I know that packet bait is crap.But I don't know which is the best crap to buy.Going away camping for a few days no freezer or fridge what vaccuumed pack none refridgerated bait would be most likely to catch a fish or would I be better off to salt some bait(mullet etc.) down myself.

Depending on where you are, is it possible to take a small bait rod with some sabiki flies to catch fresh herring for bait as you need it?

Well put Chris, the packet stuff is shit, if you want to catch "jack shit" use shit bait. If you want to enjoy your fishing, take fresh frozen stuff. I use a chillie and take frozen bait away for a week....... No fridge, or freezer.

Or catch fresh bait on sabikis

If you take a couple (or more) of large 2 litre plastic soft drink bottles, fill them with water and freeze them, you will be surprised how long they will keep a chilly box or chilly bag cold. Wrap the bait in plenty of newspaper, this makes brilliant insulation, and remember only take out what you will use, keeping the rest very cold. This works for me and will keep bait fresh for a surprising length of time.

Try GULP! Or at a pinch salted skipjack tuna. Gurnard love it.

The snapper don't know where the car park is!
Sometimes it is better to travel than to arrive.
