Best dhuie bait! Fillet the very back slabs off each side, and be careful not to pierce the guts though IT IS POISINOUS! If you fillet from the back bone down you get two nice fat fillets for your snelled dhuie rig.........then you arent waisting a pest. Then give the head back to the fish gods :)
correct me if i am wrong but i was under the impression that we are advised not to throw them back as they are considered pests...( even heard someone say its illegal to throw them back but yeah .....)maybe some one who knows the rules has something to add
Yeah not to sure on that comment but IMO "blowies" that are around the river systems and rock walls need not puting back but not no too sure on the "northwest" big bastards.
I once used a nor west blowie for bait up in Exmouth one year. Was on learmonth jetty. Worked just like any other fish bait. Usally release them though as they are garbage trucks of the ocean and clean up dead fish and stuff.
