I spent a morning at Frant Fisheries on Sunday (it was yuk). Anyway, I walked towards the lake we were to fish and could not believe my eyes.
Apart from resembling a busy shopping day at Picadilly, nearly everyone had the following set up.
Rod placed vertically in holders that I have only seen sea fishermen use i.e. 3 foot off the ground pointing straight up. All were cast to the middle of the lake. At the end was a large float, a bit like a pike bung which I think was weighted down (not sure about that bit).
To complete the set a 1 foot hook link was then slid down the line with a piece of crust until it rested on the surface (the crust). Effectively this was about half distance from rod to the end float. They were all cast into the middle of the lake (circa 50 yards).
Anyone seen this before ? I read most books and mags and never seen this set up.
There were many other things I whitnessed on this commercial water which I could write about.......it was a bit like being on the film set of Deliverance 2.
