0 prefertobefishing Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Thanks Mario, Is it good for live bait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jewhunter Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 It doesn't look like a biddy to me so I'll say it's a herring & yes they are very good live bait. Caught heaps of them last Friday for bait. Cheers, Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 slinkymalinky Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Herring. Fantastic live bait for just about anything. In the 2 1/2 months I've been on the Gold Coast the species list caught on them so far includes: Bream, Flathead, Jewfish, Snapper, Tailor, Gold Spot Trevally, Spangled Emperor... not much they won't catch.

0 zephi Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 definitely herring, I've been catching those regularly. Good bait, but die pretty quickly, their scales drop off very easily when you touch them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
