JAMIE HUGHES' ADVANCED METHOD FEEDER MASTERCLASS! (Take your method fishing to the next level!)

[@deltoid4]

New to feeder fishing. Long time carp angler. Enjoyed this, and more importantly, I learned something new. Thank you for sharing.

[@brianmarkie4667]

I’m just rekindling my fishing life and omg how things have changed in 30yrs. In my day fishing was all about you and your method against the fish. What I’ve just heard and seen on other vids is that method feeder fishing is no longer fishing. What I mean is you plonk the bait in and the fish hooks itself and you reel it in. It’s no longer fishing where u hunt the species but rather put more emphasis on bait preparation and sit back n wait. I ask myself is this truly fishing within the meaning of fishing.

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

When you say its no longer fishing where you hunt the fish, sounds more like fly fishing or certainly river fishing. On rivers the fish can go the length of the river! On commercials the fish are confined and therefore technically, they're already caught! All you have to do is entice them onto your hook. If you feel method fishing is a bit of a "cheat" then dont fish method! Try float or whatever you used 30 years ago and if commercials arent for you then its rivers, were you can then float, ledger, method, trot or fly! Is any of that "real" fishing? If not, what did you do 30 years ago?

[@brianmarkie4667]

@@gbwildlifeuk8269 Hi, and thanks for your informative reply. Yes, I agree that in commercial fishing, the fish are already caught per sè, and the game's name is bait prep. If you feel offended by my appraisal, that wasn't my intention. 30yrs ago and more, the point was for you to fish the water you and your club were associated with, for example, a canal. you would never know for certain if you would catch or not unless you used a small number of precise methods for the water, and if you didn't, then knowledge and experience would come into play to bring the effect of having a successful day. Now, in contrast, on my 1st day on a commercial fishery with just some basic tackle, I went home having caught over 80lb of fish and that, for a summer, was a poorish day by all accounts. So my point in comparison to yesteryear and today is that I no longer need to think of a strategy, just what colour bait I fancy using.

Thanks very much Jamie I've learnt quite a few things form your video.🎣🙂

[@ifishmatrix]

Great to hear!

[@marksaunders9292]

Brilliant tips and great video . Many thanks Jamie.👍👍

[@johnbartley207]

Fantastic video Jamie 👍tried these tips at weekend and it made a huge difference to my day. 🎣👌

[@Jacksonknox834]

Once again jamie you think on a complete different level to other anglers,love this video and Thank you for sharing your knowledge 👍👍

[@Paulvick63]

Great video 👍 I took a very long break from fishing and still learning the new methods This video is best one I’ve watched for method feeder fishing

[@geoffreylloydhall3386]

I followed this blokes advice to the letter... Absolutely bagged up!!! Thanks a bunch, Jamie.

[@harleeb9061]

It is unreal how precise and how much of a perfectionist this man is

[@terrystokley2968]

A brilliant film taught me a lot about my favourite style of fishing, from the best in the business. Keep the films coming.

[@Louistaylor088]

Same here I love this method of fishing

[@Coarseangler-h1o]

Excellent 👍 thanks Jamie

[@jamespreece6656]

I’ve learnt so much from this video thank you Jamie

[@alanoliver5378]

So it's not just chuck it and chance it 🤣🤣 top vid jamie, absolutely spot on mate.

[@kevshouse2]

Nice video again Jamie 👍......nothing but great advice from this channel.

[@slysi84]

Just found this video and I've been doing it wrong all this time. Still caught but not with this kind of regularity. Thank you Jamie!!!!

[@scott21171]

I watched this before going on a quick session this morning.... Implemented all these tips+tricks,and made such a difference!...Great in-depth video again guys, thanks a bunch!

[@paulhuddlestone8378]

Amazing! Two batches of pellets. Makes perfect sense, but something I had never considered. I will definitely try this. Also heavy bait to start, then light bait if things get difficult. Also I love the beginning, whereby you mention the positioning of the hook. A 3 inch hook length, is something else I will try, as I have always used 4 inches.

[@castawayadventuresuk]

Great advice I'm going to give this a go very soon! Thanks

[@stevengoes5083]

thanks for all the good tips and tricks Mr Jamie Hughes . im a starting match angler and fished my first ever match today i finished 5th out of 19 duo to your tips thank you 4 that still learning everyday many thanks Steven

[@christineireland7546]

We love matrix

[@jamezdavis1984]

This guy is the messiah of method feeder fishing! If only I'd gained his tips years ago, I'd have saved many frustrating hours blankly looking at a line that was leading to empty disappointment lol

[@stephenwilliams262]

Great Jamie, like your reasoning for different soak times on the micros.

