Love Eric and his fishing enthusiasm what a knowledgeable young man he “hooked” us up on some great fishing gear great prices bait, tackle, knowledge and our fishing licenses wrapped up in one place .

It’s really the best bait and tackle in sarasota, has live bait and live shrimp, very informative great fishing gears just awesome experience in general.

These guys are always great. Super informative, always friendly and timely! These guys that run this shop are hard working American citizens that take not only pride but joy in what they do. I always come here for questions and advice. These guys make an honest living. Selling everything from crickets to shiners. All kinds of tackle, lures, chum, fishing equipment and much more. Everything here for your essential fishing needs!

This small litte shop Rocks.Usually attended by the Father and Son.(The father should be proud of the son he rocks when he is there, answering the phone putting line on reels getting shrimp in buckets and cashing out people)And all along being very friendly.The store is fully stock pretty much with all your basic fishing needs and a little more.I will definitely go back.

Probably the best bait shop I have ever visited bar none. By far the most helpful, and I look forward to going there every time.

Privately owned and operated fishing store on 41 south just north of Bahia Vista. Everything you need from rods and reels to lures and live bait. Lots of local knowledge and willing to share. Prices are very competitive. Live bait available.

I dont know his name, but very friendly dude workin in there. He knows his stuff! Maybe its Eric. Anyway great experience every time.

Great place for all your fishing supplies. Eric is also very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He will help you catch more fish.

Great service bought two rod and reels and tackle to fish Sarasota!

Well worth the drive from Bradenton. Showed up with my 12yr old son and his buddies to replace a broken bass rod. The dude working there was awesome. Went above and beyond helping us out. This is the kind of customer service that will bring you back, and not go to a bigger store or online. We got a great rod and reel and left super happy. My son has a new favorite tackle shop, so we will be back for sure.

If you need bait or tackle the only place you need to go is here. Great staff and good service.

Very helpful,friendly staff. Great place for bait and fishing supplies 👍

Best bait store anywhere around Sarasota, talk to Eric! He is full of wisdom!! Hell have you on the fish!!!

The only place I will go for my fishing equipment and bait, very nice guys and always helpful.

Purchased two rod and reels from here. One rod broke with very little resistance. I brought back just to let them know. They commented that they don’t sell that brand. I pointed out one in their rack. comment then was that’s a very cheap rod. Wasn’t cheap when I bought it. I had planned on purchasing additional gear but decided to take my business elsewhere. Very rude

Do not buy your fishing gear online come here and they will tell you what you need for what youre doing. If you buy your stuff online or watch YouTube youre wasting your time

Great service. Lots of knowledge.

Live bait, tackle, the best lures, rods and reels. This store has it all with the customer service to boot!! Family owned and operated, this store is a treasure.

Nice, friendly, knowledgeable. Live bait.

Only bait shop open at 6am close to siesta key beach. The guy there was super friendly and helpful. Huge selection and decent prices.

Great respectful young man helpful and cool store

Best tackle shop! The staff are super knowledgeable and friendly. If you’re new to fishing, go in and tell them what kind of fish you want to catch. They’ll tell you the best tackle and bait to use and help you shop. They’ll even recommend places to fish nearby. They haven’t steered me wrong yet! They’ve earned a lifelong customer from me. Top notch customer service!

Alright, here we go friends.. I have hardly ever rated any store or people on here. I find that when it comes to business most people are out for themselves. Not the case when shopping at All About Fishing, the MECCA for all your fishing needs and questions. I have been going here for about 5 years now and have always enjoyed the experience. I was out fishing today and on my first cast the rod snapped, clearly I was bummed, Eric had just done some work on the rod and in the midst of fixing it, something went awry. I drove back up there, showed him the rod, and without even hinting that I would like another at least at a discounted rate he says heres a new one.. ON THE HOUSE!!!!!!! WHO DOES THAT?! HAHAHA no one I have ever come across, have YOU?! Without a doubt it was one one the coolest experiences I have ever had. I highly recommend shopping here! Thank you Eric, truly made a huge impression on me!! Catchem up fellas!

The young man and family that own this place are phenomenal always support your local businesses often times the big stores will be out of what I need and these guys will have it this is the place to shop and spend your money

If you want to catch a fish start here first.

Best place for your fishing needs. Live and artificial bait

Very knowledgeable, good service at this shop.

Very helpful employee keeping things going in this busy little shop. Found the exact tackle I was looking for and got some great advice for fishing in the area. Healthy shrimp that stayed alive and jumpy in their in-water bait bucket. We caught a ton of fish today! Thank you!

Friendly staff. Are very knowledgeable. Best bait shop in Sarasota.

Had great experiences every time I went to All About Fishing. Staff is super friendly and helpful and you can tell they value their customers. Would highly recommend!

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. With these guys tips and pointers I was able to check off all my bucket list fish on my vacation. They value their customers and make it their goal to put us on the fish. 11/10 recommend these guys !!

Was in town for vacation and needed some shrimp. The people here were super nice and the shrimp were awesome.

The best bait store I have ever been in 5 star

Wonderful place for everything needed to enjoy fishing & the waters around Sarasota.

First time customer Eric was externally knowledgeable and very professional. This shop is a family owned and operated business with amazing prices absolutely great selection of gear and live bait as well. This shop will be my go to from now on they are absolutely where you want to go they treat you like family not just a sales ticket. Check out his paintings as well very talented individual as well as very talented and well experienced shop. Eric don’t drop your wallet again lol.

