lol .. I asked for that ..remember reading a post last year very little being caught from the beaches and reports of a large shoal of the stuff about a mile out ..just wonder if anyone had tried them as er bait

large shoal of the stuff about a mile out

large shoal of white bait ? are we talking about whiting here

if so i often use the offcuts after filleting only problem is i only ever catch more whiting with the stuff,its as good as maccy on the visual side but lacks the smell if im barking up the wrong tree just kick me and ill lie down

Forget whitebait, go for their sprats and mount them on a small pennel - if you pick the right sort of storm beach during the right conditions you\'ll get some cracking runs!
