Best bait supplier on the Bayside?

[MulletMan]

Budds Bait & Tackle used to have good squid and pillies but now everything is frozen solid and in packs of about twelve for $3-5.00 each!!!
Where can I buy bulk pillies that don't look like damn mullet and likewise fresh squid?
Thanks guys

SQUID FROM MORGANS AT SCARBOUGH.

Thanks Spiro, I should have said the southern Bayside as in Wellington Point and southwards.
Nothing of quality down here that I can find!

the missus usually goes down to the fresh seafood shop
next to the newsagent in wello point, fresh squid usually
about 9 bucks a kilo, pretty much what i end up paying for
frozen stuff.

If you get to know, Ian, from Aussies Seafood at Capalaba, he'll get you good fresh bait.

have Mullet for $10/ 3kg atm

I end up going to Morgans most times. It's worth the trip usually.

Morgans had Mullet for $1.50kg 3 weeks ago ( filleted )

Cuttle fish $3.99
Diver Whiting $2.99
Squid Small $ 5.99
Squid Large $6.99

Although, Budd's has bulk pillies in IQF form, and reasonable priced ( 15kg boxes )

Having said all that.

Every now and again I make special ' Bait " collecting trips.

for Yakka / Slimie I hit the new Arti off the Gold Coast.

You can even go specific Mullet fishing in your local creeks etc.

I have seen Squid and Cuttlefish in the Raby Bay Harbour in good numbers.

Buy some jigs etc.

The seafood shop near leisure marine always has fresh bay squid for around $6.99/kg , octupus, cuttlefish, slimies, and even sell pillies they are the cheapest in the Bayside by far......... Mullet fillets are 4kg/$10 at the moment ....

And then you walk across the street to the produce shop and pick up chicken pellets for the burley in 10kg bags for a steal....

There,s a fish van outside of the Redland Bay Amateur Fishing Club of a Thursday afternoon.They come over from Straddie.Although you have got to order your bait.Prices were very good the last time I bought there.

I'm with Adam - I often buy my bait straight from the sedafood house next to Leisure Marine - always good quality if fresh, although had a couple of ordinary experiences with some frozen gar and pillies - stick to fresh, better bait, better price. Also, check out Fishhead tackle shop at redland bay. Duncan runs a good little show there, and will suppply most baits, usually good quality, at a reasonable price.
