I'm making more plans to go out with my dad, last 7 years iv spent more time fishing with him than I have with out him. Great video matt glad your dad's out and about with you

[@angussturrock7474]

Winter fishing brings out the proper fisherman. Another corker video mate

[@WestysAngling]

That’s so true !

[@angussturrock7474]

@@WestysAnglingMost people are afraid of the blank. It’s fishing not catching 😂

[@geraldhills41]

I'm getting on a bit and can't stand being on the bank in bad weather ! That's one of the reasons I watch your great channel . Thank you Westy .

[@davearthur514]

I wish i had spent more time going fishing with my dad.

[@WestysAngling]

@@davearthur514 ah Dave, sorry to hear that pal. I don’t spend as much time with him as I should. Life gets in the way mate !

[@keithmorris5088]

Always take my sons with me ,even tho I spend most of the days undoing tangles.but those memories will stay with them hopefully when they fishing with their kids👍

[@garymills1520]

Great video again Mat.

[@BenJames-br1bj]

Love these coarse fishing vids, especially when there 40 mins long! Smashing vid as per 🎣

[@leeslatter120]

Good video mate, enjoy your content and effort/energy. Got my back into feeder fishing after many years. Cheers man.

[@WestysAngling]

I appreciate that Lee !

[@martinking4518]

I use lighter tackle less bait and sometimes I change flavour such as pineapple

[@StephanieMcGeoghegan]

Great videos as always

[@StephanieMcGeoghegan]

Hi westy I always watch your videos when I’m fishing

[@claypigeon001]

I was never that interested in fishing growing up but watching you and your dad out I realise how much I missed out on. I’m changing to smaller method feeders for winter fishing 😊

[@bmhunter12-78]

Great video as always!!! I have been fishing today at a place called birkwood, haven’t caught much from there recently but had a great day today and caught some big f1s and 2 winter tench. Can’t wait too see future videos!! And my main change for winter has mainly been trying a new small method feeder I don’t usually use method feeders but I thought I would give it a go and it worked and I targeted towards the middle witch is definitely a change for me as a summer margin guy 😅

[@Mark-r2j]

Love it ❤

[@SuperBreakline]

Another top video

[@TonyLock-k7y]

Hi Matt. Your dad looks so cool with his shades! That first fish looked like a decent roach to me, the redness of it's fins. In winter, I tend to scale down and fish for silvers. Great vid mate! Well done.

[@brianbowyer]

Great video as always and the main thing to change for me is there's more choice of pegs to fish , so seem to get the better pegs to fish from. Keep up the good work ! 🎣🎣🎣🥶🥶

[@ednorth2301]

Evening Westy. Personally I opt for thinner wire gauge hooks, same size just finer. More layers as expected but relish quieter fisheries! Another cracking video!

[@Kwaarq]

Awesome video mate. I'm fairly new to the sport. So the change I've made is bought a spinning rod and a decent brew cup 😊

[@stephengardner2765]

Smaller feed and maggots for bait. Love your videos.

[@jamieandrews556]

Thanks for the new video mate, over the winter I reduce the size of the method feeder like you I don’t reduce line size or hook.

[@WestysAngling]

Some good changes there mate 💪🏻

[@robertlunt-01147]

Hi westy great video again ,winter fishing is grim mate firstly wrap up more layers the better ,hot flasks of oxo cubes with pepper keeps the cold out ,fishing wise I just scale everything down smaller hooks smaller feeders smaller wafters ,less is more cheers Matt keep it up

[@terrystokes7047]

Changes; tend to use 4/6mm pellets on one rod and STD 7/8mm on the second rod; also dead red maggot and groundbait when it’s really hard.

[@BarneyTrent]

Sweeter baits & smaller feeders. Maggots and bread on the rivers when cold 🥶 👍🏼

[@stephenrichardson516]

I’ve gone from method feeder in the summer to maggot feeder and pole in a few winter matches. Very different but very enjoyable not had a winter blank yet

[@yamyow]

Another great video. Ya poor dad looks frozen to death!!! We had booked a week away fishing but cancelled due to storm Bert and now this cold snap and also the lake we fish is only 3 foot deep so think we will wait till new year. Anyway westy look forward to next video.

[@mariuszel759]

No changes between summer and winter to be honest. If there's a fish interested in your bait you'll get it on the bank! All the best 👍

[@WestysAngling]

Great view ! I like this opinion 💪🏻

[@mariuszel759]

@@WestysAngling I'm a river feeder and lure fishing guy. Your grayling video was an absolute banger. Would you make a video about getting into a float fishing? You dad says he wants to so some next time so maybe go through the rig, rods to look for and all the jazz. Appreciating the content you put out!

