Wobblin' or semi- static

[naxian62]

River's carrying a bit extra and some colour. Do I wobble baits in all likely looking areas or use a two rod float leger approach moving every 30 mins or so?
What to do ?

Try one wobbling and one static.. See what works best.

If the water's coloured after rain, lures and wobbled deadbaits are harder for pike to find.

I would stick to legering or float fishing deadbaits, and move swims regularly.

Single rod set-up for float spinning/wobbling.
Just keep moving and try every bit of nearside bank once, stopping the bait for a short rest at the end of each retrieve, rod down with bail arm open, give it a couple of minutes then move on.
If you get a turn-away or flash give it one more and if you don't get a take mark it down for return later in the day.

Stick at it and you'll catch, easy peasy, you just need to be fit and travel light.

Aahh - that's why I'm catching nowt! I've been doing the 'Wobblin or semi-static' thing on the way to the swim with all the gear and weight I'm carrying! mg:

So to cap this thread off. It was the coldest day of the year so far, frost everywhere! One fish, to a twitched sprat. So much for the pike- not- wanting- a- moving- bait-in-the-cold-theory.

It's not COLD yet!

But when it's cold, ''very cold'', most will choose to fish dead's hard on the bottom. A few of us will continue to chuck lures, or wobbled dead's. Each to their own.

Despite getting "multiplier fingers".... nothing colder than having icy water dripping like a tap onto your hand all day.

Yes it's a baptism of fire, we're rock hard us lot Mark. And in the head as well sometimes I think. But if you catch you continue.
