what time of the day were you guys fishing it?
its similar to carnlough, doesnt fish well during daylight this time of year, but should have been piles of fish (though small) at dark on it

theres your answer for the poor catches!
also if you go down to the likes of size 4 hooks on this venue with the addition of a couple of small glow in the dark beadsabove them, it will help catches
lug and mackerel baits work well, as does rag and squid
