Showing my ignorance here but are slipper limpits the same as the limpits you see anywhere there is a rocky beach? Whitecliff bay is teeming with them. Are they any good to use at this time of year?  |

No mate, slipper limpets are the ones you see on shingle beaches along the south coast. Usually empty shells in their thousands but after a storm you often get them washed up, often clumped together. Them is the time to gather a few live ones and bung them in the freezer for later use.

They look like this:  Good bass bait on shallow beaches during or immediately after stormy weather. |

I have used these with some success, either banging loads on the hook and tipping with a sliver of squid to keep it on the hook or for tipping lug.
Never had anything big on it but it has caught small smuts and bass.
I have heard of people filling up jam jars with it and letting it get really smelly (I would imagine this would toughen it up too) and also storing them in salt.
Not tried this myself though.
All I can say is don't rule them out!
