What are some tips for choosing the right bait for fishing in the Sutherland Shire?

Selecting the right bait can make a big difference in your fishing success. For local waters, live bait such as prawns, worms, and yabbies often work well, especially around estuaries and beaches. • If you're aiming for species like snapper or flathead, consider using pilchards or squid. These are popular choices available at most bait shops in the area. • Don't forget about the time of year and the specific conditions; for instance, during warmer months, fish may be more active, so you might want to opt for livelier bait to entice them.
