Best yabby bait is a dead sheep's head after it has been in the paddock for a week and stinks very badly!!
Failing this get a dogs bone from the butcher's, leave it in the sun for a couple of hours, good too.

If you want to sit there, a piece of meat tied in the middle with a bit of string, drop near the bank where all the holes are and watch. As soon as one lamps onto it, pull it up gently, they wont let go and you can pull them right out of the water.....
