    You sometimes see them in massive schools around the area mate. Have had the pleasure of throwin the cast net over them before.

    Give a man a fish, he'll eat it and fall asleep.

    I got one in the Mooloola River last week on a Halco lure.
    Don't handle them with bare hands, they sting..............

    They do sting, and as Keith said, it's a nightmare when you castnet a hundred of the buggers in one go! Pesty little buggers.

    can you buy some sort of gloves that will protect?
    what about leather gardening gloves?
    Fishing- It's only an addiction if you're trying to quit.
