I used your advice (in a previous video) and caught my first carp with one on my margin pole last week. A nice easy bait to use.

I use 10 g is that ok for a pond

You are far from waffling andy you explain it really well when you go into one 😅

Why are longer hook lengths better because the hook will be further away from the feed or am I looking at it all wrong?

You ain't just a pretty face are ya Andy lad😅😅😅

How do you store your expanders during the day once you have opened the plastic bag they were stored in overnight?

I'm lucky with my chinese take aways in that I get extra sources in little baby plastic pots with really good sealing lids. I use those, I fill a couple of pots the night before, pop some water in, lid on, in the fridge and the next day, perfect expanders and then I freeze what I don't use. I aad any extra smells to the pellets just before the water goes in.

Expanders rule all the way through the year for me.

Go job it easy, you did enough for a month, to show us😱

Go on the expanders!

I freeze any I don't use and they still brilliant when defrosted 👍

how long will the last unopened in a fridge

Also. I think the magwise stuff. is actually...pronounced and spelt as 'Mogwai's'... in honour of the great Scottish band Mogwai. ( touring In FEB)

Sod the man made puddles...bollocks to that. But. I had to put some input in. The maggot feeder on proper waters like the Soar, Trent, Nene, Derwent, Erewash, upper Severn. is top bollocks that's my area of 60 mins from home. can even get up Sheffield and go on the Dove... But. it needs some patience. These are places where you need to be as soon as the bloody weather changes and we get some sun and wind.. Trout, Grayling, Bream ( fighter harder than puddle carp), Chub! Barbel!!! . Get on the Rivers. Obviously listen to Andy!!!! His timings are cool. You have to keep the bait going in. I'll batter him on a river though.... and Jamie!!....pfff. No POLES... as in Fishing gear, not... And, it's about having fun, but, working out stuff, I can't stand 90% of the stuff you show, but you Andy and Jamie are really, really excellent stuff, It's stupid but... yeah its...yeah, can't explain. It'll come one day, catch a fish on a bamboo rod, some dodgy hessian string and a safety pin Like Robinson crusoe or having to survive from a 1975 survival kit, it will...... it'll come... stupid as f*ck. but they'll have a go. And it's enjoyable, pathetic rubbish...yet...The pair of them are like 'Top gear'..complete and utter bollocks in their little competitions, nothing like what they offer will be remotely involved with anything regarding the real World. But, just in case. These two clowns will make sure.... Love ya both.

Brilliant vid again andy 👏 can I ask one question what maggot feeder do you use, I would love to try it the ones I use are side loaded if that makes sense but the bomb type my local shop don't seem to stock 😀 tight lines

Do you rekon most of the maggots leave the feeder by water pressure when feeder hits the water and falls through the water column?

15:48 😂

So right about keeping line tight when unhooking fish . I would turn off the anti reverse ! Oh dear ! Then take off bail arm ! Again oh dear ! But with a bait runner , put that on and it seems to work fine !

One thing I absolutely love about Mr May is his sheer joy at catching absolutely anything swimming, so many anglers these days are so focused on the biggest and best and have lost that joy of spending a day catching the little guys just for fun, never change Andy your an absolute legend mate. As always another brilliant video from the winning ways team. Thanks guys.

Wow Andy your knowledge and enthusiasm are unequalled it’s so relaxing watching you and learning different techniques don’t give up your day job lol keep up the excellent work

I'm a newbie and I have a question: if I change the bait constantly like that, is it possible that there are too many magots in the bait nest?

Great video andy

Thanks Andy, valuable lesson 😍

Was using same in the 80 s ,some sponge in bottom of the feeder ,soak in your favourite flavour,,I used to use dickie carrs ,, think it was called draw ,worked for me 😅,

Great video andy, this like the waggler is a dieing method, Used to use this method in the middle of winter ,when nothing else was biteing! 👍

I used to in hard winter use a magwise feeder and cut a piece of foam to fit feeder.....would soak it in corn steep/chopped worm.... fished with corn/worm ...still catching today 😊

This is my favourite. Also the first I leant.

What brand of maggot feeder is that please?

Would you add liquid flavouring's to the maggot feeder in winter, squeeze into the holes or dip in a glug?

Cheers Andy. I do love feeding those magwize!!!

How to you get the hook on the loop?

Many thanks for that Andy, valuable information mate. Since restarting fishing about 18 months ago, I've been a little apprehensive of joining my local club matches. It's been over 30 yrs since my last match, but, had my tackle nicked from my shed, and, quite simply didn't renew. But, there's been tremendous advice from the members, so, following your video, it's given me confidence for the commencement of our matches in 2025. Cheers buddy.

My club runs matches every couple of weeks and I started fishing them in August for a bit of fun - have met a fabulous bunch of anglers, the craic is beyond brilliant and we are always on a venue that has a great cafe for a big breakfast. Everyone helps everyone out if they are struggling too. No looking back for me now as I may be a match addict.

Love the advice Andy- however im from Liverpool and i struggle to find a club that's near to me or even taking people on- i don't fancy the canal league - id love the commercial scene- but i basically have to fish opens against the big boys

Can you freeze them?

I was quite happy fishing the local club matches around Oxford and then decided to have a go at qualifying for fish O in 98. Only went and won it on the canal at wolvercote !! Some geezer Called Steve ringer won the final!!!! My only claim to fame !!

Fished most of my life and always wanted to get into matches but don’t know why I haven’t, fear of the unknown? intimidated? Not sure. Series suggestion for filming, starting a campaign for a newbie, first match to first win, from the very beginning of sorting tackle in the shed to collecting first ever winnings covering every step of the way.

Does everyone have 16m poles and seat boxes at every match, or do you get some people that turn up with a couple of rods/reels sitting on a camping chair?

Hi Andy lad you're a legend pal so easy to listen to and understand what you're trying to explain keep up the good work winningways😊😊😊 Obviously you used double red pellet for hook bait but you said it was fishery pellets only is that just for feed then and any hook bait pellets?

Absolutely brilliant video - well done Andy 👍🎣

Fished first match on Combs resavoir in Derbyshire, pissing down freezing cold thought WTF am I doing.

Hi Andy, New angler and learning so much from yourself and Jamie Hughes! Ive even managed to get the kids interested!I have a question. What is a Poppadom? 🙂

Thats spot on. I fished club matches on our local canal in runcorn, and they were every weekend, with a midweek open. i fished every club match and started creaping up the page until i started framing, then i entered the 400 peg opens on the canal and the difference was unbelievable. Top anglers from all over the region showed up........... and i started beating them with my local knowledge............. but that was on my own stomping ground. It gave me the confidence that i was a good angler. i progressed to rivers and fished nationals, winning div 2 national section medals twice. but starting at clubs with a 10 pegger was the base for my knowledge.

Well said about the matches for those who have never fished them! Or turn up with a 28 year old atomic carp and wing your way through the matches 😂 oush, up the atomic boys! 😂

Some great tips, I do love a match but forget that there are so many points to remember, pole pot for one 👍👍🙌🏼🙌🏼🎣🎣

‘Can be cagey’ 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 Noooooo. 😀

I’d just go.. plonk gear down .. go for a cuppa and sarni in caffe .. come back forget I need another cuppa .. go back grab that.. come back match with brother and son in law would be 1 hour in then I’d start 🤣🤣🤣.. that’s why I pleasure fish but yes amazing video maybe I have my breakfast before I go ❤️❤️❤️❤️.. amazing video love it ..

I was 14 on the Trent and misery canal in trentham stoke. I beat 23 older men with just four fish . On peg 1 never fished another since
