How Bait Saviour Works and Why It’s a Game-Changer

Introduction to Bait Saviour

Commercial lobster fishing is no easy task. Long hours, harsh weather, and the constant pressure to turn a profit can make it a challenging venture. One of the biggest issues lobstermen face is the frequent need for re-baiting. Constantly heading back out to sea to replace bait is both time-consuming and costly. This is compounded by the problem of losing expensive lobster bait to unwanted species.

Bait Saviour addresses these challenges head-on, enabling you to re-bait your lobster pots without leaving the dock, significantly cutting down on bait usage and wasted trips to sea. In this post, we’ll explore Bait Saviour, our innovative lobster bait solution, and how it impacts commercial lobster fishing efficiency.

Components and Mechanics of Our Bait Container

The Bait Container is at the heart of the Bait Saviour System. It’s designed by experienced aquatic engineers and fishermen to ensure reliable bait deployment at precise times, even in varying water depths. Supporting this container are two key components:

• Hub – Manages release credits, provides GPS tracking for your pots, and relays the countdown for each Bait Container in real time. 

• Remote – Allows you to change the timing or release schedule of your bait containers from the dock, removing the need to venture out solely to re-bait.

Advantages of the Bait Saviour System over Traditional Baiting Practices

Comparing Bait Saviour to traditional baiting highlights its practical benefits for commercial fishing:

• Reduced bait costs: Because you lose far less bait to unwanted species, you won’t need to re-bait as often, cutting down your total bait consumption by up to 50–75%. 

• Lower fuel usage: With Bait Saviour, you can bait your traps from the dock. This drastically reduces the number of trips needed to re-bait pots, saving up to 50% on fuel costs—particularly effective when using multiple Bait Containers, for instance, one set to open on Day 1 and another on Day 2. 

• Sustainability: By reducing unnecessary trips and bait waste, Bait Saviour conserves resources and minimises the environmental impact of lobster fishing.

How Bait Saviour Compares to Traditional Baiting

1. Efficiency Gains 

   Bait Saviour is the only electronic bait preservation device currently available, designed to maximise efficiency. By automating re-baiting times and letting you manage everything remotely, it frees you to focus on other parts of your fishing operation rather than continuous bait checks.

2. Combat Bait Spoilage 

   While many factors can cause bait spoilage at sea, Bait Saviour protects your bait from being eaten by non-target species and shields it from harsh conditions until it’s released, helping you make the most of every ounce of bait.

3. Improved Pot Performance 

   Because you can deploy bait exactly when you need it, you can use higher-quality or more specialised bait without worrying about it being prematurely taken by unwanted creatures. Over time, this can lead to more productive traps and bigger catches.

Practical Tips on How to Make Bait Last Longer

Pair the Bait Saviour System with high-quality fish scraps or bait blocks to improve your lobster catch rate. You can set precise timings for the container to open via our online portal and make real-time adjustments with the remote if conditions or fishing strategies change. This flexibility ensures you optimise both the bait and timing for the best possible catch.

Conclusion

With lower operational costs, increased efficiency, and eco-conscious lobster fishing methods, the Bait Saviour System revolutionises the commercial fishing landscape. By reducing the number of times you need to head to sea and significantly cutting bait usage, it offers a sustainable and profitable approach to lobster fishing.
