Patrolling the area every day is a good approach. I wish I could spare the time! I see feral cats about once every month or two, usually just a glimpse in the distance or a blur on the camo-cam. Their poos are easier to spot (just as distinctive but not as mobile!) but it's frustrating to know they are out and about hunting while I'm nose-to-the-grindstone in the office.
A neighbour has an unused trap, so I might borrow it to give it a go. Remembering to take a rifle with me whenever I'm out would be a good idea too. Nothing worse that spotting a feral moggy in plain sight within easy range when all I can do is throw rocks and shout!