Brilliant video and tips Jamie cheers 🍻👍

Very interesting video I think that I will try out some of your ways on Sunday while fishing our club match well done again another helpful video so tight lines and keep on beating Andy🎣🎣🎣⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@kevmiree268]

Great video matrix/jamie wat a insight into feeder fishing, even down to shock leaders i never thought of it in that depth b4 but will be from now on cheers. Keep these videos come 👍👍

Top bloke

[@simontemplarr3805]

well, I have just learned my lessons and watched this great video! Jamie Hughes is one of my favorites anglers :) I wish I could read the water as he does Thanks for all hints :)

[@ashriches99]

Love it guys thanks😉😀

[@mikeoxley6303]

Nice one jamie

[@Ps5_legend]

Thanks for the tip with the hook

[@williammallender8391]

Thank you Jamie for a very interesting and thoughtful video

[@shaun1961hodge]

Your videos and explanations are great. As a beginner can you explain something. During your cast, you cast out then pull the rod back and forward again. What’s the reason for it? Thanks

[@backin80s]

Such a usefull video, especially for a total begginer in method, im used to fishing bream with heavy cage feeder on big heavy stream rivers casting up to 50 -70m so a method in still watter is just so different for me. Learned a lot really.

[@alanoliver5378]

Another quick one, if you wa t a fast break down try a small handful of crushed hemp mixed with the pellets, carp only, it tends to be so active it put bream and roach off, litteraly fizzes off the feeder.

[@nathanmcintosh2527]

Just a quick question you did not mention what size pellets for the feeder did u use looks like 4mm is that right

[@davidshipman19]

On a small competition carp lake what would make you decide to start with either a method feeder or straight lead n 12” hook length please ?

[@Josh16G]

Mega learning curve right there!!!! Watching jamie and andy has helped me massively, with confidence and understanding mega lads 😀😀

[@ManiekGSF]

Genius !!!

[@liamedwards_9624]

Really enjoyed watching this, great information. The only thing I'm worried about staying clipped up on venues is some of the fish are double figures and I'm worried about it cracked off as the fish can't pull line

[@alanoliver5378]

Hiya mate, if you fish to an island, in most cases the fish can't go away from you, you have every chance of taming a double if it happens a long, don't get me wrong it can all go tits up, but that's fishing mate, best wishes and tight lines.

[@alanoliver5378]

P. S, if you're too worried about clipping up, if its only a short cast simler to Jamie's, instead of clipping up, wrap an elastic band around the spool, so you go through the clip up routine, stop the line with the finger, but wrap an elastic band around the spool instead of clipping up, you can make this quite tight, by doubling the elastic, I use this on a venue I frequently fish open water with a method feeder 10 meters past the pole line on windy days, in stead of bomb and pellet.

[@alanoliver5378]

Pps, as Jamie said in the out set, if you're fishing for a bigger stamp of fish, beef things up rod wise, the fish pulls the tip round, rod round you grab it and hold on for dear life till it turns towards you 😂 proper sqeeky bum stuff 😉

[@sme70]

Thanks great vid

[@kriskarrouze9079]

to put a bundle of maggots as hook bait I use a small/medium maggot ring on a hair with a couple of imitation floating maggots to waft it.

[@kailudin3927]

real fishing man

[@paulbaxter2964]

Really enjoyed that, but wow hasn`t fishing now got so technical, long gone are the days of an Arlesey bomb & a leger stop, thanks Jamie excellent demo

[@ifishmatrix]

At the top level it is very technical! But the great thing about fishing is that it can be as simple as you want it to be! 😃

[@newyoupersonaldevelopment3497]

Can I ask, do you make the hole in the top feeder rubber cap larger so the knot of your leader can run through should you get snapped off. I wanted to do some pre made up feeder rigs (as the beads are fiddly to thread on the bank) but was concerned the loops to attach to the reel line would stop the feeder being considered free running. A reply to this would be greatlyappreachiated. 👍

[@Bishoplabosa]

Hi hello Jamie what size pallets were you using you did not say ???

[@MrWindowman1]

so how come Jamie you have not won every match you've fished as you are so dedicated to detail is beyond me . WELL DONE

[@mrdjr6544]

As a non match angler, seems to me that success lies in the small details, get lots and lots of small details right and the success will happen. Just like everything else really. But it's identifying and adapting those small details where people like Jamie excel.

[@stewartmercer19]

I notice that just behind you there is a growth of Pampas grass 6 minute mark plus....apparently, in the 70's and 80's the household who had them in the front garden was into a bit of wifeswapping... I'm wondering, if you have to book that peg in advance. Asking for a friend. Great instruction. And the shock leader...that was interesting, I'd never of thought of that....although I always use them on rivers. Also the thinking that you must do....along with other guys who do these vids with other companies...you must come away with a headache...it's intense shit!

