Yeh as danno said, I prefer to catch and release sport fish like bonito. I have heard they make great bait, especially as big baits for sharks. They are REALLY 'meaty'.

livies
on the busso jetty we used live yakkas/herring under a TINY balloon (used as an indicator, not a sail type thing). we cleaned up, but wise to havea spin rod with a lure as back up :P
happy fishing
