Yeah, I hadnt targetted them until this year, always spent the summers chasing reds over in ppb. I think in future once december hits it will be onto the tings [emoji14]

My mate knows kgw better than myself but if there's a big difference between high n low tide they seem to come on the bite abut more we've killed spots with this big difference in tide n had little to no luck in th same spots with little tide difference so to us it's not exactly proven but it's th method that works with us, as for wind no idea, n light gear I use my spin rod with 10lb line i wouldn't need 10lb but I use it for cod n yellowbelly

I'm picking up quite a few KGW, landbased on braid. The secret is to keep the bait moving. The skill in achieving this of course, is up to you.
