If you're using a sinker
If you're using a sinker make sure you use one of those spoon ones, or even a rounded one. Those star sinkers are great for digging into sand but even better at digging in rocks. And the pressure they can hold in is always above your line strength.

You sort of cant go past a running sinker rig for around there and you will get skippy to tailor. off your main line run about a size 3 ball sinker stright down to your hook or even better a small set of gangs with a blue bait on it.
You can simply bait cast it or let it sink to the bottom and do a slow retreive. Or learn the dropper loop rig and attatch a berley cage sinker to it that works a treat as well.
one of the best fishing utensils around is a good knot and rig book mate that will show you how to catch all types of fish and what works best for each area, cheers spess.
Keep it tight, reeeeeeel tight!

You can also add a swivel to the above running sinker rig and have a metre of leader (10lb heaps) then attach your hooks to that. good fun fishing like that and i still go down once in a while and go back to the grass roots for some fun.
Keep it tight, reeeeeeel tight!
