Spring Method Feeder Fishing | You won’t believe how many species we caught!

Spring Method Feeder Fishing | You won’t believe how many species we caught!
With spring being officially on us me and my Dad decided on a session at High Heyes to target some tench! Well, we got a lot more species than we bargained for, including some not often caught on the method feeder.
As always grab yourself a brew or a beer and enjoy the video!

Thanks Westy - as a relatively inexperienced angler I find your videos useful and enjoyable. For me, I like you talking on the videos. Best wishes to you and your dad.

[@charlesboundy5355]

Comments are best. Really enjoyed and very informative 🐟

[@stephenperry853]

Thanks westy and your dad keep talking and fish how you always have keep the good work going all the best wolfman Steve from Wellington Telford 👍

[@CiscoKid66]

Great session and video. We'll done for sticking it out in the atrocious weather.

[@geraldhills41]

I have tried different styles of fishing , including beach casting , always come back to the method feeder . Like you said you've got to enjoy it !

[@DaveHelen62]

So nice to see you out and about with your Dad you fish well together and it does my heart proud to see you

[@WestysAngling]

That’s nice of you to say Dave thank you !

[@felgate11]

Eh' up buddy, about 3 weeks ago, I glazed a small bait box full of 8 mm Swim Stim sweet F1 & Normal Fishery Pellets with a mixture of Chocolate Orange attractant, Black Treacle & Golden syrup. They still haven't broken down & are like little Toffee Apples. So, even cheap Fishery Pellets can be changed into something a bit special & stored for ages.

[@ashb4951]

Great fishery and well done both of you 👍🏻👍🏻

You're dead right ,do it for your own pleasure. Have fun, thanks for the videos; much enjoyed by me.

Brilliant video as always, Don’t change a thing , the way you fish , you talking through your trip , it all adds to the enjoyment. Always look forward to your vids , highlight of my week 😂🎣, loved the Tench , my favourite fish , them and crucians, got my first trip in over a year this weekend, can’t wait , keep doing it your way my friend, it’s pure dead brilliant 😂😂🎣🎣

[@WestysAngling]

Thanks Chris !!! 🎣🎣

[@peterchilton9700]

Hiya bud...I've just finished watching this video...I wasn't sure if it was the noise from your fishing in the rain or the rain lashing down on my conservatory roof!! I enjoyed your video. I've been fishing today at a lincolnshire, my local pond, all around me were catching F1s and I was pulling in bream ....really nice size.

[@WestysAngling]

I actually really enjoy pulling in big slabs ! Makes a change from carp sometimes 👌🏻 haha ideal weather conditions tonight to watch that video, definitely sets the scene Peter 😂

[@raycox3469]

Fished Harry's for first time on sunday.had 2 carp.10lb and 8lb and lots of roach and gudgeon on pole.rained all day.

Yes ! Very interesting, some conflicting information with my own findings as well 🎣

Wonderfull Tinka (Tench)👍👍👍👍👍

[@neilholden691]

Sound on or off no probs for me pal 👌 Just wish we could hear more of Papa Westy for his input on some of the vids. Very hard to get his comments at times 😢 I'll send you a picture of my clonker perch I caught on a pink wafter at Pheasants Wood Fishery 👌👌👌

[@WestysAngling]

Definitely Neil send it over 👍🏻🎣 haha my Dad is a very quiet bloke, hard to get him to speak up for the camera 😂

[@Keepitsimple-m4p]

Good for you, you fish how you want, I went yesterday and blanked, but I was out and still enjoyed it. Keep going m8

[@WestysAngling]

Thanks Paul ! Exactly better than being stuck in 🎣

[@davidleigh2573]

What a session, I really enjoyed that and didn't get as wet as you did! Great fishing, good mix of fish and you both caught. Stay safe and thanks

[@WestysAngling]

Thanks David ! 🎣🎣

[@HinckleyHammer]

