Brilliantly made Jon and especially loved the Nick Larkin comment.. I’ve been fortunate enough to have been pegged next to him a few times and without being creepy (I hope 😬) watched him closely and he’s really smooth and almost effortless on the pole feeder , .. perhaps you’d consider venturing over to the Yare on one of the festivals one day and meet up with him, you could do a video together 🤔 “Jon meets…” it would make a great series…. it’s a great river 👊🏻 thanks again Jon , something different 👍🏻

Its a nice tactic on the right day

Neat method, used to do something similar in the 80's on the sincil drain and Witham. The difference was I used to balance the feeder or bomb and fish it stret pegging style with a bow in the line so they hooked themselves against the weight, bites were sail aways. The pole was a flick tip only so no elastic. Would use a peacock quill piece flat on the surface. It also used to work for gudgeon in the trent in flood.

hi John, thanks for your repIy live in France and 90% of my fishing is tackling the many rivers particularly the Seine and the Yonne in my area feeder fishing is predominant but also Bolo to cope with the deep and usual . During the summer with less water on big stick and waggler up in the water is possible but to get through the bleak😂( like sardines out here ) to the better roach dace and odd larger chub can be costly on the bait front . Tried feeding heavily with more hemp but soon as you put a caster or maggot on, even double it’s a monster bleak a Chuck and all day . What would you do??

@JonArthur

7 ай бұрын

Sorry I missed this. If the bleak are piranhas there are only two boats I tend to use. One is a tare and the other is half a worm. However, you could also try feeding the bleak shorter with cloud and pinkies and then fish beyond them over potted in balls. They home in on any noise, so feed and leave that line.

A very pleasurable & interesting few hours Jon

Like this method Jon and have even used it on a still water with great success. Rig wise you mentioned external elastic section, found this great when fishing for smaller fish, better indication, setup about 6in of 5/6 elastics and 8in of 8lb line tied between a loop and Stonfo. Don’t like using heavy main elastic so 10/12 for 20gram inline cage feeder and less chance of it coming back smashing your pole tip.
