jenk98 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Was just wondering if anyone has had any success using Australian salmon as hard bait fishing for snapper and other bottom critters like pearl perch etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Any fish flesh works, so there's no reason Salmon wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelm Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Just as a side note, I have caught lots of decent Snapper on the centre bit of Kingfish when I cut the bloodline out of a fillet, no skin or anything, just the bloodline bit about half inch thick.

Useless fisho Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Live baited plenty of salmon lbg fishing. Put a 2kg salmon out live and promptly got spooled by something taking it while using a 30wide tiagra. Never saw what it was but suspect a tuna as it was down at green cape and plenty of reports of barrels being taken by boaties not too far from land.

SquibblyDibbly Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I've caught good Tailor on fresh salmon for bait. I also reckon their blood is valuable burley, I drizzle it on my baits when bleeding the salmon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
