Bernie’s Bait & Tackle 3035 Emmons Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11235

"The guys were very helpful and courteous ,while helping me with my questions about my freshwater license and my purchase. I recommend them for all of your fishing needs. Peace"

"I've been here twice, and will keep returning. These guys are so helpful, each time telling me exactly what's been biting and how to fish for them. They won't try and sell you the whole store either, really honest in advising you what NOT to buy! As a beginner from out of town, the service this place provides is second to none. Most other places won't offer you spots, techniques, and info. If you're looking to catch a fish, do yourself a favor and stop in here first. The prices are also fantastic, and there's a lot of variety to choose from. I'd go out if my way to come back to this tackle shop."

"Had a great experience. Went to set my kid up with a new rod and reel, and I got first rate help. So happy to find and support a local establishment that's also an awesome place to shop."

"Went to Bernie's with my son to get him set up with a tackle box and some gear for fishing. Mike and Ryan were extremely helpful and so very patient while answering all of our questions. They explained what he would need for freshwater vs. salt water fishing as well as what to use for specific types of fish. They showed us how to tie and attach the lures and weights. Mike fixed one of my son's rods and even gave us some ties to hold our rods together, free of charge. They were so professional and knowledgeable. We left knowing much more about fishing and the equipment that is needed. We will certainly be returning to Bernie's for all our fishing gear. They have a large variety of rods, gear, tackle boxes and bait. The store is very organized and clean and the staff was exceptional. It was overall a wonderful experience. Bernie's is the place to go for all your fishing needs. Thank you!!"
