Wasp grub.... Amazing for chub and Dace on the river..... Painful to collect and your right Andy used to use cimag or ant powder to kill the wasps then dig the grub filled cake 👍

[@TheSudsy]

and mix the cake into your groundbait !!

[@stevenashleyparker5592]

I can remember fishing Woodlands at thirsk 20 years ago. Fishing pellets only. The fishing was amazing

[@ryanbrown5997]

Really loving these videos. And on Mr hughe's final point. me and my brother went a couple weeks ago, 4 hour session, a tin of meat, corn and nothing else. we caught over 100lb of carp between us in 3 fish each on the pole in the margin. Very happy for less than £5 on bait.

[@alanoliver5378]

I only pleasure fish now, and not very often at that, but the bit about the amount of bait, I went to a commercial two weeks ago, had a good day well over 100lb, 7 different species, potting in maggots with a few damp micros to pack them down (cos I'm rubbish at shipping out) after the session, I was at my car, a couple of lads came over and we chatted about what I was doing, in that conversation one of thementioned KZbin vids, and said and I quote "how can you use 2 or 3 pints of maggots" I said I've used 3 today son, the look on he's face 🤣 then I explained about fish numbers, and potting in every cast, its nice to pass on info face to face, well done lads another good vid, being almost 60 now I have memories of everything you mentioned, woodlands hemp and prawns (for one season) had the fish standing on there heads accross to the islands😂 best wishes.

Pellets have spoiled so many good days fishing. . Plus it also causes a lot local tackle shops to shut . As most fisheries say can only have there pellets. Sorry but I think pellets have spoiled fishing.

[@markwaterman8845]

You are correct. But and here is the but ..there is a time and a place for the bait that does the business....having said that ... worms and casters in the summer in deep water when the carp are very moooody ..big silvers will gey you a good wieght ..it might not be a match winning (world champion wieght ) how ever ..a good wieght ..if you fish correctly and not fish st 13 mtrs ...or 16 mtrs...some times even a waggler at distance on a commercial..will produce .... and its really funny when it does....

[@jonsheard8749]

Great discussion chaps and great comments from others too. On commercials I never feed heavy and do ok……..tend to fish pellet most times.

[@graemesmith8509]

When i 1st started fishing some 40years ago, hemp n tare was the go to bait

[@leegill9767]

I fished next to a fela last week 4 6 mm pellets an I was getting one a chuck f1s. A pound to three pound an he fished hemp an a muscle on the huck an smashed me up with 12 to 15 pounders lol

[@castawayfishing9709]

Another top class video and great advise as always fellas! The knowledge you lads have is insane and really honest and true. Hats off to you chaps! 👍🏼🎣

[@nicknewman4027]

What an insightful conversation and eye opening points for serious consideration. Great stuff again guys

[@PhilC74]

Best video you've done in a long time that guys. Not that your others arnt brilliant anyway! Just the honesty and insight into baits, feeding and filling it in / bait limits. Very very interesting. Thanks for being so honest and the info shared. Its difficult for some of us to know the right way to go about things and trying a different method / bait / location to fish has always crossed my mind but I've always questioned myself especially if I dont frame and wondered if people look at me and say , "hmmm he's not gonna get anywhere doing that!!" I still stray from the norm when match fishing as i do believe that change is needed to catch. Thanks Andy , Richard and Jaime. Top vid. Keep the coming boys 👍👍👍🎣🎣

[@paulAnthony7236]

We used to fish shallow with a pile and a matchstick with a float rubber 6 to 10in in the 80s and hammer the roach and Rudd out.

[@ihcfn]

Agree with your thought on baits, have caught on the carp gear in a foot of water with a handful of pellets and meat on the hook. But, also caught on the same water with match gear fishing long, on the method feeder with groundbait and a wafter, depends on the day.

[@WoolavyLeeWilliams]

Water Pistols were used to good effect years ago down here at Viaduct. I still use cheese, especially in winter for dobbing, either grated bits or Brie rubbed onto bread before punching. Whizzo purple haze, awesome.

[@davidfarmery4577]

Nice to hear you thought and you rants trends are thing that come and go and you are on the day or missed it Pellets are good and bad that get fished and sume people try to fill the ponds in with them .keep us thinking and fishing the right way allways good to hear your thoughts fish well thight lines

[@JeffOrtega33]

Another great cast gents keep em coming. weirdest trend I ever heard of steak strips on the river Trent

[@stephenarmstrong6620]

Love these chats from the lads 👍👍

[@joshuahague9140]

I don't match fish but the stuff u 2 say is spot on love these shows brilliant lads

[@bloomerdavid2046]

Interesting in discussion on pellets, just back after many years away but 12+ years ago I lived around the corner from Makins near Nuneaton and they were almost totally pellet even then, problem was the fishery pellet was only the Swimstim Green ones due to their sponsorship deal and everytime you fished there it took a day to get the colour out of your hands... My fishing towel never lost its greeny tinge...

[@daveherbert2773]

I only match fish with a pellet waggler old school . I ground bait it up first thing and maggets and bread all day bag up on silver fish and catch carp later on .keep up the good work ppl 🙌

[@TerepXaset]

I used trout pellets 40 odd years ago as a feed, always attracted more fish. Made it into a paste, brilliant for Crucians.

[@pedrobandino5391]

Good chat, I fished Hemp/corn and paste over top two weeks ago, had a good match

[@leafysfishing]

I still like to fish double corn on big carp lakes.. people fish boilies but I like corn and pellet .. corn over the top of pellet .. always done well.

