KGW best frozen bait to use ?

[Grasshopper67]

Hi can someone advise me on best frozen bait to use when fishing for whiting. I know fresh is best for KGW and I have had success using fresh mussels/squid etc....but it’s not always easy to get fresh off the rocks mussels and I may not always land some fresh squid....so if I have to buy frozen bait then what frozen bait is best to catch KGW?

Is there a lure or soft plastic that is effective as an alternative ?

If you must use frozen then the humble packet of prawns is your best bet, I've caught Whiting on them at St Leonards.

Yup, what hornet said.
Also sand beach worm is good.

landbased worms go alright as well

without a doubt best frozen bait is pippis. pippis also better than fresh squid in my opinion. all based on experience. i know people who love using little pilchard fillets with a cocktail of pippi or squid. try and cover all bases, never found that fresh bait has made too much a difference with whiting fishing. note squid is better when you have the pesky leather jackets in plague numbers

Frozen pippies work great

Mate, I've found a box of them frozen California squid from the servo to be realy good. Great value and catches whiting and snapper no problem, you gotta cut them into strip's though. I love the frozen pippies too but find them anoying to open and they come off too easy if I cast hard. Frozen prawns are great but you don't get many bait up from them and they come off easy to bottom pickers too.

With frozen pipis, at the ramp I will put them in bucket of sea water , by the time I get to fishing spot pipis r unfrozen n easy to open.
I will generally open 20 pipis n put the meat on bait board n schell's in water for burly.
