Frozen herring or anchovy?
Frozen herring or anchovy?
Anybody know locally where to find frozen herring or anchovy for bait? Not the stuff at Food Basic. I know Gord use to carry it but I am having a hard to finding anywhere else.
Re: Frozen herring or anchovy?
Asian grocery stores carry some decent smelt (caught in Canada) that I use quite a bit. Doesn't stay on the hook very well for casting, but works fine for bobber fishing and Gar. Try the T&T or Kowloon markets.

Nope.
I have been using whole frozen sardines, cutting them into fillets, brining them and then trimming them to use as cut bait for salmon. I have a batch soaking now, for tomorrow's Lake Ontario trip. Would love to find herring.

Maybe try asking Gord where he used to order them from. I know in the past that at the bait shop in Kaz Bob told me his frozen cisco/herring were from BC but I don't know who he ordered them through as there are several suppliers there. Likely bulk orders only though.

I used to order them from KTL out of Toronto. They got them from here..... http://www.berrysbait.com/
You had to order in bulk. I used to get 36 packs of each size and always sold 'em all. As you well know, Quebec has now prohibited the use of these for bait as of this year.
good luck in your search!
