I fished Charity Farm 8-10 or so years ago, I found the fish welfare on the large lake a lot to be desired. In fact, my last trip there, they were draining the lake & I was told they had lost a lot of the fish from it. I went to another local water (just up the road) and bagged up, so never been back to Charity Farm. Great video & review again, love your videos, especially as I also fish a lot of these waters. Nice to see someone else’s perspective on waters I fish. 👍🏻👍🏻🎣
Good video. The ugly stick are fantastic rods. I've had carp to over 20lb tope to 23lb but also great bite detection for smaller fish. Keep the videos coming.👍🏻.
I've not been to Charity Farm before but my mate used to fish it regularly. He stopped going a few years ago as it had "gone down hill". Looks like not much has changed. It has definitely saved me from a visit in the near future.
Just happened to be browsing wen this vid caught my attention. This is my local wich I fish every week, my second home. I fished the next peg to you on Saturday and battered them. Them top end pegs usually produce the decent fish if you know the correct method. Ground baits a no no unless u want to catch the small uns. I prefer to go for the carp,bream and the decent size f1s. The fish here battle like he'll and u gota be ready for em shooting under them trees on the island. I fish 2. Metres away from the island with a 20s bomb, nowt else.. hard 4/6m pellets, nowt fancy. Feeding 4s every 5mins, stop feeding and you'll not catch em.you have to constantly be at it with the catty. This place is a brilliant under rated venue coz some anglers don't know how to fish it right.keep it simple and you should bag up.never fancied the south bank pegs tho.
Something not quite right with the waters at chairty Farm. Like you said back in day was the venue to be. I remember a break out years back and all the waters had to be drained and since that it's never been same. Looks like the fishing has taken more of a backseat on the farm. Some fisheries I recommend for great fishing. The cunneries, Hall lane fishery, fir tree farm, Partridge lakes.
I agree with all of those and would recommend all but fir tree, I found the staff to be rude. But definitely good fishing ! Glad you agree with my take on charity farm Adam ! Thanks for commenting buddy 👌🏻👍🏻
Late to the party but I was shocked to see so many fish-fingers coming out of charity. Last time I fished there, the majority of the carp I caught were between 7lb and 10lb with a couple going up to 12-14.
@@WestysAngling the 'top' pond used to be my favourite - great mix of species and a big old tree to fish under. Then came...the stages... all of those bloody stages. I'm feeling nostalgic now. Same for Heskin Hall as well, great places that 'updated' in all the wrong ways. Or rather, went in directions I wasn't keen on - everyone's taste varies.
westy please do another video here on pond 1 myself and my son and now my dad have fished here (me and my dad havent fished for 30 years ish) weve found pond 1 very productive on spam had carp upto 7 lb my friend had a 10+ and ive seen plenty high 10's come out. we love your video's been very helpfull and enyoyable to watch
Have a look at the "Guru Underwater" Vid's on the Tube. It certainly opens ones eyes as to how Method feeders Actually behave!! Great Underwater footage on real venues!! (not fish tanks)
Catching what I would call ‘pike bait.’ Where is your dad? I use a map pin to drill hole in wafter through the end first so wafting vertical instead of horizontal and had better results
Thanks for the vid mate, great watch. Found your vid because i was looking for some advice about the fishery, im planning on going with my mate tomorrow. I use to fish charity a lot about 10-12 years ago but ive not been back since. What lake would you recommend to chuck a feeder about and catch plenty of fish? We're not after massive carp or anything, just want to get out and put a bend in the rod
Id still fish their specimen lake (doughnut lake), you should catch a good few carp if they aren’t spawning. Fish either the far left corner peg near the reeds or the peg in front of the two small lakes about 1ft out from the side really tight in, there is an overflow pipe, the carp like that area 👌🏻🎣 hope that helps ! I haven’t fished it in a while so let me know how you get on !
Winter Method Feeder Bait Test | Tough Session th-cam.com/video/jk5xuGdJLIw/w-d-xo.html - I explain it here but don’t actually demonstrate how to do it ! I will make a video on it for you 👍🏻
those small carp wud be annoying its difficult to get to the bigger fish...if theres huge numbers of em...but you had a go and its about catching ...so its gotta be better than blanking...nice one guys...looking forward to ya fishing for big perch if ya get around to it! tight lines.....
I think it’s absolutely infested with them ! Was very frustrating I’d of never have got through to the better fish. But like you say not a blank ! Oh definitely some perch fishing coming up over the next few weeks ! Just for you buddy 👌🏻 whether they end up being big perch is another story 😂
Those small carp need netting out to give the bigger fish a chance to grow on. Put the small fish in another pool and feed them, they'll be the bigger stock for the future.

This is the second time you've delayed me getting out onto the bank for my Sunday session 😆😆
Haha ! Sorry Ryan ! Actual fishing before westysangling always ! Hope you catch mate 👌🏻
Cheers mate. Torn between the Ribble or Wrightington today. Packed for both so will decide when I get on the M6.
I’m stocking up on feeders for some ribble fishing this year. Probably be fishing well after the recent rain.
Levels have been yo-yoing with the recent rain but it's still low compared to the average. Fingers crossed 🤞

Yes there are definitely a list of fisheries I’d rather visit !
A week to work Westy then a week off. I will be trying this one out for deff. Great vid and love the rating/recommendation features. 👍
Great video! You’re explanations of what you’re doing are really helpful as well.

Fished matches on all of them apart from Fir Tree and good.

It used to be really good mate ! A bit of an update but I think he has netted it now so it may be alright !

Wow buddy ..plaqued by tiny carp ….good vid tho … cheers Chris & Sam
Yes it was heaving with them ! Thanks to you both ☺️

I had to laugh. The only thing I can get those spikes into is my finger😅
Bait spikes are hard work 😂

I'll let you know tomorrow evening how it was 👊
You two need to try Dunham Massey fisheries out … 👌
Will do ! 💪🏻
I see you have a caperlan chair. What do you reckon on that brand? Been looking at their poles , as they look great value.
Seems Decent quality stuff mate from my experience!
Where is the vid where you use the lighter on the feeder stem to make the quick change stem fit better . I can’t find it 🤷♂️👌

Won’t be going there in a hurry 😂

@@WestysAngling looking forward to that one..i target the bigger ones on prawn on a local pond near me had em to 2 plus but nowt bigger yet..........
@@rockdogization apparently they go to 3lb + in high heyes near us . They get caught on worm and maggot

Agreed 👌🏻👍🏻 thanks for commenting !
The lake environments look like they are suffering from neglect.
Seemed that way Len !
Give the carp a few years to put on weight it maybe worth a return visit, better look next time with the ugly stick.
I agree Keith! Yes the ugly stick will be back 😂👍🏻
Fished it once many years ago ...
Shithole ..
Never been back....
