Thread: Whitebait Condiments

i love the the bannter about white baiting every one has differnet idears of what they are.i spent 5 years learning about them and growing them up,they are actualy the juveniles stage of 5 natvie fish part of the galaxiid family inanga would make up most of the white bait catch then ther are koaro and the are the ones that climb out of ya bucket they are all so known to climb out of the water up waterfalls ,then thers the Banded kokopu he also climbs but not as good,and shortjaw kokopu is one of the rearest if not the most rear out of the 5 ,and the bigest and have know to get as big as 500mm is the gaint kokopu and hes mostly found on the west cost of the south island,this would explain the different taste i would say,sorry for the banter but i love to spreed the word of these miss understood fish that has no protection so catch only what u can eat,
but back on to the subjet i love it when its st8 out of the water in to a egg and on to a hot plate real butter on the bread and salt mmmmmm.o man cant wait to the river drops and i can start building the stand.
