Also if fishing from or near rocks dont use a braid mainline as it will ping with the slightest contact. I'd use a mono of 24 kg or more.
Bonito head will be a good bait, nice and oily and also burley up heaps.
Being in the spot you are planning id be after a good snapper too
Good luck

Hi, Thanks for the tips, Yes i am planning on releasing them after. Im using 60lb (30kg) monofilament as my main line. Thanks for the tip on the hooks should make releases a lot smoother.
