TENNANT 29 Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 I keep reading how whiting prefer fresh squid, just how fussy can they be. I have kept Squid in the freezer for months and still tasted pretty good to me. doobie 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wert 470 Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 In my experience under 32cm KGs will eat 2 day old dog turd in the middle the day on a dodge tide, over 32cm however.... they may well be fussy but I reckon it's just a thing people say when they suck at catching them. mrfish and TENNANT 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Territory Lad 1,137 Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 I have fished with a guy who refuses to throw out unused bait, so more often than not he is using re-frozen (sometimes multiple times over) baits. Whether it be squid, cockles or something else and he brains them! I have been on the same boat fishing the same bait for donuts, while he regularly pulls up fish. Quality, fresh bait is always going to be best, but experience trumps everything. TENNANT and Soobz 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yellow door 1 1,786 Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 A mate of Mine and Doobies called Dave went out 2 days ago, for a short session with a mate and got outfished 13 to 0. Same baits, same boat, same everything - they even swapped rods at one stage. So sometimes the striking technique you have chosen for that day, doesnt match up with the way the fish are feeding and it can make one bloke think they were timid and another think they were bighting well TENNANT and Squid Inc. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reminds me of a guy I use to fish with, he could have caught fish in a bucket of mud. He always claimed that it was the oils in your skin that rubbed off on the baits and that his tasted better. And those guys that do every thing right, but can not get a bite, tasted like fish repellent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
