niclebum Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Hi Raiders, as the title suggests I'm wondering how garfish fare as a bait for jewwys.. Caught a couple today and have a session in mind for Saturday so I kept them in hope that they would be a good bait Thanks In advance Parraman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegroves68 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I would say they have got to be good bait. Probably better than yakkas, especially if they were live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 They are great lives full stop. Kings, bonito, flat ties, big bream, jewies you name it and they'll probably eat it! If you haven't kept them live which is likely, they go well as a fillet bait for good bream. If they are decent size garfish then take a slab off and use if on a snelled rig for jews. I rate them very highly as a livebait and they go ok as a cut bait too. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niclebum Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 thanks for the replies i was just thinking of halving them or just chopping the heads off and embedding two hooks in it do you think this will be as good? Parraman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.dawg Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I have tried garfish many times for Jews both live and dead with no success not even a run but when using them live during the day for kings and other pelagics they are almost as good as live squid and by far better then yakkas and mullet. Just wondering if you can share the garfish spot with me as I'm looking everywhere for them and the only time of the year I hav success is in winter months June and July when the kings are less active.

Davemmm Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Gars are great Jew bait. Never tried them as a slab/strip bait but live they go off. Only problem is i like eating them better than Jew so invariably they end up at home rather than on a hook. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
