RIG The rig for smelt is simple. A No. 10 hook is tied to the end of the line; there are no swivels or sinkers. The hook is passed through both upper and lower jaws of the baitfish, as close to the lips as possible. If you need the fish to swim deeper then place a small piece of shot on the line about 45 cm above the hook.

For carp, most anglers use a running sinker rig and Baitholder pattern hooks from No. 6 to No. 4.

BAIT Commonly used baits include worms, minnow and smelt for the redfin, crickets for river blackfish and corn for the ubiquitous carp. Berley helps to attract carp. The majority of bait fishing is in the slower, deeper waters from Buckley’s Falls to the second break below Breakwater. Smelt and minnow are the major food sources for redfin.
