I like to float fish for Crucians using sweetcorn and breadflake. Trick is to dot your float right down so it looks as though only the surface film of the water is stopping it from sinking. (Use a bit of vaseline to help hold it in the surface film if required)

Careful plumbing of your swim is required as well for me. I have the bait just touching bottom.

As ryan says, they can be REALLY shy and finicky.
