Iv been and fished this twice and blanked both times on peg 12. althoughthis was a couple of years ago and im still amatuer now so i knew very little about what i was doing. Im thinking of revisiting and after the reports you have made mcpot it sounds promising.

 

If you feel generous enough, what rigs and bait were you using?? :wink:
