Bait & Tackle Shops in Miami

11 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Bait and tackle shops are the local hub for anglers - the place to grab live and fresh bait, restock terminal tackle, pick up a fishing license and get honest, current intel on what is biting nearby. A good local shop knows the waters better than any app: which spots are producing, what the fish are hitting, and which rig works this week. Many also sell or rent gear, spool reels and point newcomers toward beginner-friendly spots and charters. Hours and stock vary, and live bait can sell out early on a good weekend, so it is worth a call ahead. The listings here help you find nearby shops by city and state, ranked by reviews.

Below are 11 bait & tackle shops listings in Miami, FL, ranked by Google review volume so you can start with the most established options and contact them directly. The most-reviewed is Haulover Marine Center (4.5★, 460 Google reviews).

Typical pricing in Miami

Can I buy a fishing license at a bait and tackle shop? +
Many bait and tackle shops are authorized to sell state fishing licenses alongside bait and gear, which makes them a convenient one-stop before a trip. Not all shops offer it, so call ahead to confirm - you can also buy a license online through your state wildlife agency.
What do bait and tackle shops sell? +
Typically live and fresh bait, hooks, weights, line, lures, rods and reels, plus local licenses at many shops. Some rent gear or spool reels for you. Stock varies by shop and season, and popular live baits can sell out on busy days, so a quick call ahead is smart.
How do I find a good local tackle shop? +

How much does a fishing charter cost in Miami? +
Most Miami charters run about $500-$1,500 depending on trip length and whether it is shared or private - short reef and drift trips at the low end, full-day offshore private charters at the top. Confirm the all-in price and what is included directly with the operator.
What can you catch on a Miami charter? +
Offshore trips target sailfish, mahi-mahi, tuna and wahoo in the Gulf Stream, reef and wreck trips target snapper and grouper, and inshore Biscayne Bay trips target tarpon and bonefish. Ask each operator which trip fits the species you want.
Do I need a fishing license on a Miami charter? +
Licensed charter operators in Florida typically cover passengers under their vessel license, so you usually do not need your own - but confirm with the operator when you book.
