Makes great bait for the longline, as it stays on the hooks very well. Happy to go to the effort to turn Kahawai into Snapper and Gurnard.

yeah we have a bucket of agricultural salt on dads boat
we chop them into bait size pieces so they are ready to go straight out of the bucket
no need to freeze them with enough salt and a cool spot in a shed
