Bait: Buying, Catching and Storing |
| Casting Nets |
A casting net makes it possible to quickly catch a good supply of bait fish. |
| Tua tua |
This bi-valve shellfish is readily available on sandy beaches around New Zealand |
| Yabbies |
Saltwater shrimp, is one of the best baits available for a wide range of species. I've used them successfully to catch flounder, red cod, tarakihi and rainbow trout. When it comes to catching yellow-eyed mullet for later use as surfcasting bait the yabbie is without peer! |
| Yellow-eyed Mullet |
Fresh yellow-eyed mullet make excellent surfcasting bait; particularly for red cod. It also freezes well to be used later as bait. |