I really enjoy your videos and have learned so much since I started following your channel. Please keep talking and explaining what and why you are doing things. Cheers 👍

[@WestysAngling]

No problem at all ! Glad you have picked up a couple of tips 👍🏻👌🏻🐟

Its always interesting listening to the angler explain his thoughts , strategies and tactics mate . Keep it up pal

Great video as usual Westy I personally enjoy the talking how you explain things I've learnt a lot from it great days fishing but I don't know if I would of stopped long in that dreadful weather well done to you both

[@WestysAngling]

I think if the fishing wasn’t as good we would have sacked it off a lot earlier 😂😂😂

[@daveclark2643]

Keep up with the commentary it helps keep me awake while sat watching you in the evenings lol need to see more of you getting a soaking in the rain please😅

What a fantastic session you both had,hope mines that good on friday,cracking video again hoping to catch my first tench keep up the great content .

[@WestysAngling]

Tench are a great fish to catch ! Fight so hard for their size 🐟

[@jasonhunt1852]

I'm the same as you westy, I don't think there's a wrong way to fish. I like to keep it simple. I got myself a nice tench last week. One of my favourites to catch, lovely colours and it's weird to say but I like the feel of them 🤣🤣. Keep up the good work and don't change anything about your vids, me and my mates love em 😊

[@WestysAngling]

Awesome comment this Jason ! Oddly I know what you mean about the feel of tench ultra slickly 😂 they do change quite dramatically in colours don’t they greens, golds , purples and browns ! Thanks tight lines to you and your mates 🎣

Prefer commentary mate,learned some good stuff and I’ve bought some gear you’ve shown.Your channel is of the same level as me,a lot better than the professional vids,they make it piss easy🤣🤣

[@WestysAngling]

Haha if it was too easy it wouldn’t be as enjoyable 😂 the videos are definitely as real as it gets! I think the vote is definitely towards the commentary 👌🏻🎣

[@splodgefpv5927]

I actually listen on my head phones whiles working on cars like it’s a pod cast 😂 then I run to my phone on my toolbox when you get a bite or for set up info 👍

Another great video westy,nah mate keep talking better when you explain what your doing ,keep it up mate

[@leepage8192]

Quality video as usual, keep the commentary for me love the advice you give. Was wondering which way you wash your waterproofs I’ve got the same suit as you and wasn’t sure how to keep them watertight? Cheers.

[@WestysAngling]

Haha they definitely didn’t need a wash after that day ! I try to wash them as little as possible. When they need it though I wash them at 30c on a short cycle. Then spray them down a bit with water proofing stuff 👍🏻

[@leepage8192]

Thanks Westy. I’ve been fishing a local pond which holds roach,Rudd,tench and various carp. Had a my first couple of tench last week they put up a good fight,also pulled a couple of koi carp too just on the float with sweetcorn and some banoffee sauce mixed in works a treat.

[@eugenemaguire]

A was on yesterday 15 bream 5 tench 4 scimmers and a whopping F1 good doo.

[@WestysAngling]

Some cracking F1s in there ! Epic day that 🎣🎣

[@chrisdevine2507]

Ps … jolly Green giant … best bait in the world 😂🎣

[@WestysAngling]

Agreed… but I’m tight mate so Morrisons savers 😂

[@MrPstory]

Another great video 👍🏻 One of the local lakes I fish stocked 20+ tench at the end of last year. Caught one on Sunday on method feeder pellet mix and yellow scopex wafter! Good size as well at 7.60lb.

[@WestysAngling]

7lb is an absolutely epic Tench !

[@MrPstory]

@@WestysAngling cheers. They stocked up with 5-7lb tench approximately 20. Also about 20 bream, 3-5lb.

[@WestysAngling]

@@MrPstory sounds like a great fishery 👌🏻🎣

[@MrPstory]

@@WestysAngling not too bad for the price. 9 lakes, miles of the Kennet and Avon canal, some of this can be fished all year round as well. A few miles of the river Kennet as well. Less than £100 per year for single rod permit.

