CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW THE FACEBOOK PAGE! Introduction Trotting a stick float is a fantastic method for river fishing. Trotting allows you to run a bait down stream searching out a swim rather than waiting for the fish to come to you. Although trotting isn't as popular as it once was it still has its place in river fishing, In the right situation trotting can still dominate over pole and feeder tactics. Trotting is an art form and perfecting the method comes with practice. This article takes you through all the essentials for a successful days trotting. Tackle Rods A true trotting rod for rivers should be light weight and have a soft forgiving tip action. This helps to avoid hook pulls and breakages of the low diameter hooklenghs. These kind of rods are far different to most of the float rods on the market at the moment with most rods now aimed towards towards commercial carp fisheries. Buying second hand is usually the best option but there are a few appropriate rods on the market i...

A complete guide to open ended feeder choice on rivers

Introduction This is my guide to feeder choice when river fishing.  As a beginner it is easy to walk into a tackle shop and be bewildered by the amount of feeders to choose from of all different shapes and sizes so I aim to make that choice a little easier by explaining the two types of feeders I use for all of my river fishing and how the fishing situation dictates my choice on the day.  When feeder fishing it is important that we make the fish feed in a way that makes them easy to catch and feeder choice allows us to dictate how the fish feed on the day. If you want to become a serious feeder angler then it is important to carry a large variety of feeders to suit all situations. I carry my feeders in double sided tackle boxes as shown below allowing my to swap and change easily during a session. The cage feeder Overview The cage feeder is made up of a plastic or wire mesh. The way a cage feeder is designed means that the groundbait inside is very expo...

A complete guide to shallow fishing for F1's and Ide!

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW THE BLOG ON FACEBOOK Introduction Shallow fishing is the number 1 method on most commercial fisheries in the summer months. In this article we take a look at how we fish shallow for species such as F1's and Ide. This is something I have based around the pellet waggler but I have refined the approach to target smaller more shy biting species. Tackle Rod A light float rod between 10 and 12ft is perfect for catching shallow on your typical commercial fishery. Reel With constant re-casting being an essential part of all shallow fishing techniques a small and light reel is essential. A reel of a 2500/3000 size should be perfect for this style of fishing. Mainline The mainline should be as light as possible. This makes casting easier and is less visible to the fish getting you extra bites on those really tough days. A 4lb mainline is best, stepping up to 5lb if there's a good chance that you are going to be hooking a few big bonus fish throughout your sess...
