Hi Guys,

Seeing as we didn’t have one I thought

[yellowfin]

yea and cray bodies for 2 bucks each i saw thats where i got mine from

[St_Paul]

Cray bodies make great burley, bloody hard to get a decent bait out of them though.

[yellowfin]

i seemed to get a bit out

[St_Paul]

Hmm last ones I got from there had no legs. Have been using prawn as a fairly good substitute for cray/crab with great success for rig.

Hi Wiz,
will have to stock up myself @ that price.
Main Reason is that iodised salt destroys most of the colour and shine of the anchovies. I have used iodised in the past but have found the results much better with the sea salt.
give it a go with the iodised and then next time try the sea salt.

Tight lines!

went and got one of those mincers today and made a berley made up of about 1kg mussels

!!~PLEASE DONT READ THIS NiNiJAs MRS~!!!

Yea I use the mrs blender, Usually throw old bait and off cuts of bait from pillys mussels and bonito together. I blend it to mush and add about half a loaf of bread and water to bulk it up a bit. cat food and the rest of the jizz you can find too if the mrs is out of the house lol. I freeze

[St_Paul]

those micers are great got one a few months back when the warewhare had them 40% off. I mince up all left overs from bat put it in a bucket with pellets oats and stale bread and add a bit of water and fish oil let the pellets etc swell up then freeze in offcuts of plastic down pipe.

Freshwater eels.

I know they work wonders for blue cod and snapper seem to like it too.Has anyone used it from the beach on the east-side?

[yellowfin]

Cant say I have ever even thought of it….might have to give it a go I think. Mind you I went on a charter and we were using blue cd gut flaps to catc BLUE COD

[Sevengillz]

Yeah it worked good with blue cod because its so tuff and it stays on the hook good,mind you blue cod arent picky eaters either but sein snapper get takin on it suprised me.Im gonna give it a try today at the awatere contest and just see what its like with the species on the coast.

Sevengillz your on the money with the eel man , we use it down here on the 7 gillers
even though they eat anything and ive tried almost everything for bait
they love that eel, the heads in particular

[Sevengillz]

Thats good to know mate im gonna have to start using more often.Another good thing about them is the are easy to get and they are free! I have a river at my back door and its full of eels ive been feeding up so I think ill just take 2 or 3 as I need them.I guess I sorta forgot about using them for bait but its good too know I have a big live-bait tank at my door step and can get a cuple 5 mins before I head to the beach.Bait dont come much fresher than that!

So do you target sevengills or just whatever happens by?
