Lucky Hooky

Hi, fished a match there last year,
method I used for a winning weight of 9lb 6oz was the pole at 11m, to start I cupped 3balls of hard red sweet ground bait with pinkies inside the ground bait at the off to the left of my swim, at 11m bulk all your shot down to about 18ins from the hook, when you plum up add the 18ins onto your depth, so your shot will be touching bottom.
Hook bait is red maggot , hook size 18-20 b520, cast slightly to the left of you where you first put your ground bait, and run the float through, 11 to 12 feet of line from hook to pole tip should be enough,
Depending on your catch rate I put another ball in every 30-40 mins to keep them coming.
Elastic size around 6-8 should be OK.
I was pegged down river opp boat moorings.
Hope this helps you.

defo set up a GB feeder on any pegs, if u draw anywhere opp marina chuck it over there, there is a boat to the left that never moves so drop it right close to that, peg 7 is well snaggy but clear right over under the tree. Peg 6 was always the flier but not as much last few years. Feeder over under tree and pole at 11m with gb or chop worm .Most other pegs are the same, I used to set up gb feeder, pole at 11.5-13mtr and bolo for half t 3/4 way out.
