bricks 24 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Awesome bait and awesome burley.We normally snapp the necks and fillet them about 10 minutes later ( stops the blood going all over the boat)Fillets make good snapper and shark baits, the rest goes back over the side as a burley.Rip the back bone out for a skip bait, or cube it like a Pilchard for snapper burley.They taste great if you smoke em as well.

samrota 1 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Great livies, shark bait, snapper bait.If i take them home, they get smoked, filleted and fried in butter, or salted to use for bait.They go mushy when frozen, hence the salting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
