Try the estuary stretches of any river. Use mackerel chunk soaked in 'Van Den Ender Predator Plus' or lobworm on a size 8 hook to 6lb mainline (just in case you pic up something bigger) and leger it on the bottom. It works for me.

 

VDE Predator Plus is available from almost any tackle shops. A wee squirt in your mackerel chunks is plenty.

 

 

Ask Leon Roskilly....he'll know a trick or 2.
