The woman at the register was friendly and polite. Maybe next time I could actually catch something more than a sunburn.

Since when did dicks stop given out the youth football discount??!??!?!?…read more My son has played on the golden Eagels in Bayville since he was 5... every year I come to dicks to get new cleats, practice pants, cups, mouth guards, occasional a new duffle bag to keep helmet and shoulder pads in, undershirts, water bottles, etc... Every year I mention the football league and they give me a discount, until I went in Monday night 7/29/24. The floor assistance wasn't too bad I did manage to find someone to help me w cleats and a dressing room but when I asked where a product is they had no idea or pointed me in a different direction. Which isn't a big deal but I left never finding football socks there was a small wall of soccer socks but no football anyways.. I begin to check out and while I'm checking out I asked the woman at the register if she can't give me the youth football discount, she immediately tells me no because they only give out physical coupons now without it she has nothing to scan... so I said ok hold on let me call the league because this has never happened before... they never give us in person coupons.. the person I got ahold of said they requested a discount code a few days before that Microsoft crash and that affected dicks so there still waiting for a response but even they told me just tell her the name of the team which I did this woman just had a nasty attitude.. I don't get it it's not coming out of your pay check I know they have scannable coupons at the register I've seen them beep them before. It's shame she's not willing to help a single mom buying my kid football stuff.. it gets worse tho she tells me my total.... 500$ what the hell... so I start looking over everything I got items were coming up more money on their computer system then I says on the tags! I had to physically show her the duffle bag was 79.99 it came up 89.99 it wasn't on sale the original price was 79.99, then other things were way off too I got him 2 mouth guards a nice one that was 20$ and a thinner cheaper one that was 11$ except the 11$ one came up 26!!! You would think after almost over charging me had I just swiped my card she would give me a discount.. nope she just said she didn't look at the tag prices she just scanned them and left them at the price they came up... so she fixed it and put the correct price in but that was so annoying I told her I'm holding onto the receipt so I can get a price adjustment once I get my discount code. But she told me it won't matter because their coupons are only good on the weekends and i came in on Monday so it wont count... this lady is a complete bitch for no reason. Thanks a lot DICKS

If you are going on a party boat you can grab some extra rigs and weights, if you fishing near the marina or surf fishing they have all the live and frozen bait + lures you will need. They even have rods and reels for sale. Best part is they have boats to rent that you can take around in the Shark River. They are small (16ft) and have like a 9 HP engine but get the job done to cruise around the river and do some fishing. Bring your patience if you are heading in there before the party boats head out (early morning) (2:30 pm) because it will be crowded in there but they move the line quickly.

This review has more to do with West Marine in general as opposed to this location (although I did…read morecall them only to be told the item I ordered online was out of stock in my size). So here it goes: I took advantage of a recent 25% off sale that applied to Aftco Barracuda Geo Cool long sleeve shirts and ordered both a blue and silver color. I was excited about catching a break with a great deal. When I placed the order on the site, it said that both items were in stock. I received an order confirmation email and then a few hours later it said that both items were backordered and gave me a month lead time to expect a ship date. I was less than thrilled about this but decided to wait it out because of the great price. Two days later, I received another email stating that the gray shirt had shipped and the blue shirt was being "fulfilled by vendor" with "no tracking available at this time." I wrote an email to customer service describing exactly what had happened complete with the applicable screenshots and asked for an explanation. I still have yet to receive a response. I ended up calling customer service the following day. I waited 5 minutes and then opted for a call back when a representative would be available to help as there were 51 people ahead of me. (I know we are all going through a rough time so I didn't mind waiting). I got a call back an hour later, and the Customer Service agent was very informative, friendly and patient. She explained that the blue shirt that was being "fulfilled by vendor" was shipping for another store that had the item in stock. She provided me with tracking info (which should have been updated on the website at this point) and told me that my online order would reflect the update in the next day or so. At this point, I thought that the problem was solved. I was a tad bummed out that the blue shirt would be five days later as I had a trip planned where I would be utilizing these shirts but figured that I'd at least have the one that was arriving the next day. When I received the package and eagerly opened it I was extremely disappointed to find that West Marine had shipped a 2XL instead of a M. I immediately called customer service and repeated the same process as before: 5 minutes of dead air wait time and then 40 minutes for a return call... Again the agent was very nice and respectful and advised that I wait until I received the blue shirt to make sure it was correct (even though he confirmed I ordered two Medium shirts) and then take it back for an exchange to a West Marine brick and mortar close to me. Unfortunately, I didn't have the luxury of waiting as I ordered the shirt specifically for a trip. Every WM in NJ was out of stock. Rather than go through the hassle of waiting again, I simply returned the shirt to the closest WM and am praying that the one coming on Saturday is the right size. This order process is way too convoluted and too much of a waste of time. Sadly, I will refrain from ordering from West Marine again.

I gave her the receipt that I was given and she stated I will be right back. She returned a short time later with the reel. She stated there was a charge for the service.

She checked with someone else at the shop and came back to me and explained they deal with the reel company often and stated she will take care of the paper work for the warranty and explained that I could take the reel and not be bothered coming back. I thanked her and left. The young lady went out of her way to help me as she took her time to do so.
