Hi and good afternoon to everyone, first of all I want to say a big thank you for letting me become a member to this great looking forum.
I fish a few times a week during the summer months mainly, although I did go back on Tuesday, my main methods I try are ledgering with boilies and PVA bags full of boilies, maggots, sweetcorn, anything basically. And whilst I'm waiting for the bite alarms to go I have a go with just a standard float with maggots or sweetcorn. So I don't fish a huge amount of time as it's usually just once per week so I guess I am inexperienced.
My problem is guys is that I hardly ever catch anything, most of the times I am lucky to get a tiny roach out of a whole day lol, and it is seriously baffling me why I'm not catching more and this is what I would please like to ask, what could I be doing wrong? I have tried to research and so far I have come across "watercraft" does this mean that fish can be miles down the other end of the lake and not in my part? I have also recently learned about plumbing the depth, apparently fish are mostly on the bottom, I have tried my hardest to get as accurately on the bottom with my float method but when I sit there hours without a single bite I start going shallower and shallower and just waiting for bites but still no luck.
I have tried throwing maggots in little and often, other times throwing lots in, and other times just having the ones on my
Hook, just nothing seems to work. The bite alarms never go off, the fisheries I fish have excellent reviews and are supposedly well stocked, but I just sit here baffled beyond belief why I just can't seem to catch. I have had some reasonable sessions but 90% of the time I just can't catch anything.
The next thing I will try and have found upon research is groundbaiting, guys anything you reply with, your ideas why I just can't catch etc I will appreciate so much!
Thank You for reading
