- Method Feeder Fishing | PLAIN Vs SWEET Pellets | Does It Matter?
In todays session I will be seeing whether it actually matters what flavour of 2mm pellets you use on the method feeder !
I have been wondering for a while if it’s worth paying extra for sweet or flavoured pellets and if it really affects your catch rate when using pellets packed with attractants as opposed to normal fishery 2mm feed pellets.
So I set out to limbrick fishery in Chorley to put it to the test ! It turned into a great session, grab yourself a brew or a beer and enjoy the video 🎣

next time do the plain pellets first to stop cross contamination of flavour or rinse the pellet wetter thoroughly🙃🙃👍

Westy's catchphrase...... ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! 😂
😂 will have to get it printed on the next batch of Merchandise 🤣
If your wondering why the ducks can be a pain it’s because when he struck into a carp a duck flew into his line and he had to untangle it from the line 😂😂😂 Tight Lines Westy!!
🏆🥇
If my pellet mix get a bit too soggy I just add some dry pellets to the mix to improve the texture. Another good informative video. 👍
Made me laugh when the ducks ate your pellets !
The ducks definitely had their say on their favourite pellets 😂🦆
😂 straight In there
Great video westy and brilliant fish made me laugh when ducks was eating your pellets ( b#####ds)😂😂😂👌👍
🦆 cheeky those ducks 😂
I found if you do your pellets before you leave in the morning they are perfect,, just put water up to the pellet line, and then all the flavor on your pellets stays on your pellets.. great vids btw..
Cracking days fishing, really enjoyable.
Well worth the wait Matt 👌 banging days fishing that 💪 i think you should change your logo to the 2 fish and a white duck head in the middle 😉 🤣🦆
😂😂😂😂 🦆❌
I really enjoyed watching your video, its inspired me to go so Its a sunny Wednesday afternoon in London I will finish at 3pm drive to Watford Piscators fishing club & have 4 to 5 hours hopefully pulling in a few carp. Thank you for your video. Oh I better leave a note for the Mrs.
Another great video, looking forward to trying out the westy's sweet fishmeal pellets this weekend and hopefully have a day like you mate🎣
So you've nicked my lost plummet and now you're after my sunken brolly hahaha :) Have a good evening buddy ;)
This made me laugh 😂 brilliant!
@@WestysAngling That's what it's all about mate. I love watching your videos. I fish with my dad aswell so to me it's hits the right spot. All the good memories coming back when you visit old spots etc. Keep it up mate, I really enjoy watching 🙂
Been watching your videos for a few days now. Just starting out with the method feeder. Your videos have been really helpful and I’ve just ordered some bits off your website. Great videos. Tight lines.
Thanks Marie ☺️ hope you continue to get tips from the videos!
Another cracking video Westy keep them coming, very informative as usual some great fishing.
Great test , shows that colour or flavours don’t play that massive part in fishing , but it’s all about location location location, great video really enjoyed that , finally puts my thoughts back to my original theory, 😂🎣🎣🎣
Location location location! 100% however my other tests gave shown that hookbaits have a bearing on it as well 😂 we are starting to paint a picture with the tests 😁
Damn i wish i could be in a position to buy some merch, ive watched all your method feeder videos and youve given some valuable information! Youve made me what to start method feeder fishing so i brought the kit and heading off this weekend to try it out for the first time. Wish me luck i dont blank😂
Good luck matey !! Sending you some WestysAngling good luck 🙏🏻
Excellent video, informative and entertaining. I like that peg at Limbrick and fish just one rod as two in that tight space is a bit fiddly for me. All the three areas Westy was fishing show how it is important to move around to find the fish. Don’t think there is much difference between the pellets more about getting them into the right spot.
Cheeky ducks but cute as well and folks watch where you put your Butty down or they will sample it 😎
Great vid, great peg, great fishery and fantastic fun commentary … Well Done Matt and thank you
Really is a superb fishery ! I went for a walk round a few weeks ago on passing and nobody was fishing that peg and the lake was full 😂 I just shook my head and walked off 😂 thanks got commenting Nick ! You will love next weeks video 👌🏻🎣
very good days fishing again westy , i always use fishery pellets but i use a flavor on mine . I had a pb the other week on the method feeder 17lb 14 oz mirror i find using fishery pellets gives you a advantage because thats what they use all year round to feed the fish when closed or when days are slow and lakes are not being used. looking forward to your next video .
