AlbertW Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Hey Raiders, I just bought some live crickets from a pet store and was wondering if anyone has had any experience fishing with them? I know they’re good for trout but I don’t want to bother my dad to drive all the way to the blue mountains as I’m leaving on a previously mentioned trip down south . Does anyone know if saltwater fish like bream will eat crickets? If nothing takes them it’ll just be a small soft plastic session. Cheers, Albert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Ct Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I don’t see why not, I think they would be effective on a small hook and no weight so they don’t drown and I’m pretty sure the would float. Fished around structure something might come and smash them. Complete guess but if i wanted to that’s what I would do. Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) Crickets have always been a good bait for bass and EP’s. I don’t see why bream wouldn’t take them, especially if you’re fishing well upstream. They’re certainly worth a try. Now is a great time of year to be chasing black bream up around the brackish water down on the south coast.

slothparade Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Yeah they work. Throw them right under the trees. Extremely light line, make it look like they fell out of the tree. Ive had a little success with them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We planned it out so we would spend a day in jervis bay and the rest would be decided as we move so we can go anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koalaboi Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Many years ago I caught a nice bream off the rocks at Maitland Bay before it was a reserve. On cleaning it I found a freshly devoured Christmas beetle so I reckon crickets would be fine. KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