[@oldgamer1299]

Wasp grub on the Trent was a killer

[@mickyjohnson9397]

Great video on trends 👍🏻 I read the match reports on my local venue and it’s different on every match. People win on different baits weekly sometimes its pellets or maggots then other days meat now the latest trend is paste fishing 🎣 when I fished the matches at tunnel I was told certain baits to use and they didn’t work on the day. I think fishery pellets have spoiled fishing in general and I think the fish get board of them which makes it harder to catch. Keep the videos coming lads 👍🏻🎣👍🏻🎣👍🏻

[@stevetaylor6143]

I had a great session using Red Leicester cheese the other week on a local club water in Sheffield.

[@winningwaysextra]

Awesome! 🧀

[@DavidSmith-jm3xr]

I used to fly fish with my dad when i was young. About 13-14, anyways one week i caught the biggest trout in the lake a 14lb 7oz rainbow on a marabou bloodworm fly. The next week we popped into tackle shop on the site and the owner was telling us how hed sold out 3 times in a week of the marabou bloodworm flys. Said hed made about £200 just off those flies alone 🤣

[@richardsimpson2599]

I think the same goes for tackle as well !!

[@NickWinwood84]

Great Video Guys! love CarpGeek xoxo

[@johndingwall1210]

Black eyed beans is an old skool carp bait . Think it was the late Rod Hutchinson that first used them or publicised them .

[@xxguchexx]

Great video this👍 could listen to yous all night

[@davidsykes3081]

I keep trying to fish like you two in our club matches and getting beaten up by old boys with chick peas on margin poles. 2 tins less than a quid (until recently).

[@neilstanley7693]

Floating pole was the trend at our local fishery until like most things it was band lol 🤣

[@heyitsme6083]

What do think would happen. If there was no pellet matches our pellets were suddenly not aloud on some big fisheries

[@geoffreystockton7639]

Cymax for taking wasps nest but good alternative is ant powder

[@davidlee8999]

we used to use mole bombs to get the wasp grubs cracking chub bait

[@stoikes]

The amount of bait is a massive point to consider. It is crazy that people take so much bait to matches. I fished Todber opena few weeks ago. There were three guys who, suspiciously, drew 3 pegs next to each other. They literally brought a dustbin of maggots with them between the three. What the feck is that all about?

[@apassionfortangling3671]

I had a septic finger in one match so I wore a rubber glove on one hand. I won the match with 84lb something on the method tight to an island at about 25 yds, the rubber glove was such a pain, it got wrapped around everything, I reckon it cost me another 20lb of fish. Anyway the next week, in car park there were rubber gloves, on the way to the lake, rubber gloves, rubber gloves up a tree, rubber gloves in the water. To the other anglers it was the rubber glove that won the match, nothing to do with hitting the same spot 9 times out of 10 🤣😂

[@simon27101]

I want a day fishing with Daddy May - he sounds awesome!

[@martinsturman1300]

What's your thoughts on fisherie own feed pellets???? Yes we all have to buy them if ya want to fish pellet but how different are they from all the big brand (dynamite, sonu, mainline sensas etc....) companies? or is this purely a money making spin for the fisherie your fishing at 🤔🤔

[@pleasantville4529]

I wouldn't say pellets ruined match fishing. I'd blame the massive amount of carp that dominate most match catches. It' still takes a huge amount of skill to win and in no way am i putting down today's great commercial anglers. However, I would rather win a match with 2lb of small roach than 100lb of carp. Just my opinion.

[@davdgodier9881]

Hemp and frozen blueberries had a great day some thing different

[@kevshouse2]

I hair rig kidney beans....carp love em

[@jasonsuter13]

In a way I sort of, disagree with buying baits to win a match,club fishing on a bream lake(not commercial, this is why I say( "sort of disagree" ) a guy bought a kilo of worm, couple of pints casters, groundbaits, won most matches but was always down on £s as the bait cost out weighed the winnings and nobody else spent that much on bait as was pointless,🤷‍♂️maybe he was just good at it😆🎣👍

[@adamn9660]

If you subscribe to winning ways can you download videos and watch them without internet ie on a plane in the airport etc

[@leebanks1]

I use to fish a day ticket water in Cheshire where I caught loads of carp on chickpeas.

[@gifkop4]

You talk about trends on a commercial fishing pool

[@MsPeterboy]

How would jamie or Andy approach a commercial venue bait and peg wise.they have never fished..

[@connorscoarsefishingjourne7680]

Just come home from my evening match on my club water, paste wins all the time and one lad is mega on paste and wins a lot where I’m useless on paste. Can’t stand it. I frame and win doing what I do pellet shallow deck and maggot/worm over groundbait short or edge. Everyone fished paste tonight and managed 93lb fishing to my strengths for 2nd again,

[@alph4serpent]

With bait limits, heard a story where a top angler got 9 pints of meat in a 3 pint bait box.

[@davep6286]

There a story about corn being the in bait, but limited to three tins per five hour match. One team had there 16m ext full of corn, they all came top two in there sections 😱😱😂

[@paulAnthony7236]

Most fish are fed with pellets at stock farms they see it as natural foods.

[@scottpardoe6349]

I'm gonna use my secret weapon when the fishing is tough gets my cage rattled. If it was that good it would be used every session. It simply backs up what Jamie says. It's different and fish are inquisitive things.

[@michaelbooth2333]

Trends weather its bait or the methods used to catch fish are a minefield it fay's my brain. I don't take any notice of any of it personally I think a lot of it is to get you to spend money. I always fish things I've used before and confident that they will catch me fish.

[@michaelbottomley2520]

Wasp grub Was good years ago

[@christopherorrell1]

Theres a guy who fishes at keith owens place that fishes with bananas in the opens
