Bug Bait-Salmon heads-WAAAAAAAAAY cheap

One of my brothers deckhands has a father who is a wholesale Seafood distributor.They buy whole salmon and distribute to markets and restaurants filleted and processed.They sell the Heads and bellies to local asian markets.
I again have the opportunity to buy wholesale salmon heads and bellies for,get this,$.35 a pound.The kicker is I have to buy in large quantities so I am looking for a group order...
Matt(Stinky)and i went in on some last year and he will vouch for the deal but he wont sell me a small quantity any more,I have to buy several hundred pounds.I am in for 100# and will pay on good faith for a few fortunate folks who want to get in on this.I may or may not need more bait depending on how the season goes so speak now,speak quickly or forever hold your peace...

Also,I have a deep freeze and an igloo 180 but after that guys need to pick up quick.I plan on going early next week.Let me know.

That was a good deal last year.

The only thing I wish I had done is split all the heads before freezing.



Good luck with the bugs this year.

I would up for 100lbs if I had someone willing to transport them down to SD along with their own (willing to pony up some gas money....)

Looking at you Lowprofile....LOL

Last year it was about one third bellies.Cant really do anything about the ratio.I plan on going monday or tuesday.S.D. folk are able to meet with me at the Dist.directly and take it from there.That would be better.

A few local lobster guys get there bait from here too so I need to get moving on it.

Ok so it looks like 400# or so.I can get 200# in an Igloo 180 and last year some of it was in these awesome foam coolers.I will go on either monday or tuesday depending on my work schedule.The Dist. is in OC which is where I am working next week too.Just PM me and let me know your plans.I have a very heavy meat cleaver for those who want to split their heads you can dob it at my place just be warned you will get fish brains in your hair for sure.Also there is tax on the .35 a pound whatever that comes out to.Still a killer deal since 100# is enough for a lot of trips.I did much better with stuffed cages of salmon than a few macks for sure.

Hey man, put me down for 50 pounds. I can come pick it up anytime next week in the evening. If for some reason you need more for the order you can up it to 100 pounds. But 50 is probably plenty.

Thanks

the response is a little overwhelming.I will do what I can to try to hook as many people up as i can.

It would be awesome if someone from SD is available tuesday to P/U directly from the Dist. in Santa Ana.I am already going to be lugging 400# to the Casa.I will begin calling/answering all PMs this afternoon and will place the order tomorrow.I was just looking to do this once to hook a few guys up but may set up another run.I could always use some bug kharma.

Just finished putting away my 100# of salmon parts and lets just say that alot of bait! Took me a few hours to bag up at home and even spent a hour splitting 1/2 the heads. Saved some of the good parts of the bellies to try to eat. Cooking some thats marinating, hopefully it will tast good, planing on smoking some tomorrow. But dont get me wrong this was alot more work than i thought it would be and guts and blood and scales got everywhere lol
