North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

Hi guys,

I know its hard nd you probs don't wanna give up a spot but looking at getting some Cherabin and don't know where to start. would love to catch some for bait and a feed....please are there any spots where I can take the boy and catch some?

I'd be heading up to Goat Island, Kai will tell you if they are about .... if not, beers n burgers

Daly river is swarming with them at the moment good bait size

Potatoe is an easy clean option for bait.
upper adelaide is always worth a crack "kassis creek" just past goat island.

or just go raid Kia's off the pontoon.
works on a replacement basis.
take 1 or 2 to get you going early in the morning and just replace them on your way home/ lunch at goat island.

To be more precise, you can catch them on or around the wooliana rock bar at the daly

Good Bait is Velvet Soap. You can buy a packet from Woolies and cut them into halves and you have 12 good baits, Dog pellets, Chicken Carcass.

That should catch a few for u buddy!!!

I got a few recently at bamboo ck , used the cheapest tins of cat food ..
Mainly got females in berry though ?

wow cheers guys thanks for the replies....but unfortunitly I don't have a boat so land locked atm....im gonna head up to lake bennett and give it a go

Has anyone ever got them out of the Palmy lakes ????

Might be good for bait, but soap is definitely not good for their environment. You should use something else.

Jabsy.
Velvet is a all natural product. Can you tell me it would do to their environment!!!!
It's not any poop mate. How about you get your facts right before bleeting off mate

Velvet soap!!!!!!

Bleeting off? Oil is an "all natural product". You think that'd be fine tipped in a river?

Its poop that doesn't belong in a river, natural or not.

How about you check your facts first? Try soaking a lump of your velvet soap in a glass of water, then drink it. Maybe rinse your eyes with it. Let me know how you go. I'm interested. It's all natural after all....

Jabsy, thank you for your constructive advice, You might want to let the 100 odd other people I know that are using Velvet soap that it is not good for the environment. What about dog pellets, chicken pellets are they ok Mr Know it all.

Oh by the way, all bait is encapsulated within a stocking so it doesnt all escape to the environment. With regards to the Velvet soap, most of it remains inside the stocking bag. And yes, when I have finished for the day I take all my baits home. I dont leave them in the river. Not like a lot of guys that I know that drink cans of beer and rip them up and let them sink to the bottom of the river. Now thats bad for the environment. Would you not agree

Mate I certainly dont want to harm the environment, that is not my intention. I do take on board what you have said.

I think I will leave it at that.
