Re: Slimys
I been catching slimies in wp for atleast 8 years nowKimtown wrote:Are slimeys becoming more frequent in the Melbourne ports?
I can never remember them in WPB years ago but the last season or two they seem to be everywhere? Strange happenings
But to answer your question, yes. One of the best baits available.

In the past I have had a lot of success using fresh fillets with a twin hook setup. If you find it’s a bit soft, some bait mate around it works well

Am aware that wpb has a lot of them from time to time. But never heard of them in ppb.
