Prawns
Pack size: 200g packets
Coral prawns are smaller prawn species sourced from Shark Bay — a premium bait for reef species, whiting and bream.
Earlybird Bait is wholesale only. Find a nearby retailer or apply to stock our range at your store.
Practical guidance for storage, rigging and fishing this bait around Perth and wider WA waters.
Store frozen solid. For best presentation, thaw overnight in the fridge or in sealed bag in cold water just before fishing.
Small ball sinker running freely to the hook, or a light paternoster for jetty work. Fish the bait slowly through the water column near bottom.
#6–#1 for whiting and bream; #2–1/0 for skippy and flathead.
Smaller than river prawns — use whole for best presentation. Change bait when colour fades after soaking.
Light chop on metro jetties, river mouths and sheltered inshore marks. Works well on morning flood tides and overcast afternoons.
Metro jetties, river edges, estuary flats and sheltered inshore marks.
Whiting, Bream, King George Whiting, Flathead, Skippy
Use whole on light paternoster or running sinker rigs. Peel tail for extra scent if fish are finicky.
Year-round effectiveness; strong results in winter–spring whiting runs on calm mornings.
