- Method Feeder Fishing at Croft Fisheries | Fishery Review
Back again for yet another local fishery review. Today's session is at a woodland fishery by the name of croft fisheries in the Adlington / Blackrod area... BL65LH. The fishery is located right at the end of an industrial estate the post code should take you right there. Toilet facilities and well priced day ticket rates. Beautiful clear water fishery in a nice setting.
I approached the fishery with my usual method feeder tactics and had a really enjoyable day. Though pellet waggler is also meant to be effective also.
As always grab yourself a brew or a beer and enjoy the session!

more than slightly annoying, i'd have gave that fella a piece of my mind and told him to jog on, fair dos to ya being so level headed
Trust me…if I didn’t have a RUclips channel I’d of been more firm. But it’s best to shut my mouth and move on these days 😂 can’t be getting a bad name for myself, nobody likes a stroppy influencer😂 haha! Turned into a good session so all’s well that ends well 💪🏻🎣
I would like to be the first to congratulate Matt on hitting 10,000 subs. A fantastic achievement. From a very humble and proud dad. ❤ Here’s to many more fishing adventures.
Fully deserved. Beats all the other fishing video makers by miles. Keep em coming x
Bloody Brilliant Westy , I've never laughed so much watching a fishing video. 😂
I wanted that bloke to have booked his local brass band who he played trumpet for many moons ago to play a few tunes bank side so he could reminisce the good old days whilst supping on his cuppa 😂Here's to the next 10,000 subs mate 👍
Just ordered some bait and that Super Sherbert glaze, which I've found bloomin awesome 👍 best fishing chanel mate, love watching Westy and his Dad 👍👍🎣
Feeder up tree, cup in the drink, hand stung on nettles, absolutly howling at that sequence, turned in to a great session
They say bad luck comes in 3’s 😂
@@WestysAngling that really did make me laugh, all because of whistling Walter down the bank
It's so pleasing to see Westy back in his (Rain) comfort zone 🌧
Thank you Westy for proving it's not just me that can have a few mishaps to be polite, great channel
I was there on the lake that day ! I caught nothing 😂 but enjoyed watching you pull them in live ! That fella was a menace
Well done Westy for handling the ‘ nerd’ situation. It’s amazing how thick skinned some people are, perhaps he was hoping to get on TV! We had a similar experience once when fishing with my daughter on a lake with loads of free pegs when another ‘Nerd’ set up in between us ! And the club clearly states to only do that when there are no free pegs , the general rule is to leave a free pegs between anglers. Keep them coming. Cheers Jim
The whistle kettle had me in stitches 😅😂 so funny !
Love the channel, for me this episode was hilarious, method feeder in the tree kicking the coffee cup in the lake getting stung by the nettles, I was was weting myself 😂 so glad I'm not the only one that these things happen to, absolutely brilliant so pleased to see you laugh about it and not throw a hissy fit 😂😂 keep up the good work 👏👏
😂😂 I’m glad you enjoyed it ! That’s what it’s all about 💪🏻🎣
Hey! Just wanted to say thanks to you for all your videos. Never feeder fished before and just got back into fishing after 12 years out. Your bread flake on the method gave me my best session ever yesterday. Fish not taking micros so switched to bread with 8mm pineapple wafter. Literally couldn't get the bail arm on before the rod bent round 😂. Snapped off 3 times in pouring down rain too and still had the best time. Keep the content coming!
If you keep getting broke I recommend swapping your hooklengths up to 12lb guru n-gauge and use size 10/12 feeder hooks 👌🏻I haven’t been broke since doing that 🎣
Great advice. I am using pre tied MCM-B but they are max 7lb so will have to bite the bullet and try to make my own.
Thanx for helping fuel the motivation to get back on the bank and return to fishing mate. Well balanced videos with good information but most importantly you capture the vibe of angling I like. Refreshingly simple
You’re welcome mate !
There really are some stunning looking fish in that lake!
Wot a scream,best one yet Westy. I applaud you for keeping ya cool with that a***** in the peg near ya. And getting caught in the trees is my party piece or so my hubby tells me. Keep em comin Westy cos it is great entertainment x
I am glad they are entertaining! That’s all I want 😁 thanks for watching 😄
That fella turning up is every decent fishermans nightmare. I never impose on another fishermans space .
What a belter of a session! And......what a bellend that chap turned out to be! Lol. Beautiful dark colours those fish have too, at this venue. Another great vid, Matt. Well done.
