Hey everyone, I was hoping to go for a gummy shark session this week at the south channel, im going to go down to the bait grounds for a bit to catch fresh squid, does anyone know any other bait that I can catch around olivers hill for gummy sharks?

Salmon if they're about..or cheater's favourite bait, banana prawns from safeway or coles.

Most baits are ok and everyone has their favourites but the most important is how fresh it is IMO...

You may also find yakkas and trevelle, they are good and great gummy bait respectively.

@FrozenPod, where a bouts do you find yakkas?

Small Carp make great shark bait...frozen or fresh.
A frozen 30 cm Carp under a balloon has accounted for quite a few Bronzies. It's also my go-to bait for landbased Gummys.

Cheers, Greggo.

probably not the best bait in the south channel -- prawn works better in the shallow end of WP on the mud banks
or thats my thoughts on it

There are typically small schools around the edge of the bay, they do move and can be hard to find if you don't have a good sounder.

I would put some baits in the water whilst you are trying for squid if you catch some great if not squid will do.
