If you’re going a fishin’ and want some bait, this place is worth a look, they seem knowledgeable and have a lot in stock. Its a small older place, and is kept clean and nice as much as a bait shop can be kept, lol.

Worst bait shop in key largo. Sell frozen ballyhoo as fresh. Complete tourist trap. Do yourself a favor and stay away. Overpriced and overrated.

Have gone here for bait several times and have been disappointed with the frozen shrimp. I switched to live shrimp and they are much better. When I asked a few questions, the girl behind the counter couldn’t be bothered, she was too involved in a conversation with two young men that walked in after me. Overall, the entire staff is rude and impatient. The only time they spoke english is when they told you how much you owe them for your bait. Not sure if I can find another bait store nearby, but I’m looking. People with attitudes like this should not be in business. If you don’t like people, don’t be in the service industry!!!

This place is a landmark in Key Largo and has just about everything you would need, except the boat, to fish down here. The staff was really helpful as well…

My favorite place to go to get live shrimp bait. The price is good and the shrimp are always fresh if you go early. Also, the people here are really nice. I remember even when I was a little kid, just got my boating license, and it was my first time going out fishing on my own and they showed me a few new places on the map they thought would be easy for me to anchor on my own and isn’t too busy. I thought that was really sweet of them because as we all know its rare for people to share their fishing spots, especially to other locals/seasonal residents. Thats how you know for sure that the staff are very friendly people.

Awesome place to get all your bait needs! Live shrimp for just $ 1.99 for a dozen(wild) and only 99 cents for farm. Friendly staff that’s there to answer questions and they open early and stay open late! Definitely try em out :)

This should get a «zero» star rating. I should’ve gone with my gut feeling when I walked into the Yellow Bait House. Prices on large stone crab are $ 14.99 compared to $ 18.99 at Key Largo Fisheries. I thought… wow! great deal. We bought 10lbs to treat our family that lives there. What a dissappointment, there were only a few large crabs mixed in with alot of mediums. I would’ve been much better off paying the extra money. It just goes to show, if it seems too good to be true… probably is. :( In addition if you go there pay with cash. Very coincidental but there were 2 fraudulent charges on my credit card the day after I bought the stone crabs and looking back through my recent purchases that was the only place where my credit card was out of my hands. Not pointing fingers, just saying.

Stone crabs eat pigs feet. Can you say WTF? I didn’t know that either. Actually, I didn’t know much about catching Stone Crab before I called them up except that I was allowed 5 traps with a valid fishing license. The helpful young man explained the different traps they sell, from do it yourself to ready to drop. He explained about the pigs feet and yes, they do sell it. We always go here for our normal bait needs as well. Tackle supplies. Even a small fresh fish market. They do it all and have friendly service too. Simply perfect.

When I am getting ready to go fishing this is my first stop. It is a classic bait shop. Live and frozen bait of all kinds. Any and every kind of tackle you might need, and the twist is that they also have a fish market. A fresh reasonable priced fish market. Worth a stop to checkout even if you don’t fish.

Soccerballgirl looked at her lunch, she was not happy: ” Oh no, not lobster AGAIN!“ Hell yeah honey, when you get great lobster at great prices from this place we will eat it as much as we possibly can, and on our Key Largo vacation that was a lot. This is a great fish market — not a fishing shack selling worms and crickets. A massive selection of well priced fish– including some hard to find and names– Icannot remember. Guy sold us one fish and told us no-body ever eats it — and it was awesome. a few lobster tails(or whole lobsters) from here, throw them on the grill, add a nice bottle of whie wine, a perfect holiday moment.
