Live bait pulled fresh, tackle that actually works, and a crew that knows every cove from Galveston to the bayou. Your next catch starts right here on S Main St.
From the moment you tie on that first hook to the last cast of the day, Bubbas has you covered. No fancy online order forms — just real gear, real bait, real people.
Shrimp, minnows, worms, and crickets — pulled fresh and kept alive in our on-site tanks. Whatever the species are biting today, we've got it.
Rods, reels, lines, hooks, sinkers, lures — the works. We stock the brands locals trust and the newcomers need. Ask us what's working this week.
Saltwater or freshwater, resident or non-resident — we'll get you licensed fast so you can get back on the water the same day.
Keep your catch cold and your gear organized. Coolers, ice, tackle boxes, nets — grab it all here instead of making three stops.
This is the real value. We know what's biting, where the best spots are, and what conditions look like today. Stop in and ask — we don't charge for advice.
This isn't a corporate chain. It's a shop where regulars know your name, kids get excited about their first rod, and nobody rushes you out the door.
Bubbas Bait Shop sits right on South Main Street in the heart of Highlands, and if you've spent any time fishing around here, you know exactly what kind of water we're talking about. Bayous, channels, marshes — the kind of places that hold redfish, speckled trout, and flounder when the tide's right.
We keep the bait alive, the tackle stocked, and the coffee warm. Whether you're a weekend angler who just wants to get the kids out on the water or a seasoned hook-setter who knows every hole, this is your home base.
No markup nonsense. No online checkout queue. Just walk in, tell us what you're after, and leave with exactly what you need — plus a tip or two you won't find on YouTube.
Stop by the shop, give us a call, or swing by the map below. Either way, we'll have your gear ready and the bait fresh.
