So today was the 2nd match of our winter league, and I came second and won some money which made a nice change from being pools fodder, anyway, to get too the point,
It was hard today, weighed in 14lb, fishing between cage feeder with ground bait and red maggot on the hook, and waggler at 8/9m, the wind and swell from right to left was really pushing through at times, so here was the problem, keeping the waggler in the swim, I started off with a 3gram straight waggler, with a bulk about 300mm from the hook and 1no. AA on the deck, that didn't work and was hard to keep track off, changed to a drift beater float, with only weight on the hook length 100mm from the hook, this was better but still not great, in the end I changed to a 8gram drennan missile, really overkill and 2 ssg's on the hook length, this worked but was murder to cast, what could I have done differently in the situation?
