Had them a few times when I was younger, they are surprisingly very tasty, deep fried whole once cleaned of course and doused in lemon juice and salt. But for what you get out of them I don't bother. The fish monger at market square used to sell them for 13 bucks a kg before they shut down.

Agreed with KAF!! They are bloody tasty!! mmmm just lighly deep fried til golden brown, with a touch of salt... then eat with rice and soy sauce with a bit of bok choy lettuce with oyster sauce... MMmmm

[navara08]

No there is no bag and size limit on these fish. The smaller ones are not worth eating

don't waster ur prawns mate... just catch them on bread... lot cheaper

When I cantch them I don't even put a sinker, just a hook on

[rosstralia46]

thats spot is renouned for em mate good work

[jeff f]

heaps of them around most gold coast bridges

especially talebudgera

try using a bait jig with a litle bit of bait on each hook

[MrLamms]

hey mate

cold you PM me that spot, thats only if you want to

[Guest]

bread was my first option but didnt' work as good as small bits of prawn, one bite & the bread was gone(yes did lick & press them on properly to the hook), prawn lasts longer, & fresh at $5 a kg, i cant' go wrong.

I used to do fine using a small strip of squid.

Nice vid mate, didn't quite hear your voice, what kind of jig? look to be a small hook size, what size do you usually use for these?

[Baptism]

all i have used for them is sabaki jigs, u can catch 6 at a time haha.

[beckenry]

I usually catch them on the bait catcher,,,,small hooks with fur on it, and u jigging it to catch bait....

[Guest]

yeah, the sound quality is quite bad..there normal 8 hook yellowtail jigs, try & find the smallest size jig hooks as they are far more effective.
