Thanks Andy for your reply. "on the bomb" I assume means ledgering with an arlesey bomb? I forgot to mention, we did give that a go, my inlaw managed a nice barble and a carp. I caught mainly barble on meat on the float about 6' to 8' off the bank. Was interested to find out how to increase catch rate!!
ie particular set up, be it float, ledger, or swimfeed
