    I have been surf casting the west coast for years and not once caught them on a traditional bait. That's not saying you can't as I have seen other people get them on squid.

    I always throw 2 rods out. One with crab and one with squid or similar.
    Crab will only catch eleys or rig the others will get spikey dogs or greyboys with the odd random in there.
    Might be why there in close in the first place. Just looking/feeding on shellfish.
    You don't have to cast far for rig at home.

    Never tried tua tuas or pipis. But we don't really get them where I fish in any numbers.

    Yep spikeys are cunts...eat anything and will prick you if you are silly enough to give them a chance. Rig seem to be more selective.
    Here at least they start to come in shallow around now to feed up on crabs and shell fish and drop pups so more sandy beaches than rocky coast.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.
