I want to say it was a tim paisley book, he rolled out base mix and made flat square baits for this exact thing.

I'd probably try balls of soft groundbait, the fine match stuff will stick on a shelf.

This makes the most sense. Lead at the top of the slope, chod rig on a slack line

The angle wasn't as steep as first thought and it did go up 12 feet but probably more like 10foot with a slight shelf half way up which is where I fished.

It was a drop Black and then a toner and it think it's probably one of only a few fish caught from there at least in the last few years.

S2 pop up on a mega stiff inline lead