Hey mate, just got to 17.00 minutes. Proper made me laugh 😂. We have all had days like that....
I was stuck in a tree, brolly was doing one and i kicked my tackle everywhere LOL.
Keep up the good work mate 👍
Definitely part of fishing that, have you ever dropped your tackle box and all the bits have gone everywhere… that’s the worst 😂
Hi Westy, keep calm & carry on fishing, love your fishing exploits it's what keeps it so interesting.
mat wot a 🤬 space invader! great control buddy.....another cracking video....tight lines....
You're very tolerant, one peg, if the fishery is quiet I would aim to be as far from others as I can! Fished a busy day recently and had an indepth conversation with the fella who had to go one peg up from me, to ensure we weren't fishing the same patch.
Fishing does throw up some right characters. Middle of the vid was gold, glad u didnt edit it out. Weve all had days like that 😂
I nearly did, I was 50/50 about putting it in !
Really enjoyed that , love the colours of the fish 🎣
Pleased I'm not the only one things don't go well for - lol congrats on the 10k 😃
10k🎉🎉 very well deserved mate. Ill be here for the next 10k too👍
i know how dad and you feel , i spent yesterday fishing the bottom , it looked good , no carp , pellet waggler 2 feet deep , at 4 oclock in the afternoon , 6 on the trott, happy days
How calm are you 😮
Straight after you nettled yourself getting the feeder out the tree ..if it was me hes going in 😂😂
Some nice fish there
Made me chuckle mate
My worst nightmare people like him ...
And those alarms ..ffs
Well done on handling neighbour from hell 😂could see the anger in your face handled better than most would just courtesy at end of the day if there’s no space then fair enough but a whole lake and still sit next to is taking mick really I am an old subscriber but had new contract and can’t get RUclips details back on so subbed with new one 😂😂😂
Congratz on hitting 10k pal. Croft really does have some stunning fish, theres a massive orange koi in there somewhere. The commons and f1s look like they are carved out of dark oak, beautiful colours and strains. Reckon its cos all the lakes are spring fed.
It will be that, the clear water and maybe something to do the natural food sources ! Who knows !
Could well be. Regarding the fish ive had chub to 4lb, mirrors and commons to 11lb, f1s to 7lb, bream to 4lb as for other species gudgeon,skimmers,roach,rudd and its got perch over 4lb and pike in the low doubles.
@@stetunstall4124 good selection of fish ! Thanks for the 10k best wishes as well Ste ! 💪🏻🎣
Well done westy for keeping your cool ,I’d have had to say something ,well done on the fishing though mate some lovely fish
Some really nice fish in there 👌🏻not massive but certainly different 🎣
Maybe, Dad lets you win 'cos it's Your channel ?
My problem is I’m to stubborn. I start fishing a certain way and won’t change. Whereas Matt will think nothing of swapping a number of times trying different methods till he cracks it.
Beautiful dark carp love it mate
It’s not how you start it’s how you finish haha!! The nettle had me laughing to top everything else off that was going wrong 🤣🤣
The ants left the most damage ! I had red blotches for days 😂
A truly honest fishery review that was on my radar to visit. I shan't bother. The pegs and nettles closeby is enough for me to look elsewhere .😮
Don’t let that put you off going. Some nice fish in there. I’m sure you will find a decent peg for yourself.
Great video as always so funny when ur dad lost the fish.
🤣🤣
@@WestysAngling🤔
The second peg you went to is where I fished last time I went, was a hot day, didn’t do much, did haste a couple of nice carp tho 😊
The carp there are very nice
Your Chocolate Orange pellet the weekend was exactly the same, times the feeder only hit the water and I was in.
Lovely looking fish ace
Lovely looking common that Matt. Hey up Paul !
Deserve a like for persevering Westy!!! LOL My toys would have been out of my pram and gone home! LOL I´m a bit calmer now but still have my moments!
I was close to calling it 😂 but I had already paid at that point, my tightness outweighed my frustration 😅
@@WestysAngling 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love it!
Awesome session! Hello from Texas USA
Love Texas man ! I have been to Austin, Dallas and San Antonio 👌🏻🎣
@WestysAngling have u catch a Buffalo yet?
No I haven’t ! I have never fished in another country, though it’s on my list of things to do. So many fishing regulations in America I wouldn’t know where to start
If the lake is empty with a couple of anglers I'll fish as far away from them as possible. Just give other anglers space we're all there to relax and enjoy the day
Exactly mate ! Glad someone agrees. I have no idea what possesses some people
You fish the peg you like,if it's next to someone so be it!!!