They gots the goods! Friendly staff and patrons. A good fishing shop is at least as much about fishing talk as it is about the gear and thats what makes this a great place.

Lots of fishing gear in one little place

Visiting Florida, unfamiliar with the fishing areas and not wanting to be an ignorant tourist, we lucked out by stopping by All About Fishing. Don the owner gave us a brief education on the type of fish, where to fish and how to do it all responsibly with respect for fish and the wildlife in the area. He is passionate about fish and the area and a wealth of knowledge. If you are looking for the real McCoy of fisherman All About Fishing is the place to go. Thanks Don for all your help.

I am new to the area and (for that matter) new to saltwater fishing. I chose All About Fishing because it was the closest bait and tackle shop to where I live and I wanted to find a place to get braided fishing line on my rod. I also had a ton of questions and planed on asking them just a few. However, unlike many places, the level of service that I received that this place was a superb and amazing. I forget the name of the guy who helped me but he said he was the son of the shop owner. He was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. He took the time to explain a lot of things to me and made me feel very comfortable in asking more questions. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area!

Eric is fantastic! So passionate about fishing. Taught us a lot and got all set for our new and exciting fishing adventures!

Quaint little shop with live bait, old Florida feel. The owner and his son are super knowledgable, friendly and helpful. You can tell they are very passionate about fishing and happy to help.

Ive lived in Sarasota for 30 years and All about fishing is by far the best bait shop around. Very reasonable prices. A great selection of tackle. They also have a wonderful assortment of live bait. Everything from red worms and nightcrawler to large shiners. Hand pick shrimp and live pinfish to fresh frozen baits. Highly recommend!

Very well stocked and organized store, competitive prices and staff helpful

Its all about the excellent service.

We love shopping here for our fishing stuff! The young man there is always so nice and helpful. Hes very personable.

Very nice and spacious store, amazing live bait setup and possibly the best live bait in town. Some products are average price but for most hard lures you can take what it retails for and add 5$ to it. For example a Yozuri Crystal Shrimp is about 13$, but here it was 18$. Not too bad for good tackle thats hard to find but also a little pricey. Large selection of Roda and reels, all top of the line products

Very helpful. On vacation and the owner gave me some fishing hot spots.

This is the place to go for bait, tackle, and advice. The kid who works there (cant recall his name) is the son of the owner and the most jazzed, helpful, and knowledgeable kid Ive ever met working in a store. You can tell he lives to fish and loves to talk about it and share his knowledge. Just dont expect him to chat if you show up and theres a line of people waiting for bait.

Very helpful

Good prices, nice people.

This shop has everything from minnows to tackle, friendly service and great information about the local area fishing. They even set us up with a charter guide for fishing Sarasota Bay and we had an amazing day on the water.

Awesome customer service! All the advice and help a tourist like me needed lol. Highly recommend

Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Great shrimp too!

What a great place to find sunglasses!! Lots of Costa Del Mars. And the service is wonderful. Love it.

Folks are solid on local scene and very helpful! I will be back 😎

These guys are the best. Very knowledgeable, friendly and all around top notch service!

Whent to this shop for the first time over the weekend. We were greeted by friendly and honest staff. The shop is packed with fishing gear and the equipment you need. This is my favorite shop in the area.

Shrimps, leader and a spot for me to go! Two Snook 2 cats and 2 mangroves! One snook was 30! Awesome place. Will visit again when I am in the area.

Super helpful staff. Reasonable prices too!

Have bought bait, tackle and a rod and reel. Totally satisfied with all purchases. The staff are all helpful and friendly and happy to share their wide experience of fishing in the area.

Fun and cute little place.

Everything I need great customer service

I shopped every store from TN through GA into FL and couldnt find the exact pair of Costas I was looking for until this place. Young guy working the store (25-30) was extremely helpful with everyone walking through. Handled it exceptionally considering the foot traffic. Perfect experience for an out-of-towner. Will go back before we leave.

Very helpful shop This is one of the best by far shops in townI bought my 1st fishing pole here & works like new still they gave me exactly what i was looking for !

My favorite place to get my bait. Friendly service. Family oriented. And the best live bait in town.

Best in town!!!!

Great bait and tackle shop. Very helpful and friendly

Nice water gear

Great service 👌 Their lures and tackle are top notch, and relatively inexpensive.

Ive known Don and Eric for over 5 years and they have always exceeded my expectations as far as fishing knowledge is involved. They are kind hearted and very passionate about what they do, and are always willing to go out of there way to make sure the customers are accommodated.

Really great service, but they rarely have bait (live shrimp) when i need it.

Everything you need, great people !

We keep coming back for the incredible bait for explosive kayak fishing, and you should too!!

Great poeple and service.

They should change their hours to 9 or whenever they feel like coming in. Its posted 6-6, I went around 7:50 and shop aint even open. Waste of my time driving 20 mins over there.

Old school Sarasota at its best. Very good staff and the best live shrimp in town.

Exellent customer service! Great store!

Locally owned. Great bait

Great live bait and tackle shop.

Best bait and tackle shop between Venice and St Pete. Don and Eric always have the best selection of live bait, wether you fish freshwater or salt, and their tackle selection and prices cant be beat! Wether you are a fishing guide, or recreational fisherman, this is the place to go in Sarasota for bait and tackle!

Only bait shop we use, great staff