17lb 14 is a brilliant fish to have on the feeder ! My biggest on the feeder ☺️ you are right they will see it as a natural food source and that they can feed on it safely 🎣
Great to see you and your dad enjoying a great session! I don't do method feeder fishing often but it was very interesting to see the comparison between the 2 sorts of pellets as i do use pellets in my mesh & solid bags! Great vid!
As I am sure you would agree David, the placement seemed much more important than the bait and I think that’s true I’m 90% of fishing ! 🎣🎣
@WestysAngling agree! Similarly with some hook baits i tried 8 different ones other day and caught 1 fish on each! But was fishing in the "right" spot! 🙂🎣
Great video 👍👍 keep them coming
Thanks Ian ! 🎣
another good video matt from you and ya dad...i think a lot is confidence in what ya use matt...i use the method ready...from spotted fin coz im lazy..🙄...fantastic pellets catch me a lot of fish!...those carp were tearing the bottom up on that nearside edge!....tight lines...
I agree with you as usual! Nothing wrong with the pre prepped pellets 😁 they certainly where ! Really digging down there 🎣
We missed you!
Another great video, great advice and a great day catching 😊
Great video. I’ve fished Limbrick the last few weekends since watching some of you other videos from there, really nice place. Caught a good few carp and even a massive fresh water mussel 😂
They get big those swan muscles don’t they John !! We have caught a few from different places. What’s your biggest from limbrick ?
It was about the size of my hand. I hadn’t caught anything up to that point, so it definitely counted 😂
😂😂 always wondered if they are nice to eat !
Nice video m8!! if i soak my mainline feeder pellets 20-30 sec they keep sticking to my feeder and get rock hard....what do i do wrong :(
Ducks love your bait
Lol 🤣
Thanks for the great video Matt ❤
Matt?
@@AnglingWithArt his name ?
@@xD2TV westy isn’t it?
I go by many names 🤣
I guess not 😂
hi westy another quality video I have not long got back in to fishing after 12 years your videos have helped massively and I bought a couple of feeder rods was wondering with you catching that 12lb what size carp could you pull in with a feeder rod mate cheers
I have come to to realise there are a number of factors that will determine how big of a fish you can get in on light tackle. It’s rare I fish anything less than 10lb mainline and 9lb hooklengths these days. With that I have had carp to 14+ and I’m confident that I could land a carp of 20lb+ but it also depends how open the swim is, are you fishing next to snags or have you got room to let the carp run and have your clutch set lighter! Many factors
Why don't you use 2 x single bank sticks either side of the slabbed platform. That would give u a bit more room to land the fish.. love the videos pal. Keep um coming. Tight lines
To be fair that’s what I used to do especially on the alarms ! Can be a good set up 👌🏻
I’m just catching up and haven’t got to this one BUT I saw Sonubaits do pineapple & coconut wafters (may have changed to pina colada, I’m not sure!) and bought some! They’re a mix of some in a white colour and some a yellow/green! Might be worth a try against your white cell ones!
Definitely! I will look into them 🎣
Great video as usual Westy👍 was wondering if you can offer some advice on how to tell if your ground bait is the right consistency?
Here in the States we don't have access to pre-packaged ground bait unless we find it online (even then it's very confusing and difficult to figure the right consistency on your own (not to mention the age-old question “what to use in your mix of ground bait to attract the carp and keep them coming to your swim?”.
Last question; do you think the ground bait mixture will be different in the States vs. European venues?
Thanks so much for teaching me along my journey so many strategies and tactics to become a better carp angler👍
If you have access to pellets, grind them up in a blender to be a powder, that’s all Groundbait is ! And you mix it just wet though that it binds together firmly, but not so firm that it doesn’t break up. To be honest I would use bread blended ! It’s better than Groundbait and cheap ! It probably a is a bit different between countries ! 🎣
@@WestysAngling thanks again for your valued advice!keep the great videos coming😉
Also There are two motorhome and caravan pitches available just beyond the gate behind that peg. I use them and they are really good 59:27
I didn’t know that Nick !!! Good info 👌🏻🎣
Yet another great video… Tight Lines
Thanks buddy 🎣
Just a quick 1, the fishery pellets u were using looked like coppens pellets, these soften much faster and are very light in colour, if you buy the skrettings pellets they are much darker and far more resiliant more like ur aquastim or sonubaits type pellets.
They where Coppens Ste ! You have a keen eye 😂 I’m impressed!
Another great video! Question:how do you not spook away the feeding fish in the near margin when you cast your method feeder into it and it makes a big splash?
Most of the time it doesn’t bother them or they soon return to feed. Because of how popular the method feeder is carp associate the noise of the feeder going in with food
Great video again westy ,great fishing ,I really fancy trying limbrick fishery roughly how long is the journey from Manchester ,and do you now the hours for fishing cheers mate
If you put your address in google maps and the following address for the fishery. It will give you current travel time.
