First advice would be to check out some of the articles on this site, look at the rigs page and try and get a few magazines like Improve Your coarse Fishing.

If you're fishing a pond, I'd start with a small waggler float fished bottom end only, plumb the depth and fish overdepth if you are after bream, say 6-12 inches, but vary this if you dont get bites.

I'd maybe try a lighter hooklength, say 2lb as well, a smaller hook say a 16 and make sure your float is not too heavy. You might still get bites from small fish but better fish should turn up eventually.

For ledgering put a half ounce lead on the mainline first.
Follow this with two rubber beads.
Then put a small swilell on the end of the line.
Now tye a hooklength to the swivel.
You have now got a free running set up with low resistance.

If you really want to catch Chub, try fishing for Barbel, it works for me....

You should be ok float-fishing for bream as long as you remember that bream like open water and tend to feed on the bottom. What a carp thinks of as cover, a bream avoids as being a likely ambush spot for a pike.

Bread is fine, especially if the water is open access - those nice duck-feeders have been groundbaiting for you for ages.

Stillwater chub make carp look dim; forget them, life's too short; concentrate on the bream.

Don't forget to check out this site's archive of articles on legering!

I was catching em on Daddy long legs the other week.I slid all my shot up the line under my float and left a 3 ft tail.If you hook em in the tail they stay nice and lively and actually lift off the surface and cause quite a lot of disturbance that chub can't resist.A size 14 hook is plenty big enough.
Maybe a better way than chasing daddy long legs about all day would be to get some maggots and leave em til they turn into bluebottles.I'll have to try it now i've mentioned it,just to satisfy my curiosity :)
