Is there a secret bait for sea bass, fluke and scup? Yes, and we're the only shop around that has it. Ask any of the commercial guys about sand fleas for sea bass and scup, nothing comes close and stays on the hook better. Our dyed squid strips are tough as nails and keep you fishing longer without putting a new bait on every drop. Only Newport Bait Co carry these baits. They're selling like hot cakes, so get down here and stock up. Their shelf life is unmatched, in the fridge or freezer. Come get some and get bent! 🎣

Want to drastically improve the quality of your catch? Meet "Ike Jime."

If you are just throwing fish on ice to suffocate, you are missing out on the best possible flavor and texture your catch has to offer.

When a fish struggles and suffocates, it produces lactic acid, cortisol, and adrenaline, which surge into the bloodstream and essentially contaminate the meat before you even clean it.

Better taste, Better texture, longer shelf-life in the fridge, it's a no brainer. Stop by the shop today and pick up a kit.
