UPS, Fedex, and USPS were incredibly unhelpful and my dad suggested calling a bait/tackle shop to ask their suggestions. Lucky for me, Stone answered the phone and I'm so grateful!!! He told me the best way to ship a fishing rod is in a specific cardboard tube, and that he'd just give me one from a shipment they got in. 10 minutes later I arrived and he had it waiting for me. Stone even helped cut the line, take the reel off, and pack the fishing pole in safely. I will 100% recommend Tampa Fishing Outfitters because of Stone's kindness.

I've driven past West Marine hundreds of times, but never realized what it was until last week!…read more My husband and I recently joined a boat club and needed to stock up on boating gear for our upcoming adventures. West Marine carries a nice selection of boating gear, clothing and other accessories for water activities. The store is not just limited to boating and water gear; West Marine also sells bikes, coolers, grills, luggage, and outdoor dog gear. We purchased a dog life preserver so that our furry friend could join us on our boat trips. We had no clue what type of dog preserver we should purchase, but the staff was so helpful in suggesting the best one for our dog. We also purchased some dry bags to keep our electronics dry on the boat and my husband purchased some linen shirts. The store had such a nice clothing selection that I think I will be back to purchase some clothing for our next tropical getaway. (For some odd reason it is impossible to find a swimsuit in Tampa in November even though it feels like summer 80% of the year.) Will definitely be back to West Marine soon!

Everybody else is like $10 up on line of 3-7 in some stores. I only bought 2 for now. Still need to test it for later. I been buying my camping kit little by little now that im getting my body back in shape. Want to do some primitive camping but i think ill do the regular one for now until i trust my body to do this in nowhere. Did not know we got camp for free or under 10$ buck a night in primitive camping. Bro i been bummed out for nothing! Got a small mess kit thay will fit a small to medium backpack. Doesnt weight anything. Its perfect. Grabbed a rod holder im just going to tie on a tree or dock. Before leaving i hunted down a new pair of shoes. The mayority i own for adevnture and exploring are too heavy gor my medical nightmare. Francheska was amazing and help me out looking for good deals and perfect shoes. Walked out with a rugged crisscross type. Needed something light, durable and that held my ankle in place. I think they are Cabelas brand ones they were like $35 discounted. Lets say free cuz it finally happened. I used all my member points today lol killed most of my things. Then on the way out i donated to the Boy scouts of America. I was talking with the madam there that its crazy the Girls scouts got like cookies n cakes but the boys got popcorn? It make me crabby! They need jerky and rootbeer! We need like a health brand to make them like protein bars or something like that. Overall i had fun and survived not over buying, they got a crap ton of camping food at buy 2 get 1 free. But i fixed that by buying a dehydrator many years ago. If i had a freeze dryer? I would never need to buy anything in storm season and beyond. Easy camp food: make soups and stews. Then pour into dehydrator or high wall cookie pan and shove in oven as 176-245 degrees. Peel off the dried soup and shove into a zip lock or vacuum seal bag with a humidity packet. U can keep frozen without the packet for long time but these last perfectly for camping. Just add warm water and it rehydrates. Too much work? Then buy the specials its good. They usually 12$+ each bag feeds like two people or give you two meals. Which you can just open and reseal in smaller bags that way they last way longer n you camp longer. I think ill wait for fall to camp i want to take my iesel out and paint the beautiful yellow leaves. Maybe someone will trade me a watercolor for a beer lol

Especially since we brought a travel rod that came in the mail the day before we left for our trip. We did not have any tackle with the rod and reel. Luckily, we ended up at the right tackle shop and with the right person. Andrew helped inform us of the A-Zs for fishing at Skyway Pier, what types of species to expect as well as what tackle would be needed. He also showed how to rig and techniques to fish rigs. Andrew was very mindful of the fact we were visiting and did not oversell us on gear. He was very honest with what he personally uses. Overall experience was a complete 5 stars and I would highly recommend anyone from beginner to pro to make this tackle shop their go to place.

If I could give zero stars, I would. This was one of the worst customer service experiences I've…read moreever had. I came in expecting a professional and respectful interaction, especially from a business owner, but instead I was met with rude, dismissive, and unprofessional behavior. When discussing my firearm, I mentioned a price point around $350, which was immediately shut down without any real conversation. I was then told a much lower value based on a previous sale that didn't seem comparable. When I declined the offer and said I would go elsewhere, the situation escalated. The owner became hostile, raised her voice, and handled my property in a careless and disrespectful way by running outside and throwing my gun in a ditch next to the building. That level of behavior is completely unacceptable. Overall, the experience felt very unwelcoming and disrespectful. Regardless of the situation, basic professionalism and respect should be a standard in any business.

He ensured we had our questions answered, he helped to price match an item and ensured a manager was aware of the price match prior to leaving at his end of day.

The associate in the rollerblade department handed me two boxes, directed me to a bench in another department, and that was apparently the extent of the customer service. Thankfully, two younger female associates stepped in and actually tried to help, which I really appreciated. If Dick's keeps this level of customer service up, they'll be reminiscing with Sports Authority. In summary, I walked in looking for expert advice and walked out realizing the five-star Amazon reviewers were the real sporting goods specialists. Needless to say, Amazon won my business.
