Quirky Florida Bait Shop Humor

[snookmook]

Hey everyone--I've been looking for some new input for strange, quirky old time bait shop humor around the state of Florida.

I'm not sure if you guys remember this column I wrote about the skeleton at Jensens down on Captiva.

However, this is some of the stuff I'm looking for.

I found a bait shop in Sarasota that has a pet egret they allow to walk around the shop and actually cull out the floaters in the bait holding tank. They even have a name for it. LOL

That will be the subject of a future column.

If anybody knows any funny, quirky stories like that at your local bait and tackle shop. Please post up or let me know through an email.

I'm sure there's gotta be some other good ones out there.

Hey Mook,
I like the Yes and No shrimp sign in your article.
