Baitfish in Shark Bay?
Submitted by Cameron71 on Sat, 2013-03-16 16:14
Hi all,
We're going up to shark bay in 4 weeks and I'm wondering what bait fish are there and where to get them? I'd like to float Livies behind the boat while we bottom bash.
Can anyone help?

Butterfish.They're everywhere
Butterfish.
They're everywhere and they catch everything, alive or in pieces. Just drop some squid down on a paternoster rig around sand / weed areas and you'll have a load in no time.

Be patient and calm - for no one can catch fish in anger
