Great news with the new job 👏 good luck for 2023. I'm sure we will all be here following your new endeavours tight lines westy
Just found the videos Westy and, for a novice like me, they are great! Thank you.
Thanks Tim ! Glad they are helpful 🎣 hope they help you catch a few 👌🏻👍🏻
best of luck on the new job andy well deserved!! tight lines
Great video, very informative. As you say some days it doesn’t happen.
Heyup Westy,glad my wellies and socks advice worked to keep your feet warm.😆
Toasty feet now Stan 👍🏻♨️
You deserve a medal ! Good Luck for the new job.
I’d of settled for a fish 😂☔️
@@WestysAngling I'd have stayed at home !
went yesterday to a local hole , same sort of weather spicy krill aways sees me for a good day in winter :)
I need to get back on the bank. But definitely not in this sort of weather 😂. Having a WestysAngling hat would be great for fishing the colder months 🥶
Thanks for another great video.... pink washed out wafters do work.
My favourite bait 💯 %
Braver man than me Westy!
Awful weather that.
I'd stick to bread and a bit of swimstim cool water mix for carp.
You have got to try these things I guess.
Saying that I wouldn't have been out in that ! 🤣🤣
Happy new year, congratulations on the new job! 👍
That’s what I normally do Lee ! But got to mix it up a bit for TH-cam , try new things 😂 thanks buddy ! Happy new year to you too !
Thanks for another great video,very informative as usual. Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you ! 🎣 I wish you a successful 2023 fishing 👍🏻👌🏻
I have borrowed some of my wife's washing pegs to reseal my ground bait / pellet bags !
I'm only a beginner to carp fishing but judging by my pond fish they become lethargic in winter, not interested in food and I was advised to stop feeding altogether in the winter months. In this video you are hoping to catch carp in low water temperatures. The fish are there, same as height of summer, but probably not interested in feeding. I will probably not bother targetting winter carp but will probably go for winter river fishing for dace and perhaps pike. Love watching your videos and have learned a lot! 👍
Thank you ! I am glad you are enjoying them. They do become lethargic but they definitely don’t stop feeding, it’s certainly a challenge in the winter months, you need to find the deepest parts of the lake 🎣 you can usually pick up a couple of fish in a session.
Another great video ,Fishing was really tough on this one glad you got out there, got out last week wet cold but I did catch only bream but Im not complaining oh and pink washed out wafters do work glad I took your advice,keep up the good work,and Happy New Year
Yes Martin ! He has got onto the pink washed out ! The very best bait, no doubt 😂 thanks for commenting buddy ! Well done on managing a few. Anything is welcome at this time of year !
GREAT VID MATE KEEP GOING SO ENVY YOU BEING ABLE TO FISH WITH YOUR DAD
Thanks Dave ! At least you can follow us on the sessions 🎣
@@WestysAngling Cheers mate I will do
Great vid, it’s winter and we all blank at this time of year especially with the cold spell we just had , marine halibut is a brilliant groundbait but I always mix with other groundbait , usually green or a sweet groundbait in winter , more sweet in winter . Nothing worse than feeling like crap and trying to fish , well done for soldiering on for our entertainment, great tip with the putty , get well soon bud and congratulations on new job 🎣🎣
I agree completely with you on the sweet groundbait! It’s my go to year round ! Thanks for commenting 👌🏻👍🏻🎣
i bought some new baits to try when its a bit warmer in a few weeks hopefully, love to watch your vids as always m8 keep it up !@ And congrats with the new job
Thank you Barry ! Let me know if you have any success with what you have bought ! 👌🏻
Great video
Me and my friend have had great success on the Marine halibut. It is awesome method feeder bait.
I bet it is a very effective bait !
Got a set of those feeders- cheap feeders what’s not to like for a Yorkshireman? Good tip!
Quick change link is as you say a bit loose and I’d no lead putty but found that if I squeezed the plastic stem with my artery forceps it closed up enough to tighten the fit.
Hope the colds cleared. Take care mate.
That’s Awesome Bob ! Yes they aren’t bad, I’m a cheapo as well mate 😂 nothing wrong with saving a few quid 💷 thanks for watching !