@@condor1961 stupid comment.
100% agree always leave space on a fishing pleasure trip nothing more annoying than mr no idea plonking right next to you
Great video for understanding how to method feed. How long can you keep baits for please.
Thanks Peter.
10/15 mins in summer and 45-60mins in winter ! As a rule of thumb
@@WestysAnglinglove the feeder chair I’m disabled and can’t move around to much. I have a carp chair that is made of square section.
The underwater camera would work well in that clear water Good video as always !!
@@DeclanNelson-sp4bf I will see if I can get some more underwear footage soon 👌🏻🎣
Nice to see in the face of adversity you never complain 🤣🤣🤣 hilarious
😂😂😂😂
Ik it’s far from u but there is some cracking fisheries South Yorkshire way on one of my favourites is hallcroft some absolute warriors in there
Hallcroft has been recommended yes 😁
Great vid!
Welldone fella for keeping your cool, we all know what we would like to do to that small number of fishermen who always turn up and fck up other's days fishing !!! Nice catches though, good session 👍
Congrats on 10k followers, can you please let me know what feeder arm you are using, it looks great. Thanks
Korum XS 👌🏻
Great video.
There's always one Angler that's absolutely brain dead!
Hope he didn't park his car next to yours!
Stay safe and thanks
Fished Acorn Wood Scunthorp very small pond but absolutely superb 👌
Bit far for me buddy !
I've just started fishing(couple of weeks ago) Wondered if you tried Fir Trees Fisherie in Appley Bridge (Wigan). You sound fairly local. I've been there a few times this past couple weeks. I've really enjoyed it. Prompted me to find youtubers like you
I wouldn’t fish there again if you paid me. The owners were very rude to my dad !
@@WestysAngling oh no, that's not good. Completely understand. Any recommendations to a new angler nearby? I fancied wrightington or crooke
Definitely Wrightington, Paul the owner is a top bloke and a well maintained fishery ! Crooke is good too ! Basically anywhere I fish on the channel 👌🏻
So glad I’m not the only one casting into the trees 😂
Takes skill mate, all that lake and I managed to get wrapped around that little branch … accuracy 💪🏻🎣
I was up a tree yday can’t beat it 😂😂
Had the same thing yesterday. 20 pegs, I was first one there and set up on peg 8 then 4 anglers turned up and took pegs 5,6 9 and 10 😅. Thought I had accidentally joined a match.
Did you win 😂😂😂 that’s so bad, I wonder if it’s the social ‘match mentality’ that makes people think that it’s normal !
No they all pulled out the Westys wafters and pineapple glaze and that was curtains for me 😂
Hi mate, I would recommend you going to GJ fisheries in Manchester. It’s amazing. They have monsters of carp there
I will look it it 👌🏻
Well done for keeping your cool 😎 some people are pathetic they have no manners whatsoever, think he'd have been told to sod off if been me 😂 great vid mate
We've all had them days mate,another thing that annoys me is when they start knocking brolly pegs in, scaring the fih out of the margins.
You dealt with that well mate and cheers for another good video. Does anybody know whether it's possible to switch the rod rest on the feeder arm to an alarm? I only fish with one rod and really like those feeder chairs.
I have done it before 👌🏻 just screw a double bite alarm bar into the end of the rod rest but make sure it’s wide enough, but not too wide 💪🏻
@@WestysAngling thanks mate I appreciate the advice.
Which European stockist did you get the floating feeder from mate
If there was stock anywhere by more or tell you 👌🏻
Korum say should being shops end of Aug early Sept
I made one from bits and pieces at home in my shed. It works great!!! It will do until they are available to buy.👍
Hey I’m new to carp fishing I’m just wondering how often do you re cast when method feeding 👍🏻
10/15 mins in summer 40/45 mins in winter 👌🏻 just as a rough guide
@@WestysAngling thankyou mate have you ever been to a place call Newbridge fisheries in Kirkby Liverpool
Hi mate no idea idea if you will answer I've 8mm water what hook size should I use
Size 12 or 10 feeder hook normally for an 8mm wafter, all wafters have different buoyancy so play around with it 👌🏻
Westy I’ve had many days like you’re having,one thing happens then everything goes to shit 🤣
It’s true that 😂
Do I need to use a scent for feeder fishing? I've fished around Scarborough a bit but have been quite unsuccessful. I've been using pellets, ground bait, and dynamite washters ES-L and still haven't managed to hook onto anything. my set up is an 11ft feeder rod with 10lb mono line. Any tips would be fantastic. Thank you.
