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.

They did not have the part but Kevin said, there has got to be something in here that will work". Within 4 minutes, I walked out of the store with a part that was superior to what I was looking for. 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. If you have a choice and have the willingness to travel, go to the West Marine on NorthBound Tamiami Trail in Punta Gorda just over the bridge. 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.

He took all the time in the world to answer questions and help us get the right equipment and learn to use it. The price wa incredibly affordable. I had to go back the next day because my son had an "accident" and he replaced the pole at no cost. He is a sweetheart and really knows and enjoys his business. You also have to meet Jack, his Boston Terrier who is always in the store and enjoys a little attention.

The two people that work inside the store, two young girls have no idea how to handle firearms and…read morehave no knowledge of firearms myself. I'm a retired law enforcement officer, and also a military veteran. As far as I'm concerned I've been in there twice. They are very overpriced and very unsafe. You never hand someone a pistol or a semi automatic with a magazine in it without clearing it I don't care if it's brand new in the cabinet you drop the magazine you lock back to the slide and then you handed it to me anyone going in there be careful. I saw a customer yesterday. Unload a 9 mm at the front counter standing right next to me because he wanted to sell it. I felt very unsafe. I would not recommend anyone going there and I will never be back there again. One more note they're selling used guns at full retail market value with no flexibility at all to negotiate that's absolutely disgusting.

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
