![]() ALSO: I am going to be fishing out of mission bay from the two bridges to the jetty, maybe even out in the big water. If anyone sees a chubby guy with a WS t140 on top of a red jeep commander, give me a wave or a paddle by.

Take a $20 bill and please don't oversleep! As I am looking forward to your report from the "great" Mission Bay.

Taking a $20 bill isn't the best thing to do. Although most of the barges have change you'll make it a hell of a lot easier on them if you pay them in 5's or 10, i always carry 5's and 10's.

Dana is $10. Tip $5 or more, but not less. I've heard from our bait guy that a few kayak guys stiff him on a tip after he loads them up. Don't be that guy.
If you can't stomach the $15 for bait at Dana, bring a sabiki ![]() |

I feel so cheap. I figured 30 or 40% but 50%, tip? My bait tank doesn't hold that much bait. ![]() Props to the bait guys tho. I always give them a few bucks over the base price. Lately tho. . . sabiki for me. I guess that's why I smell like a skunk. |

I guess it all depends. The way I see it, it is just as much work for the guy to come over to us and give us a scoop as it is for him to give a scoop to a regular boater. They work basically for tips. Also, I'm usually first guy to the bait barge, it is still dark outside, and I'm waking the guy up by knocking on the door with my paddle. I put myself in his shoes, and figure I'd be pretty ticked to get out of my warm cozy bed for a buck or 2. Is $5 any better? Probably not, but it makes me feel better.
I've also learned this- Tip the guy decent, he learns who you are. Normal guys get the bait from one tank, usually the one with the cone. Guys who tip get the bait from the special tank that is healthy and cured, usually a few tanks away from the orange cone. Also, bait guys are usually pretty informed of where fish are being caught, and what they are being caught on. Grease the skids every once and a while and you might be surprised. Cheaper than fish dope... Lately I've been skipping the bait barge though. Try to make a few greenbacks and go big or go home ![]() |
