They had a great selection of live bait. Very friendly staff, very knowledgeable, and all around just good people. Will be going back as usual, my go to bait shop on Galveston Island.
Always have the best shrimp. Very friendly and welcoming. And again, the biggest and most feisty/ healthy live shrimp I’ve found. Well worth the 1/2 mile detour
Nice place and nice people! Great bait shop!
I really do enjoy fat boys. It’s the only bait shop I visit when I’m down south. They are nice, helpful and usually have everything you need!
Wont let you buy half a dozen mullet or minnows. You pay for them upstairs and then go downstairs and get the bait. They dont tell you that the bait is abnormally smaller saint what it is supposed to be. Since I paid with my credit card I figured I wouldnt hassle with asking for a return. I would not recommend people going there
Save your time and money and just dont stop the bait shrimp where so small and I mean small and all the other bait was all frozen this place is garbage
Small bait shop, big in product, shrimp, croaker mullet, modish, crab, best on Tiki Island.
Me and my homeboy go here all the time fast service good sized shrimp going here tomorrow totally recommend !!!
Best place to stop. Lady st the counter always in good mood and wont hesitate to give you tips on fishing .. other reviews are from entitled pr*cks who expect too much out of a family owned BAIT SHOP . Come here get your bait and get fishing! I expected worse based on some these reviews but was pleasantly surprised with how nice they were and how accurate bait I got.
Really big shrimp, but I was fishing small fish that day. They kept biting shrimp in half.
Used to be good... now theyre horribly unfriendly. From chasing you out asking for mullet back that they accidently gave you extra of to being out of bait youre watching swimming infront of the baithouse all the while not allowing or attempting to net it themselves. Even offered to buy croaker if I can throw the net for mullet. Nope.EDIT;I distinctly remember you being out of mullet that day and worker saying they wont net and sell either so not much room to explain.Moreover; after having to walk all the way back to your mullet tank hand scoop out your employees mistake then being able to get my oxygen tank on them I lost 5 mullet by then. So no; you shorted me and I made that clear to the woman working that day.
Friendly folks, price is inline with others.
Always have live shrimp here. Fast and courtious too
Great salty bait shop! They have shrimp when most don’t!
Came here to buy some bait. The owner, I am assuming was very friendly and even gave us some free koozies. The guy that works below that gives the bait was also very friendly. We will be coming to this place when we need bait. 1 inconvenience was that they only accepted cash. Otherwise, pretty good place.
Great Prices for Live and Dead Shrimp and great location on Tiki Island.
Very knowledgeable!!Great customer service you could possibly get!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
If they have normal size shrimp they arent too bad but if they have a tank full of large shrimp they have no issue giving you 12 jumbo shrimp in a quart and if you say something the old gentleman there gets an attitude(all other employees are friendly). I understand at different times of the year the shrimp run different sizes but when they are large they do nothing to compensate like other bait shops. Ask to see the shrimp first before you pay!
Great customer service! The owner answered all of our questions and even helped me set up my fishing rod.
They were very nice and courteous. Prices were not too bad. 6 dollars a pound for dead bait...buy two pounds of shrimp and the third pound is free.
Awesome place almost always hit this place up they dont upcharge if the shrimp are big but if they aint they are not shorting you either almost always my first stop unless I still had frozen bait from the last trip
Came in today with my boyfriend to buy some bait, the cashier lady was very friendly and helpful, she was honest with us and didnt try and over sell to us she even gave us some fishing tips. The guy downstairs was very nice and friendly as well! I love this place now Im coming back for all my fishing needs!
All very good, nice place
May be our new future bait shop. The people there were pretty friendly.
Pretty sketchy. The guy working there (cant remember his name, sorry) was acting really weird and borderline harassing us before we came into the store. Just weird.
These guys are really cool, they have everything you need. Check out their crab trap, it is made by a professional crab trapper. The live shrimp always last long enough. They always give you a little more shrimp then other place. Most fill right to the line. They care enough to give you about an inch over the line to make sure you dont get cheated. Recommended.
The live shrimp was kinda expensive but the employee was in a good mood for being cold and so early in the morning.
I have been to most of the bait shops in Galveston. When the live shrimp are running small, Fat boys seems to always have medium to large ones. They are always kind and polite. I recommend you to stop by.
This place is a 2nd home. Always has live bait and they are awesome hardworking people. You now can pull up to a pier to pick up your bait now. You can make special orders for whatever your need is and they will get you set up from a pier to offshore. Get on over there to see them.
Good people always get my bait here, never a run around in and out in minutes....
Good friendly folks lots of help for out of towners.
Quick service and friendly staff.
Good people Great bait
I got some shrimps from them and they are just the worst ever
Excellent service this morningWill be coming back here for all my bait needs

Super Convenient with Bait, Ice, and Tackle. Plus, a bonus story or 2. Great local place with an interesting history.
Best place for bait!
Great customer service always smiling faces and great prices
Dont go here often. Place seems a little sketchy but we caught a lot of fish with their shrimp.
Nice people good bait. Very hard to dock with a boat. Not their fault just weird winds and gets super shallow.
Loved it. Very outgoing.
Yall are are all wrong my mimi and papa hone this bait shop so dont talk about my family again
Great hospitality and service.
Super friendly! Very helpful & knowledgeable 😍
Great place to go for fresh bait, average prices, good people, they fill your baitbucket with saltwater as well. Live shrimp
There was no one AT ALL, you have to call the phone number (left on the door) to get service in the shop, but they didnt pick up the phone so I got no service. Bait tanks are unattended, is that stuff just free? Because I should go back and get some if it is.
The guy works real hard, its now spring time. Some people just dont know how your winter hours work but thats the perks of know the staff and family of Fatboys. Keep up the good work AND SEVIRCE!! Never mind people who probably wanted SOMETHING FOR NOTHING!!!!
The people from the shop is super nice and has a lot of variety...will definitely come again. One of my favs👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Very disappointed on what they call a quart. Ill never stop there again !!!! Too many other bait camp to ever stop there again.
THEY ALWAYS HAVE BAIT !!!!!!!! VERY NICE PEOPLEDuring the winter have to call but thats fine, and the fishing pier is NOW down the street. Guess they moved the building lol
