Shady Oak Bait Shack

Our bait, tackle and outfitter store is but a mere 500 feet from the entrance of Ed Stone County Park. This park and it's boat ramps are located at the base of the Francis P. Whitehair bridge (SR-44 aka New York Avenue) so getting your live bait and tackle (especially wild shiners and grass shrimp) no longer comes with the risk of also being stressed-out by the time you jump on your boat. You can stop-by our bait shop on your way to the boat ramps or if you prefer, simply put-in at the park and when exiting the lagoon make an immediate left turn downstream to our docks. If you call ahead on your cell phone, we even provide valet dock-services of delivering your bait and tackle, ice and other supplies right to you on your boat so you never have to touch dry land again until you have caught your daily-limits! The park sports ample parking for both trucks and trailers, provides bathrooms and even oak-shaded picnic tables for those who prefer to remain on dry-land and fish from the seawall of the park.
