ARW live bait thread

Just a reminder, Mikes will be open by 5am, possibly a tad earlier.

Wish there's a "mobile" bait shop at the launch! 

Only 4 blocks away... Central Avenue Bait & Tackle
641 Central Avenue, Alameda, CA 94501-3816 (510) 522-6731 ‎ Talked to them today and they will have shiners and bull heads... Willing to open early 6ish for us... Call them so they know how much to order and reserve your bait ($1.95ish each there) OR if we run out of bait closer than Mikes  Also Grand Street Bait & Tackle NO LIVE BAIT NO LIVE BAIT NO LIVE BAIT
2030 Clement Avenue, Alameda, CA 94501 (510) 521-2460 ‎ Across the island but still close NO LIVE BAIT only frozen Squid and anchovy

Central Bait about a 1/4 mile from the launch has bait. Talked to him yesterday and if enough people want to show up he will open early.

The reason I didnt go with him is I've found him unreliable most of the time. I can't tell you how many times hes said he'll be open with live bait and he isn't or didnt have and I had to drive all the way back to Mikes. I hope he has on the day but if you dont want to waste an hour driving back to Mikes I wouldn't bank on it. Nowadays I get my own bait. I organized this to help level the playing field at this family event. I want to see a12yr old or fishwife/gf win it.

I cannot make it to this event but I have to agree with Sharky...

Thanks Sharky put me down for six.

I might not be able to make it to the bait shop in time so can you take off my six?

Thanks for putting this together.

I will buy 6 at the ramp @ $2 ea if someone backs out... Gonna trust in the fish gods and go to central for the other 6, Fishin' Carma for spreadin' the wealth???

Don't know if it's too late but... I'm clear to fish on Sunday... can I still get some but candy?

Freddie

was planning on rolling with popsicles. If someone bails I can buy a couple so you are not out the cash.

Previously ordered a dozen but will not need them.  Please let Mike know.  Thanks.

Freddie, EWB, you guys should be good. We have about 250 on request. He said he'd have 300 put back for us. I'm not out any $. Were just hoping people who orderd actually pitch up.

i can scrape together enough $  for 6, if you would please. this is awesome! thanks sharky ... jeff-iroe

Just spoke to Mike. He has 300 set back for us. We've only requested around 265 on this thread. He may also have mud suckers for anyone thinking out of the box. Opens at 5 am. See yall otw bright n early
