Terry Jackson tells us of the rewards gained when fishing in rough ground over pinnacles and ridges.  Drifting these areas for Pollack using a flowing trace on light boat gear such as a 12lb class teamed with a 7500 reel and 30lb braid gives good results.  He notes that when you’ve found a good spot, it’s always an excellent idea to mark it on your sat nav (if you have one!) Have a look at some of Terry’s photos and read his full article on http://www.eu.purefishing.com/rough-ground-fishing/
