Stopped in here yesterday to just look around, but ended up buying some things just because the process are really reasonable and they have great stock! The guys who helped me are very knowledgeable about equipment and offered several options in different price ranges. Ill be back tomorrow morning for some live bait! GO FISH!

These guys have been helping us catch fish for a couple years now. Really helpful.

I have been here several times and this place never disappoints me. A large selection to choose from whether its bait, tackle, or gear of any kind. The staff are more than willing to help you if you have any questions. Their spooling prices are some of the best around per yard.I honestly dont have one bad thing to say its all positive to me. Also, another great feature is that they support a lot of local people and groups that make products to be sold at their location.

We had a problem with out trolling motor while on vacation in Destin. We contacted Rhodan and were referred to Emerald Coast for repairs. We took the motor in and repairs were made within 24 hours. We were very pleased with the service received. We also enjoyed the tackle shop. Super nice. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Great find...thx

Clean and well organized store. Great selection. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

New location, really nicely done. Pretty much all of your water sports needs in one location.

Expensive but a very clean and organized store. Excellent customer service. Not fishy smelling or dingy at all. Was real impressed with it and will be back.

I am a local and went in to the store for live shrimp 3 days ago and man I was impressed.this stores layout is awesome amd so big and open. Their are so many great products and the guys inside were all laid back and super chill. After walking around a but I told my son well I know where Ill be spending all my money now. Hahaha I love the store and will be coming back time and time again. I also would totally work here as well seeing as I love to fish and fish almost everyday and have worked on fishing charters in destin.

Great staff and a pretty good select of any type of fishing on the gulf coast.

They moved into the new location and have really made it something special. Can see this business doing very well. Customer service when we came in today for a “guest” rod for the boat was outstanding. Sold me on the associate recommendation of a 7ft St Croix. My favorite spot for gear and bait.

Great service...took the time to talk is thru the best way to get us out the inlet, local fishing tips, etc. Went out of our way to go back the next 2 days

Friendly and great place to get that gear you need, plus they honor military.

Awesome to have a NICE bait & tackle store right in Fort Walton Beach! Big selection of tackle, rods, reels, and clothing. Great guys who eat and breathe fishing. No more trips to Destin for me!

Yo yooooooo they moved to a bigger spot in the same plaza!! Horrrayyy!They are good people, have a huge amount of selection, and they don’t make you feel like a dummy whenever you have a question. Go check them out and give them your business.America!

Always have some form of live bait. Also, the staff is very knowledgeable about any types of fishing. Overall great people and they have good stock of anything you need from lures to frozen bait

Best tackle shop on the ultimate coast!

Great selection of fishing gear and live bait. Glad I found them!

One of the best, locally owned bait and tackle shops that I shop at. The people at this shop are really nice. And they always have items that other shops dont carry and items I have not been able to find at other shops. Good quality tackle and gear. And they have fair prices on everything. I definitely recommend this place for your fishing gear or live bait!

Fully stocked and ready to help the most casual angler or seasoned fisherman. Wide selection of saltwater and freshwater gear plus live bait.

Great staff! They carry quality tackle and great brands. Everything needed to be successful on the Choctawhatchee Bay can be found at this store. Best alternative to corporate places like Bass Pro.

Good for bait but Id go somewhere else for any big ticket items. Got burned on their new return/exchange policy. Now Im stuck with a beach cart that doesnt work well on the beach. Tested it out once on the sand and wanted to exchange it for a much more expensive one. Even though the cart was as good as new, the owner didnt allow an exchange.

Found our sand flea rake

Top notch service and competitive prices. Great team!

For such a small business they have everything you could imagine and not just one or two things they have good stock and always have great service

Lots of great info for fisherman that are not from the area. Made up some baits for us on the spot. Friendly!

Great place to pickup live bait and touch base with locals about what’s going on in the area. Great to have a place like this in FWB so you don’t have to fight traffic to get to HH or BPS.Keep doing good work, gentlemen?

Super happy that theres a closer bait and tackle store to my house. Friendly and easy going staff.

Great service, huge supply of tackle for our local fisheries.

I have a Rhodan Marine Trolling Motor. I took my boat offshore on 23 may 2020 for a fun day of fishing. Launched the boat and turned the machine on, had three green lights within a minute so were good to go! Get out the Destin pass, deploy the motor and it went green, red and orange lights. The unit didnt work all day. I called Rhodan Marine first thing on Tuesday and my part was sent to Emerald Coast Bait and Tackle. Within 24 hours I had my parts, trolling motor repaired by a professional staff! Thank you Josh Calhoun.

Actually open at their posted time. Nice clean shop. All the essential gear. Friendly service

If you need any tackle or advice stop by. They dont try to sell you stuff that wont work. They are extremely knowledgeable and will make your day

Small shop but it does have some live baits and good tackle and gears to choose from.

Great customer service, the owner works there and loves osprey/florida fishing reels and very knowledgeable about most popular trending gear. Helped me to make a decision on my purchase of daiwa bg 3500 reel/ falcon rod combo that they had in stock. Several rod and reels available on display. They didnt overprice either. staff is always polite and helpful. I go with my daughter here. Always great live bait.Very neat and clean store with lots of tackle, supplies and fishing apparel too. best of all...their hours of business is consistent even thru the covid 19 pandemic. 6 to 6 everyday! Wow! Because fishing is everyday!

Super helpful to me and friendly. He gave me a lot of fishing tips to help me out. They sell live bait

Exactly what we needed. A new shop with a new feel. Everything you need with awesome tackle choices and live bait!

They are very helpful And they help you find what you need just Good employees

Great little tackle store. Just opened a short while ago. Has live and frozen bait and a good selection of tackle appropriate for the area. The people that work in there know their stuff...owned by a couple of Destin Charter boat captains, they KNOW what ya need for the local waters. And THE major plus for them is you DO NOT have to drive to Destin!!!

Great little tackle store open early great selection of everything you need for the area. Live bait is always lively!!!!!

Always good sized shrimp, friendly staff, and lots of inventory for your fishing needs.

Best new tackle shop in Fort Walton for all your fishing needs. Dont forget your live bait while your there. Locally owned an operated by fishermen for fishermen.

Nice guys and lots of stuff!

Polite and engaging staff, talked fishing while buying bait.

Great addition to FWB. This is definitely the beat tackle shop between Navarre and Destin. A good selection of inshore, offshore and fly tackle. If your into fly tying, they have you covered. They also carry a variety of frozen bait and Barracuda cast nets. Their offshore selection features Tailwalker custom offshore lures. Check them out.

Decent selection. Glad to see another bait store option on this side if destin. A little over priced. But look like they have a great live bait selection.The tailwalker mini is what I was referring to as over priced. As a consumer I can get them from tailwalker for good bit less than you have them. But your price may be right in line with local prices. That I dont know.
