- MMmalAug 25, 20251.0only in town for a week with family used the rental to go out for a day of fishing near cocoa beach. this is 1 or 2 places I went & I ended up buying bait here. wasnt received kindly by either shop. the point: bait was tiny like salad shrimp, it seemed refrozen & was already falling apart even frozen. the clam parts were not strips at all huge chunks of frozen clam that would come apart until defrosted. in nj im used to more friendly knowledgeable bait shops with salted baits, actual strips, loads of variety frozen & live. the prices could’ve been better also for unusable bait. ruined the fishing trip to a degree. had to forage for bait once there

- EJErin JohnsonJul 15, 20255.0Fantastic last stop for a last minute fishing trip. He has everything inside here. Live bait and all the tackle, snacks and drinks as well. Forgot your pole? He has those too. Crab traps and kayaks. And my favorite find, I should have bought two... fresh strawberry muffins. Make sure you stop in before you hit the river!!!
