Practical guidance for storage, rigging and fishing this bait around Perth and wider WA waters.
Keep at -18°C or below until use. Thaw only the quantity needed for one trip; do not refreeze after thawing.
Match rig weight to depth and current — lighter for estuaries, heavier for surf or offshore. Present bait naturally near structure or bait trails.
4/0–8/0 for snapper and dhufish; #2–2/0 for KG whiting strips.
Firmer than standard squid — score lightly for extra scent. Cut strips to match target species mouth size.
Fish dawn, dusk and tide changes. Reduce lead and leader size when water is clear and fish are cautious.
Offshore reef across WA — Perth metro marks, Rottnest approaches, Mid West reef structure, Abrolhos grounds and South West offshore.
Pink Snapper, Dhufish, King George Whiting, Baldchin Groper
Cut into strips for paternoster rigs on reef. Firm texture holds well on long drops and in current.
Reef species year-round where permitted. Check current demersal closures — West Coast boat fishing subject to seasonal restrictions.
