Simple Match Fishing Forum

kenty we are all fishing that league mate just ask its a cracking league and a good laugh 

i wonder if them long eaton boys will be on it this year

very kind of you mark,it all comes with time fishing against the best with the best and talking with the best but you still got to do it your self,feeding is the key but you need to no how to catch according to your feed or why your feeding the way you are  but the bottom line is if your on fish you will catch barring a disaster, it's just the better you get the more you catch,floats are small part as are how you shot up but you need to understand what your trying to do, why your feeding what and where and for what, whats the peg worth it all matters then fish according.like i say thats just my take on it not to sound like i no it all as i dont.some of my best catches have come when feeding it raw out of the pack and fished a positive rig no fuss tip in and catch you just need to be on a few.

bloody hell scotty i thought it was easy but thats spot on feeding where when a lot of joker a small amount topping up soil neat G/B DEPTHS its great when you get into it though

Sorry what I am trying to say noing what your fishing for and where is more important. Than your float to a degree,most canal floats will go under it just makes it easy if you have fed your kit right.sorry again.

Too far for me to travel, 15 mins

thanks for all the replies fellas..

Funnily i have a rake of Richards squatt floats.. reckon i may give them a try..

Its the feeding that is going to throw me.. Go little and easy to start with me thinks.. lol

Loads of lads in the know been using em all year round on the venue as they make the perfect shallow canal squatt float aswell as joker / bloodworm float .

"Take it easy" The biggest mistake anglers new to joker fishing make.

Thats the original squatt floats with the 1mm plastic tips Joff, Mine are the same shape, they just have a different bristle, I love um!

Almost identical to the Fox 'uns. Fox did em with two different types of bristle.

where can thee get hold of them lattimer shell floats from then joff lad

Leeds angling centre have access to a lot
of lattimers... I get my squatt floats from there....

Sensas brascia spelling could be wrong but its something like.there awsome pal grey and black in colour .10 up to 1 grm or there abouts great shape wire steam and bristle iv painted my bristle up and doped the float.not find many better and unlike dufiles they take more or less the same shot.good luck mate.p.s. these are what I use for my shallow canal fishing depth and flow will mean diffrent floats so there isn't an ultimate allround float in my eyes.

The Brescia's are my favourite b&j float,but can be a little sensitive when theres any tow or wind.Unless its really hard,i use these.......

lookin the canal specials there will be a float to meet ur needs

Scotty, sound advice as usual!! People can only learn from the best! I personally use the preston PB14s (the new style one with the fibre tip) brilliant little float, dot down nice so you can see them when the light is bad as can sometimes be the case on the shallow canals. Set one up with a bulk and two droppers and another with a spread shotting pattern, normally a 4x14 and a 4x10 if your fishing the bottom of the far shelf. Keep it simple by feeding two lines left and right one being positive 150ml and the other not so 75ml and take it from there. 90% of the time i will just feed it straight out the pack in winter, but if there is a distinct tow on the water or you have to break ice then adding a little grey leam is a good idea Hope this helps you mate. Oh and just to throw a spanner in the works.... Make sure you take bread!!
