There is. Go snag some bunker with a 8/0 weighted treble hook. Then put a 3/0 treble through their noses and cast them and let them swim around hooked to your rod until a Bass or Bluefish comes by and eats them. IT'S BAIT FOR GOD SAKE!!!!

I tried the hot tap water method. Expired in less than a minute. Did'nt come back to life when I was rigging.
