I have thought about running a stinger but have just been to lazy and never done it yet. By doing this it has made a huge difference to hook up rate. Generally a 1/16th or 1/20th and I bite about 3/4 of an inch of the turtle back worm off. Out of curiosity mate, what size jighead are you using? and are you using a stinger hook at all? i've given it a shot slightly with the plastic worms but hadn't found the hook up rate to be real good, might just be down to the size of the whiting that were around at the time though For the last fee years I've barely used bait on yfw, If they wont hit the popper I change to a gulp turtleback worm and they smash them harder than bait I recon. Years ago I used to use frozen and persevered worms with no change In catch rate compared to fresh. The small ones don't mind them sometimes, but mostly it's not eaven worth going fishing for them without live bait! Or very fresh frozen prawns/shrimps around the new moon especially.Sorry mate would have to disagree with you this time. They turn their noses up at worms that aren't live in my experience. Can preserve them well enough, but when it comes to yellowfin whiting, you're better off with frozen peeled prawns! It may even benefit in being re-hydrated in salted water.īut thought it had some merit to try (could be total failure as well though). I'm presuming at this stage the worm portions will still be a hardened when defrosted. Leave sections out for certain time each and then freeze - and then see which portions are better from drying out from different lengths of time in the sun. This got me thinking for the next catch of worms for preserving, to put one aside and cut into some pieces and dry it out in the sun (but not shriveled up). It was a 30 degree day and windy, and of course the part worm dried up on the outer skin and the middle was not as soft but very slightly dry. Still got small bites from undersize fish on both baits.īut, after catching more worms last Saturday and using them Monday, I had left part of a worm on the jetty boards. This is the first time I had tried doing this, so could have mixtures a little out of whack. When used next, they were ok but nothing to write home about as far as toughening up etc. I caught a few beach worms a few weeks back and with the left overs after fishing I put half in a salt solution for a few minutes and the other half I sprayed lightly with wd 40 (as I didn't have any metho on hand).
