dnmn8r Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Walked past my local fish store today and noticed they were selling salmon at $2 per kg. That's a hell of a lot cheaper than anything else I've ever fished with. I know people use tailor fillets as bait, just wondering how well salmon works? Also, they were selling yakkas for $4 per kg, how well do you think these would work compared to freshly caught? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Hi dnmn8r Fresh is always best, You could be buying mush A nice bloody tailor fillet is a great bait for Jew On fresh salmon I have caught some good sharks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefisherman6784 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I'm with what Ryder said Although, salmon is a great bait but probably when fresh and same with yakkas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquidMarks Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 i found that fresh salmon is great bait for jews, cut a large slab and lob it out! I wouldnt be buying it from the shops though, catch it yourself and use it then and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnmn8r Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Quality responses guys. I never really knew that what they sell at fish markets wasn't that fresh (mostly because I don't eat fish), so I was hoping that it was all good quality stuff. I ended up buying a few yakkas just because they were easy to transport, and they weren't all that fresh. I suppose I'll just need to learn how to catch Salmon. ... and yakkas :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
