It's a strange place, can fish it's socks off one day and struggle the next time there. Usual venue in that you get a right mix of people, most are okay, some are asses .... but that's life.
Pole is king there really, 5-7m out is all you need, keep it simple, expanders all the way when it warms up a bit and keep the feed going in regular.
I might (a very big might) fish the odd match this year just for the crack.
