On the Key go to the Marina Bait store where Sundays by the bay was or The Marina by the Rusty Pelican. Call First or hook up with a Key RAT and they might share the boundy.

I'd set you up, but I'm not at KBYC till june/july.

PS. A guy used to sell then out of a boat near Gov Cut, Hailed him on 72 I think

If you are going out of Matheson there is a bait boat at Bug Light every morning. If not you can almost always catch your own at either marker 21 or bug (Threads and Ballyhoo at 21 and threads and pilchards at bug). If you are out of Government Cut there is also a bait boat, sometimes two, there everyday. There are almost always threads in Governement Cut right where the channel splits. You just mark them on the recorder and jig them up on sabikis. Of course the bait boats are there through the sailfish season and then not back again to the fall.
If you are in Pinecrest I am just west of you. Maybe we might meet and fish together? Harry
