I find the ones you buy in 5kg boxes are better for some reason. Maybe if you guys are keen to split a box? will never use 5kg aha, or should i say, i hope we do ;)
Chunks of herring are probably my favorite bait for pinkies, but the downside is stingrays can smell herring for miles away and snaffle them up. Blue mackerel are probably my favorite all round fish bait though.
when i caught pinkies in the sound, the stomachs were full of yellowtail and gardies. Suprised to see gars in there, they are pretty quick fish when on the fly.
I might just use gardies. I've never caught any gardies yet but what would work best, sinking burley cage or floating? Would squid be best bait for gardies?

Gardies and whiting are a feed in themselves. The blue mackerel is good enough, works for me!
