- You Won't Believe What Happened When We Moved Peg! Beacon View Lake | Fishery Reviews
Fishery Address- Back Ln, Appley Bridge, Wigan WN6 9LE
Welcome back to another fishery review ! Today me and my dad are at beacon view fishery in Apply Bridge - Wigan, fishing with banjo feeders.
We once fished this venue often when I was a young lad, but haven't fished it in years so we thought we would give it another go.
I am glad we did , what an epic session ! Make sure you watch till the end.
Enjoy the video!
*** info update ** Spoke to Sue, the new owner, there is a problem with the rules on a board by the lake entry which she cannot currently get fixed. Basically rules are:-
No cheese, bread, floating baits. Meat and Boilies are fine as hook baits. So are method feeders, you can use pellets/ groundbait. There is an old website for the fishery which new owners suggest should be ignored and they cannot get rid of it.
The new owners do have a Facebook page and will post their rules on that pinned to the top of possible. Sue will also put a reply to the Google Maps review stating the rules.
They used to have an absolutely massive dog as well. Fell asleep there once and woke up to what I thought was a lion lying between me and my mate😂.
Yes they did I remember now!
@@WestysAngling pretty sure that's why there's a no meat rule. That thing would come over and help itself and you literally couldn't do anything but say 'please sir, take some more'.
😂😂 I remember the old boy coming round, I told him I wanted to catch one of the sturgeon. He said ‘get some worms in’t margin you will get the buggers’
@@WestysAngling didn't he used to play the bagpipes too? I heard tell that he used to play them in a morning. I mean, it's bad enough catching sturgeon in Appley Bridge but imagine landing one with that as background music!
Those anglers encroaching into your dad's swim did you a favour. You did the right thing. There are 3m anglers in the UK so you are always going to run into those who don't abide by the fishery rules and are un gentlemanly Conduct. Great video. Look forward to your next. Ps, those 8mm pink wafters have the fish queuing up to get caught at my local venue!
That’s very true Peter! Pink wafters are a miracle bait ! Had so so so much success on them at so many venues. I’m glad my followers have caught on them too.
sometimes a move ..intentionaly or otherwise ..brings a brilliant days fishing!!...a great watch!..mat ..tight lines to you and ya dad...
What an epic session for you and your dad,as you said those guy,s casting into your dads swim done a favour some absolutely cracking fish caught by you and your dad looks a cracking fishery keep up the good work.
Pellett waggler , there from mid morning westy . Well done thanks pal .
Yes I bet that method would work great! 🎣
Great video mate, the banter between you and your dad and catching fish, very entertaining, keep it up fella 👍
55:57 - makes a nice change !
just got back into fresh water fishing after a 35 yr gap and enjoy watching your videos on method feeders well explained .will defo be using them nxt time i go
I'll have a watch later on 👍.
We'll done guy's looks there , cant wait to back to uk next week to get some fishing done my self
Cracking fishes mate.well done to you and your dad..wicked shesh mate👍
Quality session fellas
Fantastic session 👌👌
Best advice you gave me by upping my main line & hooklines👌
Some klonkers there pal for you both 🎣🎣🎣
My Dad used to fish with 4lb mainline, he must have got broke at least once a session but genuinely believed that fish wouldn’t take a bait if it was thicker line … he is now using 10lb line and losing a LOT less fish !
Great video, keep them coming, give that drumnersdale ago on the pit to the right, good carp and chubb in there
It’s on the list David ! 👌🏻🎣
Great video with your father
I started setting up @ home and i set up so much quicker
thred line through eyes with feeder stem attached just attach baited hook and appropriate feeder and am away...
Definitely easier having everything ready to go !
Thanks for showing more of the local fisheries. Hadn't heard of this one. Will look to pay it a visit.
No problem Stu!
@@WestysAngling Paid a visit here this week.. Managed to hook a couple of carp. Along with a tench and several skimmers. What a cracking fishery. Owner's couldn't have been more helpful.. Toilet facilities. Food delivered to the peg. Great fish stocks in the lake. What's not to like... Stunning water.
Pellets are a good option bait. As that's what the owner's feed to them every night.. Just bang a bucket with a ladel and the fish congregate.. Amazing never seen anything like it...😀
What a great day Stu ! I’m glad you had. Good day there 🎣
Looks a nice place this .
