Founded in 1953, The Thousand Island Bait Store has been a family-owned and operated destination for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts for more than 70 years. In 2021, the Jeffers family proudly took over ownership, continuing the store’s long-standing tradition as a trusted staple along the St. Lawrence River.

As a true one-stop shop, we offer the North Country’s largest selection of fishing lures and tackle for targeting panfish, bass, northern pike, walleye, and muskie. We are also a leading supplier of live bait, including night crawlers, shiners, suckers, crayfish, and leeches.

Beyond fishing, our inventory includes apparel, boating accessories, camping gear, and pet supplies to help you make the most of your time outdoors. We also provide convenient essentials such as ice, propane, gasoline, and an on-site ATM.

Whether you're a local angler, seasonal visitor, or first-time explorer of the Thousand Islands, we're committed to providing the products, service, and local knowledge you need for a successful day on the water.
