i have spun around the edges there and picked up some small pollack - never tried baits

i would imagine the coral could mess up the worm baits - but youll never know unless you try

the other thing i would say is looking at it at LW its not very clear ground, plenty of rock outcrops weed etc. - id say you could loose a bit of gear
