  First off I'll say that I'm glad we have a local bait shop on this side of town. Most of the local bait shops are closer to the gulf. My only complaint is the bait (shrimp)they offer. They have basically 3 options, regular shrimp, select, and jumbo. When you pay for regular you end up getting what most would consider the shrimp from the nursery tank. I've literally bought 3 dozen shrimp and had about a dozen or more shrimp that were about an inch long. Their sign says that regular means they scoop the net into the bait tank and take whatever they scoop and don't hand pick anything. Only problem is when they scoop it they pick out the big ones and put them back, then they give you the small ones. They don't even follow their own policy. Select means they scoop the net and hand pick out the medium sized ones which are basically the regular ones at every other bait shop. I think they need to quit shafting people out and giving them baby shrimp when they pay for regular. At all other local bait shops, regular is exactly what it sounds like, medium sized shrimp, not babies.

  Great store, my only complaint is that they frequently run out of shrimp. However, I am grateful to be able to get live shrimp on the east side of town. Folks there are friendly and helpful.