No you don’t need a scent to catch fish buddy, it’s hard to give tips without seeing your full setup etc. Quality bait and wafters goes a long way. Follow all the tips in my videos down to the letter and you will catch I promise 🎣💪🏻👍🏻
Completely agree, i was a woodlands the other day and left 1 peg, (corner peg) then i fished, then free peg, then someone else was fishing. People left and there was free pegs all on the other side and i ended up with a guy, his wife and kid camped right on the corner peg. I was not happy but smiled anyway and was happy they enjoyed themselves, biting my lip though.
FREE Pegs all on the other side of the pond plus an entire empty lake as matches were finished. Ignorance? new to fishing? lazy? who knows but i baited in the reeds where he was fishing, had to move my gear around (obviously i cannot fish two pegs when he is fishing it now) so we didn't risk crossing lines. what a hmm nice fellow. Couldn't help but think of all the free pegs available, Ya know.
Rant over lol.
Sounds like new to fishing and some people have no social filter. Especially with kids you would think, let’s take them somewhere quiet where we aren’t bothering anyone 😂
Is there a video and how you tie your rigs and which knots you use

ruclips.net/video/LNf0aI85WYg/видео.html
I think you should have gone down to that bloke and apologised for moving. He could have sat next to you because he might be lonely!!😂🤣
I’m not sure we’re about you are based but I think you should give Ben lea fisheries a try it’s my local and has a good stock of fish carp,stregeon and much others
When I was fishing a few months ago a guy casted over my line and got his rig tangled on mine. I was so annoyed
Really annoying!
How did you book on. I can’t seem to find a number that works?
You just pay in the hut mate 👍🏻 no need to book on
@@WestysAngling cheers for that. I’ll call down with my stuff and hopefully get on Wednesday.
@@WestysAngling went crofts today. I had good success. Caught the orange and white carp same as you did. Beautiful looking fish. Looks a lot bigger venue on the video. Well worth the money. Will be returning.
@andrewmcgovern7850 there are a few carp like that in the fishery 👌🏻 not just that one
That's a belting film pal😂 attracting yet another numpty 😮 hand in the nettles 😅 ant bites round the ankles 😅 fishing for squirrels 😅 listening to loud bit alarms and a whistling kettle oh and a bitch fit 😂😂😂😂😂 absolutely brilliant 👏 😀 😂BUT who had the last laugh 👏👍👌💪👊🎣🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟PS you know what happens when you wind papa West up !!!! He absolutely smashes you up the next time out 😅👍👌
I actually don’t think the guy caught anything 😂😂 on the way out I was going to say ‘thanks for saving me from this peg’ but then thought better of it 😂😂
@WestysAngling good job Daz wasn't there, or he would have given it him big time 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi hello we’re is the fishery thank you
If anyone fancies fishing here, take some prawns 😅 you'll near enough empty the lake!
Not just me that attracts every numpty from a 10 mile radius then, happens to me allll the time...... 1 question Why, u got the whole frigging lake just f off lol
Some people are just crazy mate ! I don’t understand it myself. I literally find a quiet corner and tuck myself away 😂
First 😂
That was fast !
only bloke in england with a korum floating feeder , they will be in stock for the rest of us mortals when it gets cold and is a waste of time at the start of november, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I know a good few people that managed to get them from their local angling direct 👌🏻
You should've given him a swimming lesson, the numpty.😡
He nearly gave himself one falling down my peg 😂
If you have to squirt your cream on your bait to catch a fish... And youre fishing a place with big fish... You aint no angler. 19lb carp on corn from a marina basin. That's fishing. Good luck though. I'm happy to see you catching. That's what its all about. Best wishes mate.
Some people don’t have access to marinas with 19lb carp. Sounds like you want a pat on the back.
Westys has caught plenty fish on corn and bread.
@@TomLong-du7zz no i don't want a pat anywhere but thanks for the offer. I'm just saying you don't need all this squirty stuff that people are trying to sell you to catch more. Fishing the margins on the marina with sweet corn catches nice fish.
Are you sure you won't set up 😂
I'm sure ya dad will get the last laugh on the next venue, as he does, you shouldn't laugh really he was probably cursed by the strange man
Some people are just plain ignorant
