Live Bait (ANCHOVIES!) for ARW 6/10

I used to do some pier fishing and I have a cooler box rigged for live bait. I'd like to see if there's any interest from you guys because I'm planning to pick some up that Sunday morning. From past experience, 5-6 live chovies usually can keep one baited for the morning but you prob will need at least a 1 gal bucket with an aerator or holes+tied into water to keep them alive.

Where are you going to get the chovies at?

From the Berkeley receiver. I heard the chovies are big this year too

Btw, anchovies are waaaaay cheaper than live shiners. $15 will net me 80-100? I'll buy accordingly pending the interest and just set up a donation jar next to it on the day of event.

I'd love to have some chovies from you bro. I'll kick down some money into the donation jar.
Thanks in advance for sharing.

Hey Jedmo,

How do you keep your anchovies?  Do you use a live well or is there another simple way?

Thanks for the offer R.S.  I'd like to have dozen off them if you don't mind.

I'll take a half dozen sir and kick you down some moolah.
Thanks

Me too. 6 would be great.

Are you sure that Berkeley Marina receiver guy has anchovies?
10 days ago I talked to my buddy who is a capt for the party boats out of that marina and he said that the anchovies weren't in at that time.

I'll bring a sabiki just in case.

Btw can you save the dead ones for me? I am hoping to make tray bait so I'll put them on ice.  I'll be in a yellow Hobie driving a white Subaru Outback.
Thanks

I'll take a doz. What time are you picking them up? How are you transporting them? Chovies are pretty delicate, not gonna last long without lots of "fresh" water supply. Simple aeration won't help much.

Forgot how many gallons my cooler holds but its the $40 one from walmart w/ wheels. Have a dual aeration system and berkeley is only 10 minutes away. They will be good, at least until im in the water. Also, the berkeley receiver opened shop last Thursday, so 10 days ago? I will be picking them up around 6 am.

I'm in for 6.  Thanks for the leg work dude!

Put me down for 12.   This really helps out.   Thanks!

I'm in for 6-10. I use a livewell and aerator and can keep them alive for a few hours
