Always get a fair view because you are not affiliated to a company . Good , keep it up . Watch your channel all the time . Thanks .

[@BarryGarcia-we2cd]

Well done you. Sometimes when you get a bit of agg it makes the good catches even more worth while. Very good video it shows the ups & downs.

[@leegarner6013]

Can’t believe you stuck that out in that weather. Some very nice carp caught mate. Well deserved for your effort. 👍

[@SeanSidious]

Look at your phone screen to check if your glasses are polarised. The phone screen will look a bit funky for lack of a better word lol. New subscriber btw, loving the feeder content. Keep up the great vids Westy 👍🏻🎣

[@WestysAngling]

Thanks for the Sub Sean ! Also for the tip! I’m pretty sure they are polarised 👌🏻👍🏻 tight lines buddy 🎣

Well done Westy great video as usual you caught some good fish despite the terrible weather hopefully one day the suns going to shine on you thanks again for a down to earth video the bait band through the corn method works well with meat as well 👍

[@WestysAngling]

Thanks John ! Yes I bet it works great for meat. It does always seem to be bad weather when I’m on the bank 😂🌧️

[@nickbrown5122]

Really enjoyed the video. Thoroughly enjoyed your review of Limbrick and I fished that peg not long after first one and planning to go again coronation week and include a few of your other recommended fisheries as well. Very inspirational, honest, and above all … Fun. Note your dad wins a lot! Go the oldies! 😅

[@WestysAngling]

Nice comment that Nick thank you ! Glad you are getting something from them, I may see you out on the bank at some point 👌🏻🎣 I let him win … obviously 😉

Been on Wrightington fishery’s today, fished the aerator peg on your tactics & absolutely smashed it, weather was absolutely shocking like but fishing was spot on, ps them rigs are shite make sure you tie the loop on top yourself lost 3 rigs & fish today on same ones

[@WestysAngling]

Thanks for the advice! I will be careful with them 👍🏻 only emergency rigs anyway 👌🏻I had a great day at Wrightington last week 🎣 definitely one of my fave fisheries !

[@DeanGriffiths12]

@@WestysAngling I had never fished it before yesterday n already can’t wait to go back 🤞🏻end of the week, I got same rigs at weekend as back up plan & needed them after 4th fish (they fight pretty hard in Wrightington) & found out the hard way they are crap, lost all 3 of them on bounce then ended up using some used ones from my tackle

[@stevemccann4166]

Is that the one that used to have loads of Barbel by bridge. Had a bad year a few years ago and loads of fish died. Was fishing a club match there and hard fishing as a result.

[@paulpeers1403]

I am in Feeder Fishing UK on Facebook and there have been several conversations about guru hooklenths breaking easily. May be a bad batch or generally weak. Need to change often. Keep up the good work. Enjoy the vis immensely 👍👍👍

[@WestysAngling]

They aren’t the best Paul but are good to use if you want to be lazy ! 🤣🎣

[@greenwooddigger]

Well done for sticking it out in that rain Matt, looked a cold one too. Good to see you on the old method feeders again. So you've caused a national shortage of the Korum Bait buckets, glad I got mine before they sold out!!👍

[@WestysAngling]

😂😂 this may actually be true ! Korum will be scratching their heads wondering why 😂👍🏻

[@nickbrown5122]

I also got one after seeing it on WestysAngling …. Brilliant bit of kit 😀

[@daveclark2643]

Great vid again! Shame lost that one that snapped your line! That's reason i never clip up! Was good to see you out in the rain again lol😂

[@WestysAngling]

I never normally clip up either Dave ! Hence forgetting 😂

[@daveclark2643]

​@@WestysAngling I know you like method feeding & i have seen you use mesh bags! But have you (or do you) ever use solid bags? I have started using them quite a lot over winter months with good results! 👍

[@WestysAngling]

I have used them in the past! But I do prefer a fine mesh especially with the type of rigs I use (Ronnies or turbo) 🎣 but I know they are effective!

