Every fisho, reccy or professional, has their own theories on the best cray bait to use. But there are a few golden tips that are worthwhile repeating:
Keep your bait fresh
Some people recommend using a mix of oily bait and holding bait.
Hoki is an oily fish. So too is blue mackerel. They are red fleshed, bloody & have a high oil content that will attract the crays.
Orange Roughy makes a great holding bait for crays because the frames have a high concentration of calcium. This means it will last longer in your bait baskets.
So the ideal might be a mix of hoki and orange roughy or blue mack and orange roughy! But we know every crayfisherman has their own opinions, so stick with what’s working for you!
All of our crayfish bait is sold frozen. If you are wondering which bait will catch the most crays, have a read of our blog.
We are open 8 – 4pm Monday to Friday and Saturday morning 9 – 12pm when the whites are running
