What Is Float Fishing?
Float fishing is where you use a floating indicator to help catch fish. This indicator is called a float. Floats have a bright tip that allows you to see it easily. The float is attached to your fishing line. It acts as a visual indicator between your rod and hook bait. When a fish picks up your hook and swims away, the float is pulled beneath the water. When you see the float disappear, you know that you have a fish. You can use floats to fish the whole depth of the water. i.e. from the surface right down to the bottom. This lets you put your hook bait right where the fish are. Professional Match fishermen are able to keep catching fish, even when the fish have moved up or down in the water. Floats come in different shapes and sizes. Choosing the right float depends on the type of fishing you want to do. You can use floats on many different types of venues. i.e. from deep or shallow lakes, to fast or slow rivers.
