Method Feeder Margin Fishing With Mainline Match Wafters | Hall Lane Fishery

[@tomhill9934]

Regarding the fishing slowing down in the midday sun, it's usually because carp come up in the water in the sunshine. I always have a pellet waggler set up and switch to that when it gets bright, catch on the drop high in the water. Then once the sun disappears I go back to feeder. Not saying you won't catch on the bottom in the sunshine but it certainly slows down.

[@hammertiming8423]

Sometimes you get it.. Sometimes you don't.. it's just the way it is, no matter what time of day it is.

[@christopherjones7304]

I'm the same with the coffee mate I never have the will power to make me flask last the whole day. I'm then spending the rest of the day wondering where to go for a piss

[@WestysAngling]

😂😂 this made me laugh! That fishery is the worst for taking a p*** because it’s literally just straight hedges so no matter what angle you stand at someone is seeing it 🎣 I mean … could walk to the toilet block but nobody got time for that 😂

[@ashb4951]

Great vid westy think ill be trying this place on friday 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@billylufc6755]

I agree with u on that it goes really slow midday then later afternoon it’s class in Margins

Another great video, you enjoy your fishing and making the videos. A cracking watch till I can get to the fishing bank. Feels like I am fishing with you. Keep up the great work.

[@WestysAngling]

That’s what I’m trying to to achieve when filming 🎣 make it feel like that your right there on the bank 👌🏻

[@tubetonylee09]

Great film pal, you both had some belting fish 👍 looks like its a trip to the shop to get some cell wafters now 😃😃😃

[@WestysAngling]

😂 I don’t think you will be disappointed in them ! They are bringing out some essential cell wafters (yellow ones ) soon that I’m excited to try !

[@arthurmorris98]

Cracking session you and your Dad , p. s. I'll be giving those wafters a go, great video. 👍

[@leejordan7252]

new fishing chair. I have the tracker level lite the same as you, and all I have done is got the korum any chair adapters and added them to my tracker and works great.

[@WestysAngling]

This is a good idea ! May have to have a go at that

[@stephenbalderson8459]

I never have the table connected on my chair. It does, as you say, get in the way of netting. Good video mate. Keep it up.

[@WestysAngling]

Now I know why they make tables without legs 😂 to be honest I think mine would be fine without the leg!

[@stephenbalderson8459]

@WestysAngling It's for match fishermen I guess. They never move from the chair unhooking yhe fish on their lap. Sod that! 😄

[@SuperBulldog03]

Every venue I fish, they all insist on a 42" net, I'm surprised they don't there.

[@WestysAngling]

Just specimen lakes that insist on that buddy, normal coarse/ match lakes don’t have those requirements

[@xD2TV]

Awesome venue, some really good fish’s in the net well done guys 🎉❤ I will definitely try this wafters 😊

Some nice fish there eh westy. It strange fishin when dads only 30 ft away and not doing so well as yourself but thats fishin eh mate. Nice to see the flying bream seem to be getting into one or two fisheries now .

[@WestysAngling]

Bird-bream hybrids 😂 I know there is literally no logic too it, only thing I did differently was put a few handfuls of pellets in the margins before I started and was throwing them in over the top of the method every now and again so maybe I just got them competing in that area ? Who bloody knows 🎣🐟 🤷🏼

[@chrissmart9625]

Cheers mate another great video keeping it real 👍 thanks to your videos I went out and bought my first method feeder rod , Drennan vertex 10ft had so much fun great through action rod matched with a shimarno Sahara 4000 fight drag awesome fishing experience all down to you 👍

Nice video westy some cracking fish caught there for you and your dad. Going to have to try them wafters I normally use the sonibait ones too but tried some 6mm banoffee sinkers last week and they were really good on the method feeder. Anyway at least your net stayed in one piece 😂. Keep the videos coming really enjoy them and picking up some tips too 👍

[@WestysAngling]

It’s good to mix it up every now and again ! I always take a few kinds of wafters and sinkers. If it’s a silty venue though always go wafters 👌🏻 if it’s a nice clean bottom definitely pellet and sinkers 🎣

[@oovdylanvoo8783]

[@WestysAngling]

Yes definitely spawning damage! Early this year !

