I think a mix is probably the best Matt. Keeps everyone happy and mixes it up a bit. Fair play for fishing in this cold weather...I can only applaud. Thanks 👍
for myself i like all of your videos you do because none of it's staged, its just you and your dad enjoying a days fishing and helping anglers like myself with different methods of fishing , keep doing what you have been doing matt.
Unlucky Westy better luck next time, I will certainly be watching. I got seriously addicted to the method feeder vids from the summer but am now enjoying the variations too so just keep up the good work
Unlucky mate. Good to see other anglers struggle in the cold months and it’s not just me! I love your “warts ‘n all” Vlog style videos. They’re always true to life unlike some of the more polished names brand videos full of upselling.
At least you did some fishing westy. Me and lads prefer your usual fishing adventures through your vlog style. We seem to learn a lot from them as we’re pretty new to method feeder fishing. Keep it up mate
Tough session but that’s what I like about your videos they’re true to life and show warts and all. I prefer the vlog style that’s off the cuff and is the reality of fishing, blanks and all 😁. Keep up the great work
i like all your videos. I enjoy the different types for different reasons. just really enjoy watching someone who fishes similar to me, doesnt just say you need all the most expensive kit and just enjoy the hobby.
I like your vlog style videos. You fish a lot of the same venues (like this one) as I do. In the vlog format, you get to see a bit more of the surrounding scenery, too, which is always a bonus. Also, you show that some places can be tough going and you're honest about your results. So it's not just me who has bad days 😂 Keep up the good work 👌
Eh' up Westy, maybe have a go with "Whitebait" and Crayfish tails from Supermarket ? Whitebait saves killing Minnows for those averse to Livebaiting !! Crayfish tails, have an attractive orange & white Stripy pattern.
Honestly, I like a mixture of all the styles. It's great to get an insight into your thought process and I'm sure I'm not the only one who picks up a few tips. Just keep doing what interests you. Your passion is what makes for such great viewing!
Hardest fish to target . Need to fully embrace a blank. It would be worth asking the owner could you use some weedless or ned lure jig fishing at winter a good few will say ok. Some lively maggots would of been a huge help to get movement around the prawn . Large perch are quite lazy . Also large perch hate any resistance they will drop the bait instantly . The lightest of bobbin with a very large drop to give the time for the perch to pick up with confidence. I can’t remember the make of my Bobbin but it weights nothing at all. ( just something enough weight to hold the line down ) Also the lead needs to be free running again no resistance. The large drop on bobbin will give you time to ready yourself and once it hits the reel it will hook itself. Keep trying it’s a art form itself targeting them
great video! been watching you loads recently. went for a session last sunday and managed to catch two 6-7lb carp using some of the tips in this video. thanks!
Me and my 10 year old son love your videos and we like the vlogs styles type videos more natural and learn more with those type of videos. Elliot my son has brought some of your winter pellets and glaze for winter fishing this year he would love to win the cap lol.
Honestly Matt, I enjoy your videos whatever style they are… the tips and tricks I’ve learnt by watching you since I’ve started back up have been a wonder for me!!! Keep doing you brother… Tight Lines🎣
Couldnt say my favourite type of video, I enjoy all your content. River fishing series is really good and even just you at the fisheries! I will say I think you need to make a checklist before you go out, you've forgotten your chair, your coffee to name a few times haha!
Hi fella, it's the fact that you post your videos, wether you catch or blank, that's true honesty, so people can relate to you more, rather than other YT angler's who secretly go bait up days before then catch a hat full, which is not how fishing goes. Keep it up mate, all the best for 2025 👍
I wish I had time for sneaky pre- baiting 😂 I agree though. Or they film 2/3 sessions at the same venue. So many things you can do off camera to make it look like you catch all the time. But that gives anglers a false reality of the sport. Cheers Graham 🎣👍🏻
Evening Westy. I like your vlog style tbh. Feels a bit more like my sessions. Tbh though I'll watch all of them anyways!! Best of luck, tight lines and a happy 2025 to you!!
