rjc123 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Would they take a popper or metal or something ? Thats definitely a good way to target them. The alternative is to stick a small pilli on ganged hooks out under a float. The By-Catch is Bonito, Tailor and Salmon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 They are quite common in Port Hacking, most around the 40 to 50cm mark, and they will take nippers from the bottom or on the retrieve. Cut the fillets off and pan fry, similar to garfish fillets, but I prefer the garfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
