advice on Bluebone in Exmouth
Submitted by Dorado21 on Thu, 2012-06-07 09:20
Gday people,
just wondering if anyone has any advice on what rigs work on catching Bluebone up at Exmouth?
as i understand it a simple paternoster rig with fresh crab bait works well?
if anyone has any other ideas on what has worked for them i would love to hear.
cheers

yup
Sounds like your pretty much onto it, I wouldn't bother with the shallows around the Murions though, I hear theres not many left. (local joke)

I seen plenty!
Always saw at least a few cruizin close to the shore around Dunes down to Lighthouse beach. Especially when I was out surfing not near a rod. I found using a simple running sinker down to a 8.0 circle hook did the damage. Small crabs work a treat, but so does squid.
High tide seems to bring them in close to the shore.
Good luck mate!
