Brilliant tuitional video Andy. This will change everything I am currently doing in method feeder fishing, from preparation, baiting, loading, and casting. A really true eye opener, to perfecting a proven method of fish catching. This video will double my weights on my favourite method, I am absolutely certain. It proves 100%, how getting things perfectly right, in different stages, can catch a big weight of fish. I'm absolutely stunned by this video. Please keep em coming Andy, your tuitional clips are the best on You Tube.
Andy is a true innovator he changed angling for the better a fantastic angler responsible for so many things he invented like the quick change bead,quick stops,banjo feeder andy is a credit to angling and Preston innovations,ALIEN
what I wonder myself is that the whole internet says that the 2mm pellets need to soak for max 2 min and here you are saying it needs to soak for 1 hour
great video andy just starting fishing after a 40 year break so much to learn watching your video feel confident enough to go give the method feeder a try
I bet there are “model” carp that live in tanks, have their ‘facials’ in the carp model catalog and are taken out and brought to photoshoots for packaging and merchandise.
Within 2 mins of casting out, more like (5 sec) there Tommy lad , I've learned myself from watching there's videos and I'm totally bagging up with carp, crewsions, skimmers, brown fantail goldfish as well, so thanks guys 🇬🇧 ✊🏼 🎣
Hi Andy your an absolute legend keep it up by the way what is the Best goo or glug to use when fishing the method feeder and that’s pva frendily and how many lbs to use for hook length for 9lbs fish
Excellent video Andy, really good watch.Quick thought has any body invented a pie pellet ?just a thought a pellet with an inner flavour, ie mushy peas ,cheese and onion, steak and kidney. Joking apart good to see the quality of information you deliver is still first class
Hi there, greetings from the Netherlands, and many tnx 4 making the video.👍😀 Can u maybe explain the slipknot around minute 18. I dont understand how U make that knot? 🤔
Great video! Can anyone tell me what water he is using if he is prepping the pellets at home before getting to the lake? I don't have room in the freezer for lots of different bottle of frozen lake water from different places lol. Is bottled drinking water just as good as using lake water? Or do you think the fish can tell the difference? Thanks
Orite Mr finley love you're feeder fishing always take you're advice on feeder fishing and always will what's you're advice on hook lengths Andy. Steve from hull
Looked like Andy’s rod was pointing directly at the feeder rather than being at an angle. That’s OK but won’t show drop backs which you get a lot of when tight against far bank and rod won’t take the strain of big bites as well when straight compared to when rod is on an angle as the bend helps. Am I wrong?
@@UKprestoninnovations Ronnie Pickering Who? Ronnie Pickering Who? Sorry couldnt help myself. Tommy Pickering would say noooo and deffo needs an angle for reasons above. But end justifies the means and there is more than one way to skin a cat!!
I tried this at the weekend,exact same bait , same method feeders. The expanders were coming off all the time, didnt catch anything. They were soaked in ice, but i think small fish were just easily taking the expanders off the hair rig. any ideas? soaked them for in a flask of ice water before leaving home. thanks
@@paulr112 Ok, so it is more common for more expensive rods to be sold on the premises that a higher test curve is better. Many wrongly believe this. Like with most things higher numbers sounds better right. Having read your comment again, I think I missed some details... OK so you are using a hair. How are you attaching the bait to the hair, how long is it. These are things worth considering. How well is your bait fixed to the method also, what are you using on the method. Really, smaller fish should be eating the ground bait/pellets rather than a larger mouth fall. Not saying it is impossible. It is also possible that carp are sucking up your hook bait, noticing the hook and spitting it out without your knowledge. Sounds crazy I know but it does happen. One way they do that is with the weight of the lead funny enough if its fixed say. Fishing is actually bloody complicated and what works for someone somewhere doesn't always work in another spot. A cheap rod is also pretty much never the reason behind success or failure. I have rods ranging from £12 up to £350 and alsort in between. I have never lost or caught fish because of a rod. But that £12 toy rod and reel is extremely fun to catch a 8lb carp on :) I mentioned rods with high Test curves as those are designed for casting heavy weights out long distances. But as a result are often not very good at playing fish and for the inexperienced cause a lot of issues. I wondered if like many you were miss sold a broom handle :) Your method could even be landing incorrectly and knock bait of the feeder. In my experience most things are down to human error. I'm not saying I'm an expert or don't make plenty myself by any means... I'm just like you and learning and always will be. Sorry if it seems as such, but please don't think I am putting you down 👍 Its just the last thing I wanted to do, was give you the impression you needed to go out and buy an expensive rod to solve your issue 👍
@@mastodonseven Thanks for the indepth reply. I`m actually using a carp set, which has a 2.75lb test curve . I`ve used them and we`ve caught plenty of sub 10lb carp. But on a couple of occasions I used the method in this video and had lots of issues with the bait just coming off. Quite often without any bite registered. So previously i wasnt really soaking the bait for this long. Would get there, put the pellets in water and then use a hair rig with band and that would be fine the bait was still quite hard and would stay on. But with the method in the video i tried with the stop method and the hook bait was very loose on the hook so i think literly one bite from the fish and theyd have it. The pellets were in a flask with ice and i followed the advice but no luck. I went back to my old way with the band method. cheers
It all depends of the fish you are trying to catch and that are swimming around. I use a hook 12-14 mwg/qm1 from guru. A great hook to catch small and midsize carp.

