We would like to start off by thanking everyone who supported us during our first week open. There was an outpouring of love and support and we are truly grateful.

We believe timing is everything and was our main driving priority for opening when we did; be ready in time for the fishing tournaments. We successfully completed that goal and couldn’t have done it without the support and assistance we received.

After reflecting on our first week, we have identified this is not the right time for this adventure and have decided to step away from this moving forward. We are not able to provide you with the consistent bait shop you deserve and we don’t believe that is fair. We do not believe this is a goodbye, but more of a “when we see you again.”

We don’t want anyone to feel bad for us. The experiences and relationships built the last 10 weeks will last a lifetime and we are truly grateful for that.

Until next time,

Butcher Bait and Tackle

📣 We want to start off by thanking everyone for their love and support during week 1. We appreciate the anglers who trusted us with their live bait needs yesterday and hope we brought them some luck also.

🦐 We will be closing the shrimp tanks today for maintenance and hope to be back up and running soon. We still have frozen bait, artificial soft bait, artificial hard lures, and an assortment of fishing tackle.

Hours are flexible and so are we! We are on call 24/7 and will meet anyone at the shop for any of their needs, even after hours.
