Rob Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Now, I'm not one for wasting bait or potential bait. However, I have a freezer full of minced fish, heads and muck for rubby dubby. Not needing anymore and having a surplus of mackerel a number of weeks ago I posted on a local Facebook group that I had 20 fresh mackerel heads and guts if anybody could make use of them. When prepping macs for eating I cut behind the head through the spine and then along to anal fin, this is quick and clean leaving the body of meat and guts/belly flap still attached to the head. Well, I could have got rid of these heads 5 times over. First to answers was a local beach angler, and not having access to fresh macs easily from the shore he was please for a bag of bass baits. I was glad not to fill the food waste bin with fish. Anyway, Sam is my go to Mac head guy, he has been a few times now and usually I am out when he is passing, I leave by the gate and when I get home they are gone. Today I had 4 from yesterday and I finally met him. Nice chap, as you can imagine we talked fishing for a bit and he was on his way. This is a great way to recycle fish baits and reduce waste, plus saves the beach guys spending £2.50 on a couple of macs. Win win as far as I am concerned and I will hopefully be supplying him with more over the coming weeks. Just a thought if any of you guys have waste fish, one man's waste is another man's bait.

Rob Posted August 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Be nice, but not sure those beach guys carry ice so I'd rather know how it has been kept. Made a delicious Bass teriyaki last night (the fresh ginger makes it!):https://www.kikkoman.co.uk/recipes/all/wok-fried-teriyaki-sea-bass/Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
