Dhutchy Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hiya Raiders, I was in a fishing store the other day, chatting with the helpful assistant, about catching live bait. Despite selling things marked Bait Nets he said to get live bait you need to use a rod and bait jigs. My look suggested that this seemed to contradict selling bait nets - but I didn't have the time, and he didn't have the willingess to discuss. So what is the consensus from the legendary Fishraider braintrust on bait. He also said that to really get squid you should use a squid jig and a pillie. Whaddaya reckon? Thanks and regards Dhutchy Its not about catching fish, but it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew399 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 By bait nets you mean cast nets?? because they are illegal in NSW. If they were bait traps then they are ok and are average at catching poddies, but have not seen them used on yakka's etc. I would agree with the tackle shop guy, a bait jig is the easiest way to catch bait fish and a small hook under a float is the best way to get poddies. As for squid i use jigs and have never really tried the pillie on a spike method... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forliano Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Yeah mate, bait jigs are the way to go... The Squid thing hasn't proved too successful for me personally, but have seen people clean up with it... Comes down to what the fish/squid want when your there I suppose, and how well you can sell your bait/jib/lure to them... Cheers Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
