Just a hook tied direct to the line, no other terminal tackle except maybe a shot to get the bread to sink (but only add this if really necessary). The bread will wave about as it sinks and entice them to hit it quite aggressively so your sub float will go zooming off more often than not. Some times you'll hear the shot r

Nice fish armchair, I'd estimate them both to be in the 10-12lb range but it's hard to say from photos

Nice pictures Georgia, well done

Brilliant catch mate, well done

Fantastic photos, looks like a beautiful place to fish. Beats sitting on a commercial match venue any day!!

Fantastic fish!
