if you're referring to
if you're referring to blackies then, there might be a big variety of options. Easy baits would be river prawns, mussels, mullet or mulie cubes. Goin abit more serious, pippies, cockles, fresh legs of rock crabs, live baby crabs, live goldfish, live prawns, soft placcies, vibrating and tremble type lures like baby vibes...
All trial and error mate. Also, where you will be fishing will also be a huge factor on good bait selection.
If its silvers you're after then, prawns and crabs are best.

I find that good old river
I find that good old river prawns do the job just fine for black bream in the river. Put a whole one on a no. 2 hook and your away. However there are lots of other baits that work well too, like the ones listed by H.S.Chan above. Ive never had much luck on the mussels or pipis, but blood worms certainly produce at the right times (though I've always caught more on prawns). I've also heard that live small crabs, mulie cubes, coral prawns and bony herring strips acount for some big bream and are well worth a go. Try them all because some of the bigger bream may well go for a different bait, other then the river prawns most people use. Good luck mate!
If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing rods

Never heard of illegal gents.
As long as they are blowflies( only decent size anyway) & you dont let them pupate, or worse still metamorphis into flies you will be right. You can store them in sawdust with some food dyes so ending up with yellow, pink & orange maggots.
Just wondered if the size 16 snooded hooks are available here which make them a dream to tie on? They are usually gold hooks tied on 2--3lb line which already has a loop for tying onto leaders.
