Whalebone Tackle

I love this place. If you're looking for good fishing advice, good gear at a good price and some salty locals that will talk your ear off, this is the place for you.This is where we found out about the awesome trout bite that was happening on the sound, got the gear that we needed to make it work and led to a great fishing day. What more are you looking for?Don't hesitate to ask questions. I think these folks know that their bread and butter is visitors having a great experience, so they'll work hard to make sure you get what you need.

Well today, for starters I was not greeted. They offered no help. When I asked for help they were less than enthusiastic. The older man was belittling and rude but in a nice sorta way. I'm done with this place. I'll be taking my dumb tourist money to TW's.

My husband needed some live bait and suggestions for tackle on what was being caught recently. Whalebone Willy was very knowledgeable on the fishing reports and on his products. We ended up making a second trip back to the shop to pick up one of the stores t-shirts with Whalebone Willy's handsome face on the back! Quite the souvenir!

Great little shop! Whalebone Willy makes it unique

This place is extremely easy to drive right by. And there are definitely tackle shops that have more stuff in them, that are prettier, and probably cost more too. The plus of this place? The people that work there. They know the water, they know the fish, they know the tackle and the bait. And they're more than willing to share ALL of it if you strike up a conversation. Seriously nice guys that don't mind helping out so you can have a good fishing excursion (be it surf fishing, pier fishing, or where to go for a charter). I continue to go back to these guys every year because of this. Their prices are fair and they have everything you need (and will even tell you what you DON'T need).

Very cool place with a lot of tackle!! The offshore selection was great they even had things other shops didn't have here!!
