ARW Livebait?

Does anyone know if live bait will be available to buy that morning at tackle shop like last year.

Mikes Bait in Oakland will be the shop....call him to find out,,,,,then post your findings please.

Brkeley may also have anchovies. There a lot of anchovies in the bay this year, so if you have the ability to keep delicate chos alive, you may want to match the hatch.
P.S. There are definatly a few nice hali being taken around the wall as of late.

Appreciate the feedback guys, thanks

Berkeley has live bait at K dock. His schedule is 530-1000 on weekends and 0600-0900 on weekdays i believe. All u guys need is a runner to pick up the bait and everyone can pitch in and share. The shiners @ mike's in oakland are running @ $2 a pop this year!

A shiner will stay lively on the hook for over 2 hrs, possibly much longer. Anchovies last 30-45 min before they effectively become dead bait. Rebaiting takes 5 or so min. Added up, thats a significant percentage of strike zone time in a 6hr comp......just a thought.

Mikes opens at 6 am - called today.  No chovies, shinners $20.00 for a dozen or $2.00 each.  Also road construction around his shop.
