I always have pillies on board incase, that stuff doesn’t compare to fresh Trevally salmon yakkas squid, I don’t fish for bigger species without the fresh stuff haha
100% agree with the big girls, but getting a feed of 3.5-4ft flake I have most luck with IQF's I feel. Looking at your WPB posts though I'm sure you will find the fish!
Fair enough mate. Each to their own, whenever I use
Pillies I come up with bobcus. Yet as soon as fresh squid or trevally/salmon go on the hook I come up trumps. All based on experience I suppose
Agree throw yakka, slimies even whiting heads into the mix.
I got my first Gummy In WP on a yakka head :thumbsup: . I’ve tried Whiting heads but the bloody rays seem to love em too..

What time you heading out from the harbour tomorrow? I must’ve bumped into you at some point mate. I might catch a few ting and hopefully some trevally the last 2hrs of the outgoing, might try using the Whiting as bait providing they aren’t big, those r for dinner :cheers: .

Yeah the old Yakka is great I have caught them on whiting when I've struggled for bait. Might do a gummy bash myself after the weekend.

Normally launch about 4:30 but taking the better half tomorrow so have a sleep in and launching approx 7:30-8am. Have a spot that fishes well the hour or two before low tide so that should work OK anyhow.

Plenty of big ones about hey! been funny this year tho with a lot of smaller ones mixed in, gives you a surprise when you get the 47/48cm ones on a 2500 reel though.

The ones at that size are awesome fun. Fight great and plug away under the boat. I think the Whiting will

Mate of mine swears by squid heads for them, but so far I haven’t caught one on fresh squid, so I have a bit more confidence in fresh flesh baits despite the by catch sometimes. Fresh squid has done wonders on the snapper for me tho. I’ll put out some squid too

Good thread - I am yet to actively target gummies out of WP but it's on my list to do.

Are you running your standard circle hook, leader, swivel, Ezi rig with dropper loop/sinker on the mainline rigs? I've put this out a few times without much luck (everything but gummies on it).
