Re: any tips on monsktown
i,v never fished it but if you cant cast over 120 yards into the main channel you wont hit the cod (not the big ones) its a slack water mark so a few hours either side of low or high water as the flow on the river will stop you from holding bottom,it has a reef infront of the channel and if you dont wind like a lunatic you will get snagged up fish or no fish,must fish it someday
(this is what i,ve been told by other anglers) ps crab no1 bait 
oh yea mind the buses cos were all gods children!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: any tips on monsktown
most lads dont use em ,i do on some marks as a multi needs a lift sometimes
,a pully rig will improve your chances if you hook a big one, good luck
