I'm sure it was in the last Des Shipp Q&A, I might be mistaken, but he mentioned (I think it was for pellet fishing) that he prefers to fish over-depth rather than at exact depth.
The Hook Length Box thread got me thinking, as I can't guarantee my hooklengths are exactly the same length, it's rare when float fishing commercials, whatever bait I use (usually maggots as I fish in Winter) that I plumb to exact depth, I am usually 2 inches on bottom or just off bottom in rarer certain situations.
Do you plumb up to exact depth and am I doing it wrong?
Theory is that the fish don't touch the line as they swallow the bait so you get better bites.
