BeachAngler Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I had an impromptue session today using peeled frozen prawns for dummer, only got baby ones. Going to prepare more for next trip and I am keen to get some using bread. Do they really take bread as easily as the peeled prawns?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImDale Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 hey mate, we went out on suday for a drummer bash.. first time ever, so im no expert, we started with peeled prawns, and got smaller ones, once they ran out, we turned to th 6 loaves of bread we had,, and th pigs got bigger... hope that kinda helps, cheers Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hi BeachAngler, Drummer LOVE bread................and you won't catch as many of the "pest" species' either!! Most of the ooglies you'll catch on prawn or cunji dont seem to go for the bread as readily - imho. Make a nice sloppy burley, spread plenty around and squeeze tear drop shaped bread tightly onto your hook (point exposed). I use small running sinkers and number 2 hooks and let the bait wash around, with the drag screwed down tight. Have fun, Smitty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luderick59 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 hi beach angler i cut crusts off and cut slices into 1inch squares use crust for berley i pinch the square tightly around the eye and half way down the shank of the hook and leave the rest fluffy around the barb use just enough lead to slowly let it sink and wash around within the berley trail the fluffed out bread also slows the sink rate and easy hook up peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
