I will be at Fort Wilderness Campground for 7 weeks off and on and my last day fishing a fisherman told me to use Shiners. I need all the tackle also. I have never fished Shiners. Is there a Bait & Tackle shop near the campground. It seems if you go any ware you have to use RT 4 .

It's a long drive, but you can buy native shiners at Owen's Tackle in Eustis.  They have shiners when no one else does.

Disneys fort wilderness? You’re kind of in between the spots I know of that would sell shiners, but the marina at Toho is probably 30 minutes away and sells them. Bitter’s is probably 45 minutes away and will definitely have them along with all the tackle you could ever want.

 

If you go to Bitter’s don’t buy any of their jitter craws to punch with, use on beds, or my favorite, use as a jig trailer. Your thumb will hurt from all the bass you’ll have to unhook afterwards.

 

A lot of Ace hardwares in central Florida, or Farm & Feeds will sell shiners and tackle as well but it’s not a guarantee that they will have any in stock or that the particular branch carry bait.

THIS X2...

Ace Hardware  and Tractor Supply? I would have never thought about that.

Is the jig trailer a plastic bait? I don't know what they are.

Bitter's is one of the best independent bass tackle shops in Florida.   If they don't have it, you don't need it. ?

I live in Melbourne and drive to Bitters even though there is a Bass Pro not 10 minutes away from my house. Bitters is 68 miles !!!!!!!

cant help, but i would be lying if i said i didnt just google the Glitter Craw.  i just (tried) poked the bait monkey in both eyes with my two fingers.  but he did block me with the straight palm in between.

 

d**n!!

Looking at my beat up Bitter's hat. I miss that place.

I miss the big bags of baits and good line selection.
