Live bait in Keys

quack quack · 05-17-2007, 03:44 PM

Need help from some one.Going down on June 7th looking for bait on the 8th and 9th.Want to get a bunch of bait to go out to the humps.Not looking to spend all day making bait and would love to have them dialed in or pay for it.The boat is down there so getting bait on the way is not an option.The house I will be at is about 10 miles north of Islamorada.

I'm in Key Largo & I Don't know of any boats selling live bait in the keys & we don't neccesarily have a "bug light" stacked with baitfish. Your best bet might be catching live ballyhoo at one of the patch reefs or pinfish on the grass flats. With block chum & a cast net or tiny gold hooks you can get plenty.

Try Captain Jim Mulcahy--he's out of Key Largo and can usually deliver live bait in the upper keys with a little advance notice if you're ordering enough to make it worth the trip
