Ok, here is my theory on this. Redbait is vrot when you can’t get it on the hook.
Fish feed on what they know familiar smells and sight. Galjoen might be able to bite open sand redbait (the one that grows under the sand periodically) and glas redbait (don’t think it ever sees sunlight until it washes out), but it will not be able to bite open rock redbait (the one you see growing on rocks). Sand redbait and glas redbait produces fish at any stage but rock redbait needs to be well matured or very fresh to produce fish. In areas where there are crackers present rock redbait will produce good catches when fresh because the cracker is able to break open the hard redbait and the galjoen will be use to feeding on fresh redbait. Lots of redbait never reaches the shores after it has been dislodged after storms, this redbait lies at the bottom of gullies until it rots away and as it decompose,s the casing becomes more accessible to bottom dwelling organisms and galjoen… hence galjoen zone in on the smell of rotten redbait because that’s what they know.

well put djp. When redbait wash out,floats, theres already gas at work, wich softens the shell, and then galjoen se kind can feast! Ppppffft.
As dit by koppe kom ,die wat tevrot raak in die koppe glo ek nie aan nie . Ek was nog altyd lucky met vars aas , maar hy kan hou vir so 6 tot 7 dae , Ek reken die geheim is hy moet nie le in sy eie sop nie . Dit gese het ek en ander mede hengelaars al Galjoen gevang met Rooiaas wat niks meer as slym was, lekker snottas LOL ...
Dan weer die flipside is n Kraker sal jy nie sommer met Gister se aas vang nie , ek se nie dis onmoontlik nie , maar daar is n mate van waarheid daar in .
