Hello everyone, I've been a member here for almost a month and did warn you all when I joined that I'd be asking lots of unanswerable questions as my new hobby takes its hold.
It's taken me this long to summon the courage to embarrass myself enough to ask question 1 so here goes.
I've just bought a 'proper' pole and love it, now I'd love to know what floats I should be buying? I simply have no idea? I watch videos on YouTube on shallow fishing, deep fishing, margin fishing and depending on which sponsored angler's video I'm watching their floats are the best thing out there. My current regime is as follows:
- Go to the tackle shop with a particular set of floats in mind, see the racks upon racks of floats, find a quiet corner of the shop and curl up in the fetal position.
- As above but then instead of asking someone in the shop who actually knows their arse from their elbow, walk up to the rack, pretend I know what I'm doing and pick a few up and go pay for them, get home and stare at them in my man cave so my family can't hear me swearing because I've no idea what they're for.
It goes without saying that my current system is only beneficial to the tackle shop's coffers.
As a guide and in an effort to assist you all assist me, I fish/attempt to fish at Lindholme lakes (I love the place) and I love commercial fishing. I truly could probably do with some paid coaching but as a Hunter Gatherer I've convinced myself that I'm going to be perfectly fine. I'm after a range of floats that I can use on commercials in most conditions.
Would a simpler question to answer be something like 'where does your lap go when you stand up?' or 'How many full stops are there in a bottle of ink?' Or would you suggest I try to find a Lindholme regular who would be willing to mentor me for a while? I'd love nothing more than to enter the regular matches held at Lindholme at some point. (I actually LOL'd then, nose bubble and everything)
Question 2 is coming up soon and it'll be a lot easier, it's all to do with molecular science theory and probably a piece of cake to answer
As always, I appreciate drinking from the fountain of knowledge that is MD and thank you all in advance
