Old Florida Cigar & Bait Co. — Local services in Indian Rocks Beach

Went in to buy shrimp and man working the store was very rude and determined not to give me what I asked for and/or wanted. I asked for 1.5 dozen of his largest shrimp and ended up with “ONE” large shrimp out of 16! 15 out of 16 shrimp were either medium, small or extra small. When he was scooping the shrimp the very last shrimp in his net was a large and I asked for it and he threw it back into the tank. I picked up the net and said I wanted that “ONE” shrimp and he said to put it back or pay for another 1/2 dozen. SMH. That was the only bait shop I went to and now...

The gentleman running the store was respectful, insightful and honest. He remained transparent with me when consulting him about what equipment I need down here. He did not persuade me to spend outrageous money on things I only may use, and he made sure I left with everything I need to get going. He also has a nice display of cigars for a very reasonable price. Overall 10/10, would highly recommend to travelers looking for a quality bait shop/cigar shop in the Indian...

A bait shop with local hand-rolled cigars?! What a great combination. Always has fresh live shrimp and any tackle you need to catch most fish species in the surrounding area. If you don't know how to fish, just ask the owner. He always has good info on what's biting and how to catch them. Oh and the cigars are very good with mild and medium body options in a couple different sizes. I can't say enough...
