Hi all,
Normally off the beach I use the standard fare for bait (pilchards, squid, worms) but I've always wondered what other fish would make decent dead baits.
I've heard that mullet, tailor, salmon, and yakka fillets work ok when fresh but how would they fare after a couple weeks in the freezer? Maybe salting would help?
Fresh is always best but sometimes I just don't have time to catch bait before a session. Nowadays I can't go past a fishmonger without thinking what would make a decent bait.
Just curious what anyone else has tried.
