Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to use flaoting baits but also anchoring the bait so it is in a fixed location.

One thing will never change - and that is the challenge of pitting your wits against the natural cunning of our quarry - the fish.

Another method is using a stop knot above your float, which limits how far the float can slide up the line. This allows you to control the depth and position of the bait precisely, keeping it from drifting too far with wind or currents. Placing the float and hooks at the right distance below the stop knot ensures your bait stays suspended just where you want it.
Finally, sinking the line between the float and your rod will help reduce surface drift from wind or boat movement. After casting, you can pull the rod tip underwater while reeling in a few turns to sink the slack line below the float, stabilizing it more firmly in one place. Combining these tips lets you fish floating baits anchored where you want for better results.
