the method i fished in the open was pole shallow about 1ft from the island bank here i found 2ft of water and fished 12in deep i banded a 6mm pellet and constantly fed around ten 4mm pellets the big thing i noticed is that i was gettin alot more bites when i was lifting and dropping my rig around the feed pellets.then in the last hour i fished in the margins with 6mm cubed meat,i had been feeding a hand full of the 6mm piesces all day and when i went over this line the fish were already there so i was catching str8 away. i finished the match with 101lb, 80lb of this was caught shallow... the margin swim held the bigger fish i hooked around 12 fish and landed only 3 so when you try the margins make sure you have strong enough line n hooks.hope this helps.
