Where do you put the bobber on a fishing line?
by
Place your bobber 6-12″ from your rod tip and make sure your line is not wrapped around your rod. Before you cast, look behind you to be sure no one else is there. Also, check for trees and bushes that can get in your way.
At the moment you should have a float on the line, fixed at about 18 inches (45 cm) up the line from the hook. If you swing the line out into the water now, the float will either lay flat on the surface or perhaps poke out of the water several inches.

What depth do you set float fishing?
The reason for this is that your float holds the bait up or suspends it, and this means your float can prevent your bait from getting deep enough. You want to set the depth of your float so that the bait is 8 to 16 inches off the bottom of the river because that puts the bait right in the fish’s face.
What happens if the float is set too high?
In an extreme case, if the floats are set too high, fuel will overflow via drillings inside the carb body. In addition, fuel may flow into the engine unrestricted, which, if the engine is not running, can cause hydraulic lock – that is, as the piston rises on the compression stroke it cannot compress the fuel.
If the float height is too high, this will cause the fuel to rise to a level above the operational spec. If the fuel height is a bit too high and the bike is running, the engine will display a rich running condition, which will make the throttle response slow and the engine note muffled.
Should I float fish on the bottom?
Fish do not always feed on the bottom. For different reasons at different times of the year, fish can be near the surface or in mid-water. A float can be used to set the bait at a particular depth, not just on the bottom.

How much volume do you need to float?

What depth should I fish at?
The standard depth of most fisheries is between 4ft and 8ft. Some man-made waters can be up to 5 times that depth. The most important thing to remember is to not over-think it. Just because the water is deep doesn’t mean you should re-think your entire process of fishing.
When studying populations of a flounder-like North Sea fish called plaice in the early 1900’s, a man named Heincke noticed that older, larger fish are found deeper in the water than younger, smaller fish.
Is fishing better when water is high or low?
As water levels rise, fish consistently move closer to the water’s edge. This means that while you may want to fish deeper out in the lake, reservoir or river during the late summer and fall, you should spend much of your spring fishing closer to the banks.
