Is there a bait man around Perdido Pass or is there a place close, by water, that I can get some live bait. I know there was one last year but cannot find him. I tried calling on the radio and had no luck. My luck has been bad on catching live and it takes a lot of time.Any help would be appreciated. JDM

The Bait Boat has been working "regularly" for the last few weeks from a pontoon boat anchored inside Perdido Pass next to the east end of the island at the entrance to Cotton Bayou. His name is Tony (i think) & he & his brother are in this together. They are extremely hard working & really easy to work with. $20 will buy you a baitwell full of lively bait & in just a matter of minutes you are on your way to the fishing grounds!!! You can reach him via VHF Ch. #80. He is usually there before 0600 & gone before noon . You may have to wait in line for a few minutes behind other boats when you arrive, but be patient. They are very efficient on their end of the transaction, so to help keep things moving for everyone, you should have your $$ & baitwell ready before you pull up alongside. Remember ... "slow & easy" when you pull up & leave, they will appreciate it!

Hope this helps.
