Depends what species you are targeting mate, but most simply fish with bait and sinker. Live bait is great if u can get it and ballons are good if chasing mackies,Tuna or other pelagics

 Hi Lachie

 

Have you tried using the search function on the left hand side of page? There is a wealth of information on this site. Every time i think of a question I want to post I usually use that search first and 99% of the time you end up finding huge amounts of info. 

 

As trymyluck said, it depends on what your chasing, how high the rocks are, swell conditions, currents, wind conditions etc etc etc.
