Seven decades on the Tamiami Trail
We've been outfitting anglers and hunters in Venice since 1954. Most of the people behind the counter fish and hunt the same flats, woods, and ranges our customers do, so the advice you get here is the advice we'd give a friend.
Come in for frozen bait before a morning on the water, a reel rebuilt or a bow tuned in the shop, a license for the season, or a tent for the weekend. If it's not on the shelf, we'll usually order it.
