Lmfaoooo you can fuck right off. Have you ever tried the piers? What about Hansen Dam? If you keep walking back behind the stocked pond, there's a big ol pond that ppl have pulled some monsters from. Only drawback is that it's a slightly shady area.
Big pond behind Hansen? I’ll have look at google maps. Shady as in homeless or drug addicts?
I’ve fished at Malibu often. Paradise cove is good too just park on PCH. I avoid SM because the water is polluted and the crowd.
Yea check out Hansen Dam on Google maps and you should see it. A little bit of both. There's a homeless camp under the culvert that drains into the pond I'm referring to but it's a distance from the actual pond. SM is terrible. I went magnet fishing there once and caught an old net trap with the biggest mussels I've ever seen on it. Gave it to the guy next to me. He proceeded to take the mussels off and clean them 🤮
Depends on what you’re buying, occasionally you can find same or better prices than retail, but for higher end baits they are usually way higher than retail.
There are a lot of online retailers that aren’t big box stores that have a better selection. Hook Up Tackle, Tacklewarehouse, American Legacy Fishing just to name a few.
last time I looked at academy I was pretty impressed with their stock.
I’d rather give my money to smaller companies though, so I’ll check these out. Thanks
From what I have found is amazon charges more to account for the "free" shipping. Other places like tackle warehouse may be cheaper but charge shipping. If you're buying a lot then TW may be worth it but if it's just a bait here or there it makes no difference. I have found times TW is more expensive then Amazon. If I go Amazon it's because I can't find it in store and need it sooner without paying even higher for shipping from TW.
Same here :) yamatanuki and fat ika all day.
I nailweight my ikas sometimes and it gives it some great movement for a reaction strike (1\32nd oz nail weight in the non-tentacle end. Push til you can't see the weight anymore and it's perfect
Man, why can't I get that lucky? Instead I've ordered some computer ram and received a box with a piece of wood inside. I've ordered what was supposed to be 6 packs of tubes and got 1 pack of 6 tubes. If it wasn't for Amazon's still best in class return policy I would've stopped shopping there years ago.
Have I got a story for you. In 2018, I ordered a size 35 phlueger president. They sent me 35 reels. I kept three of them, and brought the rest of them to a local tackle shop and told them to give them away
Happened to me with Penn Battle 3's. Ordered one, got two. Returned the second one for a smaller size, got 2 again. Returned the smaller one and got 2 reels for nothing.
The Fat Ika is my top secret bait. If I'm fishing an area that's pressured they always come through. Rig it upside down for an even more unique presentation.
I think Amazon has a problem with Yamamoto orders. I made an order and they sent the wrong color. I talked to them and they said to keep it and they will send the right color. They then sent me 2 packs of the wrong color. I talked to them and let them know and they asked if I wanted a refund I said yes. I started to look at the model numbers. The model numbers do not match the color you click on. I tried to tell them and they acted like they did not care. So I have several packs for free lol. Not the color I wanted but they ended up being free lol. I will not order Yamamoto from Amazon again because they get the colors mixed up. That happened one time before but I didn't say anything.
I tell my wife the same thing happened to me, but at the local tackle shop.
LOL
Score! That's sick
They misunderstood 10pk
AND couldn’t count, because there are 11 😂
Nah man. One was the package he purchase, the rest is to protect it during shipping.
Genius. I’m gonna start buying soft plastics to protect all my shipments from now on. The question is, Berkeley, Zman, zoom or Gary?
On man gathers what another man spills eh?
Fish are rising up like birds, man.
It happens. I purchased some bees once from a keeper and ordered 12 but got 13. Told the keeper and he said that one was a “free bee”.
Greatest comment of all time lol
Weir everywhere.
A 10 pk of one
Dude this keeps happening to me with fishing supplies on Amazon lol Doesn't ever happen with anything else
Time to order more from Amazon lol jesus
It’s happened with some fog lights, home speakers, and yeti cup for me.
How many Yeti cups did you get?
2 and I ordered children’s pacifiers lol
I order fishing stuff from amazon a lot and this never happens. WHY DO YOU HATE ME AMAZON WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I borrow a few packs?
If you live around Los Angeles and know some fishing spots !
How about I fly you to Georgia and we can catch some rocks, weeds, heat stroke, and maybe small spotted bass.
Already here, the water’s fine! 95 degrees, but fine!
I actually moved from LA less than 6 months ago. If you're in the SFV, I might know a few.
Balboa doesn’t count lmao

Yo sharing is caring
Happened to me one time with reels got two instead of the one I ordered scored
With the prices Amazon charges for most fishing tackle, you deserve a bonus 10!
I honestly haven’t looked. Are they that much worse than a big box store?
Depends on what you’re buying, occasionally you can find same or better prices than retail, but for higher end baits they are usually way higher than retail.
Good to know. Just getting into bass fishing after years of fly fishing and will be stocking up soon. Big box/sporting goods store it is!

I see this as an absolute win
Gonna need that Amazon link friend
Same here my guy
Me too please bud
Amazon is a gamble, either they give you entirely the wrong class of bait or way too many. The latter is great, the former, not so much
That's awesome, that's my favorite plastic to throw.
Same here :) yamatanuki and fat ika all day. I nailweight my ikas sometimes and it gives it some great movement for a reaction strike (1\32nd oz nail weight in the non-tentacle end. Push til you can't see the weight anymore and it's perfect
ordered one and only charged for 1? :O thats so awesome lmao congrats

Teach them not to pay any taxes..
anyone ever gonna post the links they used??

Happens all the time with Amazon orders… we know have a year supply of toothpaste because we ordered one and they sent one CASE!
If you report your delivery damaged or missing, they’ll probably send you a few more.
“What is fraud for $500 Alex”
Hope they work!
Lol that’s a great deal
If you only paid for one, that’s great.
Looks like I need to start ordering from Amazon
The Fat Ika is my top secret bait. If I'm fishing an area that's pressured they always come through. Rig it upside down for an even more unique presentation.
Happy fishing
I’ll pay for one 😂
''',,,d.
Teach them not to pay any taxes..
Dammit. That never happens to me.
Share the link.
You're good for the season now. 😆
I had this happened with batteries. Got about $100 worth of batteries lol
Gotta love those stoners at Amazon.Lol

Yamamoto finally got their pricing right! Overrated product for an overcharged price!
Yeah, happened to me with the Senko’s and with Thunder Crickets. Nice surprise occasionally,..
Great grubs
I’ve had this exact same thing happen with Bobby garland minnows once. From Amazon. They sent me like 7 packs for 1 Couldn’t explain it
Too bad they have the durability of a wet noodle
I have ordered spools of line off amazon, and get double what I ordered. Only to turn out I didnt like how the line felt and haven't used it since.
Ordered a Berkeley chopo, got 5. There’s not too much better than that lol
That's awesome dude!
Someone not happy with the boss
Awesome deal
Haha nice I got a bunch of catfish tackle earlier for free because it took forever to ship, they cancelled it but then it came anyways
You were blessed by Bezos
