Hook on the end of the line! seriously, nothing could be simpler or more effective!

You could use a tiny float if you wanted.

Cant beat worms or a bit of floating crust mate.

 

Use what your confident with.

wud u put it in straight away or get their heads down first on some pellets or particles

Good question!

 

Up to you really, a single bait may catch them out or a small bed of bait may grt them feeding confidently.

id do it john wilson style!

 

just a simple little peacock waggler attatched to the line via a piece of rubber at the bottom fished the "lift" method or just as a flat float up in the water

 

as for bait, id do as adam said good old garden worm or a piece of breadcrust:)

I agree with adam, free lining is best.

 

If not for you, then add a pole float. I use either a (Middy??) carp no.5 in 0.5 gram if I'm casting, or a 0.1 gram wire stemmed float of fishing close in. Either way, it's just there as an indicator. Generally best to strike when you see the line move rather than the float.

 

For bait, something heavy that's castable.

 

Breadpaste is good. a whole, or a half, green lipped mussel is also good. For paste, something a bit smaller than a golf ball is what you want. Slugs are also good. a big ( BIG!! ) bunch or worms is also awesome if you nip the tails off each one. Try and get ten on a size two hook.

 

My friend is using monster halibut pellets and is doing well.
