Fishing - Our 2nd trip!!

We had 4 out, 3 roach.... and another that looked like a roach but without
the red fins?? Any ideas?

Also we used the rigs that came with our 3m and 5m Leeda whips.... we failed
to catch on them.. I swapped to some Dinsmore readt made rigs.... a canal
rig and a meat rig.... these produced our catch.

The only difference seemed to be the size of the float.. the Dinsmore being
small, lighter and less bulky? Would this be the reason for our improved
luck??

Also... it was a glorious sunny day!! When the sun is high in the sky how
should i adapt my tactics??
