Customer Reviews

Really, the only tackle store in town. Ted is very knowledgeable on the local fishery and even loaned me a part off his boat when I was waiting on a replacement part. I love this place. Take time to introduce yourself and you'll find it hard to leave quickly.

Horrible shop. The owner was condescending and unhelpful. He refused a return even though there were no signs staying that returns are not accepted. Actually, the owner couldn't even grant a return - he said a lower level employee would have to do so. The man that helped us purchase the item could not even operate the register. I had to do it myself. Ridiculous. Oh, and the items were about 50% overpriced. We learned our lesson - may you all learn from our mistake.

Excellent selection of outdoor sporting gear; rods and reels, tackle, bait, firearms, ammunition, Archery equipment, hunting supplies, feed, and all your licensing needs for any sportsman in the great outdoors!! Propane tanks and refills also available and sometimes even firewood. They also have tanning beds for use in the back if you just want to work on your tan ??

Owner was rude both times I went in and very contrary. The store seemed more like an overpriced garage sale. Old stuff in sun bleached packaging.

Great store and very friendly, i don't know what "Dan Danson" is talking about in his inaccurate review...

The Dry Dock had all my fishing needs, including my live bait....one stop shop!

Great place for tackle and supplies.

If you need anything at all this place has it or will get it for you just ask for Ted or jen

Place is horrible don't waste your time this looking for anything here..

Just don't sell them something and expect them to pay for it.

Excellent place to go for stuff.

Never shop here again!

The standard of excellence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
