Try calling around to some local SeaFood wharehouses. Also I think that Japanese store in Beaverton can get them for you.

If you get a quote on a case price let us know. I hate paying $4 for a 3 pack every trip out. [img]graemlins/berry.gif[/img]

A buddy just told me a Japanese company is putting a sardine processing plant in the Vancouver area. Should be a resorce. PS, The smaller ones work good as wraps or fished whole like Herring. Don't get stuck thinking you need those biggies.

I'll go in and do some vac-packing if you line some up.

I'll check where my buddy got his last batch. They were much smaller than the jumbos you get at FM and GI Joes. They seemed to work much better to!

Howdy,I used to get sardines from Pacific Safood on Powell before 39th.They were going for about 50 cents a pound.

Go to Uwajamaya's asian supermarket. Food grade, 3 bucks for 4 or 5 large ones. I think you have one in Beaverton.

I know D & G bait company did sell bulk sardines in 50# box at one time. Not sure if they still do.

I've got a couple of 5 gallon bucketsful vacumn sealed and in the bait freezer. When you are down here fishing buoy 10 or the ocean, just drop by any of the canneries and they'll sell you a bucket full for little or nothing. The sardine boats usually hit the docks from 3:00 until midnight.

Just picked up some at Bornstiens Seafood in Astoria. I bought 5 - 22lb boxes for $30.80. They are located behind Fisher Brothers. If you stop in to get some make sure you tell them they are for crab bait. Otherwise they will try to charge you $15 per box.

What you don't use for salmon save for crab bait. The commercial crabbers use them with good success.

Does anybody know of someplace local that we can get Bulk sardines, or bulk packaged sardines?

Jettin' Fool · 03-04-2003, 09:05 PM

My buddy hooked me up with 30lbs for 25$. His brother knows a guy at I believe was Ocean Beauty. You may want to call there and check it out.

They are good for springers (Kwikfish Wraps) they are super crab bait, and they ain't bad on your cornflakes,,,,,,,,LOL Most all the canneries on the coast sell em for commercial crab bait,,,,squid too.
