Hiya
Another trick worth trying is to freeze you fish entrails and any other old bait you have into 1-2kg blocks. This you put into a small mesh bag with a dive weight in it as well. Attach it to a float line with a small marker bouy. Drop a few in the area you dive in. The small fish get attracted to the chum, which in turn makes the bigger fish curious....
Only downside is that you don't want to chum in sharky waters. Small sharks also tend to rip your chum bag to shreds. Also, you now have even more stuff to carry with you down to the water!!!
Some guys even throw a couple of chum bags into a gulley at low tide. When the tide pushes, they then simply swim to their gulley, which by then is teeming with fish!!
Give it a try!!
