Can well relate to the feeling, happens to me all the time - sonar full of fish and no takes. I usually end up trying all the rigs and tactics until I succeed, makes it all the more interesting. Nice results nonetheless, congrats 8)

thanks lads what i intend to do is anchor or tie off to one of the pots and try spinning a few lures the currents where they are are very strong so if i get the position right could be very productive going to bring some fresh rag lug crab i would also fancy a bass been down there as the ground would favour them along with the currents. we kept drifting too fast the last day watch this space
