Yeah the season on the east coast runs from the 1st Sep through until the end of October, what part of the country are you visiting?

I still remember the picture that the last time I saw your cooked white baits. It seemed locals do `t really like Chives right? In my home town we usually will cook fresh water shrimps which is small like white baits in the way like yours with Chives.

I don't know of anyone who uses chives when cooking whitebait, having said that you Chinese people sure know how to cook a good feed so I would be willing to try your recipes.

I never tried this before with white baits, so I do `t know if using chives is a good idea since you people has doing it for so many years. Just a thought because I think fresh water shrimps and white baits are similar then maybe the same principle could apply to both. I like cooking, so always has some ideas. I think in the weekend, near any Asian supermarket there should be someone selling their home grown chives, at least in Christchurch is.

However your approach to catch white baits I should use it in China to catch fresh water shrimps, particularly in the mountain streams and rivers. I should make one since the counting days left in here before go back to NZ, and cold fresh water shrimp now is fat and tasty. Good luck for your whitebaiting and I am looking forward to your...

Yeah Maca I got to the mouth at low tide and had to go out front because there was about 60 people there.

I did the first 4 hours of incoming tide then called it a day.

I had the wetsuit on and scooping in the mouth, got some pretty good sholes.

Ha ha, I just had a big feed and shit they were nice (I made a pig of myself).

The big bag in the photo went to the farmer who lets me shoot on his property, he is a top bloke and it was the least I could do.
