if you don't mind bones they are suppose to be nice, but personally i use them for bait only, though i have heard from some people that eat them they are very tasty.

Has anybody had success with it after it nas been frozen(have a couple in the freezer)or is it just burley??

ALWAYS TIME FOR FISHIN' 

i just caught my first today and he was bigger than i expected.  When using them for bait, do you just use a filet?  or use them aslive bait??

A few weeks ago Staal caught a dhuie that spewed a 1kg seargent baker out  in the boat, didnt smell the best either

No reason why they wouldnt get taken as a livie.

I agree with the others, SBs make great bait, but the do have a hell of a lot of bones and aren't rated that well eating wise. IMO, better to use them as bait and catch some better to eat (and with less bones).

Caught heaps down here and some of my best fish have been pulled up after using SB as bait.

Still, many would say (and I've found it to be the case) if you catch them, you are usually on good ground. So it's worth immediately cutting them up and dropping baits straight down.

Thanks Guys, I was just curious thats all. Any SB that I bring up usually end up as bait.

with using them frozen go a bit mushy
when ya want one they never seem to come along.

on the east coast who swear by them as livies for fin and
marlin , can't see why it'd be any different over here.
