About this shop
Rick's Yellow Bait House, formerly known as Jack's Bait and Tackle and commonly referred to as Rick's Yellow Bait Hop, is a staple roadside destination in Homestead, Florida. Strategically located on South Dixie Highway, it serves as an essential, often 24-hour pit stop for local and traveling anglers heading out to Everglades National Park, Flamingo, and the Florida Keys. Beyond basic fishing tackle, rods, lures, and seasonal lobster kits, the pet-friendly store keeps fishermen well-equipped by stocking travel conveniences like ice, sunscreen, snacks, and cold drinks.
The shop specializes in accommodating both fresh and saltwater fishing needs by maintaining a robust inventory of live, fresh, and frozen bait options. Anglers stopping by can expect to find popular live choices, including live shrimp, pinfish, blue crabs, mullet, and worms. While the store is widely praised for its highly competitive pricing on live shrimp and its prime geographical location, customer feedback notes that experiences can sometimes vary regarding service consistency or specific live bait counts during peak fishing hours.
