This reminds me of a silverfish but was found on  the rocks  at Sai Kung on 17th July 2010. Any ID help appreciated.  Thanks

a very common fish bait for kids......

Many thanks kw_lam. Very instructive. Thanks AndrewL  - plenty around on the rocks.

and some of sophisticated fishers do as well

really? I thought nobody bother to pick them on rocks anymore and would go for 沙蠶(青蟲) as they are readily available from retail shops.  When I was a kid sea slater, clams, sea snails are the only option on the beach as fish bait but I must say sea slaters are best as they last a long time in water and not  breaking apart like snail or clam meat.

yup, those veterans sweep a batch of them (using sweepter) though cracks and rocks and put them in sleeky pot in reserve, instead of picking them one by one. since this is a favourite bait to some of specific fishes which fisher are looking for.

I saw this action long time ago at the concrete sea shore near pier.  But nowadays I wonder if any people would do this kind of thing.  Anyway the number of sea slater seems to be decreasing.

some traditional fisher may still do so, but i agree this is certainly not for younger fishing passionate. Such kind of thing is troublesome and significantly their odor is quite not easy to stand....

and they bite  
I laid on a rock at night on a remote island in hk few week ago, I saw several of this thingy running around on the rock, and suddenly I felt my back was bit by something...and found this thingy ran under my tee and bit me  

the likes of 黃腳鱲 (Yellow-fin seabream) and 火點 (Russell Snapper) are attracted by sea slaters while bottom feeders like groupers are mroe keen on shrimps and worms
