Hi all
I'm bait fishing a very weedy estuary. If I use a shock leader I get weed up the line and it ruins the fish fight but usually have enough strength to land the fish and the seaweed. If I don't have a leader I can't cast as far as need too and use suitable heavy lead. I fish at slack water at end of ebb so reduce weed and locate fish but I need way keep weed of my line. I can work with some on the rig and lead but when half way up the line I can loose fish.
Anyone got any tips. I use a single hook running ledger straight onto the leader to reduce knots but with no leader I less weed but not fishing properly.
