Bait Shops

What are some good places around the Gulf Shores area to buy bait,
Shrimp, sand fleas and fiddler crabs maybe some minnows ?

thanks
Kevin

That'll be J&M Tackle---there's a link to them on the right hand side of this site. Best place. If anybody has bait, it'll be there.

you can also buy bait in the pier shop they have fiddlers, shrimp and i think bull minnows

J&M is a good Go-to place and Its good to support them. Also Moes by the bridge and on the pier. And theres a bait shop/fish market on the shell station on 50 Right before Gulf shores. And If your up in Fairhope Fisherman's discount only really sells shrimp and the price is high.

the shell station on corner of 59 and county rd 10 sells some good shrimp i think its like 3.36$ for a dozen which isnt that bad.

[/quote] Thats the one good price on shrimp, and that really nice bait girl that works there sometimes gave me like 2 dozen extra fiddlers one time ;)

Does the bait shop at the pier have any live shrimp right now?

yea i think its 450 a dozen tho :puke:

oh ok bud :wall:

[size=12pt]Hope they are better quality than the minnows they had last year, they were always tiny. Or at least the few times I bought from the pier bait shop.[/size]

For the next month and a half the demand for shrimp is several times greater than the supply.If you find a place that has them you better act quick if the weather is pretty.To give you an idea the last two mornings we started out with 3500 shrimp that took all night to catch and by 7am we were out.
