Ok experts, can you tell me how to solve this one?
I have recently taken up pole fishing, at my local pond.
The best bait for that pond is the old trusty bread.
However, whilst the pole gives me great accuracy, and good bite indications, I have a problem.
There are crucian, a few small commons, koi, goldfish,tench, sturgeon and millions(it seems) of roach.
The problem is this. I will plonk my bread in the water and I get the same thing over & over again.
The float bobs & bobs & bobs & bobs, but doesnt go under. I know this will be the roach nibbling at the bread, but they end up taking all the bread off the hook without a single positive bite!
I dont mind catching the roach, but when the float does eventually go under, it's too quick for me to stike for!
What do I do? I've tried big bits of bread & teeny pieces - no joy.
Any and all advice will be much appreciated.
