I would prefer to haul in a few decent size fish than be constantly pulling in tiddlers that would bearly be enough to make a fish finger. I reckon if little fish are pulling at the bait it attracts bigger fish so try to use big baits that they can't get their mouths around, although the little feckers still manage it at times - a few weeks ago I got a 4 inch whiting on a 5/0 hook!!!!!!

On the other hand some of us have to be grateful for the tiddlers! Great fishing Rockhunter, makes me wish my brother was still living in Cork.
