Hi
After reading a post about a squire caught on a piece of chicken thigh meat, I thought I would pose the question - What is the some of the "unconventional" baits you have caught a fish on?
I have tried beef heart a few times and caught bream and whiting.
Cheers
Chris
ahhahaa - yellowbelly on a mc donalds french fry at night in the upper reaches of the brisbane river, drunk off my nut of course - was very entertaining
caught tarpon on balls of bread with le`snak cheese on em lol.french onion flavour of course
I put a fly ie. Blow fly on a whiting hook and caught a 32cm whiting,,,,, They were really thick that day and prob would have jumped on a bare hook...
My little brother is still convinced that a Gummi Worm looks like a soft plastic, and he reckons a flathead will go it (they eat anything anyway).
Today the shovelnose i got was taken on the same chicken thigh.... actually so was the flathead, and the bream. Mainly cos i left my other bait at home.
Caught bream on raw potato when I was younger. Don't ask what spurred the desire to try such a bait, cause I don't know either.

try the humble slab of meat can just about catch anything!
I remember sitting at the water's edge at a favorite lake of ours when I was just a little kid (4 or 5), waiting for my dad to bait my hook with a worm for me. I got bored and pretended to fish with just a bare hook. Sure enough, a little bullhead bit and I caught it. So the strangest bait I've ever used to catch a fish is no bait at all!
A bullhead is a little brown colored catfish relative.

Caught half a dozen different species on bacon rind back in the UK but haven't used it here yet. Also caught heaps on kipper (smoked herring). I'm pretty conservative in my approach to bait, trusting to proven baits and having p[lenty of 'em.
My mate calls my boat "The Pincushion" as when I go out on my own, I may have as many as 8 rods on the go sticking out from all sides of the boat :-) all with different baits and sizes of terminal rigs.......squid, cuttle, herring, pilly bottom and float fished, whitebait, mullet, prawn. If one proves to be consistently catching then I will abandon some of the others and focus on that bait.
i have used jelly fish to catch scat or butterfish
Spent 23 years in PNG and you still can't go past an old discarded but still working hand grenade as bait!
Hahahahahahaha VMR - is our sport called fishing or collecting pieces of fish?

Fished Lake Argyle for Sooties and catfish with wild passionfruit, silverside, grasshoppers and cheese and caught a few under the dam wall.
Don't forget Kingtin you're only allowed 3 rods per person in the saltwater in Queensland anyway. Used bacon rinds down the pin and caught flathead.
tailor on strips of IQF cardboard boxes & the plastic inner
I think you had better brush up on your Qld fishing regulations with the " 8 rods on the go" bit Kev.Originally Posted by kingtin
