Small hooks and small baits is the way to go but you mig be better fishing for the scorpion fish from a harbour:)

Eddie, we get plenty of both around my way from the boats.
Scorpions, broken, reefy ground from 15 to 150 feet. Slow drift or anchor. They have big gobs and a sizeable slice of mackerel on a size 1 or 2 hook is what I use on the bottom hook of a 2 up 1 down of the bottom hook of a 3 up. Often found with Poor Cod. Bling can also help
Dragonets. I find sandy slopes at the edges of reef or wrecks hold them use a 3 below with size 8 ot 10 hooks. 1 inch sections of rag are particularly good but they happily take mackerel. Slow drifting or anchoring. Give the bites plenty of time to develop.
