Best bait shop around Bonita Springs / FMB ... we hit quite a few of them in the area depending on where we are headed, but this place is a winner ... the crew is helpful and knowledgeable about the current fish report. Always take the time to talk through things and get you the tackle needed... 10/10 keep up the great work! Thanks to these guys for the fish in picture. You made a 7yr old's whole week.

I had an absolute great fishing trip with Captain Jemel. The weather the day before was really rainy and made the water very cloudy. He persevered and Captain Jemel put me on schools of trout and angel fish, a couple real nice redfish and snook, as well as school of grey snapper. We fished several spots and the action was good the entire time. I will definitely be booking another charter with Captain Jemel and bring my kids out this time. I know they will have a blast.