Nice mate lovely watch as always 🫶🏻💪🏻🤝🏻
Cheers Brother 👍🏻🎣
Awesome session. Thanks for the tip off. I will add this one onto the tour as per your suggestion.
Brilliant 🤩
Awesome 😄 I’m quiet interested to know how you get on with this tour and what you catch Nick !
@@WestysAngling i usually post reviews on google maps which is what I did on an earlier Lancashire tour starting at Oakfield fishery Leyland, Limbrick Chorley, and Harry’s at Adlington. I will keep you posted on this tour. My club Rochdale Walton Angling Society is also a venue part of this upcoming tour with our Open Day this coming Saturday… one of the oldest clubs around and closely associated with veterans and emergency services personnel. If you and Papa West fancy a guest gig there you would be very welcome
That’s brilliant Nick ! Good idea, I tend to use google a lot for reviews etc most of my videos seem to come up on the first page in google for each fishery. Me and my dad would love to support your club with something like that but unfortunately I work 6 days a week including weekends, so it can be tough for me to attend things. Thank you for the offer though 🎣🎣
A reliable, solid day float fishing just off the bottom over a consistant bed of light groundbait was guaranteed for all-day action - the fish never seemed fussy about bait (lots of competition probably)
Did you ever get any of the Barbel that were in there ?
Only about 1lb-2lb at most - but boy they used to make a welcome surprise, after taking silverfish time-after-time
I remember Beacon View was like an A-Z of Coarse fish species . . . . there were even Chub in there too
Not that I remember! I was only maybe 11/12 😂 going back some years !
Great video as always westy glad u both had a great day shame about the lads casting over you but a good move and ended up better off in the end 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That’s true buddy !
Perhaps they are referring to those old frame feeders that used to look like a small football when loaded with groundbait and went in like a depth charge! Liked the vlog.
Stay safe and thanks
That’s probably true ! They are ancient those rules 😂 they need updating because they definitely aren’t policed 🎣
Hi m8 fished beacon view last weekend, great looking place, owner she was sound, as them rules go like you said very vague so we mailed them and she said you can use PVA so long as it melts hahaha bless her. Had a great day there will deffo go back as the son in laws father had a cracking carp of 19lb 8oz a PB for him and almost a soaking 😂
Haha I don’t think the owners are into fishing ! Wow that is a mega carp, for a day ticket commercial. So close yet so far away from that magic number 😂 great hearing what you guys catch in these fisheries! The big’uns are in these waters they are just few and far between 😂
Got a tip for you for your feeders it you use the long stem. Cut a bit of it off. And have the rubber about. 10mm from the top of the feader. If you get a big fish t can shake it off as it's ment to be. But you lose less as I had the same trouble with them
What a great idea ! Thank you 🎣👌🏻
Good luck with them. I try to get a mould for them. But there so hard to find on line. Love the vids kee them up
Hey mate. Great day
Used to fish there alot when my lads wer younger
Could fish into the dark back then as he had lights around the pond. Used to catch alot of different sturgeon. My biggest was 16lb!! Was 5' long n had to land it by grabbing its tail 😱
Brilliant memories there ! It’s a shame the sturgeon had to go 😭😔
Great vid as normal mate. Down to earth and fully relevant. Great watch
Thank you, tight lines 🎣
They'll be preparing to spawn in those margins of they're their in numbers.
This place used to have massive sturgeon in it years ago. Think the biggest was called "stumpy" if I remember.
It did 😁
Good angling , some cracking looking carp , good move , think one rule , that most fisheries don’t put up is about Fishing etiquette, I’m afraid I would have probably got my self into trouble, but turns out their bad manners done you a favour 😂😂, loved your change in tactic to bigger wafters , then caught the new borns 😂😂 🎣🎣 I’m so sorry but it did make me 😂 😂, loved this , keeping it real , love it 🎣🎣🎣
I don’t think a lot of people have common sense 😂 or if they don’t fish often they probably don’t understand how annoying it is . Either way it worked to our advantage. I’m sure it’s relatable for a lot of you guys so I thought I would include it, it’s all part of fishing. Haha yes the bigger wafter tactic did not work 😂
Talk about "a game of two halves!”🙂 Your Dad streaked ahead in first swims, then second half Westy hammers the fish and ends up with a great win!😂😂 Fished there 15yrs ago & it was rammed with idiots casting here, there, & everywhere with 1/2 tin luncheon meat on hook after the cats. Glad they’ve now removed the cats, but sadly still some idiots frequent😡. All your fish looked in excellent condition. Think I might try there in coming weeks. Great video, as always.👍🏻🎣
Haha 15 years later still full of idiots 😂 some places just attract them ! I’m glad you are watching my videos and using them as a tool to see where is fishing well and which pegs, that’s what they are for ! Hopefully we can get a local WestysAngling community together and share local knowledge 🎣
@@WestysAngling The last bit, definitely a ‘yes’ - minus the idiots?!😏🤣🤣🤣
I've always thought that they jump to get rid of parasites
I did until I looked into it a few years ago ! 🐟
I'm here again I went down to Harry's again and caught 4 big ones
I thought you was going to show me the catches ! 🎣
Great video, nice to see some sunshine for a change. Have you changed from the quick release swivel on the feeder to a bead connector, I couldn't quite see on the video, but it looked different... Also I hope the other anglers watch your channel & realise how annoying it can be, nicking someone else's swim... keep up the good work 🎣.
