Plumbing the depth is done by systematically plumbing the area in front of you.
Cast out in front, let the float settle, make a mental note of the depth.
Lift the rod and pull the plummet a little closer.
Let the line go slack to allow the float to settle, then again make a mental note of the depth.

How do you set up a simple float rig?
With the fishing line attached, thread the line through the middle of all the rod rings. Then thread the float on to the line, through the eye in the bottom of the float. Select two medium sized sinkers [split shot] and put one either side of the float, with the float about 18 inches (45 cm) up the line.
How do you plumb for float fishing?
Plumb and float fishing is very popular with anglers as it’s a great way to catch fish. You can set the distance between your plummet and float of around 3ft. Lower or cast the tackle into the water. If the depth of water is greater than the distance between your flaot and plummet your float will be pulled under the water. If it’s less the float will stand out of the water or lie flat on the surface.
Add a section of pole at a time and plumb around the swim, lowering the plummet straight down, not at an angle, to ensure an accurate reading of the swim. Once you have got the exact depth of the swim, hook your hook into the base of your pole top kit. This will pull the elastic out slightly and secure your rig.
How do you plumb a pole float?
To plumb a pole float, you’ll first need to get an anchoring point of some sort. Then you’ll need to secure the float to this anchor point. Then, you’ll need to lower the float to the surface. Then, you’ll need to open the valves on the float. Finally, you’ll need to fill the float.

Casting. You must put your waggler in the same spot every time, so casting to a permanent, far bank marker like a tree or staging is a good idea.
