Newbie drift to find the bottom is one of the introductory skills of fishing, you need to carefully observe the water surface and the bottom of the water, accurately determine the scope of activity of the fish and the degree of activity. The following is the method of drifting to find the bottom for novice anglers:

1. Determine the range of fish activity

First of all, you need to analyze the species of fish, habits, weather and other factors, and according to the fishing spot, the current and other conditions, to roughly determine the range of fish activity. Generally speaking, the activity area of the fish is mainly divided into three layers: the surface layer, the middle layer and the bottom layer, and different varieties of fish like different water depths and water temperatures, which need to be targeted to adjust.

2. Adjusting the float

After knowing the activity range of the fish, you need to adjust the float to find the optimal amount of floating. To determine the buoyancy and sensitivity of the float, generally speaking, the sinking state of the float should be clearly visible to the fish angler, and if it is embedded within the float, it will increase the angler's miss chances.

3. Determine the best position of the bait

After finding the best floating state, you need to place the bait in the best position under the float. Generally speaking, there are two options for placing the bait, one is to place it right below the float's lower waterline and the other is to place it in the area beyond the float's lower waterline. Different fish are active at different levels and you need to find the best spot for the current situation by constantly adjusting the position of the bait.

4. Adjusting the weight of the hook bait

If the fish are active in deeper water, the angler needs to adjust the weight and size of the hook bait. The purpose of adjusting the weight of the bait is to keep the line floating on the bottom of the water so that it is easier to feel the bite and pull of the fish.

The process of tuning for the bottom requires constant experimentation and adjustment. When the angler finds the best balance point, the float will float in a position tangent to the horizontal. Only after repeated attempts and constant adjustments can we find the best way to adjust the float to find the bottom, and more accurately catch the pattern of fish activities, making the fishing process smoother and more enjoyable.
