BAIT

Bait for Surf Fishing

Putting the right bait in the right place at the right time can make all the difference. The team at Frank & Fran's has decades of experience fishing on and around Hatteras Island, and we use that knowledge to select effective artificial lures, fresh bait and frozen bait for local and visiting anglers.

Proven. Not Promised.

The products we carry have been tested by our staff or recommended by customers who know they work. Use these surf fishing baits to target more fish from Cape Point, the beaches of Hatteras Island or the waters of the Pamlico Sound.

Artificial Surf Fishing Baits

We stock artificial surf fishing baits from leading brands such as Berkley, Z-Man, Carr Specialty Baits and Vudu. Shop plastic shrimp, crabs, Fishbites strips and other products designed to provide the appearance, action and scent of natural bait.

Frank & Fran's offers online ordering for artificial fishing bait, making it easy to stock up before your next trip or have products shipped nationwide. We also carry cast nets, minnow traps, seine nets and other tools for anglers who prefer to catch their own live bait.

Fresh and Frozen Fishing Bait

We also carry fresh and frozen bait for fishing from the surf, sound and nearby freshwater areas. Fresh and frozen bait is available for in-store purchase only, and selection may vary with the season, weather and local availability.

Available options may include nightcrawlers, sand fleas, chicken necks, bloodworms and other baits commonly used by Outer Banks anglers. Visit our Avon tackle shop to see what is currently in stock and ask our team for bait recommendations. We are open seven days a week.
