About Us

Your Neighborhood Bait Shop — No Fancy Stuff, Just Good Gear

Little Jim Bait & Tackle is a family-run fishing supply store right here in Ft. Pierce, Florida. We're not a big-box warehouse — we're the place where you can walk in, grab what you need, and actually get someone who knows the difference between a cut bait rig and a live shrimp setup to point you in the right direction.

Whether you're casting off the pier, heading out to the canaveral, or just want a rod that won't quit on your first cast, we've got you covered. We keep live bait fresh every day, carry a solid selection of tackle for salt and freshwater, and we're happy to help you pick the right gear for the trip you're planning.

Fresh Live Bait Daily Mullet, shrimp, crickets — whatever you're targeting, we've got it.

Real Advice From Real Anglers Not a script — just honest recommendations from people who fish here.

Why Locals Choose Us

We're Not Trying to Be a Supermarket.
We're Trying to Be Helpful.

There's a difference between buying fishing gear online and walking into a shop where someone can tell you what's biting this week, what rig works for the current at the jetty, and whether you really need that $200 rod for the trip you're planning. That's the kind of place we're trying to be.

Live bait refreshed daily — not sitting since Tuesday
