What are these ?

Collecting Slipper Limpet today & came across a huge bunch of these all attached to a large rope that had been washed up.
What are they ?
I guess some form of Mussel ?
Most important question - any good as bait ?

Re: What are these ?

They are almost certainly `goose barnacles`. I have found these on drift wood in the past!!
They attach themselves to Debi's on the sea bed and often get washed up when dislodged.

Re: What are these ?

Well done solehunter
Just googled them and they are indeed goose barnacles.
they drif here from warmer seas where they are considered a delacacy and are usually dead on arrival due to our colder waters.
Nice one,ive never seen them before ,even when i lived on the balmy Yorkshire riviera.
