Just really getting into float fishing and I've been told that the best method of float (waggler) fishing is on the bottom. The local shop sold me a weighted 'clip' to place onto the hook then cast, each time raising the float until it is visible. Then you know you're fishing at the right depth. I.E. with bait touching the bottom.
Now for my predicament. Where I fish there are Bream, roach, carp and tench. Advice for these is to lay the bait in the bottom. Does this mean that the weighted clip should be attached to the last weight (8-10cms from the hook)? What happens if the floor of the pond is uneven, surely this means that unless the cast is in exactly the right position, I'll be forever moving the float and re-casting?
Any advice gratefully received. Many thanks.
