Crazy Lure Bait and Tackle

Best bait shop in town!!! Super knowledgeable about the local fishing areas and what is actively biting on what bait. James is awesome! He gives the best advice and isn't afraid to share his secret fishing spots! Make sure to stop here and get your fishing tackle, bait and ice before you head out for the day on the water! Tight linez!!!

These guys are awesome. I was in the shop almost everyday these past two weeks and all the staff I met were extremely friendly and helpful. My friend and I are complete beginners and they both fitted us and gave us the tips we needed to land 3 tarpon and a baby bull shark this past weekend. Thanks for everything y'all!

One of my go-to places for live shrimp and fiddler crabs. They are also well stocked with all the basics to get you on the water catching fish!

Friendly service and great prices for live shrimp. They lasted all day with the bubbler. I’ve been here twice now and will continue to use them for bait.

Shrimp are good size, worker was polite and friendly, acknowledged me as soon as I walked in and was very helpful.

They have 50 shrimp for $12.50 I think it was currently.

Highly recommend this shop, Andy was super knowledgeable and took the time to not only fix my rod but he taught me how to fix it on my own next time it happens. Gave tips and tricks, I can’t be more thankful to have such a wonderful store and staff local to my home

Super friendly, helpful staff and good prices! Anytime we are staying in the area, this is definitely the bait shop we will be using!

Awesome bunch of guys. Very helpful and kind. Been my go to since I moved to the area for live shrimp.

From my experience, the owner's knowledge of where to fish was absolutely fantastic, and their advice was spot on. They clearly have a deep passion for fishing and a wealth of experience in the local area.

One thing that really stood out to me about this bait shop was the quality of their bait. They always have fresh live bait available, which is crucial when you're out on the water trying to catch fish. This made a big difference in my fishing experience, and I felt confident that I was using the best possible bait to attract fish.

In addition to their expertise and high-quality bait, the staff at this bait shop were also incredibly friendly and helpful. They were happy to answer any questions I had and provided excellent customer service throughout my visit.

Overall, I would highly recommend this bait shop to anyone who loves fishing in the Cape Coral area. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, you'll find everything you need here to have a successful and fun trip.

Only people in town that had live shrimp ! Cheap ! Fast and actually really good quality

Everyone is so nice here. It’s a great place to come to get your bait.

Came here while I was on vacation and they hooked me up with some really good gear. I'm from Connecticut and wasn't sure what to get when I first walked in, but they are extremely knowledgeable and gave great advice. The owners are friendly, down to earth and I will definitely be back! Couldn't be happier with their customer service.

The owner is one hell of a guy, we were from out of town asking advice about where to fish that night and what to use. We ended up heading out to the "Secret Location" he gave us, and cast out some large thawed out dead mullet. And less than an hour later I hooked up with 42" Snook.

Next year we plan on hitting him up for an In-Shore Charter, we had no idea he also chartered. But thanks again Captain for putting us on the fish with the right bait. AND that 50lb liter I grabbed walking out the door really paid off, I pulled in a 5 foot gator the next night in the canal behind the house, and a 5 foot+ black tip out of the ICW.

SUPER HELPFUL! We are avid visitors to Cape and always spend three days fishing on a boat. The owner here was very helpful and had given us a lot of extra information about fishing spots and baits to use. The store is clean and has lots of retail items. There was also a Crazy BBQ truck parked in front but it was early so we didn't get any.
Highly recommend this location for bait and customer service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Can’t say enough good things about this shop. James and Andy have gone above and beyond to help me with my starter to kit to fishing. They are patient and knowledgeable and so kind. Really appreciate this shop for everything. Definitely check them out

First of all GREAT people and a nice shop to have some “dock talk”. You also can not beat the prices I recommend crazy’s 100 times over any bait/tackle in Cape Coral or ft. Meyers!

Best Bait Shop in SW Florida hands down. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable, prices are great and they are the only shop I can find that gets hand picked shrimp (the big ones) in the summer. I get eye rolls and attitude when I ask questions at other bait shops, not these guys, staff has gone out of their way to help with advice and techniques. These guys are awesome!

First time back fishing in SWFL post Ian. Bait shops in fort myers beach area are tough right now, cant really blame them. Came across this shop today while doing a bait shop tour. This is by far the best bait shop around. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Beautiful healthy live bait. Shrimp, pinfish and even crab which personally I have never seen before at a shop. Great assortment of frozen as well. Well worth the short drive from fort myers beach.

We really enjoyed our visit to the bait shop last night. These guys hooked us up with a couple of techniques and some really nice live shrimp. We had a ball fishing the canals at night. Jamie was super helpful.

Can’t say enough good things about this shop. They are patient and knowledgeable and so kind. Really appreciate this shop for everything. Definitely check them out good customer service
