Agree - tailor, live yellowtail pike, live medium mullet (which stay alive forever) and they love luderick too. They also love fresh squid although they don't survive as a live bait.

we actually find large green prawns are best for black jewfish. But really it depends where you are from and each individual fisherman or boat will generally use a standard bait set which they don't vary from much.
I personally catch most of my fish on prawns most reef fisho's wouldn't ever use prawn.

If you are short of live bait and can get your hands on a greasy mackerel, knock a nice chunk off it and set it away with a mustad bait holder No 3 or 4.
Nice bait for river fishing, gets results, leaves a nice smell trail.
Don't freeze it or it will go soft and fall apart on the hook, has to be fresh, or at least not frozen.