Another masterclass from Andy, he is the only angler I could listen to all day.
Great video masterclass Andy… TOP Angler with so much knowledge & experience of Method Feeder Fishing, best regards, Wayne 😀👍
Hello from Romania.Thank you Mr. Andy. , I learned a lot of very interesting things from your presentation.
Its mr findlay sir
Thanks Andy, yet another masterclass from the one and only "Fin" perfect fisherman

Not keeping the line tight to the feeder tip is a mistake I have been making resulting in tangles. Thanks for the tip.

awesome video answered lots of my questions being a novice tweaked my list for bait now thank you
The method man, thanks to it, we can all enjoy some rod bending action 🍻👏👏
Absolute legend
Wicked nice to see mr findlay still doing it after all this time bril
Met Andy many years ago on Gearys lake at Packington - he signed by hook box - still got his autograph hahaha great bloke
Really good video and detailed explanation. Very inspiring. Thank you!
Wish I were this laid back
Brilliant very helpful. Do you just use normal tap water on your pellets
Mr very laid back great for fishing
Absolutely
Hi Andy your an absolute legend keep it up by the way what is the Best goo or glug to use when fishing the method feeder and that’s pva frendily and how many lbs to use for hook length for 9lbs fish
Maybe asks the Korda guys to sell you Goo 🤷♂️

0:40 listen good what the man says.. It's defenitely the most important thing!!
Well if you say so...
:)
daft question why an hour for microprep and not two minutes as others advise answers please
Great gear keep it up lads
Hi there, greetings from the Netherlands, and many tnx 4 making the video.👍😀
Can u maybe explain the slipknot around minute 18. I dont understand how U make that knot? 🤔
double the line over and with the tag end, tie an overhand knot around the main line. This will slide up and down.
@@bobthebike7538 Tnx alot, will try it 👍😀
Hello, I have done this with the expanders with the ice cold water but they split did I do something wrong .
Great video does anyone know the song at 22:55 ?

Hi mate, Iv noticed you don’t position your rod at an angle. Is their a video on where to position your feeder arm etc?
Orite Mr finley love you're feeder fishing always take you're advice on feeder fishing and always will what's you're advice on hook lengths Andy. Steve from hull
I think he was nervous talking in front of the camera. He's a keen angler, though.
What about when your casting into 2ft of silt ?
Looked like Andy’s rod was pointing directly at the feeder rather than being at an angle. That’s OK but won’t show drop backs which you get a lot of when tight against far bank and rod won’t take the strain of big bites as well when straight compared to when rod is on an angle as the bend helps.

Andy seems to do alright 👍
@@UKprestoninnovations Ronnie Pickering Who? Ronnie Pickering Who?
Sorry couldnt help myself. Tommy Pickering would say noooo and deffo needs an angle for reasons above. But end justifies the means and there is more than one way to skin a cat!!
Is the feeder used as a running lead with a 6 inch hook length?
Yes but keep the hook length at 3.5 or 4 inch
Anyone know what size reel he was using?
What’s with all this keeping the rod low business while playing match fish ?
Hi what lb main line do you use please
What rod are you using there Andy?
10ft supera
@@UKprestoninnovations I had a look at one just today. I eventually went for the 11ft SL.
Hi Andy I tried indeed soaking the 2 mm pellets for the hour but t.b.h found them far to soft and they tended to break up badly..
Soak them 40 seconds, get rid of the water, put them on a large dish and wait 20min and done :)
Perhaps you didn't follow all the steps?
Next time can you think of the deaf community when you post a video and add subtitles? I got excited to watch this then realised I couldn't

Were you using a high test curve rod by any chance?

@@paulr112 Paul you are very welcome 👍
I'm pleased to hear you are trying new things and finding what works for you.
It’s a drop of water, you can not have a bit of water.
You can if it's frozen. Don't pick people up for their dialects
@@bobthebike7538 Bob you can’t mix ground bait with ice, ? And a dialect is regional accent.
@@dianesmith9987 Dialect is not an accent. EG spice in Yorkshire is sweets or candy
Can you still use a pellet wetter with these method pellets?
I do. Works like a charm. Especially when you need to shake the pellets.
Great video, really enjoyed it. What size and pattern hook is used with the 4mm pellet?
I'd be interested to know this information too. Going to give it a try
It all depends of the fish you are trying to catch and that are swimming around. I use a hook 12-14 mwg/qm1 from guru. A great hook to catch small and midsize carp.
@@jessevanhoogstraten6841 is that not too big for a 4mm expander? I’m still learning the ropes to all this.
Jesus 1h to soak pellets? Some say 5seconds! Eff that I’ll just grab a premaid bag.
A hour to wate.
Dont need to buy expensive binders, just use Horlicks
Horlicks has many uses in fishing , can be good in ground bait as well pellet.
Angel Delight too.
Great information Andy, from the god father of this method
Not the brightest 😂
loose the music...! please..!
I can do the exact same thing like you and dont catch jack shit for a whole day.
