We here at SCBT not only pride ourselves on trying to maintain a friendly, family oriented establishment with 24 hour service where we will wake up & come down to fill your bait & tackle needs anytime between 9pm-5 am but we (I) will also drop things when I can & leave the store to come out to help when you call asking for a jump start or even even get you unstuck if you need. Why ? Because that’s how we do it here at SCBT. #family #friends #fishingcommunity. ~Jerry
