use chicken frames for bait...I'm not sure how legal it is
but I've (been told) it smashes them!

Fish heads are no where near as good.

In front of Bicton baths at night
you will need 25 metres of rope if you go deep, but even in the shallows they are usually thick.
I used to take people night diving there

Personally I never want to pull up more than 10 metres of rope and pull them up every 15 minutes
