They are bait! Still some people eat 'em, but they eat prawns, oysters, bugs and all sorts of bait then wonder why they are crook. Its just another aquatic maggot, cleaning up the scraps.

sweet feed there

Bear they are softies compared to a Yabby, you can put your hand whilst blindfolded into a bucket full of them and pick one out (not recommended though haha) try doing that with a bucket full of Yabby's

I'm with you, darylive, wouldn't get me eating any of them, including flake (I always ask what it is) & catfish. Bait only for me.

This will probably bring on some reactions, but that's fine. If others like to eat them they are welcome. I don't have a problem with what people want to eat so long as it is not in my stomach.
