I honestly can’t remember it’s been awhile since I have bought them from there. The ones at my local servo do the job just fine
The BCF salted whitebait also kept coming off, glad I still brought my trusty squid with me! No luck though, did not get any bites.

I have salted them more and placed it in the freezer, hopefully that should make it more firm

Do you recommend that mesh thing?

Don’t know what to say mate. I haven’t got any of the white bait I usually use but will have to take a pic for you next time I have some. You shouldn’t have to use any bait mate or mesh. I have never had any trouble with it staying on the hook and have caught pinkies, whiting, salmons, big snapper flatties, everything with it.

I looked up techniques with fishing poppers, they seem effective for slowly reeling. Did not ser any people saying to leave it in the water.

I am thinking of using poppers on both hooks on the patternoster and then after an hour, change over to bait. I will try this pattern and see how it goes

No, I feel like I am doing something wrong. I believe it is the poppers.

87 pages in and I think the fish must have clued onto your tricks now mate. Try feeding them popcorn, there is plenty going here.
