Winco Foods, at the back near the deli counter, frozen sea foods, a blue bag of frozen mussel meat, already shelled. There are boxes of pre cooked mussels that have butter and garlic on them, but they are still in the shell, and aren't quite as easy to hook up, plus you have the shells to dispose of.
The bag of mussel meat is about $2.68 a bag. Cheaper than 24 night crawlers at Wal-Mart. I usually get a bag out of the freezer the night before I plan on hitting WB, open it and put about half in a zip lock bag to take with me. If the Cats and Wiper are hitting, a half bag could result in 20 or more fish.
One additional bit of info on mussels. Unless you hook them up on a treble hook, and sometimes even then, if you cast out like from the shore to the water, you will loose a lot of the mussels off the hook before it even hits the water. If you can drop them off the side of a slow drifting or anchored boat, they stay hooked up longer.
