Same here. Gone from the days of opening my chest freezer and seeing 100kg plus of boilies to now seeing no boilies but 50 peelers vac packed into 5's,  5 packs of English squid, 10 wraps of frozen blacks, 4 packs sandeel,  2 pack mackerel and 4 packs of anchovies.

Not a fan of bluey if I'm honest,  prefer anchovies or sprat.  

I've just had to top mine up, squid, blueys, soft shell crab and black lug.

I'm happy with shelf life boilies in my chosen food bait now.

For years it had to be freezer baits, but after catching as many on decent shelfies, I was happy to switch.

As for sea fishing, I do catch a fair few fish on squid and bluey or squid and crab. The thornbacks do like them!

Rigs are all tied and ready on the pb jelly wire, did alright with the the jelly wire previously so it's my first choice, all sitting in the box having a straightener, pretty much ready to go bar the arrival sandwich I take for afternoon lunch on the first day.

Ohh out tomorrow as a proper non smoker, two weeks since giving up the vapes and what an improvement, the hospital consultant said it was vaping that was causing the issue proper not keen on vaping longterm.

Bought a oxygen level monitor hitting all the right numbers on a walk so I doubt I have any serious damage beyond ageing.
