tried some grinners for sand crab bait, and anyone who reckons crabs won't eat grinners needs to try it............
crabs ate every bit of grinner they could get to in the pot. I'll be keeping these pests as crab bait in the future

They have to be useful for something.
Will give it a shot next time i'm out with the pots.

even if you just use them for accessable chewing food in the pots in addition to a little mullet in a protective mesh - chewing food stops them fighting in the pot and tearing each others legs off.
Hi TB,
Might try them next time for Spanner crab bait.

knock the sides of the grinners and use em for flesh baits when they r fresh, work well for squire in the bay.
about 80 jennies and 9 keeper bucks.Originally Posted by rosco1974
thats ok though, next trip will be better now I know where the jennies are
cheers
Mick
seems to be alot of jennies around this year
surely is this year, although the jennies do tend to school up, find the bucks schooled up and you are onto a honey hole...
I ran out off squid one day fishing for whiting in the Rouse had a couple of grinners in the bottom of the esky which were going home for crab bait and the whiting were still on the bite.
Took a fillet of one of the pesky things and cut it into small strips and presto whiting comming back into the boat again. It would appear that they are good bait for a few different things.
As huskii has said ive caught a few snapper at Harries (not big enough to keep)on them as well.
Cheers Axl
they cant be that bad cause dolphins love them too.

Reefies do love grinner flesh allright.
I used to chuck them away, won't be doing that so much any more
