Skyway Bait Shop — Local services in Gulfport

Outstanding knowledge can be obtained if you are polite and courteous to the staff! The restrooms are actually well maintained as the staff is very proactive in keeping the trash cans emptied and the pier clear of debris. The bait shop has live bait available right on the pier! You also have access to detailed info on all of the local species caught as soon as you walk in! Tackle and even rental fishing rods are available for a fair fee. The price for a pass is 4.00 for the vehicle and 4.00 for each occupant. The pier is open 24/7 and there are lights evenly placed so you can tie your knots in the dead of night! I highly recommend this as you can drive on and park, and begin to fish! Nightly tide movements bring in Blue Crabs from Tampa Bay and you will find many people with headlamps catching their limit with extended pole nets 15'+ long. Legal Black and Gag Grouper can be caught right here with either deep diving lures or live baitfish. Almost anything you can catch in the Gulf of Mexico can be caught within walking distance of your vehicle. If you enjoy pier fishing, give this...

Then to tell me that you will show me the camera tape so i could hear what he asked you!!!! Come on buddy I know 9.9 times out of ten the cameras don't pic up audio unless you have hidden mics in the shop which I highly doubt. Secondly you knew darn well I wouldn't sit there and watch the tape because it wasnt that serious. Dont bs your customers and dont call there kids liars because you...

Was visiting Florida from out of town. The boyfriends and I bought a pass to go on the fishing pier so we could take pictures of the skybridge. We went into the bait shop only for a brief moment. It's very basic in there but it serves its purpose. There's no public restroom so that is a downside. That's why we originally went in there I had to use the restroom and the boyfriend was going to look around in the store. We talked to the owner for a brief moment, he was polite and to-the-point. I felt safe and secure here. We looked at the fishing poles in the back for quite some time they have some nice equipment. Nothing too expensive but like I say everything in there...
