"-the golden rule is the length from your float to your weight, (not to your hook, but from float to weight), should be less than the depth of the water you are fishing by at least a foot...in fact usually more than that is better as you want your hook floating above the fish's heads...not disturbing them or spooking them at all...enticing them to strike, not striking them
"
So I thought I would try floating a little higher than I usually do and see what happens. I get at the designated fishing area and start fishing. It was a ncie day, i saw a dozen coho swim thru during the day but none would take on roe/whool/spinner. I fished this area for about five hours and landed but two chums and a spring without a single coho even looking twice at my bait. at this point I was thinking that Ribwart is full is crap and this technique sucks when I finally hooked into a nice buck. Brought it home and put it on the scale, 11lbs gutted so I was happy. Thanks for the tips Ribwart, more tips are always welcome...
Note:
I often go fishing with my girlfriends father and he likes to see results. This worried me because I though that he was going to become a bottom bouncer or snagger cause they were generally hitting alot more fish even though many were snagged. After seeing his float-weight and weight-float get longer and longer after every outing it was nice to land my first hoe of the year and see his setup go back to normal.
