Can you eat those things? They look to be all teeth & bones. Catch plenty inside Garden Island and off Palm Beach jetty, generally more around at night. I've never kept them, but if they are OK on the chew I might keep a few to try, I've found them more of a pest than anything. The bigger models give a good account of themselves on light gear though!
Scale and gut, cut them in half and straight into the deepfryer, fry until they look like they will shatter into a billion pieces if you were to drop one on the floor, serve with rice and chilli concoction, yum!
Thats the Balinese in me haha

not many bones in them at
not many bones in them at all, they are a soft fleshed fish, and actually fresh are quite edible.
You wouldn't put them up with dhus, KG whiting or anything but up with Tailor I'd say
