Think as long as it didn't thaw out you'll be fine. It goes to mush very easily.

get a squid and pull off the head, then get the body, skin it and stuff it with any old bait "squid sausage"
A great bait..... use up all your old worm and stuff......
I used to collect mussell and do this but scraping out the flesh with a spoon with frozen fingers eventually put me off :lol: :lol: :? :?
A good debate here ....
is fresh bait better than old?
In nature things die and get washed about ... a buddy had a crackin bass on a very smelly sand eel!?!?! :oops:
Mullet go mad for rotting macs???!!!??? :twisted:
Next time i find a dead seal i will cut some Goujons off it!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Its a great bait for the mullet float fished the mushier and more rotten the better just cut it up into chuncks throw it over a pier or rock mark where you see some mullet swimming around and they will come right up and suck it up like a hoover lol
