- North West Rod Race | Day 1 | Brookside Fisheries | catfish
Well the first day of my north west rod race is here! I don't think I could have timed the race any worse with the autumn weather coming in hard … with heavy rain and a huge 10c temperature drop. It's going to be a tough one no doubt. This first day we will be targeting some of the harder species on the list.
What is a rod race ? Created by the great Matt Hayes and Mick Brown… it’s a challenge to try catch as many species as you possibly can in a week. This is my first attempt with less than ideal conditions ! But im hoping it will be something different and an exciting and entertaining watch. I will be doing all kinds of fishing from trotting to lures in my attempt to catch em’ all. Wish me luck!

Westy, What a great video. It just goes to show, how long it can take sometime to actually catch a fish. This first part of your rod race has been good to watch. And the way you present yourself is brilliant, not sounding over knowledgeable, but in a down to earth way. A lot of the fishing people can fully understand and use some of your top tips on bait, rigs, rods, and equipment, and all aspects of the sport. Thank you very much for taking the time in all kinds of weather, and a thumbs-up to your Dad for the worms.
Pappa west saved the day with the worms. This is a really nice comment mate and it’s very appreciated. It’s my opinion that nobody really 100% knows everything about fishing and I’m always learning and trying to get better at the sport. You are very welcome, thank you for watching them 💪🏻🎣🎬
Looking forward to this series.
Hiya, nice fish well done, I will be watching. 👍👍👍
Woah ! That's quite some challenge you've set for yourself, Westy. I look forward to watching your attempts and wish you the best of luck.
Thank you 🎣💪🏻
Love this Westy . Just watching Admire what you do and try. We are learning . You give us it all . Enjoy keep going. 👍👏
Looking forward to these challenges you're going to encounter over the next few weeks, hopefully you'll complete it 🙂🍻
Can't wait to see Matt & Mick back on the road as well for the Ultimate Rod Race. I really enjoyed the Great Rod Race and the Greater Rod Race so the Ultimate Rod Race will be just as good
Well done pal 👍 that's how to start your challenge 👏 really looking forward to see how you get on with this challenge 😊 hope you smash it buddy 👍 👌🏼💪🎣🐟🐟🐟🐟
Me too mate 💪🏻🎣
Brilliant, really enjoyed that, keeping it real, good angling 🎣🎣🎣
Only just watching the intro and already buzzing to see how this goes! Good luck and remember to enjoy it!
Great advice!
My Friday was good till I saw this Friday is even better thanks westy for this lovely vid
Love it Westy! Good luck getting them ticked off, tight lines!
Excellent video and a great idea of a rod race👍
Good to see you promoting the NW!
How about Westy’s Guide to NW Fisheries.
Another cracking video,always enjoyable and very informative. Smashed that catfish. Look forward to day 2 x
Nice one Westy, lovely cat. Best of luck mate across the remaining days
All the luck on your challenge great video
well done Westy, great video good luck with the next venue.
I was fella in corner catching with my lad and mate we ended with free cat and thanx for the freebie top man
Michael, please tell Dino I appreciate the worms and the tips/ info. I just can’t do shout outs on videos as everyone wants them after that and the videos need to flow. The video needs to be filmed around the challenge only. 💪🏻🎣
Hope you did the gofundme for the M Hayes & M Brown Ultimate rod race 🙂 Well done on the 25Lb slimy tadpole (I do hate the things) Hooked into one last week while trying for Carp. 57 Lb caused absolute havoc 10:30 AM so they will feed in the daytime Good Job I had an angler buddy there that knew what he was doing Looking forward to your next video
Tremendous effort a lot
Fantastic westy good luck for rest of the race mate
Yes! Its finally here!!! Wicked first vid!
your vlogs get better and better top content cheers for putting effort in to these vlogs hard work all round
Nice cat fish great video as always . Look forward to the rest of the challenge. Tight lines Matt.
My favourite type of fishing catfish
good start mat!...i think the grass carp might be ya toughest bud...tight lines waiting for the next chapter.....
I think so too, such a picky fish unless you’re stalking them !
Nice 1!🎉
Don't sell yourself short westy that vid you made with your dad and caught that beautiful koi was just as good as this one. Two thumbs up from me 👍👍
Nice fish mate enjoyed the vid thanks
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
Brilliant idea westy if you come to north wales get in touch
Brilliant fishery/ pond in a field
With 25lbs+ catty
love a catfish vid
I have another coming in the next few weeks 💪🏻🎣
Mate I would deffo do the rod race if I had time but I need to try content create with school and football lol but keep it up
It’s been really time consuming and also expensive so far 😂 not been an easy one with the weather change
@@WestysAngling I know the weather has been so so bad lol and it is very expensive with the tickets and all the rigs and bait that’s why I can’t do it lol.
Good video, beep, beep, beep :)
We love fishing at brookside, great video pal. Ps where did you buy your worms from ?
Hi westys angling, I’m commenting to recommend going to turbary house course fishery and doing a review there that would be great !
Poppa westy for the win 👌🏼😂
Yes westy go on mate cat off the list. What you think guna be your hardest target am saying sea trout. Got a good one for you if you want trout brown, rainbow, and tiger trout i went Embsay reservoir today near Skipton had a good day out had about ten trout out between me and ma mate.
Sea trout will be pot luck while trotting. Difficult to target them 👌🏻
3 beeps you sure the battery doesn’t need changing? 😂
Hahaha 😂
Looking forwood to this set of videos did enyone else see the rat at 20:52
cep it up on vidos
25LB cat not to be sniffed at even if it did keep you waiting 🙂
Also where do we send our catch pictures from brookside?
Iv just started proper carp fishing and cat fishing and my best lb is 27lb on that site
Great cat mate ! Brookside is where I got my first, Cudmore is where I had my pb, some units in there 💪🏻🎣
Nice video mate keep it up
Well done mate when’s next video and how’s dad!
What rods, reels, line and hooks you using?
10ft 3.25 Sonik rods, Penn affinity reels (good cat strength drag ) 30lb Berkley big game mono. 25-60lb braid hooklengths depends on manufacturer. Size 6-4 hooks , Nash twister / Korda kamakura . You can catch cats up to 60lb on carp tackle with good clutch control and a clear lake.
Had my cat on krill bollies 94 lb had every one on them keep it simple
hi m8 tie your pod down,so cant get pulled in.
Michael, I have seen your 6 other comments saying this. In 15 years of fishing with a rod pod I have never even been close to having one go in. It’s got pegs in the front it’s going nowhere, also the clutch is slackened right off for the cats. If yours is being dragged about your baitrunner or clutch is too tight buddy.
Hi westy its lukas from couple mill my mum tried to join the website to text you but you need to accept her so i can get them new carp wafters thank you😊
Hi Lukas ! I haven’t had any requests buddy 🎣
Use bigger hooks. I use 2/0 bp hooks and they look tiny in a 20lb cats mouth
No. A quality Size 6/4 is more than big and strong enough for cats to 70lb. You go bigger and the hooks aren’t as sharp to nail picky cats. There is also a maximum hook size at this fishery …
You do you, I will do me 👌🏻
Let westy do his thing and keep to your stick fighting soft lad
2/0 hooks … you joking 😂
@@Bob-sh9sw definitely not mate
@@WestysAngling fair enough if there is a hook size restriction. Not much you can do in that case. Catfish pro 2/0 bp hooks are plenty sharp enough 😉👍
Well done worth the wait 👍. So prehistoric looking think catching one of those would frighten me to death 😂, nice to see your dad willing to help bringing you the worm's, will he be going with you on any if your expeditions? . Gwen 🧓
