Straight from our shelves and tanks — here's a taste of what's in the shop.
Packed mostly with shrimp, with crabs and pinfish mixed in depending on the batch — bait from our own livewells, put back to work.

What's biting around Punta Rassa, San Carlos Bay and the causeway.
Snook, redfish and trout action around the bay changes with the tides and the bait supply — and we hear it first-hand from the boats coming back in.
The best way to get the current report — and what's in our tanks right now — is to call us at (630) 200-8066. You can also stop by the counter or follow @shackbaits.

ShackBaits is owned and run by Sean Anderson. The idea behind the shack was simple: this stretch of Punta Rassa needed a bait shop that gets it right — tanks full of lively bait, doors open before the boats leave, and a straight answer when you ask what's biting.
We opened in November 2025 on Harbour Point Drive, right next to the Bimini Bait Shack restaurant — the last stop before the Sanibel Causeway.
What we care about most is quality service that's friendly and welcoming. Whether you're a captain running charters every morning or it's your first time wetting a line, you'll get the same greeting, the same honest advice, and the same good bait. No attitude, no upsell — just a shop that wants you to catch fish.
Come by, grab your bait and ice, and tell us how you did. That's the whole point of the place.