[@roberthawley631]

Wicked sesh mate

[@samhulme]

Nice video again westy, me and a work mate are going to limbrick for the first time next month, staying over a few night, hopefully have a few lumps out 🤞🏻 to answer your question on the polarized glasses, if you put a white screen on your phone or tv, either put your glasses on and tilt your head to the side or hold them out infront of you and tilt them from side to side. If they are polarized the screen/picture should go lighter and darker as you tilt them. Tight lines pal 🎣

[@WestysAngling]

Hope you manage a few buddy ! Thanks for taking the time to give me that advice 👌🏻🕶️ I will give that a go !

Nice carp,small tip, in Belgium you can buy a holder for your umbrella at caperlan that fits on your chair. Then the umbrella stands nicely above your head and cannot blow away.

[@leepage8192]

Top video again westy. Shame about the one that got away. I’m a bit hesitant about clipping up sometimes due to been snapped off. Looks like you might have needed a bigger net one of them mirrors was a long one. Good to see you had ya trousers this time hope you stayed a bit drier this time. Well done to you and your dad keep it up love the videos 👍

[@WestysAngling]

Haha that is my bigger net 😂 I know gutted but it’s my own fault! Oh well you live and learn. Definitely pushed those waterproofs to their limits that day ☔️🌧️

[@Luveasyfishing]

Well done bud. I got snapped off Saturday ,bloody annoying 😢

[@TheJono75]

From one avid feeder angler to another....love the vids!! I fish on carp lakes with a 10 and 11 ft monster x feeder rod, with 8 or 10lb diawa sensor, using a 28g guru hybrid feeder with a speed bead....been smashing all the carp anglers...biggest was 26.5lb!! On 10lb line with a 9lb hook link x

[@WestysAngling]

Sounds like we have a similar style of fishing ! Glad you have found the channel 🎣 you have done really well there mate, cracking fish on light tackle 👍🏻

[@TheJono75]

And using a preston innovations 620 feeder reels x

[@TheJono75]

@WestysAngling yeah I like the way you use the method on specimen rods with alarms, gonna give it a try on my carp rods in the next few weeks!!! But nothings feels as good as big carp on the feeder bent I half on light gear!!! X

[@WestysAngling]

Agreed !! 👌🏻🎣

[@firstknight6057]

I always use guru QM1 size 14 on a 7lb hook length 8lb main line 10’ drennan red feeder rod and landed carp to 14lb no problem balance the tackle is the key…….tight lines buddy

[@connorgunningham3907]

100% should try that challenge wafter vs sweetcorn, at my local sweetcorn has battered wafters, however I tried it thinking yellow wafters as there the same colour, and corn still smashed it, I've got a night session booked for the local that just been stocked with about 60 more carp up to about 20lbs, will 100% be trying pink wafters this time as we've all seen how good they have been for you, tight lines, great vid

[@WestysAngling]

Definitely give them a go Connor ! Still my favourite bait ! But I think putting corn on every 3/4 casts may trick the odd carp 👍🏻🎣

[@michaelwalker1964]

I'm always on limbrick the carp are beautiful thiers a beautiful light grey carp in that pond its a whoppa aswell

[@WestysAngling]

Id love to catch that ! 👌🏻🎣

[@michaelwalker1964]

@WestysAngling mate I keep going back to get it

[@charlesrowland6690]

looks good wher do you recomend fishing in winter

[@WestysAngling]

Anywhere deep 👍🏻

[@stevemccann4166]

Believe that mirrors are more aggressive when it comes to bites and fights than other carp species. Have got a bit of an attitude. A 4lb mirror fights just as hard as a 8lb common more often than not.

[@roberthawley631]

You put that hook under your landing mat when you had that mirror😂

[@WestysAngling]

I know 😂😂 I noticed when I was editing . Well spotted! it’s actually still there haha will use it next session !

[@geraldhills41]

What landing net handel is that . looks very strong , unlike a Maver I had for just a few sessions !

[@WestysAngling]

I really struggle to find good landing net handles 😂 I go through them like there is no tomorrow!

[@michaelwalker1964]

That fish always snaps me off if on feeder its a chunk mate but go on the specimen rod it puts up a mega fight

[@christopherjones7304]

Thinking of popping down to limbrick tomorrow after watching your vids here as the carp look absolutely amazing. Might go in your spot if it's okay 👍😅

[@WestysAngling]

As long as I’m not fishing it Chris 😉 haha yes get in that little bay mate ! Make sure you fish heavy some cracking carp in and they fight like mad 👍🏻🎣

No problem! Thanks for watching I’m glad it’s helped 👌🏻🎣

Try getting fingerless neoprene gloves m8 even though they get wet still keeps your hands relatively warm

I have a couple of pairs buddy! I should probably wear them !

