What about pilchard and you can't pick more than one.....

Some people might argue that SP is not a bait....

[sharkymark2]

pillies nearly all the time

[CreelReaper]

pillies for me too!!!!! in nearly all cases except chasing jew etc which is a livey's domain

[Scott nthQld]

Livies are my prefered bait, everything will take a livey. but if they can't be gathered, squid, pillies, prawn, mullet are all on the top of the list.

[chief 1]

I use prawns,they catch what i'm looking for

[jtpython]

All of the above and big slabs of mullet and big strips of tuna or bonito's usauly a large bait for me works well

Soft Plastic is clased as an ARTIFICAL BAIT :P

[chief 1]

[BARRAkid]

cheers bk

[loophole]

Your right loophole,i didn't take much notice

[chief 1]

live bait would have been my second vote

[snelly1971]

Atlantic Salmon is my fav....plenty of oil on that flesh

Live bait is a personal favorite of mine when I'm fishing here in Ipswich, but prawns, squid and earthworms are a close second.(only because I don't know what SP's to use yet)

[r3volt]

Large peeled prawns, starting to use fresh mullet flesh too as it caught my first snapper :)

[Keechie]

anything its lures or soft palstics if i have to use bait you can't go past a good pilly, prawn or tuna/mullet fillet.

regards,
keechie

[Seahorse]

Red Meat for those snapper

[bustastu]

pillies all the way...

Peeled prawns, beach worms and pilchard, only if live bait is not available.

I'm with you on that one

[Jimbo73]

I chose live bait. Cant beat fresh live worms for catching whiting. Cheers Jamie

[Skusto]

yakkas, and whiting are our fav for the snaps the love them out at deep tempest. but if can get fresh then most of the time a block of pillies does the trick.alsop this mite sound strange to but cooked prawns work a treat for the bream in our local creek. plus uve always got something to snack on while your fishing.

[whiting-wizard]

thanks guys;D

[Poles_Hole]

pillies for me , and sp's

[FISHAWN]

ive recently been converted to Sp's but for the heck of it i threw out 2 pillies yesty in the logan river and got a nice tailor and had a croc bite off - also on 2 pillies. My mate cleaned up some big tings on prawns. Got nothing on various SP's. Started to think it may be best to always arm ones self with both baits.

Also, are Sp's effective at night ? Am yet to catch anything at night on them.

Cheers

[Bloody Grinner]

frogmouth pilchards for me. nice and oily, stays on your hooks well. great for flathead on gangs.

second is whitebait.

[onerabbit]

Pretty hard to go past a good bit of mullet.

[Noiseworks]

Livies for me, kids enjoy the soft plastics though. They've watched all the squidgy videos and reckon there all the go.

[trymyluck]

Mullet, livies and live prawns (Bream just carn't say no:D )

[kahla_creek]

fresh is best
Cheers

[Mangfish]

strasburg ..

[polky]

fresh cut baits, usually hussar or baldy brim. keep a few sides as starter bait for when we next hit the reef. Polky.

[Gold_Coast_Chaser]

strasburg ..

Not my favourable bait but i have used strasburg in my canal and have caught plenty of bream on it, they seem to love it, not sure if any other species eat it.

My favoured bait would be HardBody lures and then prawns.

[whiting-wizard]

thanks guys for your info;D;D

[sharkymark2]

peelies with lots of burley ;).

[rockfisho]

there is no one be all end all bait. I use a wide variety of baits depending on what i fish for. pillys for tailor, worms, pippys for dart whiting and bream. flathead with fishbait etc. squid and mullet for jewies and snapper off the rocks. Cunjie aswell

the list goes on forever

cheers

live bait for me it brings the big ones to me

[whiting-wizard]

My fav is pillies and squid;D;)

[stevea]

I like to use octopus , when I cant get live bait or not using SP,
as it sticks on the hook like glue and floatline it down. Woolies used to sell it in the deli , so I got the Mrs to buy it (in the grocery budget and not the fishing budget) giving me more money to spend on tackle.:D
