Surface Fishing
Hi Everyone
Done my first surface fish today with bread, WOW, I managed to break my personal best and hooked a 15lb carp......along with a few other nice ones, all over 10lb...
need some advice?
I was surface fishing on quiver tip,....each time I caught I had untangle my line, break it off and start again, its 15lb line on the reel, with a bubble float with 10lb line attached, is the line rubbish? cause seems its stretching every time...... or am I doing something wrong?
My son has 10lb line on carp rod, and he had no problems......
cheers
Karen ....Carp lover lol

Re: Surface Fishing
Well done on the new PB, keep it up, as for line, might be worth going to 10lbs main line, as your using 10lbs as a hooklink, what line is your 15lbs, some lines can be really wirery, and not good at all....

Re: Surface Fishing
changed me line to a 10lb line and was pulling them out all day long......well I had 7, lol
got me scales now so can weigh them instead of having to guess, but I think 15lb is still my best catch...and I am loving it.
