with the bait touching the bottom you are float legering del.
What I am looking at here is putting a sliding knot on your main line, bead then the float. followed bt trace.
This way you can alter the depth you are fishing without having to strip everything down to do so.
It also hels as you are literally on casting how much line / trace you want out.
check out the pac web site for other techniques.

no its my first time going here. cheers for the tip. should i leave the leader long enough for the bait to touch the bottom. i find it awkward to cast with the float on and bait a good bit away, it looks like its spinning round each other, do you know what i mean?

Set your chosen bait under a float mate.
Cast out let it settle, leave for a bit, then wind in a few yards then stop,
bait will get dragged along under the float and then drift back down when you stop winding.
Do you know the loch well you're fishing (don't name it as we have a no naming policy which is spot on and don't fancy crossing waterwolf after reading one of his previous posts  )
If so go for the drop offs

Welcome Del. Hope you get a good day out tomorrow. If your deadbaiting it can be a slow game but you do sometimes get the bigger fish on deads and you never know when one is going to turn up - thats fishing for ya. As the pike are quite active at the moment a wobbled bait can get results and fill out the time while you waiting for a run. BTW I like a small rainbow deadbait for the bigger fish

Good evening people fo the forum this will be my first season of piking and hopeing to catch some nice fish. I live in chandlers ford near southampton any other southerners on here? I will be going with a friend who is very experienced with all species of fish hopeing to learn things from him. I read the article on how to unhook pike very informative and has been noted. Tight lines hope to post some pics soon.
