Armpits Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishermanSteve Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hey mate, get some sabiki rigs from Kmart. Tip them with very small bits of chicken breast or thigh. Clifton Gardens and Chipping Norton lake I've had success!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishermanSteve Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Oh don't use the rigs more than twice as the salt corrodes them and they will just break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fisholb Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
