bait bait gathering There is no better method than to use fresh bait when fishing. Try gathering your own bait before you next wet a line - you will be impressed by the results.there is no substitute for the real thing and Alvey has provided you with a range of quality bait gathering accessories to help you improve your fishing. bait pumps bait trap Telescopic clear bait trap is used to catch bait fish etc., for live bait. (remember it is illegal to take undersized fish.) With soft rubber grips over strong stainless steel handles, these suction pumps are for the extraction of worms, crustaceans and yabbies from sand and mud banks. Quality stainless steel and brass are used in their manufacture. Available in 500mm, 750mm and 1metre length barrels. Use with your Alvey durable plastic Bait Sieve. This is used in conjunction with the bait pump.to allow pumping in deeper water flotation can be added to the sieve by attaching a 16 bicycle tyre tube. Sand falls through the sieve leaving the yabbies behind. wading bag sieve graphite pliers For catching sea worms or de-hooking small lures from fish. bait bucket yabbies baiting up Remember fresh is best. Starting at the tail end thread the hook up inside the yabbie exiting just before the head. Going through the head will kill the yabbie and a live bait is always best. worms Two sizes are available. Large bucket holds a good supply of blue pilchards comfortably and has stainless steel hinge pins for longer life guaranteeing the lid will never fall off at the hinges. Small bait buckets also available to hold worms etc. Both buckets are designed to fit on the rod bucket belt. Using one or even two bait buckets while fishing saves time walking up and down the beach to get bait when the fish are biting. Wear a wading bag as well and you are totally self-sufficient. pilchards The surface feeding fish that move into surf gutters such as Tailor and Salmon feed mainly on small baitfish. Baits such as WA and Blue Pilchards, Gar, White and Frogmouth Pilchards are the best bait for these fish. Strips of fish flesh can be used in the same manner. bait 36 Saves time while fishing at different beach locations. Mesh bottom to allow water to wash through (ruler not included). Thread worm a little way up the hook bunching it together. Exit the worm and go back in again bunching it together. Continue doing so until the hook is full and then leave at least a couple of centimetres hanging off the hook with the barb tip exposed. 37
