 Yep, that's some spendy bait Gary

 Spoons, hootchies, and plugs for me.

 I do prefer a button herring on front hook for hootchies when the coho show up in Sept.

 Halibut only opens a few day a year for us, so don't need much bait for that

 Last year my fresh bait guy went to $8 for a small scoop of live herring. I'll still buy from him cause I want him to stay in business.

 3 years ago I bought a roto-molded 400qt Grizzly cooler for $420. That same cooler is now $850 !!

My brother-in-law runs Spot Prawn pots around Hope AK.  I taught him how to throw a cast net.
 He took one back to AK with him and has been using it to catch shrimp bait.

Thanks for your comments,  just the chance to go fishing 🎣 is priceless.
  As mentioned,  bait can be diy.  For me it's the seed to start the Gary's food chain started.    Take the first scraps,  it's crab 🦀 bait, or shrimp 🍤.  The shrimp can be tied to a hook as well,  we generally buy 18 kilos of large herring in the early spring at about 2$ pound, plus air fare.   Butt this year I missed it as I was in Oregon doing medical stuff for quite a while.
  Here's the results of a plan that worked.  One average dungy crab can yield 10.5 ounces of delicious 😋 meat.

 Love them dungees Gary !!

 Retail dungeness prices have gone absolutely bonkers. My local store is $35-40 for one average size dungeness crab. Costco king crab was $18.99 a pound last year. This year it's $38.99 a pound. Only rich folks can afford them these days. Heck, I can't even afford imitation crab meat.

I haven't bought herring for several years. I run hoochies behind a flasher for salmon and naked jigs for halibut. I do just fine and my hands don't get stinky! Lately I've been using slow pitch jigs for salmon. They work. If I really need herring, I'll jig some up...
