So fishing yesterday in a gale on my local commercial water. I had the wind off my back, so casting was easy, but the fishing proved anything but. It was a gale honest, and when I cast out two rod length the float came back under my bank with undertow?
I'd set up a waggler 3aaa and was fishing just over depth, very fine, with a size 16s hook.
On each cast the float would come back under the bank, but I was catching some cracking roach to 8oz. Then two F1s one a lovely little scaled mirror of around 2lb.
Should I have gone just over depth with bigger shot on the bottom, or well over depth (12''15'') with a string of number 8s laying on.
I felt confident of the roach feeding, so fished over a ground-bait with maggots as hook-bait. Just felt that maybe laying on with a stick float would have done as good?? Thought what would you have done regarding the undertow. Rich.
