Been living 5 miles from this place for the last 15 years. Never knew it existed. Went there cause I saw they were selling shiners and boy was I amazed. I would put their freshwater and saltwater bait selection up against Academy/ Bass Pro and Cabelas. Unlike the big box stores they have all the local area brands, which are hard to find

A great little place, has been all kind of things in the last 20 years, tanning bed saloon, outdoor furniture and pool store, plant nursery, and now outdoor store, all while having basically the same name. I too was amazed at the selection of fishing supplies they have, I hope they advertise a little more to let everyone know what they are doing now

Shhh you're giving away the secret!! But really, they have an amazing selection of bait and tackle. You can also buy dbombs in 25 pack which is a huge way to save some money.

yeah man, they have an awesome selection of fresh and saltwater baits. They switched to mostly outdoor stuff last year. You can get all the local brands that you won't find at Academy or the big box stores. The front of the store still has a bunch of crafts and candle shite that they're still trying to sell off, so you have to walk through that to get to the good stuff. So don't worry when you walk in, you came to the right spot.

Here's the address. LINK

I didn't know they sold shiners. I've been getting mine at that little house off Siegen, behind Jason's Deli.

first thing I thought when I walked in, then you walk through door and it’s like Graceland

Plenty of the local inshore favorites without the walleye baits. Well worth the trip.

I’m sure I will lol. It’s hard for me to not go into an outdoor store with a variety of fishing supplies, especially with saltwater supplies, and not buy something. I can’t wait to check this place out though. I hate going all the way to academy to buy soft plastics for saltwater. This place should be very convenient for me now

I found out about this place 2 months ago. It has the best tackle selection I've seen in a store. It puts Cabelas and Academy to shame. Its everything you want and not much you don't.

I highly recommend salt or fresh water fisherman to check it out. ( No offshore tackle though)

It's my go-to fishing store when I'm in the area. They sell soft plastics that nobody else does.
