I had a negative experience at Fishin' Frank's multiple times, and I'm done with that place. This shop doesn't gatekeep, and tries to help everyone get what they need, and just supports fishing.

Thank you Kevin for the extra effort. I hope your bosses value you as an employee.

They are quite helpful with what they do know, but it is few and far between.

The associates are more knowledgeable and the inventory is much greater and more varied.

I've caught the fishing bug during our month long stay in nearby Palm Island. As a beginner…read morefisherman I knew I needed help figuring out -well everything ! I had a rod and reel but that's it. I googled tackle shops and Captain Ted's Tackle was closest. I was a little nervous that whoever worked there would have little patience with a newby. The owner Jeff greeted me right away and then spent the next 30 minutes asking questions and listening to me as I told him where I was fishing (off the dock) and checking out the rod and reel I had been using. He was patient and took his time with me even when another customer came in. He set me up with the correct fishing line , hooks and lures. He even took the time to show me how to correctly tie the right knots to tie for the lines. He even gave me his card with the phone number in case I had any future questions. Supporting locals businesses is crucial and I can promise you that I won't buy anything related to fishing anywhere but Captain Ted's Tackle. That's a promise.

It is well lit and stocked with guns and hunting gear. Unfortunately the man in charge, I believe the owner, was not friendly or welcoming. Maybe he was having a bad day, but, if a new customer came into my store, I'd be reaching out to them to find their interests and establish common ground. He did anything but do that. No questions about what my firearm interest where. I'm a decently dressed senior citizen, he acted like I was a bum or punk. As I left i toyed with the idea of telling him I wouldn't be back due to his unfriendly attitude. But held my tongue

Overall, a positive experience if you are looking to sell some of your unneeded boating equipment.
