Piranha 76 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Might insult the fish too :cheer: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JaySedivy 0 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 LOL im thinking cause its fillits it might just fall of the hook and be a complete waste of time, and yeh the fish might get offended trying to catch them with BASA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
urhookedfish 12 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Snapper being lovers of carp fillets, I would say would take Basa fillets or chunks no probs at all. After all when they are hungry they will eat almost anything :woohoo: :side: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fishie 98 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I was told once by a reputable local tackle store owner that it is illegal to use imported seafood fit for human consumption as bait.. by doing so you'd be creating a disease pathway for the introduction of exotic diseases into Australia's marine and aquaculture resources.I do know that imported bait has to be "Zapped" to kill off all pathogens once it arrives into the Country but not the fish feed for the tuna farms hence the pilchard killoff a few years back.. Not sure about seafood fit for humans. So effectively it is okay for us to eat the dodgey imported seafood but not put it into our waterways for risk of introducing diseases into our Fishery Quote Link to post Share on other sites
