Do you need loads of bait at Malhere?

Malhere is a compact venue that sees a high level of angling pressure, we suggest to start off small with bags and traps and then increase your bait application as the fish respond, it can work against your catch rate if you pile in kilos of baits on spots right from the off, good angling techniques will show bigger rewards here than gross baiting from the off.
