I think It's southerlies at the moment, so it might be a bit messy at the Lions head, but it would be worth taking a look at. Try Gilling close to the rock all around the head. Fish some Rag or Lug close to the Bottom as well, and you might pick up an early Wrasse or maybe a fe*king Cod like my Jammy bro in Law.
