Has anyone ever used mudskipper as bait?

 I always read the yawuru calender when i am in the coles in broome , i find them very informative

 

example

 

 

Yawuru people live by six seasons. We read the changing signs in the wangal (winds), the wula (rainfall) and temperature, and the plants and animals, and notice how these come together.

 

 

 

The wattle flowers in Barrgana mean that the salmon and catfish are fat. When the wattle seeds, the mullet lay their eggs, and when the seeds open up, the eggs have hatched.    

 

 

One of them mentioned that mudskipper is good bait but i want to know more about how to rig them up and what type of species you could catch with it.

 

Any help would be appreciated