[@geraldhills41]

I would like to see a review on the Browning black magic 8ft carp rod as I've just bought one and can't wait to try it out ! Would like your opinion .

[@tomwalton6661]

Yes I bought a Nash chair and love it, after my Korum failed after 13 months!

[@WestysAngling]

Always quality gear Nash ! Not cheap though 🎣

[@francislee9]

Definitely prefer commentary to silence or music!

[@stewartmk7]

Great session, there is no way I'd be out there in that weather, but well done for sticking it out. I much prefer the static camera, the head one leaves me a bit dizzy 😂. Also, I don't know if it was the camera, but towards the end of the video, I couldn't tell if dad was to your right, or behind you..

[@WestysAngling]

This is actually a really helpful comment Stewart thank you ! I will try to put everyone on less of a head cam roller coaster from now on 😂 maybe just be a little steadier with it 😬🎣

[@stewartmk7]

@@WestysAngling it's good when your sitting down, really good detail on setup etc, it's mainly when you are casting out. I was looking for the splash of the feeder, but sometimes only saw the rod go on the rest. Also, did you see what I meant towards the end of the video, it may have been me, but your dad seemed to be fishing in different places when he was nicking your sweetcorn 😂.

[@WestysAngling]

@@stewartmk7 I do know what you mean ! It’s the fisheye effect of the GoPro, depth of field can be a bit distorted 😂 and yes I cut a lot of the casting and sinking line etc out because otherwise the videos would be hours long ! I will try to make the transitions smoother 👌🏻

[@user-jf9qt3br7d]

hi west's the video love could you tell me how you made that extra leg to support your feeder arm cheers tom.

[@WestysAngling]

In the bottom of that feeder arm there is a standard fishing bolt thread, I then ordered a rod off eBay with the same thread pattern. The bottom of it is a radiator stop valve 😂

[@gregmercer276]

Westy love your videos helped me get a new PB 9½lb I was wondering if you could do a session on maggot feeder I have caught on big bunch of 10-15 maggots and loose feeding but I am sure I use maggot feeder wrong I only ever catch1 or 2 catch lots loose feeding in exactly same spot???

[@WestysAngling]

Depends on time of year Greg! I’m not a huge fan of maggot feeders. I prefer a small cage feeder 💪🏻

I learnt how to fish the ledger on alarms with carp rods bait runner etc. but now 90% of my fishing is method feeder,so do I have the wrong reels with Shimano FS 6000? I have been using bait runner is this completely wrong or is it a personal preference?

[@WestysAngling]

Personal preference ! Definitely no right or wrong way. It’s only tackle company’s selling different reels for different reasons etc etc

The big lodge has the Epic tench in it ! Just not my scene full of dog walkers etc really busy place !

[@gothicgorey]

@@WestysAngling Yeah but by the looks of it the smaller water is more tucked away. I will check it out 👍

[@WestysAngling]

I grew up round that neck of the woods ! The small one is definitely a little more secluded .I don’t think there was ever anything to shout about in the small lodge, I may be wrong though, things could have changed! Bread flake is the killer bait for tench in there 👌🏻 because of all the duck feeding they see it as a natural food 😂

[@DedicatedAngler]

Why aren't you meant to use bait runners when feeder fishing? That's my bread and butter, but I am lazy

[@WestysAngling]

You and me both buddy 😂 god knows…apparently it’s not the ‘done thing’ I have been slated for it on videos in the past 😬😂

[@DedicatedAngler]

@WestysAngling nice one, long as I'm not losing out because of it. I love the scream of my reel over a bite alarm. Plus slamming it into rock and roll with a quarter crank will always feel amazing. Tight lines.

I use my shimano 2500 and 6000 baitrunners for everything, even on my float rod. Got my shimano aero big pits on my spec rods
