WHY CHOOSE RIVIERA BAIT & TACKLE
Riviera Bait and Tackle is a locally owned Father and Son fishing bait and tackle shop located in the heart of St Petersburg, Florida.

Fishing is our passion. Whether you're an experienced tournament angler or just starting out, our knowledgeable staff can help get you set up for a successful day on the water. We carry a huge selection of the freshest live shrimp, pinfish, fiddler crabs and other bait to target all of the popular inshore and offshore species around St. Pete.

In addition to stocking the gear, Riviera Bait and Tackle’s staff are your local experts on the tides, hot spots, regulations, and current fishing reports. Don't know what's biting or how to fish for a particular species? Our staff will take the time to offer tips, techniques, and advice to help you catch more fish.

“Awesome shop. I usually went to another store nearby (won’t name), and found Riviera to be so much friendlier and more helpful. Guy working the counter is awesome and takes care of the customer. Highly recommend supporting this business!

Best bait shop around!! Amazing deals and Jacob, the owner, is so nice and very knowledgeable. He even let us use one of his poles because mine was broken! Great place!! Jacob also makes rods to your specifications as well! Such talent
