This place sort of reminds me like an old school barbershop - everyone is laughing and joking around and they always ALWAYS put me on new spots or have the time to talk shop. i, personally, would gladly pay more at a shop if the service was on point and it always felt like home. Fred, Peter, and Turtle are awesome and i will not use another shop.i even branded my own gear to help rep the shop.just like a barbershop - when you find YOUR spot, you stay loyal for years.

This is the best bait and tackle shop in the whole SWFL Florida . I’ve been to many places and nothing can compare to this place. They have a wide variety of products including sunglasses, many rods,reels, lures, and bait. Plus the team always leads me in the right direction and I can always count on them to help me with any questions I have . This is the place that got me into fishing and I’m glad I found a home for all my fishing needs . I wanna give a shout-out to Fred for always being extra friendly and helpful too.

I choosed to give local bussiness my money instead of going to big name stores. to make my story short. bought 2 pairs of Costa sunglasses from them, over $200 each about a week ago. I noticed a little chip in the frame in one if them, came to the store and they told me even if im within 30ndays of purchase they wont accept a return or exchange

The owner was extremely nice to my son and I. Gave us a very fair deal on two new rod / reels. Gave us some advice about fishing the area. Also he was an eagle scout and he supports scouting. Great place to spend local for your fishing needs.

Review №24

They always have bait!! Shiners shrimp and pen fish. Or if your a artificial kinda fisherman or fisher-woman they have plenty of name brand lures in there as well. They also have a few rods and reels in there if you find yourself short handed on the way to the ramp but convince has its price. Tight lines everyone.

Review №25

Awesome place, very helpful. Very nice selection of equipment and bait. They have almost everything that you may need to go fishing to include gear and kayaks. Very friendly staff that will be quick to help and give advice. My go to place when I need bait and equipment

So I just went to this bait store and I was confused because I just started finishing a few days ago and the guy helped me pick the perfect bait for bass! I had the biggest smile on my face and he even gave me a surprise gift and it was a bait package for free! I totally recommend this place over any other bait store.

This brand new shop has everything you need to fish inshore, offshore, and freshwater. This is the only shop in the area that carries fly tying materials and hand tied flies designed for targeting all local fish species. The friendly owners offer a wealth of local knowledge, supplemented by seminars by the best guides in southwest Florida. Plus, you cant beat the convenience- right on the way to pine island and the best fishing around!

The best shop with the most local knowledge in the area. Mike will steer you in the right direction for exactly what you need to catch fish in the area. He will always set you up with the right equipment for the right type of fishing and will never sell you something you dont need. Big Boys is the go to shop!

I am a local Offshore & Inshore Capt. I have been doing business with Mike Shelton the owner for many years. Big Boys Bait & Tackle is a new bait shop with the newest products on the market. Mike and his guys can help you with shrimp and live bait for inshore fishing to offshore advice and even fly fishing. Stop by and check out Big Boys Bait & Tackle.
