One of my favourite fisheries, been fishing there 20+yrs & watched the Carp grow. My PB from there is 22lbs 5ozs Mirror. Fought like stink for 15+mins. I caught it from 3rd peg on lake, as you approach the island in the shallow water. Brilliant little fishery. As you like your silver fishing, there are some cracking Roach in there that can be caught in Autumn/Winter, go up to 2lbs & plenty of them. 👍🏻🎣

That was a good watch. I am going tomorrow to the piscators lakes in Watford Herts to do some method fishing. Being 70 I don't need the sleep you youngsters need I be ready by 5am.

using the drag to tire the fish is ok if there are no obstacles, if they head for the reed every single time you have to risk getting the line broken without (much) drag. I also experienced that the margins (unfortunately reed areas) work every single time, summer or winter. Westys' my favorite method feeder channel, can't wait for the next one!

I have heard that reeds/rushes can hold heat in winter so it can attract them. How true that is I don’t know. Yes exactly, that last fish was powering for the opposite peg, so it’s make a choice, put the pressure on or the fish get wrapped up around it! 🎣👌🏻

Hi, no Chorley area

Have you tried cat biscuits

Hey Westy, I have binged watched your videos over the last week, as I am just about to get into feeder fishing and have a couple of questions for you and your viewers. I consider myself a fairly experienced float angler (waggler and pole), but never played with feeders. I am havinga terribly hard time deciding on a feeder rod that can cope with fish around 15lbs but also with skimmers and an occasional bigger roach. You are the first angler I have seen fishing proper specimen carp rods on a method or bomb, with bite alarms. Would you recommend a similar setup for someone like me, who has never fished this method before or should I stick to a traditional feeder rod? I am tempted to fish as you do for the most part, as I could then use the speci rod for other applications, thefore getting more value. Any sgestions, thouhts will b greatly appreciatd. Keep up the great videos !

@WestysAngling

10 ай бұрын

The greys prodigy tx are great rods. Most feeder rods can cope with big fish these days and are very affordable, look at the guru A-class and the Shimano X1 feeder rods . Stick to something around 10ft Easier for fishing them in the margins. There is nothing to stop you putting your feeder rod on a bite alarm just make sure you use a small bait-runner real. There are a few key points to fishing the method on bite alarms , you want to make sure the insert is tight into your method feeder and you want to make sure you tighten up to the feeder as well , you want the fish to set the hook itself. I use the tip for some situations and my specimen rods for others, but as you say a light specimen rod can have multiple uses 👌🏻
