Congratulations John ! You have won this week’s giveaway 🎣 please message me on the WestysAngling instagram or Facebook to claim your cap 🧢 for anyone that didn’t win make sure you are subscribed to the channel so you don’t miss future giveaways 🎣
When you mentioned about being tough fishery, the funny thing is I don’t mind find it relaxing float fishing whether I catch a lot or a few it always reminds me of my Dad when we went float fishing with quill floats . Just a happy memory . Just a pleasure angler. Hope you had a good day , regardless of bad weather. 👍
Totally agree, definitely float for me, not bothered about catching anything huge. And I still use porcupine quill floats (home made) rather than plastic waggler.
Gutted you didn’t blank 😂 Me and my 8 year old daughter have fished Harry’s 3 times since watching your videos and she’s absolutely hooked on fishing now (pardon the pun) she would of loved a westys cap to wear on the bank next time we go. She hooked a 9lb fully scaled mirror off the top at Harry’s with bread after watching your video. She was shaking for hours afterwards with adrenaline and now she won’t stop until she bags one of the barbel. Keep up the good work and thank you for inspiring the next generation. ❤
Love your videos. Can’t believe how many fish your Dad catches. He is amazing. It’s good that you guys go fishing together. I’ve just started fishing at 65.
Agree. 76 and back into it. Done the odd bit over the years with my sons. And a lot as a kid with my Dad. Weary enlightens us with his great vids and tuition . Love it. 👍😁
Wow, what a day. Just watching. Just watch your Dad, as we get older us oldies get cold quicker, used to laugh at my Dad , now I am he’s age realised we are not as tough as we get older. 🤝 Bit love the vid , you teach us a lot. Enjoy your comments. At least you caught . Still watching . Take care👍🤝
fantastic, beat the weather, beat a new venue, beat the fish and took your dad along too, you deserve the success, lovely watch in rubbish conditions. looking forward to the river Ribbel session you talked about. tight lines
Proper days fishing westy thats how we learned the art .watercraft ,mixing methods and seeing what they wanted .commercial bath tubs full of carp offer good sport ,but u may as well go to supermarket and lob a tenner at the fishmonger and buy one .
Hi Westy, the guy who you called the bailiff is Ian who owns the lodge, there is also a small tackle and bait shop as you come out, the water is full of decent fish of all species, some decent tench come out in the summer towards the top end, it's a cracking natural fishery, great videos keep it up 👍
Wow! Hope you didn't get too much stick from your dad for dragging him out in the rain! Great vid...... I always look forward to the next Westy's adventure!
Westy strikes again with the 8 mm wafters catching the carp . In that weather also thought it was bad working in it now and again cutting materials . But perseverance paid off for you . Well done
Nice to see some fishing thats not on a standard commercial rammed with fish! I tend to do more river fishing so i'm used to quiet spells and not knowing whats in there. Looking forward to more content like this 🙂
Great to see you and your dad enjoying yourselves in the rain ! 😅 still no day shelter then? You should get one of those hats that has a small brolly on top for you both lol great vid as usual, will look out for the next rainy day and will expect you to be out again☔️
@PaulsWest very true pal, you both put me to shame as I bottled out when I seen the weather so big up to you both 👍🎣🐟 hope your on the mend buddy 👍next trip out together i want to see Matt pushing you to your swim on the barrow, nothing too strenuous for you at the moment 😀 😊 😉
Hi mate great video and fair play to you and your dad in that weather and make the video for us too great 👌👍 the wife like watching them with me now too ...hope i win a cap if not next time 🤞🤞 we will still watch them
It's right when they say a change is as good as a rest eh mate, nothing wrong with trying the cage feeder,would like to see you and Dad having a day on the pike and perch wherever if Dad's ok with the weather,us oldies have to watch it in winter y'know.hehe
terrible weather hard water fair play to you both.unlucky to lose that carp but a nice one in the net . good to see your dad back on the bank .keep the vidios going mate tight lines all the best dave from brum
Love fishing lodges. Love fishing in the rain.....hate setting up and packing up in it though. Fished croft lodge the other day with nick, both had a cracking day
great vlog i think when weather is as bad as it was and bites are tough to come by you do try all tactics you can its so easy to have rods out don't change things just sit under the brolly good on you westy keep going cheers
Looks like a river with that far bank looking like that just without the flow. I thought that common looked about 15lbs close to my guess, great video again bud
What a great video...... and what do I see Westy clipping up! Cracking fish caught. But the real hero was your Dad. Just like my late Father hated fishing in the rain. Would just about tolerate it if he was set up, but forget if he wasn't. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Stay safe and thanks
Well done the pair of ya...terrible day but can't believe ya didn't have the shorts on (don't know why) but that was a pristine common,but can't expect nothing else than that in a natural water,glad it made the day,as the first part of the video was looking like a blank...well done 👍
Fair play to you for fishing in that weather. Looks a nice venue. Would be interesting to see you fish it another time in better weather… Lovely carp, and nice to see one without a damaged mouth like a lot of the commercials. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Hi westy it's dave tomlin just to let you know I had cast and stitches out hope to be fishing by February next year so please keep your videos coming this was another great video you and your dad take care
I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now and you’re the reason I started fishing I am 14 and I have started fishing matches and I love your videos keep it up 👍
Fancy saying "if I blank today" when the video thumbnail's got a whacking great carp in it! 😂 Nice one though Westy, I've just bought a big bag of those black magic pellets myself.
