Hi All,
New to fishing so would be great if I could get a few pointers and tips..
First off, when using a cigar float for example off rocks how do you ascertain the depth of the water?
I have the powergum for the stopknot etc but can't figure out how to get the depth at the bottom to then try differing depths.
I know how to plumb the depth when coarse fishing but this is a totally new ball game when fishing maybe 30ft plus.
Secondly, I tried fishing in Kilkee last week spinning frozen sandeel but each cast there was a huge amount of kelp and I literally couldn't fish.
Was I in the correct place - just off the raod where it takes a sharp left hand bend on the way up to the pollack holes?
Also, was I fishing using an incorrect method? I had a 3 way swivel with a 3oz lead with a 2 foot flowing hooklength being slowly retrieved.
Any help greatly appreciated!

Re: Float Depth & Kilkee Weed
I'm seriously thinking of getting one these! http://www.fishtec.co.uk/online.cfm/fis ... /yes/30614PJKaiser wrote:can't figure out how to get the depth at the bottom to then try differing depths.
A bit pricey but at least you know what you are fishing over

Re: Float Depth & Kilkee Weed
That fishfinder certainly looks good..
Guess that is the only way to get the depth
