I’m very happy with the service I got tonight! I came in before closing. The young man was eager to great us as soon as we walked in. Immediately grabbed my bucket and asked what I needed. I was in and out quick.
Looking into my bucket I was pleased with what I purchased. I did get some smaller shrimp but I don’t think he counted those like other shops around here.
Cocoa Beach Fishing Center is now my preferred bait and tackle shop. I will come here every time I fish beach side! Thank you guys!

We made a last minute decision to go surf fishing on a very short trip to Florida. I called and they were VERY helpful, answered all my questions. When we arrived, the weather was absolutely not cooperating and they were very kind and honest about the fishing possibilities. We couldn’t have appreciated them more. Next trip when we have more time (& better weather w/o coaster floods and rip tides/rough surf) we will most definitely come back to these guys!
Just had an awesome experience at the cocoa beach fishing center, all thanks to Gabe! He went above and beyond to help me find exactly what I needed, and his recommendations were spot on. Customer service like that is rare, and it made my trip super productive. Definitely earned that 5-star rating – thanks, Gabe, for the great help!

I just want to say that this is the best bait and tackle shop around Brevard in my personal opinion. I have been a regular for several years now and have always been very well taken care of by all the staff ( Nik, Gabe, and Bradley). They are all super friendly and knowledgeable. I am absolutely disgusted by the fake review posted by Jamal! Simply BS. None of that crap is true. If you live here and you fish ... you know better, but it really pisses me off that some liar is on here posting fake accusations about my friends and favorite bait shop... I would really hate for a visitor to see that post and decide not to come shop because of some liar. /end rant! Come shop at Cocoa Beach Fishing Center and decide for yourself ♡

(Owner Reply Should Tell You Everything You Need To Know)….Heard great things about this shop, but my first visit was ruined. Staff seemed friendly at first, but I overheard them making RACIST remarks behind the counter. Totally unacceptable. I don’t care how good the bait is I won’t support a place where that kind of talk is tolerated. Young kid with blondish hair working behind counter said the N-word multiple times with some ,I assume, friends of his. If you are a person of color bring your business ELSEWHERE. Unbelievable what I heard. 1-star is not even deserved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
