Spring 2025 Lott Bros

If you ask any seasoned angler in town where to get the best bait—or just the best fishing advice—you’ll often hear the same answer: Lott Bros custom rods, bait and tackle!  And now the Village Business Advisory Board has noticed Lott Bros too!

That's why they recently selected Lott Bros as "Business of the Season" for Spring under the Board's new program to recognize businesses that excel in North Palm Beach.

For more than 60 years, Lott Bros has been a cast-iron fixture in the community, in the same location since 1962. Walking through the door is like stepping back in time. The shelves are stacked with tackle boxes, lures, bait buckets and assorted items that reflect decades of local retail expertise. 

However, it's the decades of welcoming service keeps generations of fishing enthusiasts coming back. Big box stores might sell you gear, but they won’t tell you where the fish are biting. Co-owner George Lott says that’s the charm of Lott Bros—it's more than a bait shop. It’s where kids learn to tie their first fishing knot, where weekend warriors swap stories about “the one that got away,” and where customers leave with more than just supplies—they leave with confidence.  

The other co-owner is John Lott, George's brother. George, John and their knowledgeable staff don’t just sell gear; they teach people how to use it. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-timer, you’ll get expert advice on everything from the best lures for bass to the right spot to drop a line on a lazy weekend morning.

But the shop’s impact goes beyond fishing. The Lott brothers coached youth baseball for decades, helping kids develop not just their swings but their sense of teamwork and discipline. They also mentor young anglers, ensuring that the next generation knows both the joy of fishing and the importance of respecting the water.  

The store’s back dock has been the launching point for countless successful fishing trips from Lott Bros Marina. And many anglers have returned smiling to show off a prize catch, thanks to Lott Bros gear and great advice.  

Through the years, some things have changed, and the customers now span multiple generations—but Lott Bros commitment to customer service and community pride remains as strong as ever. In an age of online retailers and impersonal chain stores, Lott Bros is a rare community treasure where people are treated like neighbors and family.  

So whether you’re an old pro or just starting out, there’s one place in town that’s guaranteed to set you up for fishing success. Just head to Lott Bros at 631 Northlake Boulevard, get a bucket of bait, and get ready to make some memories. 

At Lott Brothers, the best catch of the day might just be the good feeling you'll get supporting a great business that has done so much for the Village of North Palm Beach!
