From where to buy herrings bait?

[dbonnic]

I am new to the forum so excuse me If don't know how to use the forum well. I used to buy herrings in plastic boxes which I added to my ground bait from Pirotta.? It was very good for inshore fishing.? Now that Pirotta doesn't have I cannot find from where to buy.? Do someone know from where I can buy? Sometimes I used sardines, however the herrings are better. Thanks?

Hi and welcome to the forum. Not being a shore angler myself I'll ask a stupid question! Were the Herrings you used to buy in a plastic box, dried or normal oiled herrings? Coz you might want to try Smart Supermarket or Scotts perhaps and get some herrings in a tin?!

The ones I used were dried however I will try those in the tin it could be that they have the same effect. Thanks

Hi dbonnic
You can get hold of some herring at the fish market in valletta or you can go to a fish monger and ask him if he can get you some.
I use cabansa which is minced sardines in salt water which i used to buy from fishing world in naxxar.

for herrings, sardines and Lacci  try the Koperattiva Sajjieda MXlokk.
