Guest linton Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hey Raiders, Which live bait do you prefer to use on the bridle rig off the rocks. WHY?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh88 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Never really rock fished but in general i went with other and would probably use squid. I prefer to use it and catch a lot of them so they're my number one bait most of the time, i wouldn't say no to a slimey though and prefer them over yakkas. They seem to be favoured by more fish, and they are more fun to catch especially on really light line Cheers Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evets Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) Hi Linton, Slimies for me. Why ?? Slimies dont have lots of fin spikes for the predatory fish to avoid when eating them. Slimies can be eaten by predatory fish any way they can catch them but yakkas are head first only. I thought this for a long time but only had confirmation of this when I watched Al McGlashin in his livebaiting Stikezone video. If you havent seen this DVD I highly recomend it. AWESOME!!!!

A.dawg Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hey Raiders, Which live bait do you prefer to use on the bridle rig off the rocks. WHY?? Slimeys because they are easier to put on the hook doesnt hurt ur hand wen u put them on the hook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewgaffer Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I prefer to have both slimies and yellowtail in my live bait for the day, but that's easier to say than do as it's harder to find slimies than it is to find yakkas. I dorsel hook live bait and use two hooks to keep the line and shank flat down for a head take rigging them so that the bottom hook is facing the tail and the livie is swimming away from me except when trolling when they have to be swimming towards the boat.

whi7eindustries Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Slimies, basically they have more fish oil in their flesh, therefore much more attractive to predatory fish, this is't what i think its a fact. Its also why its one of the worlds most popular shark and berley baits, use them in your berley and you'll see the oil slick travel for kilometers at sea.

g.t. Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Slimies for sure... Unfortunately I usually don't have the luxury of choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Off the rocks it's gotta be slimies, if you can get the buggers. If there is slimies on the ledge at night, there's predators on the ledge by day. Never seen long tails or cobes smashing bait balls of yakkas, btu seen the longtails in particular smashing, slimies and gars. Has anyone heard of Marlin falling for other baits, exept bonnies and frigates off the rocks ? Would like to know of some other options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hottyscotty Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 is catching live bait off sydney rock ledges possible? when you watch lbg videos from places like jervis bay for example, you see them catch bait at their feet from where they would be fishing. i've never been able to source bait from the same fishing spot, always had to transport them from elsewhere.

Most spots have something there. No bait no fish. Get there in the dark and berley hard. Just before sunrise seems to be thee best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
