 The only way to avoid them is fish the surface I use the cork on all my rigs and hook plenty of rays.  There are some absolute monsters down there around Dunsborough I say take plenty of rigs and enjoy the drag screaming

you have to put a little sign out on the bottom of your rig near the bait that read "no stingrays alloud" that should work.
