Hi,

We caught 4 good size bream on Friday, under the gateway bridge. Used steak as bait.

Ive heard of people using red meat as bait but never tried it myself. One of my mates uses frozen chunks of steak to catch sharks. He rekons as it defrosts the blood does the job of berly and leads them straight to the bait. Sounds like it works on bream too. Ive also heard of chicken being used.

HI Kerri - Welcome

Poly's right - any red meat should work for bream, flathead and catties. I heard from a pro guy that chicken is great for Jewfish around the pin cause the crabers use it in their pots and the fingerlings get used to it.

I tend to use traditional baits but doesn't say other don't work. My problem is I always eat the bait if it looks like food.:sick:

Used to be a common bait years ago, fairly rare these days!

Glad to see you got a few!

Kerri,

I used to use chicken breast all the time and I think it outfished anything else I had especially for bream. I have been using live prawn lately and I think that may be the best all round bait but if I didn't think I could get any live prawns I would be bringing chicken breast.

Welcome

I agree Jmac - live prawns are best live bait in the river, unless you're fishing for sharks:woohoo:

When i was only a biat fisher i tried steak and ox heard a fair few times in the river. I could only manage catties on it though

Oh and happy first post! :woohoo:

I still use chicken most days but I always have a secondary bait on hand as you all know fish can be fussy some days. Prawns have been good lately in Nudgee Creek.:sick:
