I can't take it anymore! Way too many folks are not listening to the crew on what is working in our area to catch rockfish, lingcod, cabezon, etc. They bring out their gear that works great IN OTHER AREAS and live and die by using it because they are certain it is going to work. More often than not, though, they end up with few if any fish in their bag. If the crew let's you know that the gear you brought has not been working recently, listen to them! They want you to catch fish as much if not more than you do...really! if you see everyone else catching fish and you're not, the fish are probably not interested in what you are using. Off our coastline the number one lure you can use to have a successful day rockfishing is our shop-exclusive HMB shrimp fly lures designed by Capt. Bob who ran boats for more than 35 years out of Half Moon Bay. These flies hands-down catch more fish than anything else we can offer, and they only cost $2.99 each! They don't look much different than what you'll buy elsewhere, but in our area the HMB flies hands-down outfish pretty much all the other brands. This is hosestly not a sales pitch, but a plea to help us help you catch the fish you came to get. Remember, listen to the crew!!!
One last note: we keep our prices as reasonable as possible on the tackle we sell here at the shop.
