I've been using snook as
I've been using snook as theres millions of them where I live. Gets smashed as soon as it hits the bottom on a drift bait rig.

All fresh bait
All fresh bait is good, But sand whiting are allmost just as good frozen. I caught my first big Dhu, Tuna, shark and Flathead all on fresh Sandies on lightly weighted floater rig's.
Many times catching the sandies, i have been smashed by big fish on the way up . So now i always send one back down with a big circle hook through the snout
I keep the big ones to eat and the smaller ones get frozen for bait, either land based or offshore

I use my KG whiting frames
I use my KG whiting frames for snapper bait and berley (usually frozen), Snapper absolutely love them. Often taken ahead of other fresh baits out.
