Biscuit Wrapper Bite Indicater
Posted: Sun Aug 29, 2021 9:49 am
I was float fishing a pond recently which wasn't fishing well at all. Normally I would have given up and gone home but I was a member of the canebenders team fishing against Ravenfields elite matchmen. It would not have been considered sporting had I stomped off in a tizzy.
The chap fishing next to me, a member of the opposition, had 4 rods set up and was swapping between them and I noticed he was catching the odd fish whilst I was blanking in fine style.
Right, thought I, time to set up a second rod and try a maggot feeder. I duly threaded up my 500, cast towards a mid pond cage and then realised my state of the art painted cork bobbin bite indicator was not in my tackle bag
I had read about people using silver paper folded over the line but had non....or so I thought.
It struck me that my mint chocolate club biscuit had a foil wrapper, time for a snack!
I folded it neatly and placed it over the line but it danced around in the breeze ......useless.
So I pinched on a shot either side which improved things no end
A few moments later the indicator shot upwards as a snotty 2lb 3oz one eyed bream took my bait.
That increased my tally to 2lb 6oz
It made my neighbour giggle.
