Many years ago, my uncle was a manager of a Big 5 store in Southern California. In recent times,…read moreBig 5 has sort of been on a downslope in it's corporate life-cycle-- they used to be the go-to store for all sorts of active wear, sporting goods, athletic equipment and specialty gear for hunting and fishing. Now, they're sort of like a shoe store that sells guns. But I enjoy visiting Big 5 stores that are outside of Southern California. You see, Big 5 franchises tend to be small enough and far enough away from their Corporate Masters that local stores have some say in what merchandise lands on the shelves. Therefore, when I visit a place like the Crescent City location, I can find fishing gear that is local to the river steelhead and ocean lingcod scene that I can't find in my local Pasadena store (well, before it burned down, at least...) In the summer months, this is also a good place to find a cheapie float tube to goof around in the Smith or the Klamath... or if I forgot to pack fishing line for those epic redtail perch bites out on the sandy stretches south of town... this place is my jam. Sure, they also sell nylon workout bands and compression underwear... but let's keep this outdoorsy and just end it right there.

Kayak Trinidad was an excellent experience! They did not have any tours scheduled for the day we…read morewanted to go, but we stopped in the shop "just in case", and they accommodated our request. It was me and my husband's 25th anniversary, so we were so excited! Ben and Scott were excellent guides! They answered our 100's of questions and were so fun! Highly recommend their 3 hour wildlife tour! Thank you!

This is a first class kayaking outfitter. Just got off the water from a kayak tour. All of their…read moregear is top-notch and obviously well cared for. Also, they give you exactly what is needed to paddle in Trinidad so you remain warm & comfy. I was so impressed with our guides, Nick and Alex, and their local knowledge of seabirds, marine mammals, and intertidal species. Whales are cool, but there are also a lot of other really cool animals & birds in Trinidad Bay. And these guides know just where to take you. They were not afraid to take us into a little rougher waters, when we asked them to, likely because they are so skilled and experienced. I also really appreciated all of the paddling guidance they provided making sure I was using my core/legs more than my arms. I was with a very large group and the guides handled everything with such class and professionalism. It is a step above any outfitter I've ever paddled with. We are really lucky to have them in Trinidad to help us access some of the most fantastic coastline along the California coast. They also do a great job interpreting the California Coastal National Monument! All of those rocks and islands are part of a statewide national monument that runs from the Oregon border south to Mexico! Wow! What a treasure. Thank you Kayak Trinidad for providing A+++ service where it is needed and appreciated!