[@antonystorey1544]

All i changed this year is my hookbait. Gone from a yellow banoffee 6mm to a fluro pink 6mm and still catching. Still on method feeder with 2mm pellets. Upto 45 mins to get bites sometimes. 4 on bank in 3hrs Sunday just gone... that'll do me son 😂

[@Ukhappy2024]

My change is to take a big flask, wrap up warm and lower expectations any fish to save the blank :)

[@kennyscouse3388]

Great video proving you can still catch in colder, variable weather conditions. My changes at this time of year are to use the smallest method/banjo feeders so there’s just a mouthful of bait for the fish, as I find they don’t move about as much so don’t need as much food. The other thing I change (like you this year) I target big Perch in the margins. I usually find dusk is the prime time to catch them.👍🏻🎣

[@mrsnrub8500]

In the winter, I'll generally just fish with one rod on a fishery like this. Smaller, sweeter baits seem to keep the bites coming on the feeder. Or, naturals on the float

[@WestysAngling]

Naturals can be killer on the right day 💪🏻

[@paulhodgkinson7000]

@@WestysAnglingworms will murder all year round 😂

[@paulhodgkinson7000]

I always take maggots in winter, saves a blank. Just bought some of your cold pellets (spent about £55 inc delivery then after that I saw it was free delivery after £60! Ha) my boys and I watch you and have fished these pegs you and your dad are in quite a few times. For the big perch, feed with a few pinkies now and again, with a lobworm on the hook

[@therotundrider2456]

Changes i make. Wrap up, bigger flask (stanley 1.9l) groundbait away and I've recently started to use a floating pellets on my method feeder. Not much luck, out 2 days last week, blanked on both. 🙈🤷‍♂️ Great content again Westy.

[@WestysAngling]

The 1.9l Stanley flask needs more credit ! Best bit of kit in my fishing gear

[@michaelmorgan6012]

Great vid westy and in terms of what I change in my winter fishing is i leave all my gear in the garage till spring 😅😊

[@WestysAngling]

Hahahaha brilliant ! ❄️❌

[@michaelmorgan6012]

@WestysAngling 👍🏻😂

[@josephodonnell2239]

Fish Hampton springs, alice lake seen some big perch out on prawns

[@emmaforeman3283]

Great Video love watching them I’ve learnt a lot from you 👍 winter fishing I have moved out of the sweet bait and into the more fishy and spicy bait ! I brought the cold water pelle bundle of you a couple of weeks ago and they are great so thank you 🙏

[@stephenlangdale516]

only thing i do between summer & winter is i feed less & leave line out longer & i only use method feeder & solid bags in winter. keep the films coming

[@rileychapman6117]

I use a pop up in the winter too to protect my rig from the dead weed Debri and stop my hook from being blunted 👍🏼

[@michaelcostello2907]

I fish mostly canals so it's time for the bread punch and pinkies

[@banjobob9409]

Another great video! I have tried smaller hook baits and scaled down hook sizes in winter months and it does seem to help a little but as you said is it just coincidence 🤔

[@angussturrock7474]

My main changes in winter is trying to use a scoop or two of ground bait within my pellet mix. It just fills the gaps and brings in a bit more attractant to the swim. Plenty of glaze on the feeder and in the pellet mix to bring the fish in. Hopefully this helps someone, if you’re struggling.

[@zzarko1969]

Hi Westy... I'm scaling down feeders to 20 grams and use smaller hooks (12, 14)... rest is same... Bistro!!

[@keithmorris5088]

Have purchased the sweetcorn pellets with the sweetcorn waffters,Had a awesome session on the weekend,was a mild weekend but surprisingly the carp still feeding in margins and even on surface with bread,still top marks with the cold water pellets looking forward to a few more cold sessions to see how they hold up👍

[@WestysAngling]

That is strange behaviour mate after the bad frost we had !

[@keithmorris5088]

@ was fishing in Monmouthshire Saturday,,14c daytime temp 6c Friday night,but days running up to that was cold

[@royalpassionreptiles7230]

Less feed more patients love the vids

[@paulslack4303]

Decent session in the end .....I don't change anything in terms of tackle cuz if Ur only expecting 1 or 2 bites why risk getting cracked off,maybe add a little groundbait to the pellets

[@andrewmcgovern7850]

Was at high hayes on Saturday just gone. Was a very tough day. I’ll take a big slab all day to save a blank. Great venue. Be back for sure. We was also on the westy pegs. This is my first winter fishing. I’d definitely change to some better warmer socks😂 but I have recently changed to two method feeder rods on a pod. Also yet to try my new korum xs support arm. Which is a lot much re sturdier than the feeder arm.

[@WestysAngling]

The rod pod really does help you just sit on your hands and wait 👌🏻

My big change for cold weather this year as been to stay at home and get through a full house re decorating project 😂 It will get me more warm weather fishing next year though ... I will be out on 23rd December though ... Rufford meadow.. Great cold water venue .. very deep with some very hard fighting carp.. Pellet feeder with yellow or white wafters

[@WestysAngling]

Definitely the best time to be doing it !

Pellets are quality used a pellet wetter to prep mine. Stayed at the same consistency all through my last session
