Indeed

Dude at the Dana barge was quite confident in telling me today that kayak scoops there were not changing in price.

From the good guys that work on the DP barge (names withheld) - the cost of a kayak scoop will remain $10.

BTW, have you noticed that there are always TWO guys now working the barge? Seems some bozo boater got on the barge a while back, fell between the openings, broke his leg, and is suing the company. Easy to guess where that additional revenue will be going...

What do you do if you want sardines and don't want to pay? Paddle out and throw a net around? Will 'dines hit the sabiki?

Not typically, and usually not in as great of numbers as mackerel, inshore.

And if you do they're usually horse sized sardines right? Good for Yellows and bigger halibut I say.

Wrong, the price will be $20 for a kayak scoop.

Aside from not raising prices in 8 years, the Bro's were sued by a dude who climbed aboard the receiver (despite all the signs saying not to), fell and broke his leg. It is now necessary to have two people on the receiver now at all times.

Not sure how much that affected the price change but aside from the amount they were sued for the price of their insurance must have skyrocketed.

Bait was $20 today despite being told many times over the past few weeks that a kayak scoop would remain $10.

Let's see... some A-HOLE BOATER sues the company so they'll raise boaters' prices 35% or so. AND KAYERS' PRICE 100%. Sure, that's fair. What the f did we have to do with it? What's that, about $1 - $1.50 a sardine? I don't think so... I give the F'inham Bros plenty of my money each year for bait and gratuities and now that's out the door...

Time to invest in more sabikis, put the $20 in my gas tank, and go add to the overcrowding at some other spots...

As far as I can recall I've only bought bait twice in the last 3-5 years.

About 99% of the time its easy to make so why not catch your own? Throw in a Sabiki 500 and your bait catching percentage will up to 99.999%
