Surf Fishing Done Right
At Frank & Fran's Bait & Tackle, our goal is simple: help people make the most of their time in the Outer Banks. Since 1988, our iconic Hatteras Island store has supplied seasoned and upstart anglers with all the best fishing gear to land red drum, speckled trout, sea mullet, bluefish and other varieties of fish. OBX vacationers can also visit us, online or in-store, for essential beach supplies, a wide array of apparel, and cool merch to stay stocked for adventure.
The Best Beach Gear and Fishing Shop
Whether you're planning a trip to the Outer Banks or want to use our premium gear closer to home, we are a one-stop destination. Browse our surf fishing tackle catalog for rods, reels, lines, baits, hooks and other fishing supplies from leading brands. We have rod racks and beach carts to carry all of your gear as well as a great selection of fresh and frozen bait to target the different species.
Even if you don't have a line in the water, you can have a great day in the sun with our hard-sided coolers, sunscreen, bug repellent and plenty of other beach essentials. Adults can pick up fine cigars kept in prime condition with our walk-in humidor. Frank & Fran's also has outdoor apparel, drinkware, tackle bags, the best local info, and we're an official North Carolina vessel and fishing license center to make things easier.
