hi guys , i fish at cuttings alot and in the late summer you can catch as many as 15 stonies in one day , caught plenty big ones, we call them kites , due to the shape.
the best baits for them are the worms your get with the mussels on the rocks, a word of caution, these are illegal in natal.
The second best bait and what i use all the time are sand prawn, crackers, the trick is to remove the big claw or the stonies will just pull them of the hook. Use no. 6 stainless hooks for best results. if you plan to release the fish, this poses a problem cos they tend to frighten of the shoal when you lose fish or release them.
incoming tide produces the most pulls, I prefer to use nylon cos braid is a bit too direct. the rods got to havea soft tip so he can pull you flat before you strike.
reading all these posts makes me wish i was back home........instead of being stuck in the middle of the indian ocean halfway to singapore......thanks to UA for making it easier
