Live bait is sold at 4 of the 6 stops: the two harbor stands on Deforest Loop, Beacon Bait Stand on Fulton Beach Road with croaker from Thursday to Sunday, and the weekend-only counter at Fulton Beach Marina. The town pier keeps a frozen-bait and tackle counter on the deck, and Terry's sells tackle but no bait.

No Fulton shop on this page sells licences. The nearest counters are Rockport Tackle Town, Salemi's Ace Hardware and the H-E-B in Rockport, and TPWD's own counter at Goose Island State Park just north; buying online from TPWD before you arrive is fastest. Every angler 17 or older needs a Texas fishing licence with the saltwater endorsement. TPWD licences

The harbor stands open at 5:30 a.m. and Beacon at 5 a.m. from Thursday to Sunday; Fulton Beach Marina's counter opens only on weekend mornings. The hours on each card are the shop's own published hours with the source named, and where a shop publishes none we say so rather than guess. Call before a dawn run.
Straight answers
Two stands on Deforest Loop at the harbor: Fulton Harbor Bait & Seafood opens at 5:30 a.m. with shrimp, mullet and blue crab, and Aransas Bay Bait Company keeps live shrimp. Beacon Bait Stand on Fulton Beach Road adds croaker and opens at 5 a.m. from Thursday to Sunday.
Terry's Seaworthy Marine Supply at the foot of Fulton Beach Road carries tackle and marine supplies but no bait or licences; the nearest licence counters are the Rockport shops and TPWD's own counter at Goose Island State Park, or buy online from TPWD before you arrive.
Every bait and tackle shop on this coast is listed here free. No paid placement: Shops are ordered alphabetically within each town, nothing else. The facts on each card come from your own listing, site or Facebook page, and each card carries the date we checked them.
