hi guys, brilliant site you have got here, packed full of helpful information.
my story is the same as a lot of yours, have been float fishing for 2-3 months now, got all the basic kit. only really caught roach so far, maybe 1.5lb tops, and 2 carp so far. problem is, firstly i dont know any 'good' ponds around here, and also i cant seem to get the carp onto my hooks
. as i have already said, im float fishing, usually my hook is around 30cm from my float. seems to work for roach but not for carp. i use groundbait, and bread mainly. does this sound incredebly wrong? im new, so trial and error at the moment.
im on a fairly small budget, as im unemployed due to health reasons, so i cant really afford loads of fancy bait, bite alarms etc. i want to try ledger fishing, but (this is gonna sound stupid) dont know how to tell when i get a bite. with float fishing i just watch the float go under, but with ledgering, how will i know?
sorry for the essay guys, but any advice or answers to my questions would be great. also if anybody is local maybe i could come and join you one day ( in my opinion seeing it is the best way to learn )
