Love the vids, some of the most enjoyable fishing videos I’ve seen, been using the method feeder recently to target carp over 20+ lbs and having great results
I wouldn’t care about what others think about the way you use your method feeder set up. I like watching your vids. No affiliation to any company, just a bloke who likes fishing and sharing it with others. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Tip westy, have a bucket of water in front of you to quickly rinse your hands after you've applied your feed to the feeder, saves getting your rod full of bait and gear full of bait.
@@darrengallagher2098 maybe like 8 / 10 pegs. Never actually counted 🙈 I’ve never had a bad day there personally, some really good carp in both lakes. With a specimen lake off to the side 👍🏻
@@darrengallagher2098 don’t think so mate… recently got refurbished and I’ve only fished on that back lake. Plenty of good carp/F1 Caught maybe 10 on the pole around the 5-8lb
nice video guys...ya tempted a few fish...but that groundbait gave you a few probs sticking!..i use the Spotted Fin Smokey Jack Ready Method Pellets 2mm 2kg...perfect everytime ya mould em ..plus they have other flavours ..a tenner a tub!..im getting lazy in my older years...tight lines...
Great video & review, as usual. My only concern when fishing 2 method rods - when (as with your first carp) you’re unhooking & admiring your fish on the mat, your other rod could easily get a bite, be dragged in, or the fish could snag itself before you can get to it. Also you would then have to leave the unhooked fish unguarded. At least with bite alarms, you could hear a bite on your other rod. 👍🏻🎣
Very True Ken ! Always a risk and sometimes I do fish with bite alarms and specimen rods for this reason. It’s rare I have issues I usually just slacken off my drag or open my bail arm quickly but like you say a fish could get into snags in that short time but I also fish heavy line for this reason and I have confidence I’d be on the other rod before that happened. I use Preston innovation grips to stop my rods being dragged off the rest and a slag drag, but if you think about it you could have the same issue fishing two rods on bite alarms , you could be off unhooking one and the other shoots off on the bait-runner into some snags. You are right though it’s a risk either way ! Thanks for commenting and watching Ken ☺️
Your videos are highly watchable interesting and presented very well great stuff. Watching for vids however are becoming expensive as I've bought a caperlan chair and ordered 2 identical rods lol
Eh up mate, if you're over scarborough area try rosedale, 20lbers come out regularly. Caught my 14lb on a method other day and fought like a wild orse 🤣. Class video though and good idea reviewing the fisheries 👏
Great video west’s . I could see you was having problems with the ground bait f1 green, dark, and original are not really method ground baits. Try the sonubaits match method range all top quality. 👍
Hi buddy, I too like to use a method feeder on quiver tips but in all your videos I've never heard you mention what size of quiver you use. Do you change up depending on the conditions similar to myself. My go to as a start is 2oz but fishing my club lake where the carp go to 15lb I switch up to a 6oz. Interesting topic weight of tips. Alan.
I tend to stick to 1.5/2oz, I match it to the feeder weight I use. I never really use less than a 30g/40g feeder, so I stick to the same tips. If I used a 20g I’d probably use a 1oz tip etc etc
Hi, can you let me know where you bought your chair feeder arm from? Just started fishing a venue which doesn't allow bank sticks, I've got a small tripod, but like the look of your setup. I only ever use one rod at a time, but love to fish float & method.
Hope you are both well 👌🏻 I’m going to have a go on there this week! Hopefully catch ! I think I will try krill wafter for the sturgeon, they don’t allow meat.
@@WestysAngling hope you catch some sturgeon buddy … I’ve never fished for them .. but we have cudmore just up the road .. they have them in there specimen pool..plus big catfish..might even have a go one time .. cheers 🍻 cheers Chris & Sam
Cudmore is great pal ! Lovely place ! Only an hour from me also. I fished it twice this year, there is a vid on the channel got my pb cat. I ddnt know they had sturgeon in cudmore !!! In Tara ?
Love the vids, some of the most enjoyable fishing videos I’ve seen, been using the method feeder recently to target carp over 20+ lbs and having great results
Thanks for the comment luke ! The carp guys forget just how effective they are. Glad you enjoy the vids buddy makes it worth while 👌🏻

