I've always liked the idea of float fishing for carp in the margins, but have never done it other than by accident on easy waters when my roach swim has been invaded. So when an angler who has been having some success with this style of fishing on one of our moderate difficulty waters invited me to come along I keenly took up the offer.
I fished 4 feet from the bank in 4-5 feet of water with luncheon meat over a mixture of shop bought groundbait and various extras. I baited and fished 2 swims and felt I was doing the real thing, and even stayed at the water 4 hours, unlike my usual ridiculously short sessions. Unfortunately it wasn't to be, and neither of us caught - but I guess that is all part of the game when you go up a notch in the difficulty of the water. I learned plenty, and it was great to get to Peter a little bit. Next time I use this approach, though, I will probably try it on an easier water, though will doubtless graduate to the slightly harder waters in due course.
