Nice video as always💪🏻 No special goals, just enjoying nature, fishes. No scaling down, maybe just feeder down to 20 grams. Hello to Dad, and as we say in Croatia: Bistro!! 😊
Hi it’s been a while since I’ve watched due to work commitments, thoroughly enjoyed that , got me biting at the bit to get out ,I had a bucket list a few years ago and completed except for one fish and that was a pumpkin fish 🐠 so that’s my main goal , ( by design) and I’m also going after 9lb+ tench , carp wise I’m on the hunt for a British 30lb+ mirror carp …. Easy 😂😂😂😂….. keep vids coming , brilliant viewing 👍🏼
Prediction, Westy wafter winning. The only thing I scale down is my feeder I’m using a small banjo feeder for winter with mix of ground bait and pellets. Wafters, corn and spam is my go to in the colder months 🎉
Cracking video as always Westy, thank you. I only managed to get out on the bank 6 times last year, and blanked twice. So my fishing goals for this year are to get out fishing much more, try different venues, and save the blank more! :)
Interesting video. My goal for 2024 is to catch as many different species of coarse fish as possible including a grayling. I'm in my mid 70s and never caught one but it's on my bucket list!
Great video as always . You fish like so many of us do ..... sticking to what you know works ! My goal this year is to introduce my 6year old nephew, Yhomas , to the world of fishing and get him hooked
i never scale down any ways mat ..no matter what time of year it is!....but looking at this i just might put another rod out on scaled down rigs....another good video guys ...tight lines...
Another great video! Ive always had your dad's mindset..... Scale down in winter. But, there were less commercial fisheries when i got in to angling, in the 80's. My goal this year is to do more traditional cage feeder fishing, and bank my first 7lb plus Tench!
Hi Wes, Thanks for all the tips and tricks, love the way you present the English way of fishing. A goal for me would be to come over to England and fish on a fishery. Do you need a special fishing permit/licence to fish on a english fishery ?.......mabey you could go into the do's and dont's for foreingers in a next clip whilst fishing in England ?......Thanks and Keep Up the Good Work
Eh up westy,nice to see you and dad out again mate,pleased dads better you picked a nice day for him to go fishing ,you both had some nice fish between you ,somebody told me you were about as straight as Oliver Twist hehe. Joking mate. Tite lines.
Best thing I find is go to a good fishery so many of waters are shite. With owners that pretend they stock it. Only thing you will catch is a cold My goal is to go fly fishing more this year
Great video Westy, I want to catch double figure carp say over 15lb to over or 20lb and some of those fish will be on float too and I’d like a decent sized tench too around the 5lb or bigger
AAARRR Your back, Great. Good info I always wondered if scaling back works. thanks for the video. My BIG fat goal is to catch 20lb+ I am up to 19lb. My 2nd goal is to go fishing I feel over smashed my shoulder last week & I have been told no fishing for a least a month, sad.
Been abit impatient for a new video 😂 glad someone's actually got some maracas to do different videos so good on you pal. My goal is to hit my second season hard and beat my pb which i caught saturday just gone at 13lb 3oz right on my birthday 🤌 glad to see you and papa westy back on the bank 👌
Another gr8 video westy, keep up the good work #tightlines my aim for this year is to get up in to the 20s club, currently on 16lb mirror carp on the feeder using 2mm pellet mix, with size 10 hook bandum on 4" hooklength with 8mm wafter.
Great video Westy. My goal is to enter a fishing completion this year. Used to do it loads as a lad but having only just got back into my fishing I’ve not yet mustered the courage. Oh and a 20lb carp would be nice too!
Another great video westy, glad your back. My goal is to win a comp down my local lake too many 2nds and 3rds and last year. Keep the vids coming mate me and my boy absolutely love your work
Nice film as per the norm with some cracking fish Caught 🎣🐟 Paul that barbel 👍💪👌 😎 great to see your both back to your fighting weights and doing the biz once again 👍 my goal for this year is to get myself to Barston lakes and try to catch a unit on the feeder gear 😎
It was a great morning's fishing and thank you both for sending the carp down to my end of the causeway and also for the wafters. I will put them to good use over the comiing month's. Another great video and tell Mr Westy SNR that I am on the lookout for that woodpecker he spotted. Keep up the great work! BR, John
Hello mate great video as always.....my 2024 fishing target is quite simple ..i want to catch a perch,,,,,,,over years of fishing i really dont think i have ever caught a perch much more than 1lb .....so anything 3lb plus would represent a great improvement...,,,any tips would be appropriated ....tight lines pal
@@WestysAngling Couldn't find much on them. Crossed off the list now. Wanted a small one, will look at shimano 2500 now and compare it with the regal. Cheers
My goal for 2024 is get used with my new partner and prepare for 2025 Lithuanian carp fishing championship. Side goal - amateur method fishing championship top10 spot - its jus side hustle
Interesting to see what happened with the two different set ups. Nice Barbel Papa West it’s still a species I need to catch. Goal No:1 - Catch on Westy’s Wafter. Goal No:2 - Catch a Barbel. Goal No:3 - Catch 13 more Carp than I did in 2023 & break the 600 Carp caught in my 9 months of fishing. #smudgeronthebank 😉🎣🪱 #coppullcavemanwithafishrod 😉🎣🪱

