Haven't tried there with anything apart from the spinning rod yet, but it's on the cards.

No, its a great white shark with some ugly fecker in its chops

[Malt 379]

Had a better one just now!

 

 

Took my boy to dig a handful of rag before we went down there. Didn't catch any fish on it but reeled this monster in on it!

Malt might be teaching you to suck eggs here but the best method i found when fishing for pollock in Pembrokeshire was fix a link swivel to the end of your line then make up a trace abot 18" long with a long shanked hook on it.i use to use thin wired hooks so they would bend out if i got snagged up,i then would bind a frozen sand eel on to the hook,put a 2 ounce bomb weight on the swivel then cast it over the tops of the kelp.Caught pollock up to 5-6 lb and countless of other sorts of fish as well,you can feel the kelp as you wind back in and it's just above it that i found to be the most successfull.I should add make a few traces up as you know rough ground fishing eats tackle.

I might give that a try at some point! I've just been using the normal shrimp rig type sets of feathers in the hope of catching a few mackerel there up until now. You're right about the tackle in places like that though.

Like i say caught all sorts with that method and if i had just a quick few hours to fish in thats the way i'd fish sort of thing,every rock outside your cast zone is a new mark,Just carry some spare leads and extra traces then be mobile until you find a hot spot.One thing that is well handy is keep the frozen eels in a old flask and there'll keep fresh all day and use bait elastic to tie on the eel,your'll have a mare and a new eel every cast without it.

Do artificial's work aswell on that rig set up, i think i've seen it done similar.

[fireman 11,235]

Yes they do Billybaltic,a good little method for trying over any rough ground or kelp/weed beds and you can also swap the weight for a partly filled bubble float and use it in shallow water or surf for a bass.