[@greg0uk]

If you're on the line clip what happens if a biggish carp makes a run? How do you play it?

[@shaun1961hodge]

Great video, but how do you ensure that the feeder falls the correct way up?

[@ifishmatrix]

The feeders have the weight at the bottom. They fall the same way EVERY time.

[@olivermcqueen5654]

Going on a session in about 20 mins and I'm going to use all of your tips Jamie thanks a lot 👍 edit: I caught ten fish with the techniques you mentioned can't go wrong with that👍

[@lesliefrew8402]

Hi ...great video ....theres something on the line quite a bit above the feeder, it looks like a white tube of some sorts ...what is it ? Please

[@ifishmatrix]

That’s the reflection of the sun on the line! ☀️

[@lesliefrew8402]

@@ifishmatrix no way...who would have thought that ....obviously not me 😂😂

[@TWNorthone]

So is this method suitable for Bream would we say?

[@seanunsworthwigan4640]

Top video they don't get more in-depth than that cheers

[@darrenparkinson7195]

Great video as always ,what would you do if a big carp picked the bait up and wanted to run ,I’m taking about with being clipped up , is there a easy method to unclip ..? I can see myself panicking in that situation

[@hishaamadam1460]

MAP had a reel with a clip that automatically unclipped if a big fish took it. Jamie and Andy had a vid on it a long while ago. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Offcut55]

will be using this from now on. Tended to use just the one mix but changed bait

[@JeffOrtega33]

another great video gents. Any chance of a video on setting up the shock leader please

[@ifishmatrix]

We'll get one sorted soon, Jeff!

[@AJ-cy3ij]

Could you do a video for a heavier carp approach please, 8lb +

[@minisam1988]

I feel I should have paid for this lesson.

[@janedurston8939]

Hi Jamie good stuff even if you were not a fisherman there is total logic in the finer points you have stated thank you, makes a change from some of the bullshit offered by so-called you tube fishing gurus trying to sell some Carlos fandango product kind regards Mr D

[@Dora-DeDestroyer]

They had 34 seconds, you carnt pull the wool over my eyes 😂

[@cyrilorgan9872]

the position of the hook we dont pay enough attention to. if it puts only a few more fish in the net, thank you.

[@kevc.2958]

isn't it if the hook points downwards, when the fish suck the lot in it's easier to get hooked on the bottom lip?

[@LightspeedTutorials]

British club fishing approach has misshaped european fishing tackle market. There are many redundant methods that apply only for fishing in shallow and narrow canal shaped commercial fisheries. Most fishing is around the world still is wild, random and on the move.

[@dirkschuermans6057]

👌

[@DjTommy2008]

Very nice video. Loved every minute of it. I have a question , you talked about shockleaders , what kind of knot do you use for tying it to the mainline?

[@ifishmatrix]

It is a back-to-back grinner knot. We'll get a video when we next see Jamie. 👍

[@alanoliver5378]

Can I ask a quick question, back in the mid 90s I was fishing Woodlands in carlton miniot Thirsk, UP NORTH, I was fishing traditional down the edge and upto the island, a bloke 2 pegs down using 2 rods caught fish all day I had to help him twice as he had fish on both rods, my day was OK fish wise but he's was fn cahotic he was fishing method feeder, first time I'd seen it to be honest, but here's the strange question, after the day he took me to he's car and showed me what he was using, in a nut shell it was left over Sunday dinner liquidised put in a plastic bag and left to go off, it smelt really sour, now I witnessed this with my own eyes, but to this day never tried it, usually cos there is no dinner left in my house 😂 has anyone else tried this or know of anyone trying it,?

[@alanoliver5378]

Ps that was he's method mix, maggots and worm on the hook, believe me I haven't seen such hectic fishing.

[@alanoliver5378]

Pps having said that you could catch 200lb at Woodlands hemp over prawn on the hook back then, you struggle to get a bite on the same method now, so times change, just curious about the sour mash.

[@regjenkinson6247]

Don't you use the original feeders with the mould anymore

[@ifishmatrix]

Jamie prefers the open alloy feeder for this style of fishing where there are lots of fish involved. He still uses the 'original' type method feeder, but not in this situation.

[@cardjunkie]

If the fish want it they’ll eat it

[@mikebeadle5745]

Quick point the matrix tail rubbers provided are rubbish ! Matrix can you swap them the FOX ones you make , there so much better and don’t let you feeder fall off 👍👍
