    We rented kayaks from Laine's Bait Shop today to paddle in Alviso Slough (Alviso Marina County Park.) If you like to support local businesses, with lots of history, colorful characters (owner has the coolest fish sandals and great taste in music!) and friendly, helpful service, look no further than Laine's! You can call ahead for kayak reservations or try your luck but just stopping by. Either way, they will transport the kayaks to the Marina and get you on your way in minutes. We had a beautiful day on the water at this overlooked local treasure, and Laine's is great business to work with. Highly recommend!

    Really genuine folks running this bait shop. Highly recommend stopping by for Baits And Tackle! & Great Prices!

    Bought fresh bait from them cause I hear they always stock grass shrimp. And by the way they are huge grass shrimps! Place is family owned and their house is attached to the business, so make sure to call if the door is closed. They also have info on local sturgeon that is caught in the sloughs on the same day and I believe host events or competitions to see who catches the biggest one! Hooked on this 10lb striper with the bait they supplied!

    Had a blast renting kayaks. We paddled through the boat launch ramp available in Alviso that provides a route through the salt marshes of Alviso slough out to the open waters of the San Francisco Bay. The current was a little strong so we didn't make it out that far but the boat launch ramp provides access for both motorized and non-motorized boats and for kayaks. Laines Baites is a small mom and pop business, the price is really cheap and the owners were really friendly and knowledgeable about the area as they regularly go out kayaking/fishing/etc In the marshes. I definitely will return to this location to go kayaking!

    My brother and I came in to the city for the weekend and found Laine's Baits to be the most convenient and enjoyable times! It was easy to find, pay, the service was great, and the water was great and the boats were easy to use!:) If you are looking for something active to do in the bay go there! They also have other things to do there as well!:) The owners are wonderful and knowledgeable and easy to talk to:) Go check them out! Thank you Kirsten and Kyle!

I scheduled online to complete the ppwk to pick up a firearm for Wednesday, April 29th @ 9:00am. I know that getting there early on the weekdays is the key to not having to wait in line. I got there about 9:02am. I told the gentleman, a middle-aged Latino man with a gray beard and mustache, at the gun counter that I had a 9:00am appointment. He told me that he wasn't ready and was still setting up and to join the queue by registering at the kiosk. I registered at the kiosk and got a text from Bass Pro at 9:35am that my 9:00am appointment had been cancelled. Now, I was number five in the queue and it was now 10:45am. I had to leave for another appointment. I was not a happy camper. Driving to my next appointment, I called for a manager. I told Marcos the situation and he would get back to me to investigate what transpired. He called and left a message. His message relayed that I didn't get there until 9:16am and that there were several customers ahead of me so my appointment could not be accepted. That was the most ridiculous thing I ever heard; someone was trying to cover their @ss or @asses. This will be my last purchase at Bass Pro stores and I will shop from an independent store where they take accountability and take care of their customers.

    Posting this as a cautionary tale for anyone buying shoes at Dick's Sporting Goods - Sunnyvale…read more This would have been a one star rating if not for Xavier in Footwear. Excellent service and attitude. I bought a pair of On Cloud shoes and within 5 days realized they were too big. The issue only showed up in real-world use: when walking downhill my foot slid forward into the toe box. That's not something you reliably catch by taking a few steps indoors. I went back to do a simple exchange (not a refund). The shoes were clean and in excellent condition. The only visible difference was very slight yellowing on the outsole contact pads -- noticeable under their bright store lighting but not dirty, or damaged. At first I was told the exchange would be fine. After further inspection, they reversed course and said the shoes were not "resaleable" due to wear. I spoke with multiple people (each initially identifying themselves as "the manager" before clarifying their role), and after a lot of back and forth the best options offered were: * 15% off a replacement pair, or * $60 store credit as a "no receipt return" value (they said this reflects the lowest recent selling price and excludes clearance). I ultimately took the $60 credit because my time is worth something and I needed the correct size. But the key takeaway is this: If you buy shoes here, assume you cannot test them outdoors -- even briefly -- without risking being denied an exchange. The 90-day return policy sounds generous, but in practice footwear appears to need to look completely unworn to qualify. I'm sharing this so others don't make the same assumption I did.

They do cash trade-ins day-of-sale unlike most gun shops in the area that only do consignment. They take the time to properly appraise what you bring in, make sure it's legal for sale in California and make sure all the required paperwork is filled out properly. Their prices are generally fair market value from what I've seen considering it's a cash-day-of trade-in. You'll be waiting for maybe an hour at most here to get paid for selling your stuff instead of the weeks that you would with a consignment sale or what passes for a private-party transaction in CA. Could you potentially get more selling privately or putting your stuff on consignment and waiting for it to move instead? Maybe, but their way of doing things avoids a lot of the multiple trips and waiting time that comes with doing either of those other two options instead in California. I would definitely recommend coming here if you have guns you need to sell urgently or if you would just rather not deal with selling on consignment or arranging a private-party sale yourself.

I was greeted as I entered the store. I did notice quite a few people waiting. I scanned the QR code, and was 7th in line. I observed other people waiting. Some looked annoyed. It seems like if you're not in line to do paperwork or pick up, it's easy to feel overlooked. I arrived at 12:20 and finished everything: DoJ paperwork, demo, and fingerprint/background payment at 1:09pm. Tabitha assisted me and also scheduled my pickup appointment. She is a gem and gave excellent service. I would recommend doing all firearm-related purchases, paperwork, or pick-ups during the workweek and before 4pm. Use your PTO. You earned it and deserve it. No excuses. Word on the street is that speedy service isn't available on the weekend, and Sunday is the worst day. You've been warned. I purchased my firearm online, completed the demo & paperwork on a Tuesday, and had a pick-up appointment 10 days later on a Friday at 1pm. I also received a text message on pick-up day reminding me to be on time. For appointments, they'll call your name; no need to scan the QR code. My name was called at 1:05, and I was walking out to my car with my firearm by 1:30pm. Shoutout to Edwin. He also provided superb customer service. I visited the store on Saturday evening around 6:30 to pick up a mag loader, and the gun counter was practically a ghost town. The sales associate assisting me at the front said that, hours earlier, roughly 100 people were waiting. Overall, my experience was splendid. I'll definitely be a frequent customer, and I live 48 miles away.

Their surfskis are super nice. They have V5, V8s, V10s. You can start all the way from beginner and make your way to the olympics on V10s. The boats are in brand new condition. The paddles are grat.
