top day out,.... nice fish as well. as for the bait, i like it stinky... but have also caught them on fresh...my pro snapper fisher mate, takes his bait out in winter, and leaves it on the grass for 4 days before using it...must be something in it if a proguy does it.got one of my best fish, after accidntly leaving a squid body in my bucket for 3 days in the middle of summer... christ the bloody thing was nearly glowing... bro said out it on a hook, so i did, slung it out and BANG... got nailed in less than a minute, while the bor using fresh squid never got a touch all night.
