Bait boat fill out in the open water. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Has anyone that has fished off of La Jolla/ Torrey Pines or PB waters ever called the attention of 'Everingham Bros' Bait boat (if it happens to be netting within the area/proximity where you may have been fishing) to get a bait fill on the spot? Kind of curious if they do that kind of thing. I've been graced during this past summer with the generosity of local private boats stopping by the nearest yak to give up their leftover bait before they head on in for the day. Yet I've seen our local bait boats pass through the area a few times, and always wondered if they can help a guy out?

You probably have to know one of the guys on the boat to get that type of hook up.

Squid boat yes. Others, not so much

That's interesting, then I gotta keep my eye out for a squid boat. I love it when I'm just arriving on the water and another guy that's going home gives up his bait whether he on a private boat or yak but that's not always going to be the case. I guess I gotta prep to take enough frozen squid on my trips.

The squid boats do not have a barge as far as I know, so the only way to get their bait is to go to them.

I see that frequently in Avalon. Where the private boaters go to get live squid.

I'm sure the Captain would live to burn 20 bucks in gas to make 10 bucks on uncured sardines.
