Welcome to our website! Over the next few months we will be adding new features to the site...so check back with us to see what we have done.

We have two locations to serve you.

The Ruskin store is 3,000 SQ Feet of top of the line tackle and equipment. We also carry live bait such as Shrimp, Pinfish, Greenbacks (scaled sardines), Creek Chubs and Fiddler crabs when in season. We designed the shop on the local fishermen's needs and requests.

The store is located between three key boat ramps. Simmons Park is the largest ramp and also provides camping and other recreations. Across the street of the store is a small boat ramp which access the canal to the Little Manatee River and a Few miles south is the Cockroach Bay boat ramps.
