Being somewhat new to carping, i have always set up my rods and cast out into nowhere unless there are visible features such as islands etc. Recently someone showed me how to use a marker float for feature finding on the bottom. Very handy lesson indeed.
However, when casting to a known feature, i was taught that it is better to cast short, add the distance that i am short of the feature by pulling line off reel etc before clipping up and casting again.
Does anyone know of an accurate method of judging the distance i am short of as distance is always deceiving when looking out over the lake. ie, the other bank only looks as if it is 200 yards when i know it to be much longer.