Tough day, Matt but it's on days like these where we tend to learn for next time. I prefer the kids where you're targeting specific species. Happy new year buddy!
Just the average chap out and about doing what he loves, im here for the ride. I like all the content. Always grab a brew and get it on the big telly. Shame you didn’t catch on the lily pond.
Unlucky pal, always enjoyable to watch. I remember talking to the teacher that runs the kids fishing classes on croft, he had his perch feature in angling times early this year. Cudda sworn he caught all his 4lbers from the main 2 ponds, and he deffo caught his pike in them too...hes the man you need to talk to.
I love watching your videos the experience you have as helped me with my fishing I’ve just started back and l can’t understand Huw technology as moved on keep up the good work
@@WestysAngling Yep! All small carp, mainly mirrors and I even had a tench! My brother and his mate had thirty two pegs down. . Honestly, it was mental! I could hardly keep up logging my fish on the Fishbrain app 😂 cocoscope and marzipan 💪
River videos are always good as it's not a fish fest like commercials..but have to say species hunt for me.. I like it when people set themselves a challenge and put their all into trying to achieve their final goal. Best thing was the time of year you chose! Tuff time catch any fish so did bloody well to manage to tick most the list off..
@WestysAngling can never please everyone bud.. I'd challenge anyone to dedicate a whole week plus to give it a go! Yeah there was some easy catches on the list but you set the bar high with some species for any time of the year! That deserves respect to your dedication pal.. middle finger to the haters! Have a great new year ..I look forward to watching more uploads in 25
Following on all platforms. Today's video is great for me. But then again I like most of em. Not over keen on river fishing but you keep it interesting. 😀
Shame about the blank, but they’re inevitable this time of year. I like any video you put out mate, this is the only non specific carp channel I follow. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Hello Westy, i do wonder if u ever gonna start sending you're products world wide, i live in Denmark and i would love to get my hands on some of your products
Exporting bait is problematic, even had issues sending it to Ireland 🇮🇪 😂 also the postage costs on pellets is really high, I doubt people would pay it.
@@WestysAngling Ye, seems reasonable, i had a some friends bring a few bags of the pellets from their trip to the UK, and i won't lie, prob had one of the best coarse trips in a few years
Good video pal enjoying them ,tough conditions I’ve used prawn at my fishery caught both carp and big perch ,also caught big perch on your salmon waters 😊
Have you really ? That’s interesting! Although a fella told me he caught a pike on my pink wafters once. I think they have caught every species. Even had a guy take them to Thailand and catch monster fish on them 😂 💪🏻🎣
nice video mat...i fish a local pond for the bigger perch that swim there ..i fish 2 rods both on float rigs ..one just off bottom and one laid on bottom .. with prawns one dyed red ..and one natural...i also sprinkle red mags..over both rigs..and without a doubt the red prawns out fish the naturals...tight lines as always.....
I don't really have any preference to which videos you do,I enjoy watching them regardless,bit of a toughie today mate, but never mind maybe give it another go sometime ( don't forget the maggots).
If anyone wants to support the channel the best way is to pick up some bait or essentials from - westysangling.co.uk 💪🏻🎣
I think a mix is probably the best Matt. Keeps everyone happy and mixes it up a bit. Fair play for fishing in this cold weather...I can only applaud. Thanks 👍
for myself i like all of your videos you do because none of it's staged, its just you and your dad enjoying a days fishing and helping anglers like myself with different methods of fishing , keep doing what you have been doing matt.
I don’t think you need any help Christine ! 💪🏻🎣
@@WestysAngling thanks matt
Unlucky Westy better luck next time, I will certainly be watching.
I got seriously addicted to the method feeder vids from the summer but am now enjoying the variations too so just keep up the good work
I have to say I do like this vlog style. Feels more like a real fishing day out. I like your normal videos, but the vlog style is great.
Unlucky mate. Good to see other anglers struggle in the cold months and it’s not just me! I love your “warts ‘n all” Vlog style videos. They’re always true to life unlike some of the more polished names brand videos full of upselling.