Those cheap eBay feeders come with the inserts mate and the are more snug than the Preston ones so I don’t feel I need to use the quick change for resistance 🎣 me to but those kind of people probably don’t care. Just unthinking and selfish. If it was me I would have chosen some quiet corner to fish and sometimes, as this video shows, it can pay off 🐟🐟🐟
love that place
It is a really nice fishery !
awsome video ones again m8! And i bought the same chair from your last video and its super comfy, thx for the tip!
I have slept on it as a bed chair this week 😂😂
@@WestysAngling haha dit you bring a pillow? :P
Great place for pellet waggler nowadays mate ..
Some real.pigs in there ..
Robin red is deadly ...
Another i dont get to enough
Pellet waggler is definitely something I will be doing more of this year ! Very effective
Another good video mate, might try and give this one a go.
went to that divine fisheries last week it’s still fishing a bit slow, but the owner says give it another two weeks. Will definitely give it another try..👍🏻
The owners always say that ! The fish are definitely feeding elsewhere 🎣
Bloody bream 🤣🤣 awesome content pal 👌
Cheers mate ! Thanks for watching as always !
Good session pal try red Robin pellets 8-12 mm by dynamite baits really good 👍
I know a few people that have great success from robin reds ! I have a video coming out next week testing the Robin Red 2mm pellets on the method 👌🏻🎣
That's some crazy rules, get the no meat and bread but no method feeders i don't understand that at all. You'll have to come and do a review at my local at some point
Glad I’m not the only one that thinks they are a little extreme 😂
Love your videos mate
Thank you ! 🎣
Have u watched the guru underwater, method feeder video...fantastic watch!!!
Yes it’s amazing how the carp can literally suck up all the pellets and leave the hookbait 😂
Westy can you answer a question about Harry's fishery? Is there a paypoint or do you pay on the bank? I do know this is not Harry's. Great vid.
Haha Don’t worry ask anything anytime ! Pay on the bank, should still be £5 but haven’t been in a month or so
Hi westy great vid again ,what brand and size were the pineapple wafters you were using cheers mate
12 mm sticky baits 👌🏻
Do you buy off line if so where from ,or the local tackle shop ?
Good video as normal. Those anglers done you a favour
They certainly did !
Great video.....do you know how big the carp to up to?
I’d say easily 20lb+ most of the fisheries around there have carp to 20lb, it’s just hard to catch those individuals.
@@WestysAngling Nice one, I'll be there Sunday so fingers crossed. Any winter tips?
@harrison9281 only recast every 45 mins! Find the deeper water ! Which is the right side of the like here to the middle
Also use a high sided feeder so the bait stays on
@@WestysAngling Winner thanks 👍
Before i moved away from the area, i fished there in about 2007
Had some great long summer days catching ,all day long
Then, Luncheon meat was the bait
I remember freaking out when i caught a crazy Sturgeon for the first time - big, boney, long, alien looking thing about 8+lbs - that took a lifetime to get in on light tackle (it was no way the target fish for the day)
Weird creatures
Probably a similar time to when we fished it last !
@@WestysAngling - Yeah, it used to be a fiver, and the guy used to walk round and collect
(He also used to take orders for bacon sandwiches, which he used to make fresh, and bring round in tin foil & for a couple of quid! . . . . . . just the thing, if you were an early starter)
Yes I remember! I had forgotten about that, I think that was one of the reasons my dad used to take me 😂
Ur dad don’t say much does he but then agen he don’t have to as his fishing does his talking both you so well . Try some pellets and boilie crush n sweet liquid pal I’ve been catching alsorts on this summer
Very quiet my Dad mate 😂 but yes the man can fish ! Very knowledgeable!
