Guest Reely Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Windybanks at Mt Colah, trap bait, works out to about $1.70kg, its crappy shite, but buy one pack of normal ones for your bait that you will uise on hooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 cheapest ive seen is prob at wattos, 8 bux for 2kg i think? duno if its still that price.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netic Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Always remember that when cubing the quality of the Pillies are very important...I know that Tony from fishfinder has got some good quality ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tumra Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 It would always be good to get cheap pillies for the berley bucket. But Netic is probably right when he says that you should use the better quality pilchards for cubing. I prefer the snapfrozen pilchards personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big-Banana Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Windybanks is the place to go. Cheap as and you buy in bulk you'll get an even better price. I just buy the individually frozen pillies for the bait and the bulk stuff for cubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just buy the individually frozen pillies for the bait and the bulk stuff for cubes. That's the way to go, use the expensive pillies for the bait and cheapo ones to get the trail going.

Pitty82 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Where abouts is windybanks? DAN Dan, It's on the left hand side of the road when heading north on the old Pacific Highway just down from Macca's at Mt Colah. Have a chat with Rowan, he's a top bloke and will be able to sort you out for anything you could need. Cheers Pitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coollamon Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Watto does a 20kg block for a good price just send him a pm and he will look after you cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livo Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 My local fishmonger sold me a 15 kg box of snap frozen Human Consumption Grade Pillies for $75.00 after I told him how sick I was of buying blocks of WA pillies that turned to mush as they defrosted. They were brilliant and I need another box. I have also bought squid, garfish, bonito and yakkas fresh from the Newcastle Co-op at reasonable prices. Shop around and ask some questions. Sometimes bait sold as bait is dearer than fresh stuff you can buy for human food and the quality is questionable. Of course you need a freezer to keep it in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Good idea, Livo! I was going to suggest trying the chandlery that usually sits somewhere very close to the local fishing Co-op! (or it is here in Forster!) Driving thru Coffs on Wed, I saw pillie blocks advertised for $4/2kg block! You'd have to assume they had been thawed & refrozen, or something else happened to them!

Davy Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) i actually saw pillies today for $3 a kilo, dirt cheap but looked like they'd turn into mush in seconds Edited May 18, 2007 by Davy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
