Float fishing is an interactive, fast paced style of fishing which is perfect for catching the smaller species of fish within Euro Fishing.

It isn t suitable for Digger Lakes which is a carp only venue. FLOAT FISHING Float Fishing Once in the lake open the Tackle Box and make sure the Waggler Float is equipped.

Watch the float here or look at the Waggler in the water and wait for the fish to take the line. Before a fish takes the bait the line must be nice and tight.

Watch out for the float to move as this will indicate a bite.

7 Float fishing is an interactive, fast paced style of fishing which is perfect for catching the smaller species of fish within Euro Fishing. Float fishing is ideal for targeting our non-carp species as well as smaller carp. For first time float fishing it is recommended trying Match Lake, L Arene, or The Observatory. It isn t suitable for Digger Lakes which is a carp only venue. FLOAT FISHING Float Fishing Once in the lake open the Tackle Box and make sure the Waggler Float is equipped. Bait can be changed to something like Bloodworms or Maggots but Bread is a good option too. Cast the float into the water, once the float is in the water a float symbol will appear. Watch the float here or look at the Waggler in the water and wait for the fish to take the line. Before a fish takes the bait the line must be nice and tight. If the line is slack, try reeling it in a little to tighten it up. Try not to move the float around too much while waiting for a bite or the fish will be spooked. Watch out for the float to move as this will indicate a bite. To strike, pull the rod back towards the character or in the opposite direction to the fish s movement, similar to how a cast is performed. Timing is key, strike too soon or too late and the fish will escape. A successful strike will mean the fish is on. PERFECT STRIKE GOOD STRIKE POOR STRIKE The hook quality will be stated after a successful strike. The hook quality is based on the timing and power of the strike - a poorly timed strike and the hook will not be perfectly set. Coupled with a lot of tension on the line, then there is a high probability the fish will escape. A perfect hook quality will mean there is less potential for the fish to escape on high tension, but it is still ideal to aim for lower tension.
