The owner must be super rich because they are passing up on business for no apparent reason. I was taking the kids out fishing and needed bait and some line put on a reel. They rudely refused to put line on the reel because it’s a weekend and that’s when they are busiest, even though they had 3 people working behind the counter. Went down the street to the flea market and they immediately helped me without hesitation.There are some people/businesses that deserve to be successful and some that don’t. I would rather cast net for my own bait then give this company a dollar.

This is The Place to get your live blue crabs. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I have bought crabs there on several occasions and am always more than completely satisfied. Thank you Cliff for being such a prolific crab hunter.

Used to be great when it was Denny Bs. Called this past Sunday (5/31) and asked what time theyd be open the next day, Monday (6/1). I was told 5am. Got there at 6:24am. Closed with a guy waiting outside. The guy outside said someone else just left who had been waiting since 5am, and that he told him they do this often (screw up their opening hours). Thanks for screwing up my morning with my kids.

Excellent bait shop with a large selection and a clean set-up. We were there late on the day on a Saturday and they still had tons of large shrimp in different sizes, bait fish, live crabs, and more. Prices were also great, and the boy working at the counter was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Love this place!! From the first call, everyone here has been so helpful. When we finally got here, Cody blew us away! He was extremely knowledgeable and treated us with so much respect. This will be the only place we will come in Tampa for our bait and tackle! We will update and let you know if the advice we got lead to some catches!

Best place to get red worms for composting. I’m not much of fishing person. However, listening and watching how they work with customers, they’re excellent. And they’re very knowledgeable about what worms work best for composting and what worms would be a waste of time.
