Hi Beefcake,

I allways fished just past the turret,over the second drain to be precise, bloody heavy tide run however. Needed 8 oz.to hold in moderate tides. I found the trick was to fish in the same way that you uptide from a boat - cast well uptide let a belly of line form till your rod sets into a satisfying bend. Bites will be slack liners but the srength of the tide will soon put you in contact with the - hopefully- fish. Strike each time your rod springs back, it might just be the lead shifting bottom but it might just as easily be a fish. Breakaways are no good here -I found you needed fixed softish wires to hold but I suspect the leads with the wires sticking out the front will work.

Good luck mate.

Regards,
John
