Green Weed as Bait Green weed makes an excellent bait for Luderick / Blackfish and should be finely chopped to use as berley. To rig on a hook, simply twist a length around the line, just above the hook, then twist one side down around the hooks shank, twisting the other side down the shank in the opposite direction. Trim the weed off just below the hooks bight. The green weed found in estuaries is usually fine and very long, and has a thread-like appearance. This sea-weed bait can be found on submerged estuarine rocks, breakwalls, wharves, bridge pylons, submerged logs and also over shallow flats that have been left dry for extended periods. The weed can be hard to reach and gather. Use an extendable pole with a fix screw in the end of it, poking it out into the water where the weed is. Turn the pole until you have twisted the weed onto it. Freezing the weed will make it slimy when thawed out. It is better to carefully wring out the excess water, wrap it up in newspaper and then store it in the fridge for a few days. Once it has started to go slimy chop it up finely for berley.
