hookedoncarp Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hi All, For a while now ive been thinking about all the fish i see swimming around on the surface when im fishing (on the bottom). So i was thinking of setting a rod up for a bit of surface fishing, i am thinking of tying a hook straight to my mainline and freelining some bread off the surface. Has anyone had much luck with this method? If so i think at the very least itll give me something to do whilst waiting for the alarms to sound.

david1982 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 i love it, fake bread is often the way if you have to cast a bit of a distance, i'd just advise to use a fairly small hook and look for the line tightening as bite indictaion. alternatively you could use a float but your way just freeling is more fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookedoncarp Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 yeah i like the idea of just free lining it. As lazy as it sounds i cant be bothered setting up a rod with floating tackle, it was more just a quick set up idea if i ever saw the fish on the surface.. thanks for the tip tho.

david1982 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 also, i usually find using dog biscuits on a hook ring with occasional free offerings to be even more productive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookedoncarp Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 i was thinking of hiding the hook in the bread by simply wrapping bread around it. Watched a dvd the other day and a guy was on it and caught a 25lb mirror from just free lining... i thought must give this a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraserking Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I love this method and in high summer it accounts for some great catches and quick action. last summer I put the bread encased hook in some PVA mesh with a bit of gravel to be able to get distance and control on the cast. I thought it would spook the fish but they barely noticed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
