Went to my club water today for the first time after tench/bream/carp or basically what ever came by and fished in approx 6 foot of water just off the bottom using maggots and corn the set up was a couple of shot to hold the float in position the rest about 18" from the hook ,the four bites i managed to get resulted in 1 lost fish 2 missed bites and a nice little mirror about 3lb the bites were to say the least so slow and my thoughts were is my shot patterning making them hard to hit , some of them were very slight lift bites but they were impossible to hit has any one any thoughts , many thanks
