    I've known the owners, for six years now. I've purchased ten fishing rod combo's over that time. I do get bait, lures, and other fishing tackle from time to time. I even had fishing rod repair done by Ricks wife Carol. I will continue to get my fishing supplies here as long as they are in business. I stopped in to see how they are doing after hurricane Ian, and walked out with a newly purchased rod. I'm happy to see they are still open.

    So I knew my universe was lining up on my trip because I went into this guy's shop and told him that I feel like when I'm in Florida that I'm catching fish not fishing. And then he revealed this shirt to me that I'm currently wearing. Thank you!

    Nice lively shrimp, they have a great selection of fresh or frozen bait. All the tackle you will need, and rods and reels to keep you fishing. Very friendly folks who want you to be successful.

    Been going here for almost two years now. Already have had a very positive visit. Recently, they have expanded and doubled if not more their floor space. They now have a lot more fishing supplies to go with their bait

  • 5/5 Brendon G. 7 months ago on Google
    These guys are great! We are in Ft Meyers for a baseball tournament and wanted to do some fishing. They were super friendly and super helpful. We got a nice inexpensive rod and some bait and few little things.Told my son and I where we should go fish and they were right. This is now my go to shop any time I’m in Ft Myers. Thanks for helping my son and I make some great memories!

    Outstanding bait and tackle shop. The guys know their stuff and go the extra mile to make sure you not only have the right tackle, but you know where to go to be successful. We drive thirty minutes each way to get their live shrimp…by far the freshest and biggest I’ve found in the area. Big plus is that they are a TFO rod dealer with a deep selection of rods and actions. If you have not fished with a TFO rod you’re missing out!
