I love to fish like this but with a float. I Get lots of little fish for the fisrt hour and by the end of the hour, bream and tench roll in. I had 4 bream and 3 tench in one hour while others were struggling to get any bites. I love watching the float plop under, and after reading this, i might use 2 swans and a quiver, and go for some carp. Great Read!!
Enjoyed the read very much. Brought back great memories of margin fishing on a lovely little pool as a youth. Moving up from hammering roach and rudd to seeking out the bigger monsters!!!
