Emerald Coast Bait and Tackle 218 Eglin Parkway Northeast, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32547

"Emerald Coast Bait Shop is a great place in Ft Walton Bch to shop for anything you need for fishing. The employees are very helpful! They have a lot of merchandise!"

"Had a great experience there thanks to Calvin. He was informative and helpful, and very enthusiastic and patient. I’ll be coming back here. Huge shoutout to Thomas as well. Stopped in recently and he was polite, informative, and helpful. Best bait shop around!"

"Down for the week with work and stopped in to ask questions. Hayden took the time to answer all my questions and point us in the right directions. I’m an over thinker with lots of questions and this young man was extremely patient. Product selection is awesome and prices are fair. This is a go to shop."

"Best tackle shop in the panhandle. I live in Pensacola and drive over and hour just to shop here. The staff is very friendly and always down to talk fishing. Not rude or on there phones all the time like some other places I have been. They stock everything I need for inshore fishing. The amount of tackle they keep and the quality brands they keep is a big deal if you are serious about fishing.I also know they sell kayaks and some accessories as well. I will be buying my next old town from them at the end of the year. Couldn’t recommend more. Great people."

"Very helpful, didn’t judge a new Fort Walton pier fisherman. They helped me select local hot tackle, and yes it was what the locals were using. I saw a few of the same faces from the pier yesterday morning work in the store. Inshore or offshore fishing is expensive so you already know. I would recommend this place to anyone that wanting to wet a hook!!!!!! I will return. Your friend Mike Daley!!!!"
