The Biggest Tackle Shop in SoCal - The LongFin

Shop Hop Episode 2 - The LongFin
In this video, I feature The Longfin, which is one of the biggest family-owned fishing Tackle Shops around. I also ask for bait recommendations and a place to fish. I then purchase the baits, go to the place they recommended and try to catch fish with what I got from the shop.
I was helped by Frank who is very knowledgeable in both freshwater and saltwater fishing. Plus he has been working at this tackle shop for over 30 years. He immediately suggested that I use reaction baits - such as topwater and jerkbait lures - and then to also go to Irvine Lake to catch largemouth bass.
With only one rod and reel combo and a hand full of lures, I had to work real hard to catch something.
It was a great experience overall and if you're ever in Orange County California or the surrounding cities, please stop by The LongFin. Thank you Frank and Eric for helping me out with this video!

Bummer, I called in to say thank you to Frank and was told that he doesn’t work there anymore

[@fishing_life_ca]

True story! Very friendly and always ready to help management and salesmen.

[@rohrsoutdoors]

Frank! (Blue sweater)- good to see you! One of the most talented fishermen I know.

[@Redzephyr23]

Haha bro way to dig it out….i have to admit though, you had me rolling when you mentioned about catching an attitude from struggling through all that brush and then the next thing you show is when you got snagged and jammed up the real. Lol all in all though, I appreciate the video brother

[@freshandsaltyjohnny]

Seeing this video made me realize how much more i appreciate my area is to fish.

[@teefishes]

It’s rad that we can go chase largies in the morning and catch saltwater bass in the afternoon. We do have a special fishery

[@freshandsaltyjohnny]

@@teefishes what I meant is how much people you see vs me having entire lakes to myself. Not needing to ask for permission to fish nearby or anything. Also having to pay to be able to fish lol everywhere is free around here in northern Cali. Total night and day difference. I use to live in so cal and it doesn't compare remotely to the fisheries we have. Shasta lake for example I catch salmon trout panfish and bass all within a day in the same lake. Just yesterday alone I caught 45 fish in 2 hours lol. Crappie, smallmouth, spotted bass, largemouth.

[@teefishes]

@@freshandsaltyjohnny I’ll be moving up north or to Texas next year just because I want access to new and more water. It used to be good but there isn’t enough freshwater to accommodate the increase in fishing popularity.

[@jorgelopez143]

This store is awesome the guys there are friendly . Can’t complain definitely recommend coming here . I’m new to fishing and these guys gave me all the 411. With out pushing expensive gear on you .

I was hoping for more coverage of the tackle store. I wanted to see the Shimano display and the grundens display. I guess I’ll have to drive up there. Hit up Squidco or fisherman’s tackle shop in San Diego
