Re: General info about Gummy Sharks
this should change, squid is the best multi purpose bait for so many species. virtually everything that swims loves squidbowl wrote:Squid is my least used bait for anything,might try banana prawns , but i get slight alergic reaction to prawns.

Re: General info about Gummy Sharks
Agreed, I've caught pinky's, Flathead, Trevaly and Leatherjackets i think, on squid and it's also is a good bait for whiting and other fish.ducky wrote:this should change, squid is the best multi purpose bait for so many species. virtually everything that swims loves squidbowl wrote:Squid is my least used bait for anything,might try banana prawns , but i get slight alergic reaction to prawns.

I usually catch a heap of fish on the one piece of squid because it stays on the hook so well, Although i only use fresh squid, so frozen or old squid might be different.
Thats My go to bait especially if there's all these undersize pinkys around!
But i hear prawns do good aswell so I'm gonna try them out on my next trip.

Re: General info about Gummy Sharks
I think like all fishing using lures or baits it a bit of matching what fish are feeding on in the areabowl wrote:Squid is my least used bait for anything,might try banana prawns , but i get slight alergic reaction to prawns.
I tend to fish the shallow mud banks for Gummies and have anchored in as little as 60 cm of water targeting them
of cause knowing basic areas that they move along to there feeding grounds
All gummies in shallow WP mudbank areas are full of crab and mantis srimp - my guess is the prawn smells the same as what they are chasing
by the way Snapper up in the shallow banks as well as Long Nosed Bait Steelers ( elephants ) all rush prawn

Squid is the bait that keeps on giving long lasting snapper and gummies love it

Re: General info about Gummy Sharks
Just tend to use pilchards/salmon /pipi more so then squid, found that area i fish that squid was least productive.
Agree that it stays on hook really well.
