Dutchman's Creek at the airport, Wildlife Bait and Tackle on Fish Factory Road, and Oak Island Bait and Tackle on Oak Island have served me well. Boaters' World is also present.

Support your local tackle shops. They don't just have "sales associates" that are proficient at scanning purchase items. The local tackle shops have knowlege and expertise that you won't find anywhere else.

Oak Island Bait and Tackle seems to have the best prices and stock.

Wildlife Bait and Tackle has a guide service, associated restaurant, and is one of only four official weigh stations at Southport and Oak Island. If you put in at Wildlife Boat Ramp, you have to drive past it. Jimmy Price is a wealth of local fishing knowlege.

Dutchman's Creek is conveniently located and has a good assortment if fishing equipment.

Which one is closest to downtown Southport (Southport Marina), I don't want to drive all the way over to Oak Island.
