The owner is known for being helpful and knowledgeable, providing customers with great advice on what works best in the area. Many reviewers have praised the owner's honesty and willingness to share local fishing spots. The shop's hours are a bit restrictive, with a late start time on Saturdays and Sundays.

On the other hand, many customers have praised the shop's good prices and the owner's willingness to throw in a freebie every now and then.

Overall, Riverland Bait & Tackle seems to be a great resource for fishing supplies and local knowledge, but customers may need to be patient with the owner's quirks and occasional lack of certain types of bait.
