Thread: Where to get bait late??

So we'll be arriving at our condo around 7 PM this Friday. Is there anywhere in town that I can get bait that late? I'd like to sit on the dock and cast a few in Old River that night if I can. If not, does anyone have an artificial lure suggestions? Thanks!

Try rouse's, if u want fresh

pokenfish is right on !
They don't , but often have fresh shrimp at a good price .
They have saved the day for me several times .
Good luck .

I'll have to remember that and come in on 59 instead of the toll road. Thanks guys!

I'm told that Gulf Shores Marina will sell live shrimp and is open until 9pm seasonally but is 20 minutes at least from Gulf Shores out Ft. Morgan Road.. I think Captain Fraziers on 59 at County Road 10 in Foley is open until 6pm. You probably need to call and find out for sure. Live shrimp is a great choice under the lights around docks. There are times I would pay a premium for a few dozen if someone were open late.

What about towards OB or PK? I'm staying just east of the pass.

If you get off the toll road at Rosco road turn left that will take you to Cotton creek turn right and your on 59 in a coulpe of miles just before the airport and close to rouse's.

J&M Tackle and another shop in Orange Beach but they close at 5pm.

You could always throw the cast net around public boat ramps/west beach pass walls. Prob too cold this time of year, but when it's warm there is a nice amount of finger mullet to be had.
