Shark Bait Fishing Co., Merritt Island

Shark Bait Fishing's name is a little deceiving. Sure, you might catch a baby shark out on the company's 26-foot catamaran, but you'll also have a great shot at reeling in everything from puffers to red fish to the more elusive electric pink eel. Shark Bait provides the reels, rods, and hook licenses, and out on the waves of the Intracoastal Waterway, the captain will help you bait hooks and clean your fish. That part's especially helpful if you plan on bringing the whole family, which the company happily encourages.
