To be honest mate, not sure

Fri, 2008-02-01 10:48

To be honest mate, not sure but surley something big must like them. I have heard they make good snapper bait!

Would be a good tailor bait down the beach or mulla bait

Bigger then mulie and stay on ya hook better not to mention fresher

I will chuck a few out this weekend for bait and post up my results

Supposed to be prety good for Mulloways

I know they are popular yellowtail kingfish baits on the east coast so they would be a good samson fish bait too I would guess.
All the best Colin Hay

Hi Ya, The only time I have

Fri, 2008-02-01 12:33


Hi Ya,

The only time I have seen scalies and yellowtail caught at that horrible place was when I didn't have my fishing gear with me.  Each time I have was there specifically to get some, they weren't.

My family says it's just me so i'm begining to get a complex. :-(

Cheers.

Many thanks Colin Hay

Yep they freeze very well
Best way i have found is freezer bags with about 6 scalies per bag so when you go just grab the amount out the freezer to use

Mon, 2008-02-04 14:25

The best way to freeze they is to get a bag of pool salt, lay a few down and sprinkle with salt, then wrap and freeze. I also like to freeze small numbers at a time so that when I take them out I use them before they go off.