Nice video I always use this ground bait when feeder fishing
I usually prefer a sweet groundbait 👌🏻👍🏻
Another great video - Happy New Year by the way. As someone has already commented, that groundbait is great in the warmer months, but I shy away from it in colder water conditions (not that it affected your result in this video, the weather etc was definitely against you, & fish still very lethargic after the freeze we’ve just had). One other thing to try, I notice you use banded hook lengths for your wafter fishing. I find that spikes/screws are more effective with wafters (especially using 8mm & bigger). I think the weight of the spike/screw helps the wafter sit better/balance the wafter effect. You can test it in some water at home. It’s only a small change, but as you know, these small changes can have a big difference in your catch rate. Congrats & Good Luck with your new job, & although it may mean fewer videos for us, I hope you enjoy your new position. 👍🏻🎣
Happy new year Ken ! Hope you are well ! I agree about the groundbait! The fish have only just started to come round this week. I have managed a few this week 😂🎣 Thank you 😀
Fishing is been really tough up this end recently everyone struggling round here
Even a few small ponds and lakes of dead fish put the weather also been told that’s why
I have pinned this comment so people know it’s not just me that hasn’t been doing well 😂😂
Fair play to you mate,was going to my local this Saturday but put me right off now😔👍
Don’t let it put you off mate ! Give it a go you may be surprised 🎣
Another great video. I’m just getting back into fishing and these videos are great for reference, shame about the blank.
Thanks Simon ! It is what it is ! It happens especially after ice 👌🏻
Good video really enjoyed it. Its hard down south as well
Good to know that it’s not just our end that’s suffering 😂
another great video, me and the daughter blanked at weekend as well
Thank you ! It’s the way it goes sometimes it’s been tough since the ice , hope you manage a few the next time you go out 👌🏻👍🏻 it’s partly why I post the videos when I blank so the young’uns coming into fishing realise you can’t catch every time you go out !
Great video as always keep up the good work! I'm off out for first session of new year tommorow and I've also got this groundbait to try and also the 2mm pellets to go with! Hopefully have some success, usually do quite well at the venue where I'm going tommorow so see if this has any different effect! Tight lines
Hope you have more success than I did in this video mate 😂 tight lines !
Unlucky pal, terrible conditions today. The westys hats are top quality someones gonna get lucky and the marine halibut groundbait is one of my goto mixes especially in summer, during winter i prefer one with less feed particles tho.
Toughed it out whilst being ill, all credit to ya !
I should have gone to German lane with you mate 😂 I agree with you on the groundbait 👌🏻👍🏻 thanks Ste
Great videos pal👍
Thank you mate !
If you see topping carp ,fish to that spot they are often in that vicinity.
This is very true !
Well done Westy for sticking it out weather conditions against you today but but you tried. Ground bait looked good though containing some particles perhaps try it again sometime when weather warms up a bit .Hope you get better soon thanks for the video John
I agree ! I definitely will be doing 👌🏻👍🏻 thanks for commenting John !
Great vid westy thanks for uploading despite the blank I wear two pairs of socks aswell in my wellies one of those pairs is knitted wool keep me toes warm at least I’ve not caught anything for a while but great vid west
You are welcome mate ! Keep at it buddy ! Just the time of year !
@@WestysAngling I know how you fell that’s what it is like every session in london no matter what time of year until you get lucky and find yourself reeling in a 25 lb common. Any way better get back to the English homework.😂😂😂😂
Keep at it m8 and get well soon💪🏻
Thank you !
I’d avoid fishy oily groundbait in winter as it isn’t as active or have the same leakage as summer. 😊👍
Probably right with this Barry ! I usually prefer a low feed groundbait in winter 👌🏻👍🏻🎣
Banging little pond Harry’s! If I see you down there I will bob over for a chat 👍 keep up the videos your doing really well
It really is mate ! Thanks Jack !
The problem I find with Halibut pellets and groundbaits is that when the water is cold the oil doesn't dissolve.
In the winter I use micro pellets mixed with a drop of sardine oil.(I also add a drop when I use a chumbag sea fishing from my boat)
I am still waiting on an invite out sea fishing in your boat Stan ! ⛴️ haha I agree with you about the oils, I usually use a sweet low feed groundbait in winter ❄️
@@WestysAngling I've taken both seats out of the boat to stop them deteriorating outside.When the weather gets better I'll stick them back in.I'll send you an invite later in the year.It's 14ft open speed boat that I've customised for sea fishing.
Good one. Hard core. I’m happy say watching but enjoyable vid. Ps. I get cold feet. I use feet warmer so good
Thanks Paul ! Was a bloody rough day that one 😂
I fish harrys as often as i can allways have a look if your on hopefully meet up one day but ive found the best time to fish on here is in the wind and heavy rain never had much in the better weather sadly,great vid as allways and hoping for a beanie hat lol ill keep trying until i get one 👍
You’re very right with this !! Never been and blanked like this on Harry’s though 😂
Another really good video. I'm not a great fan of predator fishing, much prefer method or float, but each to their own. I'm afraid to say that I'm a fair weather angler as I've got nowhere at home to dry things out, and being a gardener, get fed up of being cold & wet this time of year. Hope you feel better soon.
I must admit I’m not sold on the predator fishing yet ! Like you I prefer conventional coarse fishing 👌🏻👍🏻
andy a rub of light sandpaper wud tone down the shiney feeders ! they are great value!!
