44jeff Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Hi all, Headed out to the rocks today to pick some cabbage for bait. Also found this green, long algae that feels like hair. Would it work for bait? Here's a pic: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) It’s a bit hard to tell from the pic, but looks okay to me. Only one way to know for sure, give it a try, though you really should be looking for something a richer, green color and without that brown under-layer.

Green Hornet Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Look for something more like this. You'll often find it where freshwater runs out of a hill or cliff and over the rocks. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
