BHT Distribution is the exclusive distributor of "Point Defiance Bait" for S.E. Alaska and has supplied the bait market in S.E. Alaska since the year 2000. Point Defiance Bait Co., Tacoma, Washington, takes great pride in putting up some of the finest quality frozen herring that is available.
All bait is So. Puget Sound caught, starved, processed and flash frozen locally during the fall and winter months and stored in cold storage to be distributed in the spring. Marty Sanbeck of Pt Defiance Bait has been in the herring fishery for twenty five plus years and takes great care and pride in hand brailing his product insuring that the herring are firm and have minimal scale loss for the flash the good fishermen and guides look for. As avid S.E. Alaska fishermen we know what quality bait is. Firm bait with good color and good scales is a key to good fishing that we strive to deliver. We supply to small and large customers alike. We offer cases lots of red (5-6 inch), greens (6-7 inch), blues (7-8 inch) and purple herring (8-9inch).
Herring comes in tray pack 12 per tray except purple which is packed 8 to a tray. Our commercial customers as well as several large guide services have been loyal customers for these past several years. I know that many of you have built up customer relationships with other suppliers over the years but, I am inviting you to try something maybe a little better. We are very service and quality orientated and if you are looking for the best we feel that we have it. We would look forward to hearing from you if you have any questions or interest in our product.
