I received some investment literature from Peter but they only want relatively big money (for me that is) and you have to sign off on a non guaranteed / high risk agreement.

I`ve been watching SeaBait for some years now and they could go big but I cannot afford the initial investment or the risk.

I tryed them last year and will not go back.
The blood is GREEN the worms are Green.A lot of the tails were broken , put them next to a wild one and you will be shocked.
As long as the wild are available I'll stick with them.
I had to leave my seaworm guy last year (after 20 years) found out he was giving me smaller worms and another shop larger quality.
As soon as I left he was begging and promissed the quality would improve. Told him to take a hike.
The new Guy Quality is better in size and freshness. I was able to lower my prices by 20%

You'll have to change your screen name to "Mr. Sandwormman," of course....

Now your talking just keep it outside of MA .
If you do it here in MA they will find a way to tax you out.

You gotta see the reports we have to fill out each Mo. for bait.

Fresh , frozen, Who from , Lic #s ,buy price and sell price. and if we miss a report they hold our Lic for the next year. we can't catch our owne bait any longer we have to buy from lic persons. this state is going down hill fast.

I gotta agree with mikecc. I bought some last year and was not impressed. Small and weak....did not last. Not to say that they can't and won't improve and certainly nothing against Pete S. I think he's great and I buy from him whenever I get the chance. They just aren't for me.....yet.

I would give them another try if I had a few of Sandy's Sandies!
