Pole Fishing Southfields Reservoir: Mainline Match Fishing TV -

Southfields Reservoir is normally known as a feeder fishing water but that doesn't put England International and Mainline Match Angler Matt Godfrey off. Away from the norm Matt decides to try and catch using the Pole, a method rarely used on this large water. Packed full of tips to help you catch more fish this film will get you out on the bank catching just like Matt.

Brilliant Matt 👍🙂⭐️

[@WoolavyLeeWilliams]

We used to always catch massive hybrids very close in on the Huntspill, fought like mad, never seemed to catch as many on the long pole or feeder.
Nice little vid guys 👍

Fished southfeid 20 +years, that 4-5m line can be deadly😁

[@shauncorless8965]

I've fished matches were the method was feeder as far out as possible ,,,and it was won on whip 😮

Love matts videos. But don't know why you film end of pole when you can't see the float. Need a better camera to focus on float.

[@mainlinematchfishingtv2921]

Thanks for the comment, Jason. If you watch it on a normal big screen TV you can see the float clearly. Matt blacked the tip and dotted it down. But Like i say on a tv you can see it. Cheers.

Only u top man

Matt another underwater series testing groundbaits?

[@pleasantville4529]

Fantastic stuff Matt. Like a trip down memory lane, when Bream were the main target, and before the Carp obsession began. I'd chose this type of fishing over any other. One question, would you ever consider this approach in a match situation?

[@paulhunt4546]

Matt salt has the same effect on fish as humans its a stimulant on the pallet i know some of the bivvy boys actually spod blocks of salt the himalyan verity seems best

[@colt5618]

Do you ever get pike taking fish?

[@brettskip1]

Where’s the float?

[@mainlinematchfishingtv2921]

If you watch it on a tv, Brett you'll see it clearly. All the best.

U mean used to get in Ireland

[@andybenstead7240]

Salt does not change the Ph of water , when its added to water it breaks down into ions of Sodium and Chloride , neither of them reacts to water , so adding salt will only change the volume and not the Ph level , altering the Ph level from Ph 7 to 6 for example an acidic solution needs to be added like Lemon juice , to increase its Ph to 8 an alkali has to be added such as baking powder . Altering the Ph of water can be detrimental to the fish

[@mainlinematchfishingtv2921]

Thanks for your thoughts, Andy. Matt thinks it changes the PH but he isn't sure. Fish love salt as it promotes health and is essential in growth and vitality.

[@andybenstead7240]

@@mainlinematchfishingtv2921 It definitely doesn't change the Ph , he needs to look it up , salt for freshwater fish can help clear fungus , bacteria and external parasites , but only in small quantities , overdose with salt and it will kill freshwater fish , hence they don't live in the sea , only slightly brackish water
