I’ve bought 3 different flavours, so will make up another mix and try again. suzook12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came as a free gift with another purchase. Not sure if you have used them but these are some ways to rig them. this is the way I would rig them for rough ground, cod and wrasse, but at the right time of year and place am sure bass would take them. For clean ground... Andy135 and Saintly Fish 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that the attractant would really work even when fresh. It's more about shape and movement IMO, and being where the fish are.

Bazzer Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I caught a decent bass on mango and lime bbq chicken (last bit off the bbq) when fishing off the council pontoon at entrance to Hamble. They loved it !! Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malc Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) I used to fish down the side of the piers in Portland Harbour in the good old days when we could shove leftovers into the grinder and discharge straight over the side, the sound of the gash gobbler was a dinner bell to the mullet and bass, dairylea cheese was a good bait iirc.

Just mould it round the hook and dropped into cold water, it seemed to work pretty good as I don't remember any frustration with it coming off. Trying to keep the fish out of the pier legs or the stabiliser fins was interesting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDP Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) We have some pretty strict rules on what can be used as baits here. Locally caught and frozen prawns are ok but we are not allowed to use any imported prawns, even though they are sold for human consumption. Also most shellfish can't be collected and used for bait but again can be used for human consumption. The reason being viruses can be spread from one part of the coast to another. The commercial shellfish we catch has extremely tight regulations as viruses have been spread in the past. https://www.agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity-trade/policy/risk-analysis/animal/prawns/prawn-imports-and-biosecurity#:~:text=Never use supermarket prawns for,affect our native aquatic animals. https://agriculture.vic.gov.au/biosecurity/animal-diseases/aquatic-animal-diseases/abalone-disease Edited February 4 by JDP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
