Bob's Bait & Tackle

Similar experience to previous reviewers- Customer Service is a big "0". The worst part is when you tell the Owner, he gets defensive and attacks you. Just read some of the responses to reviews. Bottom line- if you have a choice to use another shop use it and stay away for your own piece of mind.

Great bait and tackle shop. Super helpful and friendly. Provide great bait and advice for fishing. We were visiting from New York and really appreciated their friendly welcoming atmosphere.Prices were perfect for the vacation angler to the expert. Great shop keep up the friendly local shop feel

Had the best time on a fishing tour of the sound. Captain Matt was awesome. Will definitely be doing this again!

Nicest bait and tackle on OBX! Wonderful selection of gear. Great place for kids, staff incredibly helpful and nice. Whether a pro or your first time fishing or crabbing, this is the place. Ample parking! And you can crab on pier behind shop. Kids had a blast!

Tried booking a make up charter through Bob's for the week of 4th of July with my dad. Called 2.5 weeks in advance and was told we were first on the list but never received a call so I called them back and they were unable to set up a charter the two days we requested. However, they mentioned they could set one up later in the week but with only 5 people on a 6 man boat it would be a little more. I agreed, but the day before the charter, I didnt get a call again so I called them. They had no knowledge of the planned charter and said it's not happening. I should have booked directly with the Oregon inlet charters or the headboats.

Great spot, awesome employees, and great off season hours. Tons of options in stock as well. Prices were super reasonable!

See John or Robert at Bobs Bait & Tackle, Great Advice, Great Bait. I have been going in this shop for 28 years and great folks to work with. Thanks for the great service all these years guys!

I've traveled and fished all over the US and I have never heard of a bait shop that opens after 7am. Prices are generally reasonable for this area and the stock is typical for a tourist area. It's clean inside. I've only met 2 people that work here. One guy was a bit of a D-Bag the other guy was nice. I've also used them to charter fishing trips and they have been good with that. Captain Matt was one of the better inshore captains but I don't know if he works here anymore which is a shame. I'm giving them 2.5 stars because if you're a bait and tackle shop be open at bait and tackle hours otherwise it would be a 3-3.5 star.

If you don't have time to go to a better shop, ok, but if you are a vacationer, go elsewhere. Least friendly fishing store operator on OBX. Guys like this are why Amazon and Bass Pro put fishing shops out of business. The only reason to go to a small shop is for service and local knowledge. You won't get it here.

Nice staff, tons of fishing gear, t-shirts, hats. A pink shark lurks the side of the road in front of the shop and is a local landmark in Duck. Highly recommend that you stop in and take a look!