Absolutely Awesome idea this Alan ! Thank you, I will do that.
Have you tried a float stop about 6 inches above the feeder, stops the feeder running to the rod tip, and makes a surprise for any fish mouthing the bait!
Awesome idea Bill ! I will give that a go !
That's why it's called fishing not catching valient effort m8..... Happy New yr
Thanks for the support Paul ! Hopefully this mild spell brings them back on the feed👌🏻👍🏻
You've had some rough weather lately mate. Good on you for persevering! Congratulations on the new job. Hope it goes well. I'm off to Wrightington this weekend- hoping it's a bit drier!!! I'll be using the new bait bucket I got for Christmas, same as the I've you have. Video Shared btw
I definitely haven’t had much luck on the weather on my days off 😂 thank you for sharing the video ! I will put you in the draw for a hat 👌🏻 they are cracking bait buckets my dad has recently got one too !
@@WestysAngling you should get yourself a heated gillet from Amazon to help combat the cold. I got one a few weeks ago. There brilliant. Runs off a usb powerbank and really help to keep the cold at bay.
I have just done the Draw for this video ! You are the winner, Please pop me an email to - westysangling@gmail.com to Claim it 👌🏻🎣👒
Hi, made up I've won the prize!!! Thank you! I've the just tried emailing the email address you sent and it's bouncing back????
It shouldn’t do -

You should go and fish charity farm for a video for winter
I've recently found your channel and I'm enjoying working my way through your videos. I don't do any river fishing these days but when I did I found the Marine Halibut range of ground baits and pellets very good for barbel and chub. I must say I'm interested in the rod holdall you have, can you let me know what make it is please. Cheers.
Hi Richard ! That’s great news ! Yes it’s a Preston innovations supra 6 rod holdall 195cm 🎣
@@WestysAngling thanks for letting me know. I'll have a look for one as I also end up carrying a large number of rods and currently have them in single or double holdalls.
Do you ever feel that in hand balling the ground bait onto the feeder that your effecting the CoG of the feeder and that when it lands on the bottom its upside down, i always have this fear. Thanks great channel btw.
Thanks Roger ! No I don’t think so buddy, my honest opinion is that a lot of it comes off and out when it hits the water anyway ! That’s why I pack the first part in tight so I’m confident there is at least some feed near the hookbait !
More catfish videos in the summer please 😀
Definitely!! Looking forward to it 👌🏻🎣🐱
fishing in ireland is at a standstill everywhere is under water and its still raining!😡
Bloody hell Alan ! Not good, I hope it dries up soon for you!
Hi, what type of shelter do you use ? good video
Korum Pentalite Brolly shelter 🎣☔️

It’s a good one 👌🏻
Those banjo feeders are no longer available on ebay
Pity !
What make is your rod pod?
I think it’s just one I got off eBay years ago mate, it’s unbranded
What’s the make of the rod holdall
Preston innovations supra 195 cm 👌🏻
Why don't ya try Molly's fishery in Abram wigan.good fishing
It’s on my list Ray ! It’s tough to get to all these recommended fisheries when I’m only off work one day a week 😂😂 I wish I could fish them all!
I had blank recently at high heyes . Well I caught covid / flu.😂
I am getting on the grounded bread with some cheeky Garam masala believe it or not .
Are fishing Adam or making Naan breads 😂
@@WestysAngling 😂😂😂 I kid you not it works especially for attracting perch. Roll up little breaded balls and burst into clouds .
I may give that a try Adam !
hello,i eat peannuts and watch,thx for video!
Enjoy your peanuts ! 🥜
Hi pal We have trying to catch you at Harry’s when are you thinking of going again would like to have a chat
Hi Gary ! Probably not until it warms up a touch now, I will let you know when I’m next planning a trip !
@@WestysAngling ok it’s nothing bad just want a chat it may be of intrest to you
No problem at all ! Feel free to pop me an email at westysangling@gmail.com
Get yourself a heated vest m8 runs off a power pack. I hate the cold 🥶
I’m not too bad if it’s just cold, it’s when it’s wet and cold that I suffer 😂 I have seen those vests though they look great
@@WestysAngling I couldnt do without mine. Also..a little help, that g.bait, no good in winter, too much oil.. Hope you feel better soon. Look forward to next vid. Good luck in new job
Thanks for the interesting vid in difficult circumstances. Watch your health. You might need a day or two in bed like your dad. The fish will still be there.
Can I ask what’s the Rod bag? I bought one the will take 11ft but not 12 ft rods.
Thanks Bob ! Preston innovations supra 195cm 6 rod holdall. The 195cm fits the 12ft, they do different lengths 👌🏻🎣
