Does anyone know anybody that sells and ships decent sized frozen ribbons? The few places I usually order from are completely out. Thanks in advance.

Bait Masters of south florda have them. We buy ballyhoo and mullet from them all the time, great baits and there shipping isn't to bad.

what are you looking to pay? I used to sell them but stopped fishing for them. Might be interested if there is a market again (people stopped wanting to pay ANYTHING for bait when market crashed, kingfish tournies are much smaller with much less paypout now)

We always preferred the smaller when we could find the smaller ones won't be long and you can catch you're own but to be honest our better fish comes off live bait ...still pull one just to say we did ...

Baitmasters is out of ribbonfish. The guy I talked to said his guys were having a hard catching any small enough to package and ship.
The smaller ribbons work but I was taught long ago, bigger bait-bigger fish. Live bait is key and we usually have a tank full. The bait in sc this time of year can be hard to find or to small to pull. Some of the better days I've had kingfishing were the days we overslept and said screw the pogies, we have 30 ribbons.

Sorry about that usually don't buy them just remeber seeing them on there website at one point. Im with the other guys though, spend the time and get the live bait, in the end it will usually pay off :thumbsup:
