Weekend Bait Camp Operations Tee — Est 1993 — Backlot Supply Archive

Recovered from a liquidation sale at a Gulf Coast bait shop that closed sometime around 2001, this shirt tells the story of a place that was equal parts fishing supply, community gathering spot, and cold drink dispensary.

Live Shrimp. Bait. Ice. Beer. The signs on the side of the shack said everything that needed to be said. A shrimping boat sitting in the water out back. Gulls circling overhead. The kind of place you didn't find — you just ended up there.

Good Bait. Good People. Good Times.

Printed on a soft Bella+Canvas 3001 unisex tee in Natural. Vintage-distressed screenprint graphic. True to size — size up for a relaxed fit.
