re: What are your mom and pop bait/tackle/hunting shops in Louisiana? Eta- w/ list

Eschette's in houma. A true mom and pop place. He sells bait in the front and does fish/ deer cleaning in the back and then theres a little side room where she does dog cleaning. He has hours of operations on the door but he is usually there early in the morning cleaning fish so you can just ask and he'll open the shop for you.

Back in a certain era, crime was at an all time high here and the ole boy got tired of getting broken into. It's so much better now.

I really like going to coastal bait & tackle. Nice folks there.

I really like every bait shop I go to. At BSM Karen and Glen are always really nice to talk to. I use Bait Inc most often, and the lady there is very friendly as well.
