The staff were nice. There's double price tags on some items, which is confusing. Otherwise the store was tidy and organized. There's a nice variety of fishing accessories. We'll stop back by next time we're in the area.

The gentleman working there absolutely made my day. I was camping and was having a rough morning and stopped in for bait and he was the most kind and helpful person. I'm not regularly in the area but if I ever am or I know anyone who is, I would 100% recommend stopping here for your bait and tackle needs!
