Ok. I have had enough. 3 trips to a new water, no session longer than three hours (all leading just into dark).
Float and centerpin, laying on about six inches (depth of water, 4ft).
I have hooked seven fish (carp average 13-15 pounds here) and lost all bar a 10Ib common.
There's a big head of small fish, so I'm using bolied baits, half inch hair, fairly standard.
Size 8 barbless raptors.
Why are they all dropping off twenty yards into the first run?
No snags incidentally.
I know, bolt rigs I would probably have had all seven...but I like catching 'em on the float and exactly the same method works elsewhere.
Any ideas what the reason could be?
