Can any one tell me what they are like for cray bait, they give a good account of themselves on light line and are fun to catch. Just wondering if they are of any use

 Funny you should say that

Wed, 2013-09-11 17:05

 Funny you should say that because the muley looked like it had been more attacked than tried to be eaten.Fish was hooked outside the mouth by a set of gangs.Apparently these fish feed mainly on seaweed and the like.

 Over east they catch luderick and rate them on the plate and they eat seaweed too. Haven't tried either, but has anyone here eaten luderick?

Fisharoo

Luderick are great eating fish, as long as you remove the black gut lining inside the cavity of the fish.

As you said, predominately weed eaters, but I used catch the odd one while targeting black drummer on cunje.
