live baiting with a bonnie/mak tuna off the rocks?

Just wondering what you could potentially get other than sharks live baiting a bonnie/mak tuna on a balloon off rocks in sydney? Saw a guy do it today, he was using really heavy gear on his stella 10000. I asked him but he was just anticipating anything massive but didnt have a general idea. He was spinning for bonnies and were using them as live bait. We were using yakkas and we looked very noob/beginner compared to him haha :fishing1:

Thanks

big kings,longtail tuna,spanish mackeral and marlin will hit a bonito as a live bait as well as sharks.for the big pelagics the warmer water moving down the coast will need too move closer into the coast line too be a chance off landing these from the rocks around sydney.

Big kings would be your most likely taker apart from sharks. I've been dusted quite a few times doing it. I run a TLD50 on a 24kg Wilson LBG rod for it these days. My mate does well with them he hams landed 2 10kg plus kings on live bonnies I've just been smoked in the reef.
