Lemon Grove Bait & Tackle is my go-to tackle shop in San Diego. They've got a solid selection of…read moretackle, lures, and bait, and the customer service is always excellent. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to share tips that make a difference out on the water. Their prices are very fair for what they carry, and that's a big reason I keep coming back. My only wish is that they stocked Strike King and Berkley products, since I find those brands are a little more budget-minded for anglers like myself. That said, they do a great job with what they offer, and I always leave satisfied. If you're looking for fair prices, a good selection, and great service from people who know their stuff, Lemon Grove Bait & Tackle is the place to go.

For San Diego and its fly fishers, Stroud is an institution. And Rick is that institution embodied…read more You will find whatever you need at the shop, and if for some reason you can't find what you are looking for, Rick can get it for you. If you are a novice ask him questions, and he will tell you everything you'd need to know. Be careful about making friends here because you end up joining the fly fishing club and you are forever hooked on fly fishing. Many victims have fell into that scheme of things - including me!

Rick is a man of deep and practical knowledge, especially when it comes to fly fishing and fly…read moretying as well. For those new to fly fishing and seeking thoughtful, affordable guidance, he is someone worth listening to. His recommendations are never generic, they are shaped by water, tide, season, and lived experience. From halibut in the surf to cruising perch along the shoreline, he understands both the fish and the conditions that shape them. From fishing to tying, he has what you need; and if he does not, he will make sure it finds its way to you. And if he cannot join you on the water himself, chances are he knows someone who can. In a sport built on patience, trust, and quiet understanding, Rick is one of those rare people who helps others find their footing without pretense. And sometimes, even when you need nothing at all, it is still worth stopping by, for the conversation, and for a good laugh.

But, I tell the staff where she's going and what she's trying to catch (& release), and they alwys point me in the right direction. This year for Christmas I wanted to get her a certain fishing rod that she was drooling over. I popped in. They ordered one in for me, and I had it in time for the holiday. In years past, I have ordered one and they held it, until I could be all sneaky to hide it when she wasn't home. The customer service here is alwys great, the selection amazing and the advice is top notch!!

Top notch fly fishing shop in San Diego. From the beginner to the advanced they have you covered!…read more My 10 year old has grown to love fishing. He's spent time on deep sea boats, lots of lake spinner fishing and now has an interest in fly fishing. I have very little to no knowledge of fly fishing. We went to the Fly Stop and were amazing! The staff greeted us and immediately were eager to share their knowledge and learn our interests. After explaining our planned trip, the researched (and showed us how) what flies were the most successful for the areas we were fishing. After researching they took us to their expansive collection of flies and equipment to help us select the right gear to hopefully have a solid trip. The price of the flies were absolutely incredible... most were between $1-$2! We had a great time learning and looking through their inventory. We will definitely be back!

The selection of spearguns is unprecedented for Southern California! Wow!…read moreNice people, helped me find what I needed. There is a large selection of wetsuits, masks, and accessories.

This guy was friendly, knowledgeable, and really helpful. He made solid recommendations for future trips, but I stuck with my usual ammo since my rifle prefers it. Great customer service is the reason I'll be back. He made the whole visit smooth and stress free (especially after the 5 dollar background check) exactly what you want when gearing up for a hunt. I totally forgot the guys name but he was bald and Samoan or some kind of islander, the other guy with the mustache was also helpful.

Hey Everyone. I rarely provide reviews to Yelp. The product/service has to be really terrible or…read morereally awesome for me to take the time to write a review. I recently had an "awesome" experience at the Discount Gun Mart in Santee. Initially, I worked with Chandler who provided insight into the changes I should make to my current weapon to comply with all regulations. After parts arrived, Jared was able to explain the intricacies of CA laws regarding "AR type" rifles. Between the two of them, their knowledge of firearms and CA regulations allowed me to make purchasing decisions that ensured that my rifle met all legal requirements in CA. If you have any questions about legality of specific rifles or types of rifles (black powder vs standard cartridges), I would recommend a stop by Discount Guns on a weekday when they're not busy. Lots of knowledge is available for no cost. Thanks Guys!!!
