Have we blown your theories out of the water Jaen. 

No one is kidding you here, it is a fact and a very effective one.

Sorry, I can't stop laughing at you.

I have had huge success on slinger....my clients spent a total of about 4 hours being pressed by sharks while we had the only 2 mackies in vidal out as well.....p.s dont tell parks board, but I was desperate!!

I am so ashamed :sadd :sadd :sadd :sadd :sadd :sadd :sadd :sadd :sadd :sadd

but on that thought I have caught a dorado and a prodigal on a reef bait, unfortunatley I cant disclose the marks for fear of parks board confiscating my wife

Mike is gonna land me in the tjoekie in about 4 days time with this new theory.
But really, what about traces? I mean bottom are so fat? You'll have to run another string of trebbles down the belly?

Hi jeanswart, I use the same trace that I use for mackeral, (slinger, sand soldier are No 1) At Tugela we used snapper salmon deadly.

Caught a number of dollies on sand soldier(if you are catching sand soldiers then the skipper has no idea where the bait spot is!!!) and bait of choice for couta in Inhambane Bay is lizzard fish, catch them with rapalas along the sandbanks in 3m of water.

Bananafish ? yes I have caught couta on them, although they die very quickly

Single J-Hook crimped on to leader, this goes through the eyes

or

Single Circle and then bridled to the fish with copper wire.

300lb leader 2.4m long connected to your wind on as is normal.

If windy or rough seas I do not use circles.

Those little brown grouper items - sorry I dont know what they are called but they are absolultely deadly on big GT - I'll post you pics later. Need a sinker on main line ( rubber band0  to get it down to just off the bottom.
