Although I don't use it myself, many cod anglers use cheese for bait. I have been tempted to grab a 'shark hook' and whack a cheeseburger on it to see if I can get me a big cod! :) Perhaps a future experiment. Well done on your bait improvisation anyway.

Jim, have you tried Donuts as bait yet?

Just goes to show that sometime you have to just take a chance and try something new and different.

Apparently it's a natural bait for the fresh and the salt. Have read many reports on this forum of people catching donuts! :)

You may laugh Jim, but that cheeseburger idea isn't as silly as it sounds. Considering cod will eat cheese, chicken wings, chops, snags...you could be onto something mate! It's got to do with the oils emitted from these baits.

I know! The reason I laugh is the thought of trying to get it to stay on the hook in a presentable fashion! Bait sock would be required me thinks! :)

Does it matter what kind of cheese you use? I work in the food industry and Cheese is one of the portfolio's I look after and get cheese everyweek.

Never chased bream with it but apparently mozzarella works well for other things.

OK admit it - how many people are planning on hitting the Patterson River with cheese for bait this weekend?