[@tarkanmear9043]

You should try passies pond for a video mate I gone there on Friday caught plenty of car and bream and got my rode polled in

[@WestysAngling]

I will google it and have a look 👌🏻👍🏻

[@tarkanmear9043]

I'd u do go try the match lake it

[@Remote-Key-Repair]

Try using scale down carp rigs... Fluorocarbon hook links size 10/12 hooks 10mm boilies... 8-11mm pellets as feed you can get them in 25kg bags save so much £££ just add in a few boilies here and there... A much more simple way of fishing and I've always done just as good... There are circumstances where the method does better vise versa

[@AR1FC]

Binge watching your vids, luvin them, learning so much thank you, just a quick one which reel are you using?

[@WestysAngling]

Glad you are enjoying them pal ! Shimano 4000 gt reels, they don’t make them anymore, pretty old reel. I have recently upgraded to Daiwa regal 3000 reels and I like them 👍🏻🎣

[@Remote-Key-Repair]

I've been snapped off while using 20lb line fishing tight to snags... Usually it's the lines that snap are the ones with the least stretch... Guru hook lengths are naf for snag fishing

[@WestysAngling]

I definitely agree with this ! Absolutely no stretch in the guru hook-lengths you have to scale them up for the strength. They are low diameter though because obviously they are thinned out. It’s all give and take ! Definitely helps if you take your line out your clip though 😂😂

[@northernthrifter8817]

​@@WestysAngling school boy error lad line clip. I use 4lb sensor with the pellet waggler coupled with guru traces upto 7lb I've yet to have the 4lb sensor break and had fish upto 14lb go figure!

[@WestysAngling]

Tell me about it !! Lesson learned, yes to be fair I have never had sensor line break! Only usually hook lengths 👍🏻👌🏻

i did my first method session of the year yesterday with my dad, it was awesome! Cool catche m8, did you try some boilie crush yet in your feed? It worked great for me, much more visable for the fish :)

[@WestysAngling]

I have done before! I tend to use it in pva bags though rather than on the feeder or just underarmed into the margins

[@garrymobey912]

Good work buddy, do you loose feed around the feeder as well

[@WestysAngling]

Sometimes to build up a swim if I’m using a small feeder 👌🏻

[@WestysAngling]

Super Steel ☂️

[@Remote-Key-Repair]

Hi mate... The reason why you were snapped off was due to the fact you allowed yourself to be flat rodded... Meaning the rod couldn't do the work and bend to prevent line from snapping... If you feel like you're about to be flat rodded loosen your clutch I understand you may have been trying to turn the fish away from the aerator but you can only apply so much pressure... The aim is to always keep a decent bend and if the fish is pulling so hard u almost have to reach your arm out with the rod you're still too tight on the clutch... Even 15lb line will snap if you're not allowing the fish to take line... This is why people use 20lb line while snag fishing if you're unable to give the fish line

[@WestysAngling]

It hit the clip Paul, that’s why it broke. I hadn’t realised I had swapped rods from the one I had too the reeds 👌🏻🎣

[@Remote-Key-Repair]

@@WestysAngling ahhh bugger done that before 😂🙈🙈

[@conrad-rx8wj]

Anybets that fish what broke off was a ghost carp. There none for fighting and running like that.

[@neilrichards6217]

Keeping it reel as usual m8 but how come you don't use bayonets for wafters, I find you get a much better presentation using bayonets over pellet bands 🤣🤣

[@WestysAngling]

I really dislike them ! I honestly prefer the bands for presentation, I think you get more free movement with the bait bands! Who knows, just my preference 🤷🏼‍♂️😂🎣

[@neilrichards6217]

Ps don't use guru or Preston hook lengths when carp fishing they always break on the knot, or use an elasticated stem when allowed 🤣🤣 works for me hehehe

[@WestysAngling]

If I was to choose I would definitely use an elasticated system also but I get shunned on here for using them 😂😂

[@stevemccann4166]

You can bayonet the wafter through the end so vertical instead of horizontal as it would be if banded and have found it better too.
