As the oldest business on the Port of Bandon Boardwalk, Bandon Bait & Tackle is a longtime local favorite and a great place to experience the character of Bandon’s working waterfront. Stop in and watch local fishermen launch their boats, and you might even hear a few stories about “the one that got away!”

Whether you’re a longtime local or visiting Bandon for the first time, the Bandon Bait crew is happy to help you prepare for a successful day on the water. Stop by for tackle, bait, gear, and local advice for fishing the ocean, bay, and nearby rivers. From salmon and steelhead to crab and halibut, they can help you find what you need for your next fishing or crabbing adventure.

Bandon Bait & Tackle offers fishing licenses, fishing and crabbing information, equipment rentals, and a wide selection of bait, tackle, and gear available for purchase. The crew can also share local knowledge about what’s biting and help you choose the right equipment for your trip.

Fresh Seafood & More

You don’t have to be fishing to stop by. Bandon Bait serves a variety of coastal favorites, including clam chowder, calamari, crab and shrimp cocktails, fish tacos, and some of the best smoked fish around.

Have your own fresh catch? The crew can freeze and package it for you to take home or cook it on the spot so you can enjoy it right on the waterfront.

A full espresso bar is also available, along with Italian sodas and a traditional kids’ menu, making it an easy stop for the whole family.

Whether you’re gearing up for a day on the water, looking for local fishing advice, grabbing a cup of coffee, or enjoying fresh seafood, Bandon Bait & Tackle is a true part of the Port of Bandon Boardwalk experience.
