thanks for the info guys. i will take on board what has been said and let you know how it goes when i next go floating for carp. Lots of ideas. cnt wait to try them out

nice one will try that been told about zig rigs before . and now again. there must be something good about them well will give it a go next time i go up there. going to a small pond tomorrow for some tench and bream

I had a 6lb hook length. greased so it would float. the carp there were definately having the free offerings very readily. must have been something wring with my rig. I had Bubble float with roughly 2ft 6lb hook length , it was a size 14 carp hook. Was happy to have 2 but would have liked to have had more. maybe i buy some hemp oil and dunk my bait in that first then cast it in ? might work?

Not new to forum but have been away for a while. i was just wondering why a post i submitted in coarse section didnt show when i posted it ?

Anyone had any luck with floating baits with controller float. I recently went to one of my many local ponds and found that the carp are cruising in the top layer of the water. so i opted for floating bait. I only had 2 carp that day, one was a double figure but the other was about 8 lb. I was wondering what other people use as floating bait. i used flavoured dog biscuits soaked in water for 10 mins then left in fridge covered by cling film over night . this makes them nice and spongy, straight onto hook and they float for a long time, they dont seem to soak up alot of water and blow up also. Any comments would be nice

i am fishing bait on an hair rig. fishing for carp mainly . but i will settle for anything that grabs my hook. might try fly fishing at a later date though. thanks for your reply m8

Hi there guys and gals. Just started fishing last week for the first time on freshwater. only an amatuer at the minute. Hope that peeps out there will be able to get me going in the right direction. might need to help and advice now and then. tight lines all Craig
