Couriers them down kick ass on most specis off chisel thru summer till autumn bream plaice gurnard cod hounds trigger at sole sometimes fable with a bit of razor for tipping rag for bream but these are the main baits ps it depresses me if I have to buy mackerel as much prefer to catch and freeze depends on how good the seasons been orso take gar for whiteing in winter they love it ?

No nearly all the fishing near me is for carp anyway. I am about an hour and a half by auto route to the closest sea fishing area.

We signed up to the Anglo Info web site for ex-pats some years ago, and I think I've seen some fishing threads on there.

No garage or utility space - I've got a small shed that is overflowing with gardening gear, lawn mower, and other stuff I can't keep indoors. No power to it either, and in too much of an awkward location to run a permanent supply to it.

You need one that runs off a usb and a power bank. ;)

What is the issue with non human food going into the deep freeze?

Slim upright freezer. Not enough room in it for stuff we want to freeze or buy so she says, so I can't see me stealing space for an amount of Mackerel, Squid, Worms and whatever other frozen bait you care to name. It's a woman thing, like it's OK for her stuff to be tucked in every nook and cranny around the house, but if it's my stuff, it goes under the general heading of 'junk'.

I once had a dogfish jump out of the fridge and land on the spaniel ???

I read somewhere that somebody had a Dogfish jump out of the fridge a full day after they had put it in there. Their nervous system can twitch a long time after they are dead apparently. :(:(

I know exactly where you are coming from.
 
I have been thinking about this and my bait years ago only consisted of blow lug, mussel and squid. Squid I reluctantly bought the other two I could collect myself.
In the freezer I now have tackle shop bought squid, mackerel, bluey and some sandeel. Supermarket whitebait off the cheap shelf, three launce caught by me and some rainbow trout to try out as a result of a knackered freezer so thought no point in wasting it.
No blacks and I seldom manage to dig lug, kills my back these days. Hopefully the bait pump might help that.
Strange how things change, finances mostly and time to collect, must try a bit hardrr this year.
