lady jane Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 launched at lymington and off to try this float fishing. mackerel were v hard to come by but in the end a few were caught, with the only guidance being the posts on here we tackled up with with different length droppers and in the end my crew mate pulled out a lovely 5 pound bass. we both really enjoyed this method and have got lots to learn but a good start cheers andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomBettle Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Well done mate! You are doing better than me as the only two times I have been out it has been with the Float Fishing Demi Gods, Rup and Al and I have only managed one a time under their expert guidance. Great fun way of doing it, much more hands on. I for one can't wait to have another bash, bet you can't either. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Nice start Andy and isn't it a great feeling to go through all the instructions, put the bits together and see it actually work in practice. Just thinking about it almost makes me want to launch my boat right now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady jane Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 we were v happy with the result and looking forward to the next time. i think that we made a mistake not using fixed spool reels and also found that setting the drift was quite hard because the boat seemed keen on doing a 180-360 turn, proabably a problem with 3 on the boat but managable with 2. unfortunately i think it is time to fix pump to back of the boat, the airator supplied from tek- tanks only managed to keep the bait alive for about 11/2 hrs and this was in 120 litres of water im sure that a lot of it was down to the heat because ive had better results before but when you struggle to find bait you want it to stay alive ! cheers andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
