use to use a peeled spud on a wire squid jig down south and caught heaps, that was before squid became calimari and yozuris were invented ......

My better half caught a 3 foot shark on some processed chicken down the Daly one day. We got hot and bored and tied up under some trees for luch. A 1/0 hook and some processed shyte later, i'm trying to subdue an angey whaler.
Sad thing was, it was the only legal fish we caught for the trip.

I've used boiled eggs and yabby tails pickled in vinegar and chilli on cod in the Murray and the Broken Rivers. Caught a Powertail on a kalamata olive last year......no pip of course :wink:

I've used maggots in England - they dye them different colours and you can buy them in different sizes too.

The maggots are sold in tubs with no bran. All you get are pure maggots.

The fish love em.

Bred my own maggots in Adelaide for tommies and gar.

We also used magots refered to as gents in SA for gar and tommies. There was an old greek fella who was a fishing machine :clap:

if he was at the jetty you were sure to get a feed, he use to have 5 or 6 gents pinched in his lips :shock:

so when he landed a fish they were there ready to put straight on the hook.This guy would get dozens of gars in a session. :catch:

I've found smirnoff to work well on starfish, local types especially. Oh...and meter_seeker, pubes work well for crabs!

Chuckles, being the enviro friendly bloke you are, you use those starfish to get the crabs too dont you! :rofl:

Never actually put it on a hook but quite often when i was runnin the Equinox 2 we would throw lunch :chef2:

over the side then over the next 15 to 20 min would get jew, goldies, or cod coming up and when they hit the deck would throw up ham, cheese, chicken bones or potato salad!!
So if ya ever get desperate........ :chef2:

Just remembered too after reading 2rods post that i had a mate that was runnin a trap boat out the box and of a night that used to throw stuff in a spare trap and hang it out the back. Reckons that an open Vegimite jar did the trick for a few Goldband!! A true Aussie allrounder!!! :lol:
