Apologies if this may have been covered before but has anyone any advice (probably obvious) on avoiding small silver fish when waggler fishing? I fished a new water on sunday and although I had a great time and it was good to be out on the bank, I found myself plagued by tiny roach and rudd. Don't get me wrong I did enjoy catching these but was keen to get something a bit more substantial. As soon as the float was hitting the water the maggots were being attacked. I switched to sweetcorn, worm and also a banded pellet but again had the same issue of little dips and knocks on the float. The best I managed was a Roach of about 1/2lb and also a nice 2lb Bream. It could just be that said lake is packed full of them.
