Living near the water you would think there would be more options to purchase live bait, however,…read morethere isn't. A quick Google search brings up minimal businesses in the North Mobile area to purchase live bait. In fact, there was one store and they don't carry live shrimp. Shirley's is a quick drive down to the causeway and will always have what you need. The only disadvantage is the causeway traffic during the summer It doesn't hurt the staff is friendly too!

Dicks seemed to be the smaller sports items like clothing and shoes, but also big items, and the Field and Stream side had kayaks, tents, and other big items, but also clothing, so it was a bit confusing. In any case, we found the fishing net we needed and mosied around trying to decide if we needed more stuff to stack in our garage. Turns out we did need more socks. The prices in both stores were high, but hey, when you need socks, you need socks. Amazon and Walmart had everything I needed at a much lower price, but I felt like throwing money away. The store (s) were/was very clean but too big. We only saw two people working, and both were in the giant stores trying to check out a long line of folks. Ideally, you would only shop here for specialty items that you cannot find elsewhere. If that is your situation by all means go here, no one will bother you while you shop,

Joe in the shoe department always gets me the right shoe on the first try, and takes into account my plantar fasciitis and other foot issues I have had over the years. The guys in the firearms section are very knowledgeable, are seasoned experienced shooters themselves, and are willing to talk through my needs to find me the right gun in the price range I choose. I get to handle the guns, if I want to try out the grip, sights, or the trigger. They have provided me with more than a few shotguns, rifles, and pistols over the years, and all have been good choices at competitive prices. I highly recommend McCoy's. I have never been treated poorly by anyone there. The owner is highly regarded by the employees as well.

Fitting the only positive reviews of this place are from 2011 and 2013. My wife and I used to shop…read morehere often. We loved it, but no more. You'd think a store staffed primarily by women would understand when a customer is indecisive, especially a woman running on no sleep because of a teething toddler, but instead of leaving their post behind the counter - all 5 employees, by the way - they stood there until she entered the dressing room and then called the police. When she emerged from the fitting room, there he was, plain clothes, badge front and center, making it as uncomfortable for her to browse as possible. Even after she was ready, or shamed into, making her purchase (which I'm returning this morning) the cop still circled close by, like a vulture. DESPITE this, she bought her shirt and pullover and didn't tell me any of this until late last night. Back to me toddler for a moment, two days ago (we've been here 3 times in 3 days) our child was running around, not hurting anything or making a mess but apparently that's just too much for such a stoic, reserved store as Alabama Outdoors. The feeling of contempt was palpable so, parents, don't bring your children. That game of Peek-a-boo behind the rack of pullovers is uncalled for per the rules of this subpar store. Spend your money at more deserving places like Red Beard's or go across the Bay to Coastal Outfitters, where at least if you can't make up your mind, they'll offer to help instead of having a cop harass you until you leave. It's inexcusable. We've shopped there since they opened, stopping only after our daughter was born because we were focused on more important things. This Christmas marks the first time since she was born that we really went out as a family, excited to see her reaction to the decorations and people in general. Yesterday, everyone we saw at the Eastern Shore Center was polite and happy. Our daughter was waving and talking to anyone that would acknowledge her, something Alabama Outdoors seemed pained to do, so it's not us in the wrong in this scenario. It's their complete failure at being polite. Maybe we're just not their target audience...but who is? 20-something yuppies who's only true outdoor excursions involve drinking on patios? Asking because, again, we've never been treated so poorly at Red Beard's or Coastal. This is the only reason I'm returning the shoes I bought and the stuff she bought - a complete disregard for customer service. Remember this: you work there. We shop there. You exist because we allow you to exist but unless you learn how to properly treat customers you will be nothing but a showroom for Amazon.

Took the boys to shop (they fish, not me) and visited a few shops during the morning.

The employees didn't seem to care we were there or offer to help as other stores did so while this may be local they don't provide that local friendly service.

Overall this is a great spot for taking care of your bait and tackle needs for your fishing adventures.
