Bait shops around Yonges Island/ Megget/ Hollywood

Subject says it all. I run a Carolina Skiff off my mom’s place on Yonges Island. I’m usually fishing with minnows and shrimp because I catch bait on the dock before I go out. I’d like to have a go with squid, bloodworms, etc but I just can’t find a good local place to buy bait. I’ve been visiting Yonges for 10 years and the one bait shop we had close, on Hwy 17, shuttered maybe 5 years ago (it’s the Low Country Grill now, good hamburgers, but no bait.)

Thanks for any help!!

I believe Ace Hardware at SC 165 and Hwy. 17 sell bait. Right across from Hardees.

If you ain’t hooked, you ain’t doing it right.

DueSouth, you are right, I dropped by this Saturday. They small tubs of earthworms and redworms, and mudminnows. I did discover the small hardware store in Hollywood SC sells redworms as well. Thanks for the help!
