Hi Guys, I going to do a spot of early morning piking on my local stretch of the avon. I'm planning on keep as mobile as possible just taking 1 rod, net, unhooking mat and a small bag of bits.
I'm not sure how to tackle the river I am however told that lure fishing isn't great. My first thought is to trot a float under bankside trees and lay on in any slacks I can find.
I've never had much luck trotting for pike but I think its a method I should keep working at. Can I have some tips please?
Also when laying on how many casts should it take me to find the right depth and set the float so it cocks right? I hate casting lots as I think I've ruined the swim!
Cheers guys
