Fisherman’s Marine & Outdoor

The manager at this store (Robert Campbell) is extremely rude/​disrespectful and treats his employees and customers with complete disrespect. His ego leads him to put his hands on customers, I wouldn’t recommend stepping foot into any of these stores. They don’t value customers, because they have a big selection doesn’t mean they have the right to disrespect customers!

Huge selections on fishing gears, when it comes to a customer service on turns or exchanges it’s terrible, they would resist to exchange or return. Looks like they don’t care much about customers satisfactions.

While I live on the Columbia River, I had never been salmon fishing and when my daughter-​in-​law, Sarah said she wanted to give it a go, I had no idea where to start. We met at Fisherman’s Marine and Outdoor at Delta Park and talked to the salesperson at the Fishing counter. We told him where she would be fishing and he knew exactly what we needed. He got her a pole, a reel, filled the reel with the right line, rigged up the «wobbler» and weights, recommended a net and we went out the door ready to start fishing. I mean he tied every knot, showed Sarah the right way to do it, told her how to deploy the jig, everything! I could not have been more pleased with the service!

I shop here because the location is convenient, but for fishing gear, there’s nothing exceptional about Fisherman’s Marine. I can get most of the same things for lower prices somewhere else.
I do like the tent sales, which they have a few times throughout the year. I’ve gotten some killer deals at the tent sales!
The selection of crabbing accessories is good. They even have crawdad traps.
The bait selection is good. For live bait there are night crawlers and sand shrimp. For preserved bait they have all the standard stuff, herring, cured shrimp, sardines, etc.
My friends get ammo here, because apparently it’s one of the few places around here that consistently carries 9 mm ammo. They also have on-​site CCW classes and certification.
The employees are friendly and knowledgeable.

I’ve been shopping at FM since they had a much smaller store on Columbia. Maybe 25 years.
I just had a real problem with a product. Technically there was nothing wrong with it, it just wasn’t serving me well.
They really had no obligation to help me out at all, but they really took care of me.
I’ll be a customer for another 25 years.
Thanks guys.

Very impressed with the customer service here. We got my father-​in-​law a boat BBQ for Father’s Day and the regulator stopped working. We were just looking for a replacement regulator to repair it but they exchanged the whole unit for a new one for us. No hassle, quick and pleasant experience! Thanks ladies and gentlemen for such great service!

Like most sporting goods stores. This is another store with lots and lots of items but nothing really for Archery. I did however find some cheap shorter Easton arrows for $ 2.95 each. I bought 6 and they work fine at 12 yards or less. I have yet to see how they do at 20 yards. You can not change the tips and I doubt they have the weight to hunt with. Although, I did punch through a thin board I thought I could use as a back stop.
The store itself is hard to find and its right next to another sporting goods store but it’s worth checking out. If these Easton arrows work at 20 yards, I’ll be back for another dozen of them!

I was in the Oregon City store looking for ammo. The employee behind the counter asked me «what do you want?» Really? That’s customer service? I went into the fishing section next and apparently they are having trouble stocking shelves because whole sections were empty. I live in Canby and it’s convenient to go to fishermans but I am not going to support them anymore. There are plenty of other stores to choose from I suggest you try another!

Pretty mediocre experience. I saw they had some bore snake cleaners on sale so I thought I’d drive out and check them out. The employee at the gun counter was less then enthusiastic and was condescending when I asked some basic questions. I’m glad it’s not just me that got walked away from when the employee felt like they were done «helping.» I won’t be returning anytime soon.

They have a very large selection of everything outdoors. I used to stop by there from time to time looking for ammo, or other shooting accessories. Their ammo prices are usually high but if no one else has what you’re looking for then it’s either buy from them or don’t go shooting. They have good prices of other stuff though. The last time I was there, I had a cart full of targets, a rifle case and a few odds and ends. I went to look for some .357 magnum but all the had was some .38 Special. That’s ok for target shooting but not at $ 27 a box! I skipped the ammo. Then I noticed multiple signs saying to check your gun with customer service/​no open carry allowed even with a concealed carry permit. I figured that’s a load of crap considering they sell a boat load of handguns, they just don’t want you advertising it I suppose. Well, I walked out without buying any of their products. I won’t support a store that doesn’t support the customer.

