Hi guys,
I started fishing back end of 2019 with a trip to a local commercial fishery stocked heavily with silverfish. I got a 5 minute lesson with the owner who told me all I needed was a whip and maggots. I caught tiny fish every few minutes. I returned there a couple of times.
Following that, I bought a set up recommended from my local tackle shop. Light rod and reel for float fishing. Whilst I find the whole setting up etc more fun and authentic, I just can't get anywhere near the same success I do as when using the whip. I keep bait the same, just maggots.
I know that fishing has many intricacies, so if you could fire some potential suggestions at me, I'll give them all a go the next time I'm at the lake. Thanks in advance!
