[Murks]

Cant help but agree with you there.....
grinners I catch never see water again
I have heard that they can make good bait but I have never tried as I usually forget the stupid things are in the bucket til I get back to the ramp or Home and then I hate them all over again.

Eating grinners is apparently worse than eating a wet sock with bones. I doubt I will ever give them a go but if you want to try them feel free to and then let me know if it is a thumbs up or down for them.

one thing worse than grinners. my catch sat arvo

[Great_White]

jez & suze, the way things are going with me I would be happy getting some grinners

I have caught a few of late so I know what you mean, good for bait , cat food, and burley I think that's about. But is you get enough of them we may be able to broker a deal with the Mc D's to use in their fillet of fish

When last at Rainbow Beach we heard they were good for live bait. So we gave it a go. Rod tip bent right over Woohoo were on...... to an ever bigger grinner. Gave up and went home after that.

i read in a book, i think its the Wild Guide to Moreton Bay that grinners are considered a delicasy in India.

However, I may stand corrected.

Thats because they haven't eaten a decent steak .

[Blackened]

G'day
Hahaha nice work on the indian delacasy It's also supposed to be an aphrodisiac in asia.
Grinners do have a good taste to them, albeit full of bones. Would make good fish cakes.
I perfer to keep better quality fish though, but they are supposed to be a gun mackeral and snapper bait.

[Haji-Baba]

Try slabbing them up for reef bait, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Have fun Haji-Baba

with the size of some of the grinners i have caught off the gold coast i wish you could eat them. I'm much the same as many others, a quick smack on the head and off to the birds they go
