The staff were very friendly and cashier was happy. They directed me to the frozen baits that I wanted. They have a nice assortment of frozen bunker, spearing, squid and others. Plenty of tackle here too, rods, a really nice shop. Checking out was smooth, they take credit card (no fee, though maybe a $10 minimum). I highly recommend this shop!

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

Our new favorite campsite!…read more My husband and I just came back from our first "real" camping trip. When hotels in Seaside Heights were too expensive, we decided to take our camper out to Cedar Creek. Although it's usually a four night minimum, Cedar Creek kindly accommodated us for two nights. Upon arriving, I realized we were way out of our comfort zone. A lot of these people are "seasonal" campers and camp here for months at a time. I was blown away with some of the setups these people had - one even had a bar! Our neighbors welcomed us when we pulled up to our spot and helped us unload. It was a very warm welcome. We did a quick drive around the campsite and saw a pool, a fire pit for s'mores, playgrounds, kayaks and canoes. It totally took me back to "The Parent Trap". I appreciated the 24-hour security. Everyone took their job seriously and made us feel safe. It truly was a fun experience and I'm looking forward to camping her for many years to come!

For my birthday, I decided to gather a few friends and head down to NJ for a fun day of canoeing…read moreand kayaking! I've done this before and I knew exactly what to expect. But what I'm more impressed with is that their service and friendliness was consistent to my last experience. Moreover, it's an oasis away from the city as the scenery is certainly peaceful, tranquil and fun. If you're plan on going, I suggest to pick the 11am slot! This will give you ample time to hang out at the creek before the return time which is at 5:30pm. The company will drive you to the site and will leave you upstream so when you're rowing down, you won't be not fighting against the current. You have the option to go on the 4 hour, 3 hour or 1 hour slot. Best of all, the creek is not that deep, though I was told that there are certain spots that can be 8-10 feet deep but most of the time, it seems like it's only 3-4 feet deep. This was great because it gave me the option to jump in the water and play with my friends since I didn't' know how to swim! If you're renting a canoe, it will cost around $60 which you can split with the other person. But if you like to kayak then the cost is about $45 per person. All in in, I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for something fun to do and still close enough to the city to head back home. The people here are super duper friendly and the creek is beyond clean, the air is fresh and the experience is absolutely priceless!!!! _________________________ They are also a campsite so if you're planning to stay over night, this is also another great way to add more fun to the experience!

As a veteran family, we always appreciated the gesture--not because it was a huge savings, but because it showed support and appreciation for those who have served our country. I was surprised to learn that military discounts were apparently offered at the discretion of individual store managers rather than as a company-wide policy. If that's the case, then shame on the Brick, NJ store for choosing to discontinue this benefit. Our veterans and active-duty service members sacrifice their time, miss important moments with their families, and put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms we all enjoy. A small discount is a simple way to acknowledge and thank them for their service. While every business has the right to set its own policies, I believe supporting military members and veterans should be a priority. It's disappointing to see that recognition taken away.