just love watching a Westys Angling video, planned or not, just good to watch and listen to you're thoughts

I haven’t thought of it like that ! Good points 👌🏻🙏🏻

My favourite videos are when your Dad goes with you !!

I like the more casual VLOG style, but all styles are brilliant. I just wait to see what you’ve forgotten to bring to the session 😂
very interesting one this Westy, some good tips taken away. Will be ordering some glaze and hookbaits.
That's fishing 🎣 😊
Hardest fish to target . Need to fully embrace a blank. It would be worth asking the owner could you use some weedless or ned lure jig fishing at winter a good few will say ok.
Some lively maggots would of been a huge help to get movement around the prawn . Large perch are quite lazy .

Always love your videos as there just down to earth. But I do love your more professional videos mate. ❤
Whatever you want Matt, either way it's the best fishing chanel mate 👍🎣🐟👌
Keep doing them all love watching your doing a great job
Hi Matt. I personally get a lot of helpful advice and tips from all the video formats you use and don't have a favoured type.
great video! been watching you loads recently. went for a session last sunday and managed to catch two 6-7lb carp using some of the tips in this video. thanks!
Well done mate
I like all the videos. They are all interesting and obviously that’s why they call it fishing not catching. Rob
I really like all of your different styles of videos, keep up the good work.

Sweepstake........what does Westy forget on next trip?
🤣🤣
Honestly Matt, I enjoy your videos whatever style they are… the tips and tricks I’ve learnt by watching you since I’ve started back up have been a wonder for me!!! Keep doing you brother… Tight Lines🎣
Have they helped you get more fish on the bank ?
Watch totally awesome fishing with Graham pullen. He's brilliant. 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
@@WestysAngling definitely mate!!! Went about 2 weeks dry of a carp, the pain!!!😂😂😂… then got a few after using some your tips👍🎣
i like a bit of both tbh the rod race episodes were good fun. would love to see you expand to some more fisheries further afield
Couldnt say my favourite type of video, I enjoy all your content. River fishing series is really good and even just you at the fisheries! I will say I think you need to make a checklist before you go out, you've forgotten your chair, your coffee to name a few times haha!
I know mate I’m a nightmare for forgetting stuff. Always in a rush!
Been watching your videos for a while now learnt so much on ya method fishing just wanted to say thanks
I prefer the fishery reviews but I also enjoyed the rod race videos. I do enjoy the banter between you and your dad as well
Hi fella, it's the fact that you post your videos, wether you catch or blank, that's true honesty, so people can relate to you more, rather than other YT angler's who secretly go bait up days before then catch a hat full, which is not how fishing goes. Keep it up mate, all the best for 2025 👍

Loving the river videos my kind of fishing and I really want a session on the ribble now planning a trip 😂
the vlog type videos are great ,keep up the good work
My favourite fishing you do is when you go out without an idea .(vlog ) also the westys wafters power pineapple are so good will all way’s recommend
Thanks Morgan ! Hope you have your T-Shirt on 🎣
Evening Westy. I like your vlog style tbh. Feels a bit more like my sessions. Tbh though I'll watch all of them anyways!! Best of luck, tight lines and a happy 2025 to you!!
Thanks buddy ! Tight lines in 2025 💪🏻
Hope you all had a great xmas! I think my video of choice would be more collabs. You always bounce of the other guy really well
Hey mate I love the fishery reviews videos have a good new years mate
Some more coming next year for sure 💪🏻
The vlog style is for me. 👍🎣
Tough day, Matt but it's on days like these where we tend to learn for next time. I prefer the kids where you're targeting specific species. Happy new year buddy!

