"My favorite bait shop by Dunedin causeway! Friendly staff and very helpful. Live bait shrimp and fiddler crabs are lively and survive a whole day fishing with our small bubbler bucket. They have everything you'll need to go fishing and very fair prices!"

"Tyler hooked us up with some awesome pin fish and grunts for our offshore run this week. We hammered the gags - then released them - and hauled in red grouper, scamps, and an ARS limit. Cut bait is good. But fresh live bait is the best. Thanks Tyler!!"
