No, don't panic. This isn't a thread about West Ham or the cup final left oevr from May. Do any of you learned chaps know how to tell the difference between bubbles resulting from feeding fish and gaseous releases? This morning I fished a club match on our own waters, a 100 year old plus pit surrounded by overhanging trees and bushes. My swim was about five feet deep and during the course of the first hour there were a couple of explosions of bubbles-not the tiny pin head type- which I took to be fish-possibly skimmers or carp- rumaging on the bottom. Despite careful feeding to concentrate the activity in one spot, altering my bait and presentation,nothing. Not a bite! Only later did I catch a few small roach and perch on maggot to beat the blank.
Talking to one of the other members he reckons it was a gaseous releases from the bottom, not fish at all. What do you reckon and how does one know the difference?
