Yeah sure, I was I’m fairly close in about 14 mtrs first and got the two smaller ones, the plan was to try get a trev or a gurnard. Was pretty slow so went went out to about 22 mtrs and got the rest in a few short drifts. I normally use my eyes over the sounder to watch birds etc but wasn’t much of that today or last Sunday so I then do a long drift and mark any fish I catch. Both today and last trip the first drift started slow then two fish fairly quickly then slow, so I do a big wide slow track and come in just up from the first fish and repeat. Got the rest same spot. I slow the drift down as much as possible, use thin braid and just enough weight to hit the bottom. Today was a bit windy, I was doing 0.6 knots in 22 mtrs, used 8lb braid with 16lb leader, 1/2 ounce head with 5 inch jerk. Best colours for me was the blood one?? and sexy penny. So kinda reddish orange and chatruse would be close. With zmans I add sent every 5/6 casts too. Hope that helps mate. If one thing doesn’t work I try another aye, I take a few rods and try micro jigs and sliders and skuts and keep changing colours till something works.
