Yep 30cm
Yep 30 cm and they are in the medium risk group of fish. Max of 8 snook or pike combined.
Great bait live or dead, some of my mates like to eat them but i rate them as average .

Pinkies
Caught all the biggest pinkies last break using these, snook or whole fresh gardies!!! All smaller pinkies on the usual squid or mulie baits..
Use the pike or snook whole on a set of gangs!!!

Make sure you don't bait any
Make sure you don't bait any up that are undersized, fisheries will still ping you on it.