Great video guys 👍 pellets looked really good with the pineapple glug u used , u still selling ur jumper hoodies ? How much for a XL ? Cheers guys really enjoyed watching ur videos
£39.99 posted to the uk. Only 2 left, just pop me an email at WestysAngling@gmail.com or a message on the WestysAngling instagram page.
The carp do like that pineapple goo 🍯
Great watch again, pal. What rod bag do u have?
Preston supera 6 rod holdall hard case 195cm
Anyone seen the 16lb barbel caught by a little girl i think it was a commercial anglers mail reported it I saw a pic big nice fish.
wich net do you use ,is that net from korum? and what size is it? nice mirror bythe way thank you stef from holland
Yes it’s a Korum ! But I don’t recommend it, it’s too deep! 🎣
HI Westy great video as usual. keep up the good work. i would like to know where you got your mixing bucket with the riddle from please. ive been looking for the for sometime now and all i can find is the big 1s. THANKS
I have been told they are back in stock some places now , Korda EVA Groundbait and riddle set 👌🏻👍🏻
@@WestysAngling Cheers buddy. thanks
How much is your large hood pls
£39.99 posted to the uk buddy !
@WestysAngling can I have a large 1 then please and how do i pay you for it
Hello westy,you are on tik tok also?
There are a few videos on there 👌🏻🎣
Wow such a great session plenty of good fish’s. Well done to you both 🎉.
Question: I’m thinking about buying a second rod but I’m not big professional with them so just wanted to ask you for your thoughts about Preston ignition 12ft with 1oz and 2oz tips , should I got for it. Also I’m fishing only method feeder
What kind of venues are you fishing on ? Just small commercial fisheries like us ? If so I would go with a 10ft feeder rod like a Shimano aero x1 strong enough for most carp 🎣
@@WestysAngling well ye similar venues, rarely casting over 30 meters. And my current rod is Davies method feeder 11q so I may go for 10ft one as you suggested
My dad uses the X1, I tested it for a review and it’s a cheap bit cracking rod 👌🏻👍🏻
@@WestysAngling Shimano Aero X1 Precision Feeder Rod , is this the one ? 11ft 59.99£
Well ye looks like I’m managing to find only 9,11,12ft longs lol
Are your hoodies on sale?
I have 1 XL left and some T-shirts in order for summer … when it finally comes 😂
@@WestysAngling have you got a link to buy the XL one?
@@carpnovice922 just pop me an email to westysangling@gmail.com 👍🏻🎣
Why don't you rest the fish in the net your dad gets the fish in the net and alwaysbin a hurry to put the fish back into the lake and not take he's time
We often do Lee, I mostly cut stuff like that out the videos. Watch some of my others you will see that kind of carp care 🎣 tight lines buddy
I don't mean to be rude but why don't you sit down and fish you would probably catch more. You just talk all the way through and your not doing any fishing. We don't want to keep hearing what bait your using or where your going to cast,we can watch where your casting. Your taking the fun out of watching the video by talking all the time!!! Just saying!!!!!!
You are sounding a little rude. You having a bad day Dave ? Your comments are usually positive on the channel. I did a questionnaire and people liked me talking through what I’m doing, what I’m using, where I’m casting and fishing and the reasons why.
@@WestysAngling I'm not having a bad day, I just find it off putting. It's ok telling us once but you repeat it all the way through the video plus we can see where you are casting. I find myself listening to you and not watching the video because there is not alot to watch it's all audio!! Believe me I'm not being nasty and if I came across like that I apologise. It's just I can not concentrate on the fishing. I watch another TH-cam channel and he fishes and talks when something happens,like if he catches a fish. Once again I apologize if you thought I was being nasty. I just thought your videos would be better if you set up first before you start filming then tell us what bait you will be using and if you are going to fish the margins or open water then let the veiwer watch the fishing then once you catch describe your catch!!!
I dont think you should swear when doing your videos as kids could be watching!! Not very professional!!!🤔😡
I’m sure they hear worse, I also tick a box on my videos which says they aren’t for Kids. It’s not often I swear on the videos though
