Method Feeder Fishing RED LETTER DAY at Lakeside Coarse Fishery | Fishery Reviews

Method Feeder Fishing RED LETTER DAY at Lakeside Coarse Fishery | Fishery Reviews
It's been a while but we are back with another fishery review! This session came about after the fishery was recommended to me via a local angler, I had never heard of the venue before even though it is local to us and we fish places nearby.
The session had a slow start but turned into an absolute red letter day as you will see from the video, I had to cut a lot of the catches out to keep the video to an hour! I set out to the fishery with the usual fishery review tactics of wafters and method feeders.
As always grab yourself a brew or a beer and enjoy the feature length session!

[@Royboy50]

Agree with you when it comes to anglers trying to get as close as they can I hate it ,they are usually the ones who cant cast very well and end up chucking into your peg there should be some competence test before they’re allowed on the bank

[@WestysAngling]

Yes 😂 you can fish here but first ‘draw round your hand’ 😂

[@garstangterrier501]

The major take I got from this video is just keep it simple. Spot the fish. Pellet method feeder with a wafter. Size up line. Underarm it out. 👏Im going to buy a regal bait runner like yours - £40 at angling direct - makes total sense with the carp screaming off like that.

[@WestysAngling]

Those are 100% the most important take homes from the Video!

[@rockdogization]

great days fishing guys!...theres nowt like fishing a new venue....common sense to step up ya gear...if ya gettng done all the time ..its better than leaving hooks in fish!...tight lines matt...youres is the best channel out there at the moment....keep it real!....

[@WestysAngling]

100% you get broke up your tackle, simple 🎣 thanks buddy, hopefully it continues to grow at the rate it’s growing ! We will be at 10k by 2024! Your support is awesome and very appreciated 🙏🏻

23:15 already in a bed since 22:00 and can’t fall asleep , hopefully this will help me. Got to be up at 5 to go fishing tomorrow morning ❤️

Farview fisheries in cottingley near bingley is a good day out on the feeder you have 2 lakes to choose from £8 for 1 rod or £9 for 2 give it a try mixed course fishery also with grass carp in the top lake hope to watch you and your dad fish it one day tight lines and what a day's fishing you had mate.

[@davidleigh2573]

Super stuff. Always seems that someone tries to muscle in on your swim if your doing well. Usually when they've decided where they want to fish before they've arrived. Would never do that myself try somewhere else and you learn more about the fishery. Stay safe and thanks

[@WestysAngling]

Exactly ! I fully agree with that, you don’t know if another spot is even better 😁

[@xD2TV]

Awesome day you had I can see 🎉 Shame that some anglers can’t respect people personal space, I would always choose a peg that’s is more quite as you said. Once again great video pal keep em going ❤

Brilliant again bud, love your tips as I've learnt loads and I've fished for 50 years. Just got my new pellets and wafters from Aquastim with 5% off thank you. I'm also going back to a small bomb with a little PVA bag on 👍👍

Thats what you call a red letter day pal 💪👌 papa west showing how its ment to be done again 😊 love the crack between you and your dad, never loose that Matt 👍 I understand why but you must have the patience of a saint coz that angling etiquette makes my blood boil to say the least 🤬🤬🤬 great video once again buddy 💪👌👍🎣🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🦆

[@WestysAngling]

We always have a bit of a crack when fishing ! It’s good that we have fishing as a hobby in common. Must just be lack of understanding around why it’s not polite to come fishing right next to someone. You feel like you are being rude staying something but too much angling pressure in one area can kill the fishing as uou know 👌🏻🎣

[@harryclarke-ov5nv]

What a fantastic stamp of fish !! and a lot !!,Well done Matt (and you Papa West),👍.

Lovely looking pond

[@stevenvose9949]

Great video mate. Some lovely fish ...I will be trying that fishery very soon. I've learned my lesson when some one asks how it's fishing ...I now say RUBBISH because this last few weeks every time I've said really good they always set up in the peg next to me!!

[@WestysAngling]

😂😂 this is what my Dad does ! Does work !

[@johnbullough8473]

Great video as always. Gonna have to give Lakeside a try. Just had a cracking day at Limbrick on the Aquastim pellets and wafters, quality bait, and not a mussel in sight 😂

[@WestysAngling]

😂 brilliant John ! It’s a lot like limbrick in terms of the fishing! But the carp go to 30lb I’m told….

[@johnbullough8473]

Caught my first double today, well I’m saying it was a double… forgot the scales. Anyway it was a beast, only had one eye aswell!! 12lb mainline, 10lb hook length, learnt my lesson after loosing a few good’uns the week before. as you say they don’t care. Better to go heavy than go blank 😂

[@johnbullough8473]

Caught that one eye monster on the peg you was in on your last video, right under the peg

[@WestysAngling]

Sounds like an old brute! I still get broke on occasion fushing 10lb hooklengths! Not much you can do about those ones unless you go to full carp setup 😬 sometimes the low stretch in the short feeder hooklengths works against you 😂

[@johnbullough8473]

Thanks for all the tips and kit reviews, been a real help since getting back on the bank. Keep them videos coming, looking forwards to the next one!

Greetings from Serbia, its a rare thing to share same passion father and son, thats a fortune ...one advice please fish and shoot more on rivers.

[@WestysAngling]

Hello ! Yes I would love to fish more rivers 😁 the reason I don’t fish them often is the rivers in the north-west of England are very tough, difficult fishing. I get one day off a week to fish so I like to catch. I will take this on board and fish more natural venues 👌🏻🎣😃

Hi Ken ! So just google double rod rest it should come up with the right thing.

[@stewartmk7]

Another great video.. I've never really done much bomb fishing, but could you not use a PVA bag on the hook as an attraction? I don't think I would have said anything if anyone moved into the swim opposite your dad's, but my mate would have definitely had a wander round and had a polite chat..

[@WestysAngling]

Yes definitely can use pva with the bomb! I often do that in winter 👌🏻 where was your mate when we needed him 😂 the guy looked like he was coming up to 80 so couldn’t have been too firm with him 😂 he snapped his rod on a tree anyway which was hilarious!

[@robertthompson8757]

You can't teach and old dog new tricks but you can teach them some manners .a float rod or pole with light line need to teach them feeder fishing westy

[@WestysAngling]

Or just a stronger float/pole setup with some decent elastic ! In all seriousness they where laughing about having their pole elastic snapped but a fish will probably die towing that around with it 😠 not good !

Great show as usual! If you don’t mind, what type of Tackle box are using? (You have it your hands at 16:30 in the video.) It looks roomy and organized. Do you recommend it?

Korda Tackle box and the knots is a palomar knot ! Very strong easy knot 👌🏻

well done both great fishing , you will always get those type of anglers everywhere you go its a shame really they see you catching and think time to move in , but its the way they fish and what method they are using which is not working. they should try asking for help and tips instead.

[@WestysAngling]

Great points made here Christine ! I fully agree that the techniques can have a massive effect on success. Those type of people must really not care what people think of them or not care about distance or space 😂 maybe it’s just lack of understanding about fishing etiquette, hopefully these videos help raise awareness !
