Ok, numpty question time!!
I've managed to accumulate quite a bit of soft plastic this year, but it's rare for it to stay on the end of my line for more than a few minutes at a time . . . . . why ? . . . . . well frankly, i just don't know what the hell i'm doing with it !!! I honestly 'don't' feel like i'm actually fishing when i've got it on (much the same as i felt with hard-plastics this time last year btw). So, that brings me to my numpty question . . . . . . .
I know that there are vast amounts to learn about how to use these things, but the very first one which is bamboozling me at the moment, is "What depth to fish them?".
Yesterday, whilst fishing down West Wales, i clipped on a Xorus Rolling Shad, and started casting out across a surf from the rocks at the side of a bay. But i found myself getting confused over whether i should let it sink to the bottom & bump it or jig it higher in the water, what speed . . . blah blah blah.
If i can just get my head around 'depth', then that will be a start.
