hi ime new to these pools my girlfreind lives just over the road and planning on spending alot of time on these pools wonder if any one cud give tips on bait and rigs that produce cheers

Hi all, me and my brother fished there last year, and I was getting big fish on the line in peg no 1, the one closest to the car park. Was float fishing with a banded pellet about 1 meter out, and about 12 inches from the reeds. Took a long time to get a bite about 45 minutes per fish, but after studying the pool it seems all the big fish are in peg 1. Hope it helps. Fish close to the reeds in peg 1, I hooked into some big fish there using banded floating pellet about 2 inches off the bottom.

Oh and I forgot to mention in original post about essington pools, that I was using a floating pellet weighed down by a bb shot, the pellet was banded onto the hook and positioned so it was floating 2 inches off the bottom, size 16 hook.
