All sounds a little complicated to me Think Terry T shirt might be the winner, seems much simpler for a newbie like me.

Cheers John S, you lost me really quick there, I tend to put a hook through most baits! Hair rigs? Pellet bands, can you talk a little slower please mate?

Right lads I'm back with more (for you people obvious questions) info, I was fishing my local pond, Birkwood in Altofts, I had a pretty poor time, around half a dozen small roach, nothing of any weight, the guy next door to me was pulling out good sized Carp. I had a nose as to the depth he was fishing, size float etc and all seemed similar to mine. The only difference was bait, he was telling a guy that he used pellets, now I've googled pellets and as per everything else for a newbie there appear to be lots. I'm into pleasure fishing but also want to catch, can someone recommend the best pellets? Are they like grain? Do you have to put a hook through every individual pellet?
I know the answer is gonna be obvious to the majority of you but it's difficult for us newbies!

Done, thanks everyone.If you fill in your location in your profile some kind ANer that knows your area might be able to point you towards a water or two that would be more to your tastes than the carp puddle you seem to be fishing

Hello there, I'm a 54yr old new starter to fishing, when I introduced myself a couple of weeks since I did warn that there could be some daft questions as I really haven't got a clue what I'm doing, so here goes.
I'm fishing a pond near me and all I seem to get is relatively big (in starter terms) Carp, how can I avoid Carp and catch other fish, Roach, Perch etc.
And daft question two, I've noticed guys fishing with what appears to be a very large bulbous float and fishing bread on top of the water, what fish are they hoping to catch and is there a name for this style of fishing?
Thanks

Hello there everyone, think I may be a bit of a novelty on here, just retired at 52 and taken up fishing! I'll apologise in advance ' cos I'm likely to be on here regularly picking your brains!
Regards.
