True North Fishing Outfitters Inc

Went in for some minnows and left with a ton of new knowledge on icefishing and a smile on my face. Not only does the owner know his stuff but he sure is a quality guy. Had a great experience and will be going there a ton. I recommend highly!

Always an amazing experience going into Skippers tackle. Every time I go into the store I gain more and more knowledge to make myself a better angler! Skipper is always looking to help out fellow fisherman and fisherwomen in any way he can and is more than capable of outfitting anyone for a more than successful day on the water fishing for a variety of freshwater fish species. The knowledge he shares is priceless and you cannot get knowledge like it anywhere else!

Everything was going fine until we were checking out, and the owner refused to allow my native friends to get their tax exemptions on their purchases. This place is no better than when Skipper owned it. With that being said, the regulars we fish with will no longer be supporting this business.The response of the owner saying they dont get it unless its a native retailer just shows his lack of knowledge . Everywhere else we have gone does it. Cabelas has no problem doing it, so thats where we will be going from now on.

I went to Barrie for the first time with my 10 years old son who suffers with autism and two naphews who are around the same age. My son wanted me to put him on some fish by any means ..... and I had no idea where to fish ..... Failing to catch any could have resulted in a very bad meltdown in the public! Since I had never fished in Barrie, I decided to look up for local tackle shops where I could buy some minnows and gain some local knowledge. The nearest shop that Google suggested was Skippers Tackle Box, and I can't tell you how happy I was after talking to the young guy who I met at the counter, couldn't catch his name but YOU were awesome to me and my kids. He took his time to explain to me the spots where kids can potentially have a better chance to catch some fish. He even marked few location on Google Maps in my phone!! I had a great day with kids and they ended up catching quite a few perch. They were also running 50% off of most stuff so I picked up a few jigs.

Very helpful, Skipper is an awesome Canadian, old school Canadians are what still keeps this country great. A great selection of Rods, reels and Tackle, he went beyond traditional customer service, offered amazing advice, you can't get that off of Amazon, I support local businesses, especially in these interesting times. Skipper has about 50 years of guide and hunting experience, he is a Master in his field. Thank you Skipper, my daughter and I had an excellent day thanks to you, God Bless.

Amazing products and prices, the owner is helpful and very friendly. Brought my kids in and he was patient and kind to them. Will definitely be making this our tackle and bait shop, from now on.

Amazing owner. Would go out of his way to help the customer (waited for us even after hours to help us out)!Huge respect, and thank you very much!

We went in to get dew worms and ended up leaving with a huge upgrade on my set up.amazing work here. The worker told me where and when to fish showed me how my rod was set up was wrong. He even set up our 3 rods for us huge help will definitely come again

Can't remember a more wholesome experience in my life than visiting this fine store in Barrie, ON.The tackle lasted, and the memories too. Put Frank's gear, and I'm sure you'll soon have on (hard) on!-Cheers Frank. Thank you also to Master Heavy G" for the intro..idk why he enjoys that moniker so much...lol. See you!!"

Went Into the store today right before closing, to purchase a spud bar. The owner was extremely helpful, gave me a ton of tips about ice fishing in general and made sure that all my questions were answered. I will definitely be back, you don’t get this type of service in many of the fishing shops I’ve been inside.
