This is a pretty good spot to rent a rod and try saltwater fishing, super friendly staff and a nice spot overall. If I ever comeback I would ask for a smaller hook size because most of the fish out here have smaller mouths.

Wasn't open even though it was supposed to be. I hate businesses that do this.

Small shop with lots of tee shirts and small souvenirs. Super spot to rent a rod to try out some fishing on the pier. Or, rent a rake to search for sharks teeth on the beach. They have items to enhance your day at the Venice Pier.

Suits the needs of the pier. The guy was pretty nice

Got here at 06:15. Arrogant operator of the bait shop showed up at 07:10. Me and my daughter got up early for this on the one morning we could go fishing. Wouldn't open the shop till 07:40. Eat a satchel of Richard's.

Jesse Terrell

No actual experience here because I got to the pier at 6:15 wanting to get bait and tackle for a morning of fishing ended up pacing the puer for and hour and a half by the time I decided to leave at 8 someone was opening up completely ruined my planned morning of fishing on vacation

This is a very small place but it has a nice selection of tee shirts and fishermen buy bait here.
