Sometimes you have to give in

During the hot spell I went to Whitehaven Pier with some freshly dug Lugworm for what ever was on the bottom a nice Plaice or Bass well after 2 casts nothing yet the mackerel where in and I had to bite the bullet and chuck the feathers out and I'm glad I did in all had 20 mackerel in the end with the small ones going back without being touched I kept the rest for tea and bait. I'm on the lookout for a cheap bait freezer.
