Tactics:
All the usual 'commercial' tactics will work at this prolific fishery. Float fishing scores well, especially down the margins but on Jack's Pool a small feeder to the island does pick up a lot of fish. The best baits are pellet and corn, although caster and maggot account for prolific hauls of silver fish. Other baits well worth a try include chopped worm and bread. Good Swims: The feature swims and there are plenty. |
