Who’s got their fresh bait sorted and what have you got? :)
Salmon. Need to get more. Small quid heads are a ripper too
Interesting. I have never really had too much luck with salmon much more luck with squid but my mate reckons the big ones love the small salmon heads...
My plan is to have a variety anyway :) getting excited about the new season!!!

Pinkie season is upon us... The school fish will end up in the same spots they always are every year and the real fish are currently in their usual spots and will soon fan out to get jiggy with the schoolies

Haha yea. I tell that to my mate. But he likes to use thin long strips with the hood as well baited with double 4/0s!
