Bait Fish ID
Submitted by Swamp on Sun, 2009-10-11 16:47
Found these schooled up off the burrup today. Only couple of noahs cruising with them unfortunately.
So what are they? and more importantly what are they good bait for?

Scad
Without seeing the tail its just a guess that its one of three scad,the mackeral scad,Russell's mackeral scad or the long bodied scad.All found north of Shark bay and swim in large schools in inshore waters

That's them
and i believe they are very good bait, but then again I guess most fresh fish would be depending on what your fishing for. Nice looking little fish!

Eastern States Yakka or scad
Here whatever. But great bait. All the scads just go by Yakkas over there.
