Bait collecting

Post by Vic_kingfisher » Thu Aug 25, 2016 3:26 pm

Hey all, just wondering the most consistent places for bait collecting, I gummy fish landbased once a week and collecting bait is the hard bit. Corinella and newhavern pier usually produce but lately it's been quiet
Anywhere decent for yakkas, mullet ect?
Cheers

There's a few salmon around most of the Northern ppb piers if that helps. Squid every where too

another mention of northern piers for salmon, a little hard to predict but if they are there you should walk away with some
