Hi Matty, welcome to AN, hope you enjoy the time here.

Well, to answer your question, I dont fish too often down your way, but on the occasions I have used Scad for bait, they have outfished the Joey Mackeral we had been using for Bass....as live bait btw....

 

Might not work all the time,but does sometimes.... :D

Hi Norrie

 

Thanks for the welcome - been lurking here for some time now, but only recently got back into the fishing.

 

Thanks for the info, does the size of the scad matter to the Bass, as these we were catching were quite big. Any thoughts on using them as bait cut up for rays etc..

Hiya, Havent a clue to be honest, as we were catching them while going for Makkies for Bass bait, they were all reasonably small fish, but got some decent ( to me) Bass on them. :D

They are not bad to eat, the local Portuguese look at you in amazement when you chop them up and use them for bait.

The Spanish also prize them they are called Jurel (Dave, correct me if I am wrong) , and they are quite nice a la plancha
