Yes mate fished it loads last year. I used Dynamites the source with devastating effect. But my fishin buddy ken used active maple 8s all year and that to paid off. we fished it well over 30 nights in all and blanked twice,(once when i fell in, lol). We used semi fixed in-line leads and snakebite 4 inch hook lengths. hope that helps, good luck let me know how you get on mate.
