A smart person knows what to say. A wise person knows whether to say it.

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

Re: Freshwater Bait - Where do I start ?
Thanks heaps everyone for your contribution.
I'll give the worms and cheese a go and see how it pans out.
One other question, do you normally run paternoster rigs or running sinkers?
As a rule when bait fishing in salt I always run the lightest sinker I can get away with... Same for freshwater?

Same as salt water as far as I know (I don't catch many freshwater fish though so treat my advice with the extremest of caution).

Re: Freshwater Bait - Where do I start ?
Running sinker or bubble float is my preference if u can go unweighted that's the go if not yes lightest sinker possible
If I'm not fishing, I'd rather be fishing!
