Bait! It's whats for dinner!

I am building a sabiki rod and would love to be able to catch some  bait/food (had some great grilled sardines in spain).  what is the general drill?  cast into the school, jig?

Good to hear I'm not the only one who likes to eat baitfish. Sardines, Herring, Anchovy are all real tasty.

My favorite bait food? Smelt! Gutted, soaked briefly in milk, salt and pepper then fried crispy whole. YUM!

So whats your favorite bait recipe?

I do similar with sand dab!

Smoked herring or smelt.  Grilled 'dines with a drizzle of olive oil.  Mmmm mmmm good.

Grilled with salt, olive oil and lemon, with a yakionigiri,  asparagus/artichokes or fiddleheads, and a cold lager or a crisp white wine.

I love all(most) food.  Can you be an Asianophile if you are of Asian (in this case Chinese) heritage?
I was trying to think of my favorite starchy food/ carbohydrate to go with grilled fish - A really crusty batard like what you would get in Aix-en-Provence or Marseilles would go miles as well.  Just so happens that I heart rice.

Making homemade kipper snacks has always intrigued me. Found this article on the net.
