Suffered for awhile now with mental health, just decided to get back fishing after 20 odd years. Your videos are great mate very helpful. Do me good get some fresh air
Nice interesting video at Coppull mill, just a few miles from my home. I've caught some nice tench and carp there when I was much younger. It's quite a deep lodge.
Bang on Westy! Carp ain't the be all end all. Just get yer self out there, river, canal, lake, pond & have a go. Nowt better than just catching fish, for your mind & soul👏🐟🪱🎣👍
@@WestysAngling Serious , mate, they'd put a glass eye to sleep. Touching on mental health issues, I've suffered since I was in my teens, I'm 62 now & started working on conservation projects 15 years ago. With my passion for fishing & bird watching, life changer. Keep spreading the word 🐟🪱🎣👍
Another cracking video. I only took up course fishing 12 months ago and I love it. Not many women do but I really enjoy a days fishing and I am retired so it's my main hobby. Have learnt so much from your videos and am catching more than my partner now. We are off up to North Wales for a week so the tackle is loaded up in the car. Many thanks for your enjoyable videos because they have certainly inspired me to keep at it and enjoy being outdoors. X.
No you’re right most women hate fishing and I’m not fully sure of the reason. It’s actually brilliant you catch more than him after watching the videos 😂 I love that . Have a great trip !
hi mat ..a mixed bag there buddy ..and an unexpected sturgeon..lovely fish...looking forward to youre northern challenge tight lines mat....keeping it real...
Ive watched you everyday for the past 2 weeks, thoroughly enjoying your videos. Lots of helpful tips for the likes of me, a beginner. Caught my first catfish last week! What a thrill. Tight lines westy!
Mate class video! Awesome suprise catch that! Could tell ypu were buzzing 😂 Nice to see the reel you recommended in action too! I went with the 4000 and cant wait to use it next week, looking forward to the rod race! Well done man!
Nice to see a change of tactics.......however, the carp angler mind-set will always prevail when you can hear them in feeding mode 🤣 Another top vid buddy 🎣🐟👌
The lake I fish, the silvers can get huge as they don’t get fished for (mostly carp anglers) so I always take my float rod to pass the time while I wait for the carp rod to go
If you go to a new water, do you take as much as you can or do you decide before how you are going to fish i.e. feeder chair set up or rod pod set up etc as obviously all swims and waters different.
I usually get my stuff ready In advance and decide what session I’m filming before I go ! But I think this is sometimes my downfall as it may not be the right way to fish on the day
Nice video Westy, I think it's good to have a change from the norm, been looking for those long beads for feeder but can't find any... What brand are those you're using mate... Thanks 🎣🎣
Why anglers use much longer hook length when using cage feeder ? What’s the logic behind it, I’ve always wondered. Longer hook length mean that the hook bait will be far away from the free groundbait right ?
I think the logic is that silver fish hang away from the feeder or that the cage feeder creates a larger spread of bait. Different to the method feeder or carp rigs.

I enjoy watching Westy doing something other than carp fishing with a method feeder. Variety is the spice of life.
Nice one Westy. I've not done coarse fishing for about 15 years, but you've inspired me to join my local club and start fishing again. 👍
Well done Westy another Great video 👍👍👍

I’m glad you agree 💪🏻 some people take it far too serious!

Great message about getting out , very good for physical and mental health, loved this 🎣🎣🎣
Great message at the end about getting out. So good to switch off for a few hours! True Northerner as well, shorts in that weather 😂

Amazing mate !! Keep it up 💪🏻🎣
Since covid I've made myself go outdoors more and fish every week or anytime I can get on the bank, keep up the good work pal.
💪🏻💪🏻 good man I love that !
Yes westy it was 5.2lb 3month back when I caught it. Keep it up mate
Mate class video! Awesome suprise catch that! Could tell ypu were buzzing 😂 Nice to see the reel you recommended in action too! I went with the 4000 and cant wait to use it next week, looking forward to the rod race! Well done man!
Nice to see you having a go at something a bit different
Enjoyed watching your video this morning:)
Great fishing at my local westy can’t wait for more
Love it mate
I was on that peg a few days ago had a load of bream towards the right on the tree line and a tench
I believe there sent many tench in, was it a decent size ?
@@WestysAngling it was a decent size they like the worms on there the tench
Nice to see a change of tactics.......however, the carp angler mind-set will always prevail when you can hear them in feeding mode 🤣
Another top vid buddy 🎣🐟👌
So true that Rob… heard them crashing and couldn’t control myself 😂
Love it . Just a question Westy. What size landing net Handle and Meg do you use in the vids. Just wondering 👍😁
I’m honestly not sure this landing net handle was donated too me and it’s the best I have had ! It’s old but strong 😂
I was only wondering because I have wide ones with 3mt handle but it’s getting a bit heavy for me when wet. Yours look easier and not deep 👍
Thanks Westy . Keep going 👍👏

Great way of doing things Sam !

Brilliant m8
Great stuff Matt! Was that the Guru Feeder Pro that you were using? If so, what oz tip?
Yes mate it was ! 1.5 oz 👌🏻
Do you have a link for the elongated bolt bead please m8.

Nice video Westy, I think it's good to have a change from the norm, been looking for those long beads for feeder but can't find any... What brand are those you're using mate... Thanks 🎣🎣
Korum bolt bead they are called, for method feeders normally. The running beads are on my website also 👍🏻
I know it was last year but can you tell me what was the make of your wearable sleeping bag ?
I can’t find them online anymore. Maybe the company stopped trading. You can buy mine if you want 😂 send me a message on social media or email
What's the parking like for getting close to the car Westy? I can't walk far.
Accessible for you here Stan ! 👌🏻
@@WestysAngling Nice one Westy,keep the vids coming.
even though I’m a catfisherman through and through I’ve got to get one of these sturgeon
They don’t fight as hard as cats but a very cool fish 🎣
what is that elongated bolt bead ? how s it made up ? cant find any reference of them

@@WestysAngling got ya thanks 🙏
Anytime you pour a coffee or want a sandwich the rod tip goes round 🙂
Fact ! 🎣
Great fish that Sturgeon m8. Have you any idea how many Sturgeon are in that venue?
Only a couple I believe
better than a hybrid feeder ? why use one and not the other ?
What Rod, reel, line and hook length you using
If you watch the video Andrew I do I go through this 👍🏻
I thought it was beluga sturgeon that caviar came from mate
Probably a few kinds !
Love it . Just a question Westy. What size landing net Handle and net do you use in the vids. Just wondering 👍😁
