English term or phrase: yackas
It's from documentary about fishing

The correct bait is everything in fishing, Benny has taken us out here to the golf course not very far from the rocks, we’ve got some burley going, we’re looking for slimey and some yackas and I’m trying to catch a squid. You’ve got a clean sweep Lee?

Explanation:
It's obviously a live bait for fishing.

There are several very good live bait grounds in the Batemans Bay/Tomakin/Moruya area. My favourite and the most productive way of catching live bait (Yakka or Slimey) is to use a three or six dropper Japanese bait jig in the berley trail. If the baitfish is finicky, I use two or three small #10 bait hooks with
either pilchard or fresh fish as bait for Slimey and Yakka.
