Hi Alex
I fished it with a friend about 18 months ago and found it full of small stuff
What we did was to use a flat bed feeder with as dry a mix as that would stay on.
As it hit the water all the feed came off and floated on the surface attracting
all the small stuff and the bait ( sweetcorn or meat ) went down to the bottom.
After a while the water was boiling as the feeder hit the water but we had a great day
catching nice bream off the bottom
Well it worked for us
Hope this may help
Steve
