Where to buy Silverfish?

Post by djs086 » Sat Jun 22, 2019 7:38 pm

Good evening all,

I'm heading to Mornington Pier tomorrow morning and was wondering if anyone knows where to buy a pack of silverfish for bait? I have called a few tackleshops today and no one has any. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Daniel

Any tackle shop should do it. I've been to a very big one that has a small frozen bait refrigerator. I'm not sure if they sell them there. However, the second time I went to Mornington Pier, I went to Anaconda. All bait was on a major discount. Try there, or BCF as an alternative. But, don't be confused with the BCF in Mornington. I'm talking about the BCF in Frankston (which is nearby Morningtion). Anaconda and BCF are in Frankston and they're right next to each other. All the best!

Might be a silly question, but, is silverfish the same as whitebait???
Can't seem to get "salted" whitebait anymore (tasty on a salada)
