June 1st, have not heard about kayak scoop, but am guessing it will go up to $15. Everingham Bros is one of our HOW supporting sponsors. I will check in with them and find out what the "scoop" is.

SCOOP

Fish Taco · 05-03-2016, 09:19 AM

All I can say is the $10 scoop I got put in my Malibu Stealth 14 at the San Pedro bait receiver (San Pedro Bait Co.) and the scoop I received from the Quivara Basin bait receiver (Everingham Bros.) were like night and day.

Truthfully, I think Mike (San Pedro) gave me too many... many died off cause too crowded...

...and the guy in Mission Bay was a little light on the scoop, probably could have dropped in a few more... but all in all, rather a lighter scoop and not all die off cause of overcrowding. Next time I may ask Mike to go a little easy...

Get ready to pay $20 for a kayak scoop come June 1st. The kayak scoop is something done low key............a boater could never pull up and say just give me a kayak scoop, I do not need much. It has been a pretty cool thing to offer that is not advertised at all. I'd hoped for $15, but $20 has been decided. Guys working the barge almost always ask me if it is enough and give me an additional dip, so maybe go in on bait and divide after if you don't think you will need 20-25 sardines.

If you thought the lines slowing down service at the barge were long this summer just wait until all the boaters and kayak fisherman with smaller bait tanks clog up the entrance and exit to the barges splitting up the large scoop sizes and collecting cash.

I've never had a problem with the price or customer service at any of their barges but a 100% price increase is a pretty big jump. There are a lot of boaters with small tanks that can't accommodate a half scoop and are going to have the same problem as kayak fisherman.

Why not offer a 1/4 scoop appropriately priced?

Looks like more people are going to be catching their own bait. Its understandable that they may not be making as much profit but 50% of something is better than 100% of nothing. I could be wrong.

Just don't take it out on the guys at the barge. They likely had nothing to do with it. Tip them well and they will take care of you. More often than not they share the most up to date info and tell me to come back if I need more bait.
