winners are grinners

[Simo68]

hiya, it’s been a while but hooking back into the platform… went around the rous monday and wanted to scoop up some squid for this winter snapper bait…… absolutely none in 6 hours but i caught 34 grinners, 7 if these on a squid jig

i kept a few for snapper bait, has anyone had good results with these as bait? thinking about slicing in half with gang hooks and floating down the water column 

notvdure if the plague proportions of these monsters scared off the squid that day or i’ve lost my touch, at least i wasn’t sitting at a desk looking at a computer!

Welcome back Simon, hope you’re well mate. Grinners are meant to be great snapper bait in the bay so give them a try .

Hey Simo,

Good to hear from you. That's quite a session ! lol   Incredible numbers. They've been in huge supply lately.

I've used them successfully on the snapper, so good luck with them.

Kev and the Cat man, hiya fellas, been a while between flatheads for sure

Have you turned your kids into next gen fishing maniacs Kev? I’ve still been fishing but slackened off on these pages somewhat 

will post all my snapper successes in the weeks to come!!

Thankyou , great effort !
I’ve used them for bait , they work fine on all sorts of species.

Keep up the good work.

Best used fresh as they can get a bit soft when frozen.

I know an old fellow that uses them for bait for sand crabs in the bay during winter....gets good bags of sandies on them every soak.

Rumour has it they're good crab bait, if nothing else.

I just want to thank you for removing these horrible things from the water ways. 

 

Chop the head off, and cut the backbone out. 

Float em down. 

They do work.
