Surface fishing fishing is really my favourite method. Need to gear up as you can see from the video they are off at a real rate of knots. Pedigree chum mixer biscuits banded on or bakers meat chunks work as well but the most visible is the bread. If at distance then a waggler float or better still a controller float get the hook out there and to get the feeding started take the time to scatter the biscuits or bread …. Wait until feeding starts then cast into the spot allowing drift of the hook at the same rate as the scatter. Margin at the side of the peg is good for dapping … so explosive. Brilliant instructive video

Great video as usual

My most favoured way to fish, up in the layers or on the surface. Great video compilation

Some nice fish for you there mate.😊

Good vid buddy .. I love me stubbie waggler fishing on the top .. luvit … cheers Chris & Sammy

personally I like the method feeder tactic, you've encouraged me to use it more in fact. keep up the good content ! from one matt to another ;)

I've watched carp cruising in a Wimslow anglers pool,they cruise midwater,usually in a formation of three (like fighter jets) In the summer the water columns differ in temperature,so the carp choose the water in the column that suits them to cruise in.

Some nice fish there Matt, always worth having some bread with you 👍🎣🐟🐠🐡

Bread for the win 🏆

Again another great video, first chuck westy, that tench was a better keep them coming

Had a fishing holiday in Wales over half term. Free lining bread was a winner all day long. I think it's the heat of the sun. The fish seem to like cruising in the higher levels of warmer water. And if the breads on offer, they'll take it. And I agree l, they always seem to be good size fish as well.

I have not been subscribed for long but see your videos on the method feeder and enjoy watching and learning.

What fisherie is this Westy. Thank you pal. 👌👌🎣

I see them around 20cm to 1m deep. If you dont have bread, earthworm is good too.

some great surface action matt..... i just luv slow sinking flake under a float its a killer method for most species when its warm.....i think they just dont see freelined floating baits as danger matt..they just nail it!..as so many are thrown in at the end of sessions by some anglers....tight lines...

hi westy like the video it good to try other tactics, though i have only ever caught one carp free lining not my strong point in fishing. i will defo have to give it another go.

Awesome looking fish 🐟 do you only fish with bread on a hot day as I've never used bread as hook bait

Hi Westy,I always watch your vids,but they were getting a bit 'samey' Your diversity in methods is a good idea.

Surface fishing is a fun tactic but sadly a lot fisheries around me banned them due the wildlife, except 1 fishery near me that I'm done fishing for them who are money grabbers.

Westy I've never tried pellet wagler do I need to buy a pellet wagler rod if so what do you recommend
