Superior Coast Outfitters
A bait, tackle and outdoor shop on the Wawa waterfront, well regarded for lively bait, fair prices and owners who share local fishing spots, with a fish and chip truck out front.
What visitors say
Superior Coast Outfitters is a fishing, hunting and outdoor store on the waterfront in Wawa, across from the Lions beachfront park. It has operated under previous names, and one visitor drove past a few times before spotting it, so look for the sign in the window.
Most reviewers praise the owners, who are described as friendly and generous with local knowledge. Several visitors were pointed toward fishing spots they would not have found otherwise, and one recent angler credited that advice with getting into Lake Superior kings. Bait gets consistent praise for being healthy and lively, and the selection of tackle, gear and outdoor clothing is described as broad for a small-town shop. Prices are called fair, and the store opens early, at 6 a.m.
It's a useful stop for anglers and hunters heading into the Algoma region, and travellers on the Lake Superior Circle Tour also stop in. A fish and chip truck outside is a highlight for many, with fresh Lake Superior whitefish and crispy fries.
Complaints are few. A couple of older reviews came expecting a souvenir or gift shop and found mainly fishing and hunting gear. Some reviews on this listing actually describe the waterfront park across the road rather than the store.