Long Ln, Heath Charnock, Chorley PR6 9EF
Current opening time is 7:00am
I believe the on-site cafe is open Thur through to Sunday.
Hope this helps.
It’s about 30 mins from Manchester 😁 not too far !
Brilliant thank you ,
Really enjoying your vids. Could you tell what make of feeder arm you are using in this video please?
It actually comes with the caperlan feeder chair 🪑
@@WestysAngling ok thanks for the reply 👍🏻
I fished the same peg 2 weeks ago and had a very similar day. I have to agree I don't think it makes any difference about the pellets. At that venue it's all about the swim.
Definitely 🎣
Very informative this video
Glad you liked it matey 👌🏻🎣
I’ve started using those Preston innovation moulds and I sit the wafter onto the logo first and then fill with pellets. When you press the mould the wafter sits on the top and the hook stays hidden.
There’s a logo inside the mould in the centre,
about the soaking, you say 15-20 sec, is that for all your pellets and why? I never seem to get them right, they dry up really fast in summer and wind
Do you use a pellet wetter ? Can really help to get to all the pellets ! They aren’t very expensive 👌🏻
@@WestysAngling I do, the Preston one.
What’s the difference between a “bomb” and a method feeder? Trying to figure out the two ways you were fishing . Thanks.
A bomb is just a small lead, typically fished with a slightly longer hooklength. A method feeder has an area for bait to go for added attention 👌🏻 but very similar techniques.
@@WestysAngling thanks. Do you fish it like a method feeder (do you surround the lead with pack bait into a bait ball and cast it out), or do you just use your chosen hook bait as the only bait/attractant?
@josephquinn7356 no, conventionally you fire pellets over the top of where you cast your lead. Or use small pva bags 👌🏻
@@WestysAngling Thanks a lot for your time👍.
Is there more than one pool there? Which one you on bud?
There is yes ! Two doughnut lakes, this lake is at the back of the fishery, you would find it 😁
I fished that peg a few months back and bloody fell in 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha it’s definitely not a sturdy peg 😂
My rod whizzed round with something big and got dragged in. As I grabbed it fell in was like this must be massive and was only a baby mirror 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂 we have all been there !
You'll get quicker bites if you put the hook in the mould first then put pellets over top. That way your hookbait will Allways be showing instead of needing it to fall apart ( potentially not at all ) underwater and hiding your hookbait 👍
Each to their own, my way is extremely effective. Works for me and has worked for thousands of other anglers.
Whats the lake called pls tell like lool of it im like a new ish fisher men do fishing 1 every few months😢
Limbrick 😁
What about fishy tasting pellets? is there a difference?
Haha may be one for winter this 😂
Why would the fishery owner not remove the umbrella if he knows its in the swim?
Maybe he tried and was struggling 😂 or hadn’t got round to it or couldn’t find it …but I did think that myself !
Are you saying glass carp?
I am yes ☺️
question: which roles do you use?
Did you mean Rods Karl ? Shimano speedmasters 🎣
@@WestysAngling fishing reel?
They are Daiwa regal 3000 !
@@WestysAngling Thank you 👍👍
How many times can one man say aquastim in one video lol
What weight quiver tip do use?
Usually as heavy as possible, so if I’m using a 30-45g feeder I’d use 1.5-2oz 👌🏻
@@WestysAngling I'm using a guru a class feeder but need to buy a new tip. They have 1.5, 2 & 3oz. I'm fishing similar waters to you. Wondered which to buy?
Either 1.5 or 2oz 👌🏻 won’t make much difference 🎣
Bird strike, we got a bird strike
😂😂😂
it's a grass carp not glass. 👍 good vid as always.
No it’s a glass carp, completely different to a grass carp Darren! Glass carp are a rare breed of commons and mirrors with a lack of pigmentation in their skin. Have a search on the web 👌🏻🎣
@@WestysAngling ah my bad, it did look a bit like a grass CARP. I'll have a look on t net now. Find out about them.
Hard to find information on them but it’s like leather carp etc just a sub-mutation
Which pellets did the ducks prefer? 😅
F1 sweet 😂
Should have watched to the end before making that comment!
@ednorth2301 😂😂
On a match lake it really doesn’t make the difference the fish eat anything
I haven’t had this experience with hookbaits, but definitely doesn’t matter for pellets !
I've always thought that it doesn't matter. Same goes for all these flavour additives, all a bit of bollocks and clever marketing.