I’ve been going here for years, customer service isn’t that great a lot of the guys are very opinionated depending on what your looking for if its not what they feel is rite they usually walk away or try to talk you into something you don’t want. There prices are usually on the higher side of average but the store is very close to home so a lot of time I have no choice. They do have most of what outdoors men need but most the time I dread walking into the place.

AWESOME! I almost know this review is going to be filtered for being so positive, but this is hands down one of the best fishing and general outdoor places I have been to. The fishing tackle is mind blowing. I never have to worry about something I want not being available, just being too hard to find in the aisles and aisles of accessories. Everything is also relatively inexpensive, and items are rarely out of stock. I especially love the way the sinkers are organized so as to make quick selection easy. Aside from fishing, their hunting supplies, boating supplies, outdoor necessities, and crabbing/​clamming equipment is awesome. If I had a $ 2000 VISA gift card, I would blow it here in the first five minutes. FANTASTIC STORE.

Love the selection here! prices are better than the famous big box store and service for repairing my broken tip on my fishing rod was immediate!

Pretty much the only gear fishing store you would need. For anything from tuna to trout. The hunting gear could be better Cableas has much more variety and quality. I am very happy to have this store in my neighbor hood and they are local!

A definite must-​visit for visiting fisherman who want to see the gear and tackle that’s designed for and used in our famous Northwest fisheries (as opposed to some national chains who just sell the same bass gear regardless of location.)
For us locals, it’s a much appreciated warehouse that’s happy to serve our addiction.

Sorry to see the Columbia Blvd store pack up and close but this is an acceptable alternative and perhaps the only edifice w/​living, breathing humans as both staff and customers in this otherwise superfluous, Zombie-​baiting strip mall o’ death, down in Delta Park. Bonus: they also carry Traeger grill pellets and accessories, and many makes and brands of over the top hot sauces. This is NOT your grand-daddy’s bait-​n-​tackle shoppe, fa’ sho!

Very knowledgable staff, they are always willing to talk fishing and share info on techniques and what is working currently. Excellent selection of fishing gear and they run frequent sales.

I am new to fishing. Like don’t even know what the stick and twirly thing are called officially. I have gone other places where this lack of knowledge has lead to vultures trying to sell me unnecessary things or on the flip-​side completely ignore me. Then I came to Fisherman’s…these guys are SUPER nice, very knowledgeable (think local guys who love fishing… not some high school student with a summer job) and they have great prices!
Their customer service should be commended. They listen to me trying to explain what the hell I need and answer all my questions super extensively WITH A SMILE. They have been honest and told me when I didn’t need to spend extra money (the guy showed me two poles and I asked the difference between the two and he said «about 30 bucks» so I got the cheaper one). Anyhoo I love this local store and think everyone should go and buy stuff from it.

I wish this store was not all the way up in North Portland, right along the migratory path of Washingtonians. It makes getting there after work an impossibility. Damn you I-​5! When I have a spare moment during the non-​commute hours, however, I keep a running list of provisions that necessitate heading up to Fisherman’s Marine.
First, this place is a Carhartt superstore. Their selection of both work and casual clothes is extensive. Their outdoor clothing gear, in general, is fantastic. I got a bunch of super-​thick cushy socks that kept me warm and toasty all winter. I feel the warm fuzzies for any store that helps maintain warm and toasty toes.
I have been in a few times now and have had very pleasant and informative discussions with John at the gun counter. They have quite a selection of rifles and shotguns, and a surprising number of handguns for a hunting/​fishing store. I think the handgun collection at this location is much more extensive than that of their Oregon City location.
I got to play with a Mossberg JIC here, which was described to me as, «A solution to a problem none of us knew we had.» Ha! After giving it some consideration, I decided it was much more practical to get something with a stock rather than a simple pistol grip, despite any possible visions I may have had of post apocalyptic, bad ass Danni. Okay, truthfully I got an interchangeable stock and pistol grip. Screw practical.
Thank you, Fisherman’s Marine & Outdoor! «I’ll be back.»

I would have given them 1 star but the only reason I em a 2 was because this is the only place I was able to find ammunition for my 9 mm. Aside from that, the customer service was lousy. I was in there with 10 min left before closing (8pm close time) when I had to run into store (which took me but 3 minutes) only to be mad dogged and scowled upon on way out by cashier. I was very upset with treatment but like I said, I was just glad they had what I wanted. So if you don’t mind being scowled at before closing time then this is the spot for you.
