friend fished there last week,all day he had 1 bass,very small and released using plugs,try using the white rubber sandeels approx 4 inches long with a long hook length prob length of your rod,from the controler float
theres a fishing shop in berwick that sells them,i always call in for a pack of them think there about 3.99 for 4 seem to work well for me or try some ragworm from the top if high water
better fishing there in the warmer months spring and after,but we have been this time of year and had some good sessions
