Hi all, i used to get chum boxes for $3 each, now they are up to $7
each! so i'm looking for a good place to buy chum in the keys. i'm
willing to buy in cases, probably 2-3 cases at a time (that's about 18
boxes of chum at a time). i'm googling everywhere and the best i've
found is Tiny's in Islamorada which has it at $30 a case and Keys
Fisheries in Marathon that has it at $28 a case. I'm closer to
islamorada so i prefer tiny's. however, i'd like to find it less
expensive if possible. any ideas? i'm really trying to find
somewhere i can buy it wholesale, but no luck so far. thanks for any
advice!

The charter guys use tons and have it delivered by a company that I can't
remember the name of. I would suggest just dropping by holiday Isle or
whale harbour about 4PM and askign them.
