It was the most pleasant car ride for us as they were busy reading and not fighting in the back seat! And they caught 7 little fish between them off the Lake Santa Fe boat ramp!

Love this small town bait shop!! I hear people always assume the best of the best big store shops…read morelike cabelas or bass pro shops are the go to places for fishing needs, and never take the time to check small time bait shops. I always get a good laugh from that. Because from my experiences in most small town bait shops nationwide & especially Hawthorne Bait, they offer so much priceless value. I've never felt pressured here to buy the crazy expensive rod or reel cause it's what's hot. They sell me what's most efficient to my fishing style. This alone seems simple but is the difference between experienced anglers like in Hawthorne compared to high school kids at cabelas just getting a pay check. Also, the atmosphere and overall attitude from employees here is always very welcoming when I stop in. I fish all over and they don't know me here. But when I stop in I'm treated like we've been fishing together forever!! Also if you take the time to talk local fishing with their employees here, you'll find their local expertise & knowledge is the most up to date around. I've always fished anywhere new I could find since I was young. I never felt judged or like an outsider coming here years back as it was mostly the older crowd. Even now I'm in my 30's I roughly get to this area of the state 1-3 times a year fishing. So they don't know me what so ever when I stop in here. The atmosphere is still the same, extremely welcoming every time. When I make it around this area when I'm fishing I make sure to stop in to catch up on the local fishing and to pickup gear/bait to support their shop even if I don't actually need anything. You know good places when you see them and I always do my best to support them when I can. I hope this review helps as it's an overall layout of my years stopping in here from an outsiders point of view. I don't mean I live the next town over. I lived in Michigan until July 2018 and have fished this area for years when traveling down here to Florida. Now I finally moved to Florida this year and able to explore this area more often. 100% complete outsider review!!

Stay away from the Perry location! Lisa is very sweet. It all goes downhill from there…read more In May I had a hydraulic leak and I brought my Tiger cat in to Green's outdoor in Perry to get the leak fixed and have it serviced. Everything seemed okay at the time. A few months later, I noticed another hydraulic leak. I brought it back in in February, just thinking it was weather related. When I picked it up, the mechanic told me that the previous mechanic left the extra seal on the hydraulic filter causing the leak. The previous mechanic was Greens outdoor in Perry. When I went to load the mower, it made a horrible grinding noise when I engaged the hydraulic motors. I went back inside and asked the mechanic to look at it. He noticed he had forgotten to put any hydraulic fluid back in after doing the service. He then drove the mower 50 yards or so at full speed across the parking lot to get fluid to fill it up. I am now concerned that he damaged the motors running them dry. In summary, they broke it in May, then charged me to fix it in Feb, then probably broke it again. They were also going to replace or sharpen the blades and it's obvious those have not even been touched. I probably paid for that too.
