Best Bait

Tackle

Hints Typically bottom feeders but towards dusk will pray on small fish. Mouths of creeks or channels inside river deltas is a prime location to fish. Bite best on the flood tide. Fish have huge mouths that can accommodate big baits. Have the ability to throw hooks. Large fish are taken at night using live bait. Once the bait is taken wait until the fish moves away and swallows it before setting the hook. Live prawn or fish bait fished 1m under a float close to snags or bank is productive.
