If you had to choose only one method to use forever what would it be and why?

mine would be the simple waggler. catches all fish all sizes and theres no better sight than that orange tip wobbling and then disappearing!

Float fishing for mullet in tidal creeks. Light tackle, powerful running fish and the unpredictable nature of the species.

Would have to be pole fishing for the precision depth-finding, tight baiting and float sensitivity. From 0 - 16 metres it beats the waggler hands-down IMO. However I do like fishing the waggler on open tench and carp waters where I can have a feeder rod on the buzzer for lumps and therefore direct my concentration to the float.

running a stick float down a long glide controlling it with a
centre pin (simply heaven)

the banjo, its my banker method and I love watching that tip quivering before banging round ...

It's lure fishing for me, though not exclusively for pike, even though pike are my preferred quarry. Perch, zander and chub respond to lures also. I usually find myself targeting them at specific times throughout the season.

Lure fishing.

Almost every species that swims will take a lure, the only way to go IMO.

I'd love to say this but getting to rivers for me has been a no no this year and looks like the foreseeable future so I will have to plump for the waggler. Tried the pole in the past but the excitement just isn't there for me (having said that, I like the elasticated whip fishing on certain occasions).

Wagglers for me

From small roach to carp in the margins does it all

Pole fishing shallow and slapping ,the most exciting and active form of pole fishing,constantly feeding,slapping the rig-elastic shooting out!!

waggler rig, 12ft rod, small hook with maggot/caster.

If the waggler was an onion i could also fix it upside-down with double rubbers like an Avon and use it on the river!.

Waggler for me, works on pools and slow running water

Another vote, albeit reluctant, for lure fishing.

The truth is that if I was really restricted to that method, then my enthusiasm for our past-time would dwindle hugely.
