Live bait suppliers in Melbourne
Hi folks
Any ideas about this? I'm looking to link up with a reliable supplier of live baits like scrubworms, maggots, yabbies and the like.
Cheers

Re: Live bait suppliers in Melbourne
( I gather this is in Melbourne ? )
There was a servo in Newport Melbourne near the power station that sold live bait from fresh water to bass yabbies, I'm not sure if it's still there been a while I was down that way.

Re: Live bait suppliers in Melbourne
Compleat Angler in Ringwood has live bass yabbies and pippis which are collected from Venus Bay (or so they say) then frozen. I've used the pippis before and whilst I'd rather collect my own over using them they're still 100 times better than any packaged pippis. They seem to be the next best thing to collection your own (I've bought pippis from Fish shops and markets for bair before too) and they stay on the hook really well. They sell the bass yabbies by the dozen and the pippis by the KG. I'm really sorry but I don't know the price of either. Good luck!

Re: Live bait suppliers in Melbourne
Most tackle stores (not BCF, Anaconda) I've been in have sold worms, yabbies and have had mudeyes on occasion.
I bought a worm farm and haven't looked back, the worms aren't huge but if you throw a bunch of them on the hook they work well enough.

Re: Live bait suppliers in Melbourne
I've never bothered to use fresh pipi. Can I ask, what's the main differences between frozen ones? It's hard to fathom how a simple pipi could be so different when frozen or fresh but I'm sure it is somehow..?Danners93 wrote:Compleat Angler in Ringwood has live bass yabbies and pippis which are collected from Venus Bay (or so they say) then frozen.
