aceace Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hey raiders, Ive been reading on the forums about how great cunje is for catching a variety of fish, but unfortunately im am quite of a noob. Could you guys please show me what im meant to be looking out for, how to put it on my hook, and any other tips and bits of information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfisherman Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Aceace You've got to slice a section out of it, I usually slice a quarter of the outer bit then scoop the insides out with 1 or 2 fingers depending on the size. The insides look like guts. Harry Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceace Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Do i need to wear gloves and is the outside hard or soft, because after some research i think ive seen them before. At some rocky places there were clumps of brown lumps the size of a 10 cent coin with a bit of red showing and when you step on them, they would squirt out some fluids. Is that it?

No, they are about the size of tennis balls, and often grow in clumps. Google "cunjevoi". You cut them in half with a knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) This is cunji or conjevoi. It is the one that squirts water. Cut off the top Scoop out the meat Edited July 11, 2014 by Ryder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceace Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Ahhhh thanks for all your replies! i just have one more question. With that red mass in the middle, do i just put it on my hook or do i cut it into smaller pieces? do i just simply hook it on or is there some special way of doing it. Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 The top part (the eye) is quite firm & generally speaking is one bait , ie not necessary to be cut. The bottom section tends to be a bit mushey ( soft) & as such can be used but one bite & it's gone. Keep in mind , the outer skin is very tough & not available to most fish so whilst it's worth trying , don't expect miricles Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceace Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 thanks for your reply, so what you are saying is to separate the mushy bit from the hard bait, so essentially i get 2 pieces from one cunje. And btw im trying to go for drummer and maybe even the odd grouper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 It's normally cut in half , horizontly . The top half has the eye , the bottom is the soft bit. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
