Help!! Mega in Spain.
Getting to grips with (I think!!)ledgering but making a real cock up of float fishing fishing for carp.
I'm waiting for some barbless hooks from the UK so I have "flattened" some barbed hooks bought here in Spain. I've been using a waggler showing approx. half an inch on a very slow moving river, 4ft deep, rigged up with main line to a swivel and hook length of about 12 inches. I've plumbed depths down the swim and fishing just off /on the bottom as my rig moves down the swim. I'm using sweetcorn soaked in garlic salt and only a sprinkle of ground bait. I am having good positive takes, no messing about with these carp!!... but my strike rate is c**p!
I am catching but missing to many (particularly at the end of the swim.)My rod is a lightweight 12ft telescopic with quiver tip.
Any advice on rigs / techniques appreciated. Thanks..Mega