Ordered some of your pink glug , had a good session on it last week 👍🏻
Glad you was happy with it John 👍🏻
My goal for 2024 is to get out more often with my young son and my father, target some larger fish and try some overnight sessions with my son.
nice to see you both back on the bank, its hard this time of the year but its also nice to just get out on the bank good luck for next time both.
Great video Westy. My goal this year is to feel confident on a session, regularly catch and purely ensure I'm doing the right thing!
Nice video as always💪🏻 No special goals, just enjoying nature, fishes. No scaling down, maybe just feeder down to 20 grams. Hello to Dad, and as we say in Croatia: Bistro!! 😊

Met a young fan of yours at german lane today, gave him a few westys wafters to try, saved him the blank.....goal achieved.

If you live near, get yourself to High Hayes lake 3 most of the f1s in there are over 2lb
Thank you Paul west
First ! I received my giveaway last week, thanks westy !!
The one thing I found is those mini hybrid feeders don't work for me ! Changed to a small flatbed and away we go !
The left ones

You will get one 💪🏻
Love it mate
Hello mate
great video as always.....my 2024 fishing target is quite simple ..i want to catch a perch,,,,,,,over years of fishing i really dont think i have ever caught a perch much more than 1lb .....so anything 3lb plus would represent a great improvement...,,,any tips would be appropriated ....tight lines pal
Perch fishing is all about location! 🎣
To try and get more time on the bank as you already know my health issues and hopefully catch a pb carp
💪🏻 do what you can mate !
Want to fish my first ever match!! 🎉🎉🎉😂
Ey' up Westy, I'll swap you - 3 of my Home Made Floats or 2 Home Made, Method Feeders, for a Tub of "Westy's Wafters" ?? (they're all very good IMHO)
To catch a 20ld carp and my son to catch his first carp
My goal is a 9lb Barbel 😄 my best last year was 8lb 15 oz 😂 how’s about that for honest angling! 😎😄😄
Very honest angling 😁
id like to catch a 16+ pound carp :)
Westy, what make is your large fishing holdall please
NGT
Is that a korum shadow freespool reel? If so what do you rate it? Great vids, love watching your channel btw.
Cheap ! And the drag isn’t smooth ! The Daiwa regal is a better alternative
@@WestysAngling Couldn't find much on them. Crossed off the list now. Wanted a small one, will look at shimano 2500 now and compare it with the regal. Cheers
My goal this year is too land a 20lb carp
My goal is to beat my pb at 25 pound
How about a Westys competition in the summer with your followers on Facebook??
Could be arranged 👍🏻💪🏻
I’d do a 5 hr drive from where I live 👍🏻
My goal is to catch a 20 lber
Do you sell the mould to go with the banjo feeders, cheers.
No John you don’t need it buddy 👍🏻 but my 25g feeders fit a Preston innovations small (red) banjo mould
Cheers Westy, enjoy your vids.👍
retire in june so my goal is to spend more time on the bank
Congrats on the retirement Tony !
My goal for 2024 is to catch a 20lb carp ....
You well get one Gary! Get yourself down to Cudmore if it’s local enough, that’s the place for your first 20 💪🏻
@@WestysAngling cheers westy and yes ill check out cudmoore...
Unless you’re Westy senior and you blank every time you go there. 😂😂
@@PaulsWest lol pappa west ill give it a bash on google maps it says Newcastle Under Lyme is that right....?
Yes it’s near Whitmore.
My goal for 2024 is get used with my new partner and prepare for 2025 Lithuanian carp fishing championship. Side goal - amateur method fishing championship top10 spot - its jus side hustle
Use less feed, fish don't eat as much in winter, like they do in summer.
Interesting to see what happened with the two different set ups.
Nice Barbel Papa West it’s still a species I need to catch.
Goal No:1 - Catch on Westy’s Wafter.
Goal No:2 - Catch a Barbel.
Goal No:3 - Catch 13 more Carp than I did in 2023 & break the 600 Carp caught in my 9 months of fishing.
