I don't know if anyone else uses this bait, but I always include it when I go out.

Asian cooked tiger prawns.

What I've caught with it......

Bream

Mangrove Jack

Whiting

Flathead

Jewfish

Catfish

Bull Shark

and even the occasional muddy!

It's cheap at $8-$12 a kg and best of all you can eat it while waiting for a strike :) it's not the perfect bait and/or the best match when purpoose fishing, but value for money it provides a good return on investment!

First of all - welcome to the site mate :)

On the subject of Asian tiger prawns:

A few guys in the know have previously stated on here that imported seafood may contain bio-organisms that aren't compatible with our natural marine life.

i.e - They contain parasites and such that can drastically affect the health and well being of the waterways and the fish and plant life that inhabit them.

It is my understanding that it is recommended using only Australian caught seafood as bait.

Just a friendly heads up in order to protect our marine environments for future generations :):)

As a side note I never knew this until someone (possibly Ray?) pointed it out on this site a while back, just thought I'd share :)

P.s - I'm not sure if cooking them eliminates these - let me know if it does :)

Cheers - Jono

Sweet as mate - Glad to hear it - I wasn't high-horsing or anything. Just wanted to pass it on as I never knew it before I was on here. :)

The day I stop learning is the day I'll stop fishing :):):)

All good - never thought you were "high horsing" lol It's good to bring that up every now and then anyway :)

Also, The day I stop fishing is the day I'll stop learning :aussie:

Mate, the title of the thread says Cooked Tigers...this refers to the fact that they ARE cooked, not uncooked.

I eat them and use them as bait............so, I figure if I haven't grown an extra head B) (yet) then they are more than suitable as bait.

I referenced the fact that they are COOKED and EDIBLE. Mate, with all due respect, you should have read the post in detail before providing the lecture on saving the fish stocks and general environment.

You say this......

It is my understanding that it is recommended using only Australian caught seafood as bait.

So anything that Woolies sells is more than acceptable for us humans to eat (asian cooked tiger prawns) but we can't use it as bait?? :blink::blink: Maybe I should have spent $30 per kg on true blue aussie cooked tigers that are caught on the same ASIAN boat in Aussie waters??

I apologise if I come off a little annoyed, but seriously...this is a FISHING forum, not Greenpeace or the United Nations.

Good Grief :blink:

Fair Enough.

There is a fine line between FRIENDLY advice and talking down to people....ESPECIALLY new people to the forum :P

I now see how it works......AFO HEROS AND AFO VIPs and AFO LEGENDS and AFO EXPERTS, rule the roost B)......okay I GET IT...don't post you personal experience UNLESS you have 1000 posts and are considered an EXPERT on AFO B) otherwise you'll get told how to fish......LOL.

SAD, very, very sad...... :P

Hey mate its all good :) Not doubting your methods or anything like that.

Just passing on advice that was passed on to me is all.

I don't fish with bait all that often so I probably shouldn't have commented anyway.

Just thought I would give you a heads up, but it sounds like you've got it under control. :)

In regards to the legends/experts/heros, I wouldn't pay too much attention to that at all, and in truth, have never actually noticed it.

Thanks for sharing your experience and please don't let this put you off the forum :)

Thought I might be reading a legitimate arguement, not dodging broadsides?..

Nah, kidding guys.

The subject of using imported bait has been a hot issue of late, and as well said several times, if they are cooked before use, any micro-organisms will be destroyed. The potential risk is huge if un-cooked imported baits are used.

Eco-systems have been severely damaged by similar practices in the past, and it's the last thing we need as a nation of fishers, not to mention it could cripple the commercial fishing industry and so on, so forth.

As said though mate, thank you for your' advice. Most of us do appreciate it, and don't let this put ya off afo.

Felix
