Incredibly friendly staff, a great atmosphere and loaded with great products. Tackle, apparel and more. One of my favorite shops in the country.
LOVE EFC
I ordered a bathing suit from EFC, and it didn’t fit right, I can’t find the return policy anywhere online, I’ve emailed and messaged them on Instagram weeks ago and haven’t gotten any response, but they can’t post on their story. Kinda annoying! Won’t buy from here again
Best Show in town!
Really great food. The people were were very knowledgeable and willing to share local knowledge with a friendly smile. EFC is definitely the place to be in Everglades City. Highly recommended.
Great spot and entrepreneur!! Breakfast great. Service even better
Great service. Great WiFi. Great Atmosphere.
Friendly people, yummy food, cool store. Worth the time to visit.
After a horrible encounter from across the street bait shop… the two ladies working last night were amazing, friendly and knew how to treat customers! 100% recommend this bait shop!
Everglades Fishing Company, EFC, is based in a convenience store in downtown Everglades City, Florida. There is a broad selection of fishing gear, clothing, food, and drinks at the EFC store. Over the years that I have been going to Everglades City, I have been impressed with the store products, the customer service when Arlene answers the phone, and the kindness that Jimmy Wheeler has shown me. After being impressed with the outstanding customer service, I booked a guided fishing trip with Jimmy. I wanted to learn more about navigating the waters around Everglades City, picking which artificial baits to use, and how to use some of those baits in the Everglades City area. I called to book the trip, discussed dates with an employee of EFC, and agreed on the date. A $900 check was sent to hold the date. Later an EFC employee called to confirm the date. My one-star review is based on what happened next. My friend and I were at the boat ramp at 7:30 to meet Jimmy. I waived at Jimmy from my truck. My boat was trailered behind the truck. When I walked up to Jimmy, the first thing he said was “I did not know you have a boat. I am not guiding people that bring their boat to this area.” My jaw was on the ground as he said this. My friend and I have used many fishing guides in the past, and this has never come up. My thought instantly was, why were not made aware of this rule when we booked, or when the trip was confirmed? This critical information was never shared, and it ruined our day and our trip. This information would have affected my decision, and saved the expenses associated with travel, food, lodging, time…and taking time off work. Frustration understates our feelings! Jimmy told me he made this rule because some customers were “marking” his best fishing spots and would then use those spots during their time in the Everglades City area. In Jimmy’s defense, he did offer to take us offshore fishing. My background is freshwater fishing. I have no knowledge of offshore
Bree is the most perfect person to ever give me bait
This family owned place is more than just a gas station. They treat everyone like family. Highly recommend this place!
Can’t say enough good things about Capt. Jimmy and his crew! A+++ service, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Huge selection of live and artificial baits that produce large numbers in the backcountry. Ms. Nellie’s Café is mouthwatering gourmet to say the least! All around my favorite spot in the entire state. Been a customer for around 3 years and will be for life. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Just moved back to Florida after twenty years in Colorado. Heard about EFC on YouTube. Just as advertised. Cool gear and top of the line fishing tackle. Got a couple of hats and some lures. Arlene and Glena treated me like I’d never left. I’m stopping by today for some more stuff. Top stop in Everglades City.
super freundlich, guter Kaffee und guter shop. 😊👍
Great store it has stone crabs and wines along with fishing gear and tshirts you name it a great place to shop for food drinks and gifts!!
Fishing with Captain Jimmy was a trip of a lifetime even for someone who has fished all over the world. He guided us deep into the backcountry bobbing and weaving through some really tight areas that opened up to a tarpon paradise. If you are a serious angler, this is the trip you ask him for. Countless tarpon were... hooked lol Snook and redfish caught and great conversation. The man knows what hes doing back there and I couldnt have asked for a better trip.
Fishing with Captain Jimmy Wheeler was a fantastic experience. The snook were just a bonus. Highly recommend.
Good customer service and you could find everything you need to go fishing. Like there beer
Nice bait shop
