Awesome old school bait shop came down from philly to get a Delaware fishing license and was well taken care of no complaints

Great bait shop! Best around. Good supply and always has bait. Once in 2022 they sold out of bloodworms but they almost always have a steady supply of fresh/frozen baits plus the typical poles, reels, artificial baits. They are also very helpful and informative about fishing if you ask. Great people. Great store!

First of all, there's a giant stuffed great white shark in the showcase out along SR13. That alone was enough to get me to take a look. There is plenty of parking, the shop is modern well maintained and beautifully landscaped. The ropes and pilings and tall phragmite get you in the mood to fish. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They have all the most popular gear in stock, rather than the big box stores with an empty peg at every bait and hook that you really want. If I had one complaint, it's that it's a good forty miles from my house. We just don't have places like this up here in Delco, Pa. If you live and fish in this area, you're so lucky to have Captain Bones Bait and Tackle!

This place is great!!! Patty, Sean, and the crew, are very nice and knowledgeable, unlike some of the bigger sportsman stores in our area. This place has a little bit of everything, for hunters and fisherman a like. Stop by and check them out if you haven't yet.

This is my favorite bait shop. I adore the people who work here because they are friendly and happy to help you find what you're looking for. Prices are very fair. There are pictures of families and their catches all over the place. This is a family friendly place to find bait and tackle

Bought 2 more saltwater poles for the bluefish that are running. They had a store full of rigs, bait, and tackle for all types of fishing. If your looking to catch the big strippers or the trophy trout, Captain Bones has everything you need

Mako Shark in glass tank with Santa Clause hat on, can't miss it if travel down 13 thru Odessa. Get your fishing licences here, get fresh bait (different ones available at different times) add them on Facebook for updates of new items and available fresh baits!! Small from outside but definitely no empty space inside, wide selection and it's great to support local business. It's a Delaware Landmark!!
