In Durbs the locals use to catch some monster's in South Pier (AKA West) and Cuttings in Merebank.They used Seaweed/Rock worms or Cracker Shrimps as bait.I saw many well over the 45cm mark.

I, myself have caught a few smaller Bronze Bream, Karranteen and even a couple of Blacktail believe it or not while trying for Stonies using the green sea weed (lettuce)as bait at Tiger Rocks (Isipingo) in KZN.
When you pluck the sea weed of the rocks, you get a lot of tiny crustaceans running about in there. I think that the fish actually feed or are attracted to the little crustaceans as much as the sea weed itself or more maybe even more.

Hi guys, just thought I'd refresh this topic as my cousin caught these two beautiful Stonies at Tiger Rocks in Isipingo yesterday afternoon.
He was using the infamous Lettuce ( green seaweed) as bait. Targeting specifically Stone Bream. Landed five in total.


These two kept two for the pot. Lost 2, after what he described as the fights of his life. Small rod and reel combo. No. 6 Daicihi hook and standard bronze bream trace with no float.


The one measured 44cm and the other 48cm head to end of tail.
I am so jealaas!
I hope the pics come through as this is my first time attaching pics.
