Thanks Mario, Is it good for live bait?

It doesn't look like a biddy to me so I'll say it's a herring & yes they are very good live bait.

Caught heaps of them last Friday for bait.

Cheers,

Herring. Fantastic live bait for just about anything. In the 2 1/2 months I've been on the Gold Coast the species list caught on them so far includes: Bream, Flathead, Jewfish, Snapper, Tailor, Gold Spot Trevally, Spangled Emperor... not much they won't catch.

definitely herring, I've been catching those regularly.

Good bait, but die pretty quickly, their scales drop off very easily when you touch them.
