Mitch’s Bait ‘N Tackle is a family-run bait and tackle shop located at 331 Southeast Blvd North in St. Petersburg, Florida. We’ve been serving the local fishing community with quality gear, fresh bait, and honest advice for anglers of every skill level. Whether you’re a weekend warrior heading to Fort De Soto or a seasoned pro targeting snook on the flats, we’re here to make sure you’re rigged up and ready to go.

Our mission is simple: provide every angler in the St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay area with quality fishing gear, fresh live bait, and real local knowledge — all at fair prices. We believe a great bait shop isn’t just a store, it’s a resource. That’s why our staff stays on top of the latest fishing reports, tidal patterns, and seasonal runs so we can help you catch more fish every time you visit.

We fish the same waters you do — Tampa Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, Boca Ciega Bay, Weedon Island Preserve, and the Pinellas County beaches. Our team knows what’s biting, where it’s biting, and what bait to use. From the Skyway Fishing Pier to the mangrove shorelines of upper Tampa Bay, we can point you in the right direction. Stop in and ask — we love talking fishing.

Beyond live bait and tackle, Mitch’s Bait ‘N Tackle is your one-stop shop for rods, reels, line, lures, fishing accessories, cold drinks, ice, and snacks. We also connect anglers with trusted local fishing charter captains for inshore and offshore guided trips. Located on Southeast Blvd N — one of St. Petersburg’s main corridors — we’re easy to find and right on the way to some of the best fishing spots in Pinellas County.
