Re: Whiting as Bait
tried them a couple of years ago when there seemed to be a plague of them.
Did the classic thing of small hook attaced to big hook hair rig style.
Was not long before rod tip was gisving a little nod to signify a bait fish had attached itself.
Within ten minutes rod pulls round and I struck into a - doggie.
After repeating this half a dozen times I gave up.
Reckon the dogs were just glad to get a chance to snaffle the little buggers.
