Surface Fishing

[limmy]

Hello ,

 

Being very new to carp fishing Me and my lad are going to a small pond where the carp are known to take off the surface with bread and dog biscuits.

 

What will i need and how do i set my rod up to fish the surface?

 

Any tips and hints would be great

I use the fox bubble floats as you can fill them with water to give you casting weight, a floating braided mainline for quick lifting when striking, 4ft of 8lb floating line, and a multitude of different baits ie, pop up boilies, zig bugs, flies, imitation and normal dog biscuits, anything that floats.

Check out the Gardner Suspender Controller. They look a bit funny but they work a treat. In my humble opinion, they give the best floater presentation possible.
