So here is why I like the shop so much. As soon as I dropped my line in the water I lost my rig. The mate put another rig on and the line snapped. I was upset. So I went in to Bob's and said the braid is crap. Well he checked and cleaned my guides and lo and behold the tip was broken, really broken!!! he fixed it on the spot and I walked out a very happy camper and Bob's Bait and Tackle has a new customer.

It wasn't until WE called the captain at 6:30, when no one showed up at the boat, that he told us that he's sick and was not coming. Our group was understanding that people get sick but why was it at the time that the charter was going to start that we were told it's been cancelled? We went to the store to get our money back and I have never seen such poor customer service. When we asked why we weren't notified sooner by management, the manager told us he wasn't awake and basically said sorry about your luck. We wasted time, gas money, and a beautiful morning of the one week of vacation we get a year only to be treated like an inconvenience.

Keith…read morehelped hubby set up our rental and he was very accommodating when we were unsure whether or not we'd even be able to take the boat out, driving all the way from Westchester. If the winds were above 15 knots, we would not have been able to go but we were able to wait until we knew for sure, before having to make the almost 90-minute drive to the island. There was an overcast and it was chilly when we first arrived. When we got to the marina, Keith met us on the dock by the boat, gave hubby a little rundown of the features and sent us on our way. We drove out for some time and just hung out while we watched the skies part and make way for sun. The water was a bit bumpy and after having some lunch, we were all ready to head back. The boat was kept in a pretty tight slip; it was hubby's first time driving. After two attempts at trying to make it into the slip, we called Keith to come out and give us a hand and he was able to hop aboard from the dock of a slip with better access, and then park us safely. This is definitely something we'll likely do on a regular basis, making it a family outing every summer. The boat was clean, had a fish finder, GPS and radio so it was easy for a first timer to get the hang of and enjoy taking out.

I stopped in recently looking for a medium light rod and reel combo for some fishing at Belmont Lake State Park and Southard's Pond. The owner greeted me like a regular, even though it was my first visit. Before pointing me toward anything, he asked the right questions -- where I'd be fishing, what I'd be targeting, whether I prefer live bait. That kind of intake matters. It's the difference between a salesman and someone who actually wants to set you up for a good day on the water. He walked me over to a display and pulled a rod, reel, and line combo -- all for $50. "This is all you need," he said. And he meant it. He could have easily steered me toward something pricier, but he didn't. That kind of honesty is rare and it earns loyalty. A few bobbers and a bag of hooks later, I walked out fully rigged and ready to go. The shop is easy to find -- right on Montauk Highway, about half a mile from the Robert Moses Causeway. It's not a massive space, but the selection is surprisingly deep, covering rods, reels, hooks, line, lures, and both fresh and frozen bait. The 4.8 stars on Google Maps aren't an accident. Highly recommended.

shopping at Monkey Sports in Farmingdale should be a straightforward and enjoyable experience, and…read moreto be fair, many of the employees here are helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the entire experience is ruined by the store manager, Ryan Maloney. He is, without a doubt, the worst part of this store--clueless, unprofessional, and completely unfit for his role. as a manager, you'd expect him to have at least a basic understanding of the products, yet he seems to know absolutely nothing. Ask him a question about any type of gear, and you'll either get a completely incorrect answer or some bizarre, unhelpful remark that makes you wonder if he even knows what's in his own store. While other employees go out of their way to assist customers, Ryan seems more interested in making everything more difficult. to make matters worse, his demeanor is just plain uncomfortable. Instead of being professional and customer-friendly, he makes weird, off-putting comments that leave you wondering if he's deliberately trying to confuse or irritate people. What really crossed the line was when he made unsettling remarks toward both me and my son. Rather than focusing on helping us find what we needed, he seemed more interested in making awkward, unnecessary comments that had nothing to do with our shopping experience. It was uncomfortable, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. on top of all that, he doesn't even seem capable of managing basic store operations. At one point, he actually pulled one of his employees away from helping another customer just so they could assist him with something--completely disregarding the fact that the customer had been waiting for help. Instead of leading by example, he comes off as lazy, unorganized, and completely out of his depth. and his appearance--because if you're expecting a manager who looks even remotely presentable, you're out of luck. Ryan strolls around the store in cheap Walmart sweatpants like he just rolled out of bed. It's honestly a shame because the rest of the staff here are great--they know their stuff, they're friendly, and they actually care about customer service. But with Ryan Maloney in charge, the entire store suffers. If Monkey Sports wants to maintain its reputation, they should seriously reconsider who they have running the place. Until then, I'd highly recommend taking your business elsewhere.
