Whats the strangest thing you ever used as bait?

[Mayer]

I always keep a pkt of greedy bait in my fishing box just in case. I tried it during the day using paternoster rig and did not get  a bad result. A kahli and a nice trillja from Ta'Xbiex rocks. I buy them from Mr Fish Gzira. Gluck!

I once caught an 8kg kaplatt using chips as bait in Senglea creek. The rig was .35 line from tip to hook with no sinker. I was fishing at night from the jetty. It could be that the oil ousing out of the chip attracted the fish.

Last week i tried Puff pastry....and guess what succesfull!!! .especially for mullet.

I have tried these greedy worm and had no luck for the first couple of times but the last time I used them , I spoke to the pet shop owner and found ot that I had to soak them for a 1min or 2min before use and lay them on a piece of kitchen roll to absorb the excess water. When used them like that it was not a bad days fishing but I would still prefer the fresh ones I would say they are good to have as back up.

Berkley Power baits plastic maggots (white and red coloured ) on the jetty at Buggiba harbour in may when i was last in Malta.they caused a riot  people were falling about laughing. But they caught fish so I was happy Iwill be bringing some more when i come back at the end of this month

They are used to their tried and tested methods here, so I'm not surprised they were laughing, but looks like you had the last laugh!
