What strange advice have you had that improved your fishing.
This year ,early April, I was fishing my local pond,getting bites the float when under but on striking I was missing. A guy watching me asked what hook size I was using, 20 I replied , he then told me to change to a 18 and hook the maggots I was using thro' the middle and not the end.
I was doubtfull thinking I should change to a 22 hook and hook the maggots has I'd always done thro' the end.But I tried his tips and the bites got converted into hooked fish.
I've never heard of this before but I've only been back to fishing for 3 years but having read the mags and papers I've never seen anyone else come up with this method .
