Welcome To
Benicia Bait & Tackle

Benicia Bait & Tackle has been at it's present location since 1972, and has been owned and operated by Curtis Hayes and Pam Royal since 2000.

History:

We began our adventure out of frustration that there were very few bait shops that catered to the weekend warriors. None of the shops in our area carried any tackle, and the bait was always mediocre. In 1999, we set up a mini bait & tackle shop in our garage, experimenting on how to keep our bait in the best condition. After a year we found the perfect shop to move into, and purchased a run down "bait shop" and turned it back into a full fledged Bait & Tackle store.

Products:

We specialize in Sturgeon, Striper, Salmon, Halibut and Tuna. Since 2005 we have increased our inventory to include an extensive Largemouth Bass and Kokanee selection. We have all your tackle needs, with a wide variety of saltwater and freshwater rods and reels. Our in house repairs are done onsite by Todd Ushijima, who has specialized in custom rod building for over 20 years. Our Bait selection is unsurpassed in the North Bay, with the reputation of the best quality of live and frozen baits. Bait reservations are welcome, especially during derbys'.

Fishing Access in Benicia:

There are 2 easy access boat launches. The Public Launch is free and is located on West 9th Street. The Benicia Marina Launch costs $5.00 and is located on East 5th Street. There are 2 public piers to fish on without a license and numerous shoreline fishing areas that produce a variety of species at different times of the year. Come in and talk, we'll send you to the best places and recommend what baits to use.

Hours:

We are open 7 days a week with extended hours during the summer.
Monday - Thursday 6:00 am to 6:00 pm
Friday - Sunday 5:30 am to 6:00 pm

Customer Service:

We offer hands on instruction for the novice fishermen, and specialized information for the seasoned anglers. If you're looking for something we don't have in stock, we do special orders weekly. There are several Charter Boats that we have direct contact with, from the 6-pack to the larger fleet boats. You can come in or call for information on what's "biting" the best.

So come in and visit our shop, we'll be glad to take care of all of your fishing needs.
