Whilst fishing at a local carp water recently I was struggling but I noticed two lads catching quite well so went to have a word with them to see if I could seek a bit of advice as I dont usually fish the venue or fish for carp. One of the lads informed me that i shoudl be fishing the margins as thats where they get there fish, at the same time I noticed they were fishing slack lines, i.e. not tight to the lead. I went back round and tried this and procedeed to catch three carp in the space of about 2 hours, the biggest going 16lbs, a p.b. for me! Anyway about a week ago I was reading an article in a fishing mag and it advocated the use of slack lines when fishing heavily fished waters. My question is this, if you were fishing straight out into a lake to a feature with slack lines, how ould you tell if a fish picked up your bait, hooked itself (on a bolt rig) and bolted towards you? Its stumped me this as I assume there must be a way of doing it or the likes of Terry Hearne wouldnt be advising such a practise.
Thanks,
