A Working Week at Sweeney’s

This week at Sweeney’s has been one of those necessary, behind-the-scenes weeks. We’ve been focused on improving how the shop flows, moving things around so the gear people ask about most is easier to see and easier to access.

It’s not flashy work, but it’s the kind that makes the day-to-day experience better - whether you’re coming in to grab bait, check out reels, or talk strategy at the counter.

What we worked on this week:

Moved the reel display from an enclosed room onto the main floor
Relocated live bait so it’s easier to find and quicker to grab
Reorganized the crab section for better visibility and access

If you stopped by this week, thanks for bearing with us as we reset a few things. Regular shop rhythm, fishing conversations, and gear updates continue as usual.

🎣 SecondCast-Have Used Gear? Give It a SecondCast.

If you’ve got reels, rods, or other fishing gear sitting at home that aren’t getting fished, bring them in. Our SecondCast program is how quality gear gets a second life - and how anglers turn unused equipment into cash or store credit.

We’re always looking for clean, well-maintained reels. If your gear checks out, we’ll make you an offer. No listings, no shipping, no waiting - just a straight forward, in-shop evaluation by people who actually fish this stuff.

SecondCast keeps good gear on the water, helps other anglers upgrade affordably, and puts value back in your pocket.

Live Bait Update

We’re stocked up on fresh live bait and ready for the current river and lake conditions.

Currently Available:

Live Minnows

Pile Worms

Minnows have been producing well for Napa River stripers and Lake Berryessa trout and catfish, while pile worms continue to be a go-to option for bank fishing after the recent rains.

Availability can change quickly, so if you’re planning a trip, swing by early or give us a call to make sure we’ve got exactly what you need.

As always,

We truly appreciate every time you walk through our doors. Thank you for choosing to spend your hard-earned dollars with us. It's a privilege to be of service.
