SickWolf Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Hi guys I was wondering how to catch trevalley off the wharf. I am going to the bayview wharf in burwood after watching some people catch 3 big ones. Whats the best shape hook to use? I can get chicken but not prawns and have yellowtail for bait. Which of these baits would you say is the best for trevalley in the estuary? What kind of rig should I use? They were dropping the baits right off the wharf so you know. Thanks guys.

Aardvarking Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Peeled prawns are good bait for trevally, also chopped up pilchard. When targetting them I use around size 2/0 circle hooks and fully cover the hook in peeled prawns. Normally I'd use a very simple rig, weightless hook, but if there's some current I use a really small bead sinker just sitting on the hook.

dirvin21 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 go the prawns unweighted or very light sinker dropped around the pylons once you hook up go for broke or they'll shred you on the pylons in an instant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks For burley I usually sock some bread in tuna oil, then ground it up into powder and throw that out.

sydney south Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I always burley, with diced pillies, chicken pellets and bread. Change type of bait from Chicken to Prawns to cubed pillies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
