    They are the ones with tiny legs and can wriggel/crawl up the side of the bucket a bit R93? Inunga that is.

    I know the larger bait you are reffering to I think, Iv only ever heard them reffered to as "flood bait" as they have no probs swimming up a high river.

    I like em one large egg or two small ones to a pound(just enough to hold them together when cooked) with salt and cracked pepper mixed in. Fryed in butter then eaten maybe with a bit of lemon.
    If you need to stretch em out a bit put the patties between two bits of bread

    Like scollop's/oysters or any thing out of water they lose 80% of there flavor as soon as they hit the freazer. Still good tho

    You must have won the shoot for someone to part with that for a prize

    Are you serious???? I have never seen it or even heard it mentioned. Run bait, late in the season will scale a bucket. I am sure they wriggle their way up, not climb.

    I will keep an eye out this season.

    I'm keen to try a recipe that doesn't involve eggs, I like my bait patties, but seems a bit of a waste just to overpower them with egg all the time.....
    Anybody have a different way of cooking thier bait?

    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.
