kipper

[dabhanded]

come on lads dont laugh have you tried it apparently works well for flounders in the rivers never tried it myself

[dabcatcher]

through the winter months it was always one of the top flounder baits in the wear.

smoked mackerel always did well also

[steve w]

I've caught whiting,dabs,codling,rockling and pike(13lbs biggest) on kipper!

[sultzer]

[Mike_N]

hmm my dad used to swear by kipper back in the days and had a 16lb and 12lb cod on it aswell which is unheard of now a days.

Think I'll definatly give it a go for flounders though

[Centuryld]

I wouldn't use Craster kippers for bait.....far too tasty !

[woodsy]

used kipper and trout, good for reef conger.

Summertime on the Essex sunshine coast, kipper was one of the best baits for big bass when I lived there. It also worked at felixstowe and northwards to the mouth of the river.

as we are on about kipper trying to keep the cost down a bit as i can see kippers making a comeback here,
the obvious quest has got to be whats the best method to use to catch kippers

Funny you should mention craster. I fished off the pier their last year and an old boy who lived there told me to try it. It did catch some small coalies and a couple of flounders on just kipper, but then i have seen a flounder caught of Warkworth pier on a piece of Sweetcorn. Try experimenting with it. I find on the Northeast coast a big slice of sprat is a good tipping bait for flounder and dabs ion winter, and those small squid used whole have there day aswell. Perhaps its a bit expensive for bait though, Mackerel is free in summer!

Ok lads never heard of this one before but am now gonna give it go,
Just a couple of questions though how would you present it and how much.

Cheers al GeorgeM.

Either use them whole on a pennel rig or slice them into 1cm section for tipping off with. They are best whipped on lightly with bait elastic as they can fly off otherwise.
