Went fishing this wednesday at Wrightington lakes (if anyone knows it). Float fished close in on rod, first put I had a common around 4lb then constant lifts, dips and general float activity but no fish....I tried striking at different points i.e float dipping right down, lifting up etc but no fish or bait left on the hook! Day ended with 3 carp, tench, a gudgeon and two roach. I had tried going shallower, deeper, smaller shot near the hook, shot further away from the hook, different baits all with pretty much the same result until, I tried a small hair rigged boilie bit of an off the cuff idea but this seemed to irradicate all the annoying dips, lifts etc. Anyone any ideas what the hell could have been going on??
