Point Defiance Marina Tackle Shop

I stopped by this Tackle Shop and Boat House several times and didn't know what it was all about. I didn't know what they offered. I stopped by with a friend earlier today and learned that they rent out boats and lease the storage if you have your boat.

The tackle shop has all the fishing gear and baits for saltwater fishing. It also has a good amount of food and snacks.

Behind the boat house, there’s a dock you can fish from. There's also a public restroom attached to the building.

Neat little saltwater tackle shop right on the water! Wife and I are freshwater anglers but could find plenty in here that we could take back to some lakes. They have several rod/reel combos as well as standalone reels, hard bait, soft bait, live bait, some custom lure supplies, hooks, squid jigs, nets, spinners – just about everything you'll need on the water.

They also sell snacks, drinks, souvenirs (the fishing themed shirts are awesome and I may have to come back just for a couple of them), fishing guides, Tacoma history guides, and more! We spent so much time looking at tackle that there's probably a ton of stuff we missed.

The back door of the shop leads outside where I think you can fish from the dock. They have fishing reports and info on whiteboards by the front door; they also write down the biggest catches of the day/month.

Good prices for bait. It's a great place to fish and crab. And boat rentals

Quite amazing in the area

People are friendly and very knowledgeable.

They have that last minute thing you need

Best staff ever!!!

Cool souvenir, bait, tackle, convenience store. This is where you pay for your boat gas.

Hardly any fishing bait, and supplies. Went to Walmart instead