[@peterchilton9700]

Hiya bud....enjoyed your video. I had a bream do exactly what you filmed. I caught in on a wafter and it leaped twice .....just as yours did. I can't remember a bream ever doing that. It wasn't spawning.

[@WestysAngling]

Bream sometimes do leap like this I have had it a few times, but never this dramatic!! Crazy 😂

[@stewartmk7]

Another great video, I really love waggler fishing, but you're gradually converting me to doing more on the method. By the way, if I sat as close as you do to the edge, then I'd definitely fall in 😂.

[@WestysAngling]

😂 good point ! Probably no reason I can’t sit a little further back ! I do enjoy waggler fishing but it’s something I reserve for tough conditions, it seems like I always get a much better stamp of fish on the feeder. My dad used to fish waggler 98% of the time but saw how many I was catching on the feeder years ago and the size of them and he came round to the dark side eventually 😉😂🎣

[@AR1FC]

Hey matey, luv the vids. Where can I get the rod rest arm that's attached to your chair?

[@WestysAngling]

Decathlon, it comes with the caperlan feeder chair but I think you can buy it separately 👍🏻🎣

[@nickolattee]

Have recently tried feeder fishing after getting a dedicated feeder rod, so far I have ended up with a few roach, bream tench and my new pb carp of 7.8lbs I see you always use washed out wafters so i picked some up 6mm ones. Hooked now and now want to get 8 and 10mm lol

[@WestysAngling]

Oh yes you will bag up on the washed out !! My favourite wafter

[@JP-tz7wi]

well done good days fishing jp.

[@WestysAngling]

Thanks JP 🎣 best day I have had in a while, good number of near doubles !

[@martingurman215]

Brilliant video yet again looks an awsome fishery,some great fish caught yet again those cell wafters look like they do the business, but I think I will stick with my sonubaits washed out pink wafters they really seem to do the job for me keep up the great work.

Another great video. Hall Lane is on the list for the A49 tour based in the caravan at Heskin Old Hall. Superb fish you got there. Could the wounds be from spawning? They do do some daft things when spawning and can get injured.

[@WestysAngling]

I think the wounds where from spawning yes 👌🏻

Nice fishing. When I mainstreamed carp Cell was always my go to bait. Never let me down Will be getting some wafters, that's a deffo. Did you use the clip on the MAP hybrid and did it work better. The Bream could have been hanging around ready to mop up fish eggs when the Carp spawned. Wondered if the red marks could have been from spawning. Stay safe and thanks

[@WestysAngling]

No 😂 the clip does not work David, please don’t use it ! It shortens the hooklength and we all know 4inch is optimum 👌🏻🎣 I think they where from spawning you are right !

[@kennyscouse3388]

Really smashed it on that venue.👍🏻 As a test though, I’d have thought you’d have tried the trusty pink wafter, or sweetcorn, just to confirm if it was the cell wafters or ‘right swim/right day’ on doing so well? What bait was your Dad using? Maybe, if it wasn’t cell, that’s why he didn’t have such a productive day as you? Anyway, another great video Matt.👌🏻🎣

[@WestysAngling]

That’s true that ! I just wanted to give them a good test out the white wafters 👌🏻 my dad was using different wafters all day ! He doesn’t get involved in my silly bait tests 😂😂

The tip shouldn’t snap buddy too flexible ! I have never had that happen even with 1oz tips ! You even had a bad tip with some minor damage you didn’t notice or your line caught round it. The tips oz is more for casting and bite indication than it is for playing power. I think you have just been unlucky. Most of my tips are 1.5 🎣👌🏻
