where to buy live bait gold coast

[wantsbiggerfish]

Am trying to find a bait shop that sells live bait and am not having much luck.

does anyone know of a place i can get livies from?

cheers

I presume you mean Poddy Mullet, Herring and Pike by your user name and i am sorry to my knowledge no tackle shops on the Goldy sell these, Southport Marine and Dive do have live worms and yabbies.

Best bet if you want livies is to buy a cast net and start practicing, cheers waynne

Youngy,

yeah my bad, i should have said what i was looking for. haha i have that user name cause i am fed up of catching undersized fish, i have only just taken up fishing ( sad i know ) and havent yet caught a fish of legal size !! aaahh

Oxenford bait and tackle always have live yabbies, so if you are near the coomera river at any time they will be able to sort you out.

Chayne, where is Oxenford bait and tackle, there was a tackle shop opposite the pub but i thought it closed down ages ago, cheers wayne

Grab a bait pump and pump up your own it will pay for itself try the boat Barbour near the spit you can pump them there and also fish there on the high tide for whiting bream flathead etc

147 Old Pacific Highway, same location as "Pet Crazy", opposite the construction site for the new Bunnings store. Its my local, Rob and Vaughn are top blokes, more than happy to put people onto some good spots locally...

Pump the Yabbies yourself

Brians Auto at Miami sell live worms also

there you go 50 bucks for a pump, will pay for itself in a couple of outings

[youngy]

At 25 cents each it wouldn't take long BK, cheers wayne

[tiotony]

Yeah go the pump, and with the pump you can get squirt worms too which I reckon are number #1 for big whiting, plus big blackfish take em

Mate, if u r fishing from jetty or pier, I suggest u to use those bait jigs. U can have some fun to catch those bait fish, and then but the livies to catch the bigger ones. What i have done is to get a bait jig, only cost u $3 ( I like the surecatch ones, but those greenish one, dont those only with plastic or papers on the jig ). Then u can buy a bait bucket for $25 so u can keep ur fish alive for a long time.

I dont prefer to use cast net. Yes it is much easier, but use jigs is more fun, or if u get snagged, it only cost u $3 rather than at least 60.

Absolutely not, haha, thats the beauty of it....U just have to jig...

PS: This method does not work at night though....
