Wife's Tale????

[castlemaine]

Heard a bloke say that he never uses offal from a snapper as burley when fishing for snapper .... Bream for Bream, etc .... He reckons it spooks the fish. Does anyone else agree/disagree? Like to hear some opinions on your experiences. Cheers,

i cant say that i have had any experiences with it as i dont normally fillet the fish where i fish but i have heard that snapper are turned off by it. its a pretty reasonabke assumption i think

Dunno what they do when no-one's looking, but all the fish I've ever seen die get eaten up pretty good by one and all around it, at the boat ramp, in the fish tank.. Never seen any discrimination in a tank. But that's an un-natural place for anything.

I have had smaller coaral trout taken by large ones and if I am fishing for macks the first one of the day gets the sides knocked off than used to bring the others on

Castlemaine, I wouldn't be listening to that joker. What a load of rubbish!! Any fish frame i have goes straight to the Burley supply. The fish wouldn't have a clue what they're eating!

Have caught snapper with snapper, so I consider it just a wifes tale
