Floating Tackle Shop on Florida Lakes
Bait, tackle, and fishing gear delivered directly to you—right on the water.
Run out of bait? Need a different lure? Instead of heading back to shore, the floating tackle shop is on the water with you, keeping you fishing when it matters most.
What Is the Floating Tackle Shop?
The Great Outdoors Shops floating tackle shop is a fully equipped pontoon boat designed to serve anglers directly on Florida lakes.
This isn’t a truck or a shoreline stand—this is a tackle shop on the water.
Pull up, grab what you need, and get right back to fishing.
Every Angler Has Been There
- The bite turns on—and you run out of bait
- You forgot something back at the ramp
- Your setup isn’t working and you need to switch
- The nearest tackle shop is too far to justify leaving
The floating tackle pontoon eliminates that problem completely.
How the Floating Tackle Shop Works
- We’re out on the lake during peak fishing hours
- You spot us or flag us down
- Pull up alongside the pontoon
- Grab what you need and keep fishing
No downtime. No wasted trips. Just more time on the water.
What to Expect When You Pull Up
When you approach the floating tackle shop, you’ll be able to quickly and easily grab what you need without interrupting your fishing day. Our setup is designed for fast service so you can get back to the action.
Expect a clean, organized selection of bait and tackle, straightforward pricing, and helpful recommendations based on what’s currently working on the lake. Whether you need to restock live bait, switch to a different lure, or get a quick spool of line, everything is set up for convenience.
Our goal is simple—get you what you need and get you back to fishing fast.
