Upper Keys Live Bait

ameristrat · 01-14-2008, 04:05 PM

I will be going to Southern Key Largo or Islamordad (can't remember which) in mid march and am obviously hoping to do some sailfishing down there. I know how to catch ballyhoo on the lights there so I'm not worried about that, but does anyone know of anywhere / one who/that I can buy bait from or how to get any of the pilchards, runners, or gogs down there? Thanks, you can answer here or pm me if you've got a clue.

I appreciate it!

Call me just before you come down to Isla. and ill give you a # of a bait boat in Isla... Ill also tell you where the ballyhoo are. Ilive here and fish often. Ill be gone from 2/2 to 2/8 but will be here after that. Sails have not been good but might get better.If you need anything else, let me know.
