rainbowrunner Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 `vegemite and bread is my favourite but also bread and catch scents used for fishing lures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjewitt93 Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Haha would have never thought to try that, thanks I'll give it a go Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubby Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Just plain white bread is perfect, I used to use the bread we eat (wholemeal multigrain), but they prefer nasty old whitebread and go nuts for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainbowrunner Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 we used to catch swordtails for feeders for my marines, with bread we would get 10-20 fish in a trap overnight but using halco saltwater catch scent we literally got hundreds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjewitt93 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Sweet, I'll try a few different baits and see what work's best Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotCrabs Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Yeah as said above, I've read Vegemite and Bread or Bread on it's own, I'd be interested to see if Aniseed Oil would be useful also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieorchid Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Grab a bit of the wet style cat or dog food. Works a treat mum used to go nuts when we were kids would take the tin of cat food for our fish traps would catch heaps of rainbows in north qld back in the day.

grubby Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Bread is plenty. Although I would be interested in trying lure scent. I wonder if freshwater or saltwater is best ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbee fan Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Dry dog food woks best for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sclero p Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Best spray if you want to get males, the difference in the number of male fish trapped with the use of the attractant as opposed to without is well worth the extra cost. http://www.stimulate.com.au/home/stimulate/product.asp?pid=USRS-100G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
