Hundreds of Mini Carp Attack my Method Feeder! Charity Farm | Fishery Reviews

[@ryrobbo]

This is the second time you've delayed me getting out onto the bank for my Sunday session 😆😆

[@WestysAngling]

Haha ! Sorry Ryan ! Actual fishing before westysangling always ! Hope you catch mate 👌🏻

[@ryrobbo]

Cheers mate. Torn between the Ribble or Wrightington today. Packed for both so will decide when I get on the M6.

[@WestysAngling]

I’m stocking up on feeders for some ribble fishing this year. Probably be fishing well after the recent rain.

[@ryrobbo]

Levels have been yo-yoing with the recent rain but it's still low compared to the average. Fingers crossed 🤞

I fished Charity Farm 8-10 or so years ago, I found the fish welfare on the large lake a lot to be desired. In fact, my last trip there, they were draining the lake & I was told they had lost a lot of the fish from it. I went to another local water (just up the road) and bagged up, so never been back to Charity Farm. Great video & review again, love your videos, especially as I also fish a lot of these waters. Nice to see someone else’s perspective on waters I fish. 👍🏻👍🏻🎣

[@luckyfrenchies7153]

Good video. The ugly stick are fantastic rods. I've had carp to over 20lb tope to 23lb but also great bite detection for smaller fish. Keep the videos coming.👍🏻.

[@josephquinn7356]

Great video! You’re explanations of what you’re doing are really helpful as well.

A week to work Westy then a week off. I will be trying this one out for deff. Great vid and love the rating/recommendation features. 👍

[@ryrobbo]

I've not been to Charity Farm before but my mate used to fish it regularly. He stopped going a few years ago as it had "gone down hill". Looks like not much has changed. It has definitely saved me from a visit in the near future.

[@WestysAngling]

Yes there are definitely a list of fisheries I’d rather visit !

Just happened to be browsing wen this vid caught my attention. This is my local wich I fish every week, my second home. I fished the next peg to you on Saturday and battered them. Them top end pegs usually produce the decent fish if you know the correct method. Ground baits a no no unless u want to catch the small uns. I prefer to go for the carp,bream and the decent size f1s. The fish here battle like he'll and u gota be ready for em shooting under them trees on the island. I fish 2. Metres away from the island with a 20s bomb, nowt else.. hard 4/6m pellets, nowt fancy. Feeding 4s every 5mins, stop feeding and you'll not catch em.you have to constantly be at it with the catty. This place is a brilliant under rated venue coz some anglers don't know how to fish it right.keep it simple and you should bag up.never fancied the south bank pegs tho.

[@stevemccann4166]

Catching what I would call ‘pike bait.’ Where is your dad? I use a map pin to drill hole in wafter through the end first so wafting vertical instead of horizontal and had better results

[@MattDMc84]

Late to the party but I was shocked to see so many fish-fingers coming out of charity. Last time I fished there, the majority of the carp I caught were between 7lb and 10lb with a couple going up to 12-14.

[@WestysAngling]

It used to be really good mate ! A bit of an update but I think he has netted it now so it may be alright !

[@MattDMc84]

@@WestysAngling the 'top' pond used to be my favourite - great mix of species and a big old tree to fish under. Then came...the stages... all of those bloody stages. I'm feeling nostalgic now. Same for Heskin Hall as well, great places that 'updated' in all the wrong ways. Or rather, went in directions I wasn't keen on - everyone's taste varies.

[@felgate11]

Have a look at the "Guru Underwater" Vid's on the Tube. It certainly opens ones eyes as to how Method feeders Actually behave!! Great Underwater footage on real venues!! (not fish tanks)

[@Adamfishing420]

Great watch as always mate ✌🏻

[@WestysAngling]

Thanks Adam ! All the best Mate ✌️

[@jameskelsall3911]

westy please do another video here on pond 1 myself and my son and now my dad have fished here (me and my dad havent fished for 30 years ish) weve found pond 1 very productive on spam had carp upto 7 lb my friend had a 10+ and ive seen plenty high 10's come out. we love your video's been very helpfull and enyoyable to watch

[@WestysAngling]

We will give it another go this year for you 👌🏻

[@jameskelsall3911]

@@WestysAngling thankyou westy thats awesome

[@jayleft]

Thanks for the vid mate, great watch. Found your vid because i was looking for some advice about the fishery, im planning on going with my mate tomorrow. I use to fish charity a lot about 10-12 years ago but ive not been back since. What lake would you recommend to chuck a feeder about and catch plenty of fish? We're not after massive carp or anything, just want to get out and put a bend in the rod

[@WestysAngling]

Id still fish their specimen lake (doughnut lake), you should catch a good few carp if they aren’t spawning. Fish either the far left corner peg near the reeds or the peg in front of the two small lakes about 1ft out from the side really tight in, there is an overflow pipe, the carp like that area 👌🏻🎣 hope that helps ! I haven’t fished it in a while so let me know how you get on !

[@jayleft]

Thanks for the advice mate, appreciate it! I'll let you know tomorrow evening how it was 👊

[@badgerbaiter2888]

I see you have a caperlan chair. What do you reckon on that brand? Been looking at their poles , as they look great value.

[@WestysAngling]

Seems Decent quality stuff mate from my experience!

[@carpcatcher]

Please review rookery waters specimen lake it is an easy lake good for feeder fishing and also got loads of decent fish

[@WestysAngling]

I will put it on the list! Thanks for commenting 👌🏻👍🏻

[@hopingowen]

I had to laugh. The only thing I can get those spikes into is my finger😅

[@WestysAngling]

Bait spikes are hard work 😂

[@justluvfishinguk]

Wow buddy ..plaqued by tiny carp ….good vid tho … cheers Chris & Sam

[@WestysAngling]

Yes it was heaving with them ! Thanks to you both ☺️

[@rockdogization]

those small carp wud be annoying its difficult to get to the bigger fish...if theres huge numbers of em...but you had a go and its about catching ...so its gotta be better than blanking...nice one guys...looking forward to ya fishing for big perch if ya get around to it! tight lines.....

[@WestysAngling]

I think it’s absolutely infested with them ! Was very frustrating I’d of never have got through to the better fish. But like you say not a blank ! Oh definitely some perch fishing coming up over the next few weeks ! Just for you buddy 👌🏻 whether they end up being big perch is another story 😂

[@rockdogization]

@@WestysAngling looking forward to that one..i target the bigger ones on prawn on a local pond near me had em to 2 plus but nowt bigger yet..........

[@WestysAngling]

@@rockdogization apparently they go to 3lb + in high heyes near us . They get caught on worm and maggot

[@gregrot]

Those small carp need netting out to give the bigger fish a chance to grow on. Put the small fish in another pool and feed them, they'll be the bigger stock for the future.

[@WestysAngling]

Agreed 👌🏻👍🏻 thanks for commenting !

[@dazbooth7]

Won’t be going there in a hurry 😂

[@lenraby5920]

The lake environments look like they are suffering from neglect.

[@WestysAngling]

Seemed that way Len !

[@keithfox4060]

Give the carp a few years to put on weight it maybe worth a return visit, better look next time with the ugly stick.

[@WestysAngling]

I agree Keith! Yes the ugly stick will be back 😂👍🏻

[@ianwest9784]

Fished it once many years ago ... Shithole .. Never been back....
