iv always used them for bait,never tried to catch them.so if you do catch them keep them for bait,they good bait for gamefish.

Walla-walla - Trichiurus lepturus - Ribbonfish or Cutlass fish
Found throghout SA waters
Stomach can distend greatly when feeding.
Has teeth like a Barracuda!
SA Record 2.4kg
Very bony fish, but if you know how to clean it properly is apparently outstanding eating.
Fights like a gamefish when hooked.

Thanks for the info Reefman. Interesting to see what the S.A. record is.
The walla walla is very active at night. They can be caught using a small float, allow the line to be about 500mm below the float and tie the light stick about 100mm above the hook and bait the hook with sardine a No 2 kendal round works well or any other long shank hook . We caught up to eight some nights using this method.(watch those teeth).
