Pins North side of Stevies?
I know nothing though, having only had one go at live baits at the harbour entrance. No keepers but bloody exciting watching fish smash your livies.
I'll leave it to someone more knowledgable.

Those pins hold fish but there is very swift current so you need to get it right. You will see the upwelling.
