It looks like it should work, maybe grunter?

Haven't really tried the shrimp/prawn imitations, but they must work.   Have a feeling gurnard will grab before grunter, unless they aren't   around.

Prefer gamefish takes on the surface and we're normally kept busy by that, but have that exact same prawn lure and will be giving it a bash as soon as it warms up a little (water wise) and there is more variety to tempt with it.

Guys the shrimp works very well,tried it out da last time I fished the bay,
Tried evrything I had than put on the shrimp,jus let sink near the rocks and
The Malabar Rockod never wasted time,got 5 of them and dropped a
Rock Salmon,all small fish but still a pleasure watching them come out
Their hiding places and grabing the lure.

In May & June when the only gamefish that were biting in the Bay were the odd Torpedo Scad and Garfish we fished deep a lot as Sand Gurnards can be quite fun (for a limited time). Picked up plenty Malabar on the banks while pulling the lures off the banks into deeper water. They even chowed a Salty Blade! I think my mate Chris got 3 of them in quick succession with a Salty Blade. It happened after I wrote the article so it wasn't in there.

But just for info, the Salty Blade got Rock Cod and Gurnard when jerked up off the bottom. Reasonably quick retrieve too...
