The new and improved Fisherman's Den is a staple of Belmar Marina. To start off try one of the…read more15-minute (strickly enforced) parking spots right in front to grab whatever you need for whatever fishing trip you will be embarking on. 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.

I was asked to pick up a reel by my son. The store was a little hard to find but when I did it was…read morea great experience. I was met by a young lady at the counter. 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. I was informed by my son the reel was under warranty. 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. Although I can no longer fish because of an injury I will recommend every one I know to shop at the Reel Seat. Joe T.

Unfortunately I did not have a similar experience to the other review for Shark River Mail Order…read more(SRMO). I placed a pretty big order as they had a reel I liked for a little cheaper then local tackle shops. When I received my order I noticed it was incomplete and what was inside was damaged. I contacted SRMO via email with attached photos of the damaged goods and listed the items missing from my order. I got a reply the following day saying: "Please return for credit Thanks" Their website states: "DAMAGED SHIPMENTS - Sometimes it happens, so rest assured that SHARK RIVER takes all responsibility, Call our toll free number to get instructions and start us shipping you another product right away. You pay nothing extra for this. All packages are insured with carrier automatically without any cost to you." They obviously don't honor the above considering their email reply.. And I'm not sure if they actually read the email since they completely ignored the missing items. I tried calling numerous times to both phone numbers. No answer...crickets... I regret not just paying a few extra bucks and shopping local. Don't make the same mistake I did - AVOID SHARK RIVER MAIL ORDER! Shop local instead.