fish absolutely love a thunderstorm leading up as the pressure builds they feed like mad and after fresh rain too
love the vids andy very simple and practical pal!!!👍
You’ve got me back on feeder fishing following your tips, had a very successful 3 weeks and plenty of carp!
That’s great news Paul !!! Definitely my favourite way to fish. Thanks for commenting !
Have u re viewed OAKFIELD at Farington yet ?
Blind Dave
I have started using method feeders from watching you on hear and had loads of fish and started making my own ground bait ok.
Great little place stoat hall.
I go all the time and fish on the pole.. will always catch!
We're on the match lake Sunday, how's it fishing? How many pegs does it have? Ta

@@popeyexc7500 Been told its on lake 1 and 2. Much difference?

I've fished here loads of times, micro or 4mm pellets are really good on the feeder

@darrengallagher2098 I don’t think the match lake ever fishes badly ! Should be prime at the moment 🎣 I’m not sure on pegs buddy sorry !
Seen and heard a few good things about Devine fishery in Accrington going to give it a try on method next week see what it’s about, love the vids 🙌🏻
Never heard of it ! I will have a Google and put it on the list of fisheries to try. Thanks for commenting buddy. Hope you catch a few👌🏻

I like F1 stiki method pellets 2mm, I should get back on them ! 😂
When you put your rod together, try to hold the top section a lot closer to the joint end! It will help a lot and prevent rod damage.
Same car as mine, it gets a bit full in the back with the seats down but takes all my tackle and big chair lol😂
Can definitely cram everything in them! 😂 thanks for commenting John !
il watch this at the lake but looking good glad your feeling up to go fishing
Thanks Pal 👌🏻👍🏻
@@WestysAngling I have to get new cameras my Contents done on a phone and i Dropped two in lol
Go pro’s are very good but the battery life is appalling, I spend more time changing batteries than fishing haha !
Used to love fishing top three kit there then shipping out like mad

Really nice comment Trevor ! Thank you for watching ! Well the Caperlan feeder chair definitely won’t let you down lol !
Just tried out my new midday white knuckle 8ft feeder rod , It's great ! Like you with your Shimano rods , they don't do them anymore ,shame !

That’s brilliant! Glad they have helped! Yes his pet ducks are annoying 😂

Will do Rob ! Thanks for the recommendation 👌🏻👍🏻 I am starting a list of places I want to try. So many fisheries 😂 thanks for watching buddy !
Fished there a couple of weeks back, on the very same peg, and has that very same bird pestering me for my ground bait😂
got a match this week, any tips on what to fish?
@@darrengallagher2098 sorry mate bit late😂 I use a bio marine mix for that specimen water there

Nice video and very informative. look forward to future editions. What rod and reel combination were you using there ?
Shimano speedmaster 9-12ft and Daiwa crossfire/ninja 4000 reels. Thanks for watching Raymond !
Stoat hall farm, fished it many a time best tactics is close on the midline literally rod tip out under your feet
We're on the match lake Sunday, how's it fishing? How many pegs does it have? Ta
Hello buddy , what rod holdall is that you use . Thank you . Love your content BTW .
Thanks Neil ! ‘RON Thompson ott ‘ , cheap one from go outdoors buddy, good quality though I recommend
Hi, can you let me know where you bought your chair feeder arm from?
Just started fishing a venue which doesn't allow bank sticks, I've got a small tripod, but like the look of your setup. I only ever use one rod at a time, but love to fish float & method.
Hi Stewart, it came with the Caperlan feeder chair ! Cheap enough and good quality!
Thanks for that, I've already got the chair, it's just the matter of finding one that fits, as opposed to a box.
Hectic 2 rods method feeder had me exhausted a few times
is that the dip tank next to the shed looks low too
I would not have dipped a net in there ! Probably do more harm than good it was like thick green sludge, awful 😂
Hi again, how do I biy ur Pink Westys wafters 8mm ?
