Land Based Live Bait Fishing


Armpits

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Got a few questions to ask about catching live baits etc....

1) When trying to catch live baits land based like Yellowtail, Mullet and all those good stuff. What are the best bait to use? 

2) What bait setup rig should I use? No sinker and a hook onto the line? Please list a few ways.

3) What type and size hook do I use? I assume something really small but not sure.

4) Where is the best place to fish for land based live bait? Are they usually everywhere? What spot to look for when trying to catch them etc?

 

Thanks guys, hope some of you can help me!

Where to catch live bait

most wharves holds yakkas slimys squid

just burley with bread and use it for bait or use pilly strips squid strips mince chicken prawns

use size 10 or 12 hook on 10lb trace on a float or just tie 2 hooks on a paternoster rig without any sinker and just let your line slowly sink on the burley trail

 

how to rig live bait

use the running sinker rig using a 50lb trace and 6/0 hook

use a float only if there is enough room where you fish otherwise you will keep getting tangle with other lines

trace length between 1-2m 

put hook in front of dorsal fin or use 2 hook rig 

plenty of vids on YouTube if you want more detail

goodluck