Free lure! Happy days! 😁🎣💪🏼

Oh and we had an epic session on your pellets on Saturday. Me and hubby had over 40 on the bank. It was a hectic session!!
40?! In winter that’s amazing !
@@WestysAngling Yep! All small carp, mainly mirrors and I even had a tench! My brother and his mate had thirty two pegs down. . Honestly, it was mental! I could hardly keep up logging my fish on the Fishbrain app 😂 cocoscope and marzipan 💪
I prefer your vlog videos. It is very interesting to watch and also anyone can learn from you. Bistro!!
I think i prefer a blog style just joining you on your fishing adventures. But it is good to mix it up for a change every now and again.
Lol, I thought THE GINGER FISHERMAN HAD DYED HIS BEARD😂😂😂😂😂i am stoned tho.😂😂😂😂
Well done for giving it a go. If you don't try different stuff you stop learning.
River videos are always good as it's not a fish fest like commercials..but have to say species hunt for me.. I like it when people set themselves a challenge and put their all into trying to achieve their final goal. Best thing was the time of year you chose! Tuff time catch any fish so did bloody well to manage to tick most the list off..
The rod race was really difficult! I still got criticism for not completing it though 😂 some folk are never happy haha
@WestysAngling can never please everyone bud.. I'd challenge anyone to dedicate a whole week plus to give it a go! Yeah there was some easy catches on the list but you set the bar high with some species for any time of the year! That deserves respect to your dedication pal.. middle finger to the haters!

All good from a fellow serial blanker.😂
Like to see a video of you using the lure you found .
Good idea !!! Will do 💪🏻
Might of blanked but true fishing I enjoy all the videos picking up tips to try out
.....also, I'd like to more 'campaign ' type uploads. Man on a mission!!
Either way, tight lines buddy 🎣🐟

Good morning, I've been looking at bait runners recently what size do you have and which brand, Shimano vary so much 👍
The one in todays video is an old Shimano but I like the Daiwa Regal reels using them a lot at the moment
Would love to see you fish Hudson’s farm at st Michael’s. Some beasts in there
Will stick it on the list 👌🏻
Awesome pal looking forward to your next upload
videos are great to watch if you catch or not
I follow you because your videos are awesome and I am big fan and I would say any video you do i will watch
Blank is a blank but i think magots would of helped but you never know some day its just not your day. Ive got to say am loving the barble videos
Just keep doing what your doing westy brilliant content matey
But if am being picky am loving the feeder so Anythink with the feeders
All the best pal
Westy can I ask what landing net and pole you use?
Landing net is a new ngt one. The handle is an old Leeda one. amzn.to/3W0lMXr
@@WestysAngling Thank you much appreciated
Normal videos Westy..😊 natural
I don't really have any preference to which videos you do,I enjoy watching them regardless,bit of a toughie today mate, but never mind maybe give it another go sometime ( don't forget the maggots).
The vlog for reality
Always real on this channel ! 😂 probably too real
Great video as always westy ! What actually is your pb perch ? Mine is 3lb 2oz
I prefer your vlog videos I find them more entertaining
I do like the blog style videos
Got to be the vlogs for us,it’s great for the younger fishers to show you can’t go out and catch 150lb of fish every session
Vlog style videos please
normal mate good to watch warts an all
I prefer the vlog style
You need some more lessons from Dad
Not sure about that … the student has surpassed the master 🙏🏻
@@WestysAnglingwe will see 😂😂
Your best videos are when your dad is with you and catching more, it makes him so happy and in turn is funny
👍👍
I don't mind what videos
Normal tag along videos as we can see your choice of swims areas feed tactics etc !!
I prefer the professional videos 😊
Winter is a time to be in a warm pub, not on a cold bankside struggling for bites, numpty.
Drinking is for mugs
@@Bot-rp7rj he might be drinking hot chocolate or coffee u narrow minded mug
For 4 hrs, don’t take so much stuff 🤷🏻♂️
drop shot worm would have probably worked better
Maybe, who knows
Great video as always westy ! What actually is your pb perch ? Mine is 3lb 2oz
Not sure mate maybe 1.5lb ?
