line

Just went In and purchased 18 " jumbo" minnows , these things are anything but jumbo , they are medium at best . I'm rather disappointed that if they didn't have jumbo minnows they would charge me accordingly. read more

Gotcha Bait & Tackle - Secret bait from Gotcha got em - Sporting Goods Near Me - Antioch, California

Great shop they always have a good selection of fresh bait and updates if u haven't been able to get out fishing.

AS HAPPY AS A CAT IN A FISHING STORE A couple of cool cats work here. Not to be confused with the two cats that live here. Meow! I had a fish once. It lasted a few weeks in my cat house. I should have known better. I bet these cats are well-fed! We stopped in and were surprised at how empty the store was. Thought there'd be a lot more product to browse. The employees were helpful though and we talked a little bit about crabbing. The only purchase I made was for two packs of sunflower seeds. This is going to sound odd but they were the best sunflower seeds we'd ever had. Nothing fancy, just Frito-Lays brand with Ranch and Flamas flavors. But they were the absolute best. Great little bait store with friendly service and loveable cats! read more

Cute family own bait shop. He takes care of his products and customers. Highly recommend.

I've been going to this store for years buying only little miscellaneous items. But just recently I made a major purchase there and it was smooth with no hiccups. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and make you feel completely comfortable to ask any questions. Also their prices usually beat large stores like Bass pro shop. They have a small inventory for guns and bows but they can bring in almost anything. Make sure to check this place out before traveling an hour or so. read more

Love a bait shop that I don't feel uncomfortable in when I enter and ask what's biting on what. Five stars for the huge "order" of Grass Shrimp although the Shad seemed to have the desired affect on the Stripers. Thanks for always giving us decent fishing advice. read more

Love this place always has good bait and inexpensive weights and last minute fishing tackle.

This is going to be a joint yelp because I started to write this review in front of my honey, who then decided he wanted in on the yelp game...."hey get yer own yelp fella!" "It's cool baby, I will share my yelp with you. This time...." So, we buy these fishing licenses the other day (circa 3/2008 KMart yelp) and find ourselves in need of bait and bait "like" products. From my past experiences, being the daughter of a commercial fisherman and the sister of a boat captain and all (cuz I am fancy like that) I know that I just want plain old run of the mill every day night crawlers. Growing up on boats kinds of put a bad smell in my nose if you will for anchovies and I refuse to use them (or eat what I catch) but that is my hang up. We get two tubs of large night crawlers, cuz that's how we roll, and head to the pier. After bragging to my kids and husband *again* how fabulous I am at baiting the hooks (call me the MASTERBAITER please) aaaand fishing ... I choke. Not only does J catch 7 fish, D catches 3 and my honey catches 4 - I dint get any love until its almost time to leave! I will add that the ONE fish I was able to snag was the biggest tho' (ha ha ha) no pictures to prove it. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera :-) Gotcha! Bait and Tackle has nothing to offer except for plentiful amounts of various bait and a partially stocked metal rack of chips - no beverages or jerky. I'd have done better with beer and strips of beef. Oh, and the guy that works their was helpful and polite and didn't embarrass me when I asked for worms that don't bite. Extra star for that! read more

Been going there for years an always been helpful. Prices are the best an always fresh. Best bait shop around.

Found our new bait shop! The guys here were so helpful and friendly. There are also 2 cats living here, the younger cat Toodles, is really sweet! He loved getting his belly rubbed by me and my 4 year old lol Picked up a 1/4 lb of grass shrimp and a container of night crawlers, going to take our daughters fishing. Only cost us around $10.00 Cool business. They give lots of great tips and advice you can always call for tide info too. Here's their phone number (925)706-7400 Great hours, they are open til 7:00pm. read more

Great helpful bait shop...gave them 4stars cuz they don't have pile worms in stock that much...super nice people that know the area...AND they grow their own tomatoes...so go for the tomatoes if nothing else!!! read more

They had a really good selection and everything was displayed on the board making it very easy to read. Also packed our frozen bait with ice which is always helpful. Employee also gave us very helpful advice. read more

Located right down the street from the Anitoch bridge pier. Great live bait options for whatever you are trying to catch. Only reason I give 4 stars is because they only had 1 guy in there working and it can take some time to get what you need. read more

Very helpful! I had never been Bass fishing before and they answered all the questions I was throwing at them. Questions, I'm sure, they answer time and time again every day. Friendly staff. It's apparent they all love their job. That, or they're on some really good antidepressants. Lol! read more

Gotcha bait & tackle always got your bait & tackle and the guys that work there are cool too but stay jawsin

Best bait shop in Pittsburg. Conveniently located right before the toll bridge into rio vista. I came by on president's day and picked up some fresh fatty pile worms. Must have been some magical high quality bait. It put me on my first keeper 50" Dino for the year! Thanks gotcha bait! read more

Come on guys where's more grass shrimp. !! Most of the time try get limited grass shrimp. They couldn't reserve it for you. You need to be there as early as possible to get te goods. Friendly service .. That's for sure . I would give 5 stars if there's more grass shrimps read more
