Thanks for that beza sounds like the use of a hellicopter rig or a zig is needed, and as you said everyone will be looking for clear spots so I think what you say I will be different and fish over the weed and I might stand a chance.
Oh I think I may have the bait angle covered as one of the bait companies they use is SBS and I happen to be one of their feild testers.
I will ask Des Taylor to give them a call and I hope that will save me a few quid lol.
