Visit Our Digs!

We've had the shop open now for about six years, and the Internet part of the business for over ten!  How time flies!!!  I doubt you'll find many tackle stores with such a wide selection, and such depth...in such a, well, shall we say intimate environment.  If you are just getting acquainted with us, please stop by the shop as well as visit the website.  We make it a point to be competitive with our pricing, and our commitment to personal service is a source of pride you'll not find duplicated elsewhere. Pictured right, our shop's grand opening in 2001.

In 2007 we opened a new warehouse facility in Huntington Beach. From there we operate the internet portion of our business, shipping, receiving, offices and administration. What began as a little one-man-operation has grown, and we sincerely thank you. We now have 10 dedicated people employed with CharkBait, each loves to fish and each is a keeper in my book.

We run a limited number of charter trips each year.  We also sponsor a few private boater events through the season.  You'll catch information about these opportunities on the site or our shop.   (Pictured left, Tom, the Rube, Beth and Chark from the Fred Hall Show in Long Beach 2003)
