[@debbiemess9433]

Thanks I am new at pole fishing and I have just ordered a 10 m margin pole I have decide to tie my on pole rig that I know what shoting patterns to use thanks to Jamie and the funny lad

[@mickrudd1937]

Jamie I tried your shotting pattern at Partridge yesterday, on an margin mud line and was amazed at how quick fish vacate the swim know lifting in involved . Thanks for that idea

[@neilgraves7382]

[@swaglords2756]

andy @ jamie you are the dogs bollicks love watching you two lads

[@gregbiddle670]

This is the reason I miss so many bites when I'm fishing a foot from the bank. Thanks Jamie.

[@schoetersfrank]

Great Tip Jamie

[@stevemccrory9130]

Have you considered using a short length of tungsten tubing on the base of the float stem to reduce the number of shot on the line - reducing the float from carrying 8 No 8s to 5 or 6 instead? The tubing would also increase the stability of the float, as a wire stem would. Around 15mm of tungsten tubing could be the same weight as a couple of No8 shot.

[@luketrueman8924]

Great Video as always! Just a quick question - Like the Larford Video are you pluming 4 or5 inches over depth on the rig where you can't get up against the bank to achieve the curve in the line?

[@WinningWays]

Around a float length over depth :)

[@chris8062]

Where I fish it's about 4 foot in the margins and I always catch far more by feeding regularly with 4mm pellets and fishing with a light float on the drop rather than anchoring a bait to the deck. I never get line bites while fishing the margins this way and they take the bait far more positively too. It works for me. Obviously you'd struggle fishing this way in margins that were less than 18 inches deep.

[@fishchipsandmushypeas]

Do you have any shot on the line at all?

[@tonyholdsworth1125]

Jamie so if the depth is 18” you are fishing in do you just add another 6” to get that ark . Great job on all you and Andy’s blogs.

[@WinningWays]

Yes, around a float length over depth.

[@blueeyedbrothers9308]

And will there be a free live video coming at bradshaw hall fisheryies or partridge?

[@WinningWays]

john and rob angling the live matches are only available to channel members.

[@daisybates3635]

[@WinningWays]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp26noxopp2rnZY There is one available on our members channel if you wanted to check that out :)

[@glennmallinson2012]

Jamie, how are you plumbing this rig up? Dead Depth or last dropping shot on the deck up or do you you allow for the bend ?

[@WinningWays]

Around a float length over depth 👍🏻

[@glennmallinson2012]

At Lindholme tomorrow so will give it a go, Thank you very muchly....

[@robnicol7869]

have you lovely guys tried using fjuka baits could you so a review and let us know thanks lads

[@WinningWays]

Not something we've tried.

[@stevemccrory9130]

Are we going to be getting an "open-water" one too?

[@WinningWays]

We’ll be covering all sorts in this mini series, next one up is shallow fishing 👍🏻

[@poodle559]

AGGGGH, I need to change all mi edge rigs now!👍

[@stevemccrory9130]

Not change, but just be open to the option of using spread shot on a slightly overdepth rig (plumbed up to a float-length extra line below the float), and then holding the rig on a tight line - have another watch of the Larford margin fishing video for a better explanation.

[@schoetersfrank]

Professor Jamie hihihi

[@JeffOrtega33]

Thanks for sharing and explaining the methods guys all makes sense and can see why we make simple mistakes. Just to ask like at Heronbrook where it's deep across could this method would work too

[@WinningWays]

Basically wherever you can’t get right up to the edge 👍🏻

[@Jude-wp3hi]

Omg hi

[@Darrenb8276]

Not what I was expecting. Thought it would explain the different shotting patterns that are out there. Not just for margin fishing.

[@WinningWays]

We’re breaking them down into separate videos to make it easy to digest. Loads to cover so more to come 👍🏻

[@grumpygrandad1216]

Andy, Andy, Andy, STOP making out you’re a rubbish angler lol, I have said before and I will say it again mate, you are still one of the best anglers on the circuit and you are respected by all, I just wish I was as rubbish as you 😂😂😂 🎣 also remember Jamie use to be a fish 🐠
