We rented a fishing boat and it was great. The owners gave us great suggestions of the good fishing spots and where to see dolphins. The shop was nice too! Would definitely do it again!

I stopped in for bait, tackle, and advice. I was hesitant after reading the bad review from 2008 but after talking to the lady (sorry, I forgot her name) behind the counter, I found that she and her husband had just bought the business within the last year. I had a question she could not answer so she picked up... More

Just stopped in to check rates and the people there were very helpful with all kinds of information on where to fish and what to catch. The individual helping me helped me pick out the proper gear to get us started crabbing and enjoying our stay at tybee.

But, after a great day of fishing and playing with dolphins, we ended up 45 min. late to turn in the boat, which was our fault and disrespectful. Amy, the wife of the owner,... More

My husband and I enjoy fishing and their ad stated they have live bait and that the boat has a live bait well. They did have a power outage that explained no live bait but the well... More

My name is Ray Golden, and I own Tybee Island Bait & Tackle, along with my wife, Amy. When this group came into our store, my wife told me they were going to be a problem because we could not meet the needs of the lady apparently in charge. I was busy cleaning the rental boat in question when she... More
