Must be top secret in E.L (LOL)
I did quite well on DP during my holidays in Feb and to be honest quite surprised.I was using an altra light set up,my DP rod is rated .4 to 7 gram and most fish were taken in TK. BUT
I think the best tip is decide what you want to target and then fish the area you would expect to find your species.Plus youre get one or two surprises FROM TIME TO TIME.

I fished DS mostly in the rivers but wished I fished in the sea more.Had 18 species from river snapper,river bream,cob,sand grunter,wave garrick,king fish,gurnard,yellow bellies to gobies.

This did make me laugh, must be doing something right when you have to provide photographic evidence to support a "claim" of catching a few fish.
