I'd like to be in +120' (30-40M) at least. If you are scratching around looking for smaller fish then any two or three hook paternoster will do. Sometimes I'll make my own sometimes I'll use store-bought. Fresh mackerel is just about the best of bait.
Beef up your traces if you a re getting into deeper water. On wrecks I like a single hook paternoster with a big hook and big bait.
