Guys you gotta reply I posted this a few days ago, thanks in advance.
Happy fishing ya'll

Another good idea would be to add some food colouring to the dough.
Try some pink, orange or blue. 

Could also add an egg to ingredients of the dough.
Or perhaps, as a variation, try to use the dough without boiling first.

Lots of room for experimentation.

Would be interesting to hear how you get on with it and if you can catch something with the homemade dough.

happy fishing!

Hi There,
In New Zealand, we have similar species called piper.
As children we used dough made with plain flour and water  or best of all live maggots  or fine slivers of fish bait.
Dough was simply made by kneeding the flour with water in a mix similar to making bread. We sometimes added essence of aniseed or vanilla. Another friend used to add "blue" tasting cheese.  But simple flour and water is OK. No need for gourmet food.  Live Maggots usually take a couple of weeks. Just leave a piece of meat or leftover food in a small container. Let the flies blow the meat and you will have many small maggots in no time. Fatten them up on old bread crumbs or oatmeal. When they are a good size, you can use them live on tiny hooks. These make effective bait, especially if you add some red food coloring for attracting power. Raw fish meat works as long as you cut tiny slivers . Long and thin is better than chunky.
Reason being , they have relatively small mouths. The secret is small fine hooks and fine nylon ( best is 1-2kg)
Your float can be made by shaving a dry piece of wood  or simply find a good size feather and use just the quill.
The rig is Float, trace and hook(s). I usually make the trace about 1-1.5m long with two tiny hooks.
If the current is too strong, I use a tiny piece of lead above the hooks  to keep the trace vertical.
You dont even need a rod. A long piece of wood or bamboo will do as we normally target piper from rocks or jetty.
To attract them we like to burley using stale bread or mixing oatmeal in water. When you catch the fish, take an old piece of  damp cloth or towel. Hold the head of the fish in one hand  and wrap the damp towel around the body and slide along its body making sure there is good pressure on the under belly with your other hand. The scales and stomach content is dealt with immediately. The fish is then very clean.  Good luck------bongwong1 

Thanks for the replies everyone, I'll take everything in consideration.

Hi abdulla265, here in Saudi Arabia we only use kubus (bread) as bait for needle fish, using smallest hook and .25 or .30 line with floater. I mix water in kubus (bread) at night to make like a dough then put inside the refrigarator to make it firm or hard to keep the small bait in the hook. You can try 2 hooks at 30cm & 40cm below the floater is enough. Also try to throw some pieces of bread in the area to keep the needle fish playing around.

Put flour in little boiling water and mix it till you see the dough. While boiling, add some fish oil for the smell. The flour boiled in water to make the dough it sticks much better to the hook and the fish oil attracts fish due to its smell. Good Luck with your fishing and let us know once you have tried this. 

I'm going give that a go!
Thanks for sharing 

It's it worked!
