What kind of 'smelly' bate do you suggest?

Rotting fish, rotting chicken guts, two day dead worms - if you want the
bait to last longer then get a dog-bone from the butcher, wrap it in plastic
and leave in the sun for a couple of days. I have heard of blue-cheese
scraps being used but I have never tried them.

Soft baits are best wrapped in some onion netting.

Cheerio,
