Where Can I Buy Live Bait at Catalina?

[ThanksKK]

Any help would be appreciated. I'm headed out to Catalina tomorrow and I know there's gotta be live bait somewhere in Avalon. Anybody know where to to? If possible, gps coordinates and /or radio channel would be nice. I'm interested in live anchovies or sardines, but squid would be a bonus. Thanks in advance.
