Whitebait

[ready4whatever]

Good work,went out today and came home with enough for teaWill head over to the coast in a few weeks to stock up the cold box.

Good cunt, anyone with a photo of a woodstock and whitebait fritters together deserves bling

Rant over - have a great day

This for real? I used to love Whitebait till I read this

Why is this not being pushed? That's a pretty harsh outcome & not really worth it if it is indeed a fact

Good man! The Southern Cross in '05 finished at the lighthouse south of New Plymouth. Early the next morning and starving, I rode straight up to Mokau and for breakfast, had 3 large fritters, a pile of brown bread and butter plus a monster bowl of latte. IMHO, just about the most enjoyable meal I've ever had!

Good lord man!! They are the size of dinner plates & you ate three? lol. Deep pockets aye, those things are bout $14 each ffs lol.

I tried last weekend but i think I was using the wrong gear... What's a good size hook, and is squid ok for bait?

Don't use Skiddy as bait - that's just mean

Personally i see it different Boob,ive a heap of family over the coast and last year they had a bumper season,one of my uncles back in 72 caught 93 pound in a day,he bettered it twice last season.Theres always been good n bad years,there always will be.

After bailing on the Cold Kiwi (my tickets did not arrive - prolly NZ post) I took the boy down to Hawkes Bay and helped the rellies build a new whitebait stand. Good position by all accounts.

Great day but I had to ask "What is the haul so far?" "7" was the reply. "7 kilos, wow" "No, 7 as 1 2 3 4 5 6 7" Clunk.
