Hi there, a mate of mine went fishing yesterday in Pittwater, and they caught this little fellow. He asked me if i knew what it was, needless to say I don't have any idea, so i thought I'd asked you guys for some help.

Wow is that right? Do you just pin them live through the top lip and send 'em down? Never heard of using them for bait, very interesting.
Cheers,
