Does anyone have any experience in catching galaxias and other small fish for bait and how to go about the rig and putting them on a hook?
Cheers.

There is nothing wrong with using them for bait as long as you use them in the same waterway that you got them and besides they are dynamite bait. Go to the Crater lakes in Camperdown, there is no shortage of them in there, looks like the same old natives argument again, a few minnows for bait is not going to have much of an effect, let the boy go get some and maybe even increase his chances of catching a fishBroomstick wrote:Galaxids are native - they are already struggling against all the exotics in our waterways, and several species are endangered or even critically endangered. Why would you want to use them as bait?
