WHAT A YEAR!!!!

Wow, what a Year it has been. I abandoned the blog last year because we had our website us and running and were posting reports there and also on Bloodydecks.com Allcoast.com SenorTuna.com and 976- tuna.com. Whew.... However, upon googling the company, this is the first hit. So I thought I'd update all you Google-rs!



Since it's inception Last May the Long Beach Bait Company has grown. Provider finished off the bait season strong in September- but by then we realized we needed more capacity to accommodate the Sport fleet and Private boaters. After a successful squid season, Tom, Richie and Jamie didn't miss a beat. The began the receiver and boat project. To simplify things Here's the short List:



RECEIVER:

*Removed the steel pilings on back side and carpeted- more tie up space and less risk to boats.

*Repaired wells, zinc etc- general maintenance

* DOUBLED CAPACITY- We should always have some bait. Gives a chance to Cure.



PROVIDER:

* Added refrigeration for commercial season.

* Added 2nd generator

*DOUBLED CAPACITY - added 2nd fish hold, dialed in plumbing and electrical.



We have more LOYALTY CARDS, so Ask Paul for a punch the next time you see him. If you want to email me, I'd be happy to mail them to your house (along with some stickers)



The receiver will be fully functional at the end of April.

Many squid live fast and die young -- their entire life cycle takes just one year. After male and female mate, they usually die.

Thanks again for all the business!
