Question: If you are fishing with livies on floats when should you strike? (if i were trying catching bonnies/kingies)
I tried striking when the float went under but it didn't set then other times I waited longer hoping the bait would get swallowed but found myself getting baited. Any tips?
when fishing with a float, you usually have some slack line. So when the float goes down (it also depends on how fast it goes down), leave your rod bent facing the float until the line gets tight, the fish would hook itself, then strike (this is to mainly sink the hook in) and sometimes to muscle the fish if needed.
