chicken liver,sorry dog

[smiff]

decided to give the plastics a miss and throw a bait out for a change.had about a dozen live(just) prawns from the night before and decided to use cockles aswell which are abundent in the basin.

prior to going for a quick fish across the road i thought best to feed the hound(princess hound to the mrs)with some chicken livers i got on special.before putting them away i decided i'd take 2 with me in case the usual baits don't work.

well suprise suprise,chicken liver did the trick!the live prawns yielded nothing,cockles just 2 small leatherjackets yet the livers got me 2 30-33cms bream.

i've never used any form of poultry for bait before but why were they not interested in live prawns at least?live prawns has mostly been my best bait from the rocks and estuary but today/night no good.

anyway tomorrow night i'll be giving myself at least 2hours with chick livers instead of just 45 mins and will use just a split shot as the bream seem to come in in real shallow as night falls.

st georges basin seems to be fishing very well recently with your usual bread and butter fish on the bite though never got a decent sized whiting in there yet.glad i never lived here 10years ago when the trawlers cleaned out the fish.nowadays is far better as the long term locals inform me.

We use chicken livers for bait frequently, but mainly off shore bottom bouncing. Have caught some nice snapper on liver and even a few kings. I will be in the basin from wed to sun this week, maybe i should bring some livers lol.
