most enjoyable way of fishing

[steve devon]

feeder rod
shimano sahara great reel
with 10lb main line
8-10lb trace
little pat rig
1oz lead or less
frop it down the side of a pontoon or pier whatever
bread for bait

sometimes cast it but hardly ever

places i fish you can just drop it

thats a nice way of fishing as well but i think freelining still has it for me
i have happy memories of going fishing on still, crisp frosty mornings with my grandad and dad down on the river after pike :)

I voted spinning, but float is my second choice, off rock marks for wrasse. Don't have much success though ops:

i use a float besicaly cause its easy to control it along the river banks
when the tide is running out! thats where the mullet seem to be at this
time of the tide! other times i wont use any float or weight and just float
bread down the river depends on how hard the river is flowing!
The other methods i use are same as you and i also use a 10ft ledger rig
for the high tides to or a running ledger for the still water so they dont
feel the resistance of the weight I find they work for me :wink: but
like i say we all fish diferent ways and its nice to here how you all do it

i chose float! Spinning is my second.

i like float cos i love that feeling when the float goes down and you drop every thing else you're doing and concentrate so hard on your float and when it next goes down STRIKE!! also you know that there is fish there!!

[Ben]

float is good in that aspect but you cant really use it when the water is flowing to hard i find
i have never got on with spinning (this could be because i have never caught with spinning)
it just seems to be alot of work for a very low pay back but then again alot of fishing is like this
spinning more than others though because you have to cast alot and it doesnt seem as peaceful and relaxing as float or freelining
i guess it depends what you fish for
i fish because its relaxing and i enjoy it and catching fish is just an added bonus if it happens

i get lots of mackerel and gar spinning

great fun watching them follow it aswel

if you think its hard work then your rod probs isnt right

you need a rod thats comfortable and you can hold it all day

[Norfolkboy]

what size rod do you use for it??

[Ben]

i have never really tryed that much and i usualy just use a light rod with an old mitchel reel

[DownSouth]

I have a Shakespeare Odessa Flattie rod that I use for spinning and float fishing
