queensland Chicken Bait

[Brian D]

I was chatting with a pro potter the other day at Redland Bay. He advised me to use chicken fillet when fishing for Jew Fish and Snapper. He said that as the potters use chicken, the juviniles get used to the taste and actualy prefer it to mullet fillet. Does it realy work?

Ha, who knows.

Not a bad idea.

I mean one of my favourite squire and bream baits is chicken gut.

Angus.

Someone try it out and let us know!

It works! I've been desperate for bait many a time and chicken fillet came to the rescue! Bream can't resist the stuff!

Ive ised livers and caught some big sutff, but ive actually been told the best bait is chicken fillets with beetroot juice. I dont believe iot but it was put to the test and out fished prawns worms pillies and squid.

Its weird

OK this is what I'm going to try. Gonna get a couple of whole chicken carcass and make a burley, then float some fillet strips down the trail and sink some to the bottom with a padanosta rig. Bet the first thing I get will be a stingray.

I wonder how a whole chicken carcus would go with a big shark hook in it and 80lb trace?

i doubt it would work to well, it would attract more pickers and crabs then anything else. Allthough it had been marinating in tuna oil over night it would work pretty well.
