ONE of the big advantages of surface fishing is that it allows you to single out bigger fish – unlike fishing on the bottom, when it’s down to pure chance half the time which fish picks up your bait.

When carp are up in the water – which they often are at this time of the year – fish up in the water. It’s simple to master and a far more mobile and exciting way to fish than sitting behind a set of motionless bobbins in your swim all day long.
