Tuna Bellies

I need some tuna bellies for bait.  If you are going or if you have some please let me know.

I need a minimum of 2 gallons.

I am in Puyallup but I fish up and down I5 and the harbor.   Right now everything is kind of down.  I was down at Castle Rock fishing the Cow.  I will PM you.

About all I use em for is crab/craw pots, but haven't dropped any pots in awhile. I've used them on KwikFish wraps before, but fish'd the Plug Cuts for springers this year,I put some old loin I had in them with my secret sauce. My brother smokes his bellys, they actualy have a good flavor with kind of a smoked oyster texture, but I can only eat so much of it. I still save the bellys for some reason :dunno: Buddies call me a fish hoarder.

Bait?

Man, they taste delicious! I'm not sure I could, in good conscious give tuna bellies away for bait when they belong in my freezer.

You're crazy!  Have you thrown one on the BBQ/Smoker with a light amount of seasoning? No way would I be using those tasty bellies for bait!!!!!!   :dunno:
