Bottom Bangers - Destin Bait Report 7/18/07

Hey everyone ,

It certainly has been way to long since I sent a report and I'm sorry for that. WOW ! What an improvement for us this past month. The bait finally showed up good enough for us to have a good supply on a daily basis.We have had all 4 boats in full operation so getting to a baitboat in Destin has has been easy lately...

Thats the way we like it .If you guys are happy then so are we. It means the bait is here to stay and we're ready to make up for the rough start this year .We've been keeping boats out later in the day to catch afternoon trips , so don't be afraid to give a late call on the vhf , you might just get an answer. Remember , Harborwalk Marina also carries bait for us "after hours " so to speak .We drop bait there daily when we come in for the day and the pricing is the same as if you got bait from any of our boats. Well thanks for reading and we hope to see ya'll soon

Here are some "How to" tips that Joey refers to as "Live Bait Sense" on how to procure that livewell full of fresh bait:

-Turn on your VHF radio to ch.80 and check your volume

-Call from the pass to find out our locations

-Once you've contacted us on ch.80 and recieved instructions, please be courteous to other fisherman who are either in line to purchase bait or baitfishing for a charter

-Start your livewell long before you pull up to get bait to ensure it's working properly and that there is no foreign chemical residue from your cleanup the day before

- Know in advance the amount of bait you would like to purchase

-Idle speed from a safe distance is appreciated and those who do will be rewarded for your respect and courtesy.Remember-speeding to the live bait boats will not increase your chances of getting bait.

-Be ready when it is your turn. use your VHF to communicate with us

-Don't be afraid to ask questions about the size and condition of the bait which varies everyday due to conditions beyond our control,ie.predators,ocean swell,tide,temperature or theft

-Fishing near the bait boats will greatly decrease your chances of being able to purchase bait from us.We try to fish away from the fleet whenever possible and expect the same respect from others

-Once you have purchased your bait, idle away slowly before throttling up your boat