😂 killed the suspense there sorry mate ! Got to give people a reason to click on the video 🐟 They are really good those black magic pellets, the smell is unlike anything I have smelt before, like a fruity fishy smell 👍🏻
Hi Westy, New to using the clip. I am always afraid of clipping up and gettingg a fish that makes a dash. Love to get a notification of another one of your videos. Have never fished with a feeder yet, so learned a lot today. Thanks for that. Well done for braving the weather and I was pleased to see you were rewarded with some cracking fish. Barry
The clip is something I don’t really use in most situations unless it’s a big lake. Most of the time in commercials there is no need and can definitely lose you fish, you get a big carp on and it will just break you if you don’t get it out the clip FAST. There are benefits to fishing accurately but most of the time I like to try different spots and I’m happy to cast around until I find the fish then cast to that rough area. 🎣👍🏻
Omg that weather well done for braving that today westy ,bet your dad was fuming dragging him out in that 😂 tight lines till the next one , im hopeing to get a vid out friday ....
Hi Matt, armed with the knowledge of it being a bit of a Pike hole - I would have bought a few Supermarket sprats (& a bit of wire trace) for the sleeper rod, just for the novelty value & a change from the usual Carp.
nice common matt....natural venues are always tough..matt... but personaly there my fave waters as like the challenge... using ya watercraft to work it all out...and they have a bit of mystery about em....tight lines to you and ya dad ..until next time...
Another great video mate keep em coming.. try using distance stick when clipping up.. as you had to unclip on that big fish .. tight lines to you and dad
loved the video today, off with covid so what better to do than watch one of the best anglers on youtube. i think you should make a few more vids of specimen carp fishing for some bigger fish. see you soon
Great job dude, there is a place near me that I keep putting off as I k ow it is hard fishing 🎣 I thunk I just need to bite the bullet and give it a go 😁
Never heard of this fishery, but I’ll definitely be giving it a go. As you say, it’s good to try harder waters as you can hone/improve your general all round skills - after all, it’s called fishing not catching. As always, great video.👍🏻🎣
Used to be full of tench ,I’ve fished it in worse conditions than that .We had thunder and lightning one morning that hit the power lines that go over the lodge and it snapped the cable which proceeded to spark all day in the wet tree 😳😳probably not the best idea to have 13m of pole in my hands at the time😂😂
well done for getting out in this weather, im not brave enough to do so 😂.Keep up the amazing videos, and do you think you will be doing any pike fishing videos this winter
Love the videos mate, fingers crossed I win !

What a hero, I love fishing in the rain as long as I have set up before it starts lol
Westy strikes again with the 8 mm wafters catching the carp . In that weather also thought it was bad working in it now and again cutting materials . But perseverance paid off for you . Well done
Mate I don’t envy you working outside, not at this time of year anyway ☔️
Lovely weather for ducks , Westy fair play bro another decent watch 💯💦👍
Superb method changing until the carp appear well done
Well done in those conditions for the fishing AND the filming. Tough stuff to persevere with .

You 2 were much braver than me on this particular day 😂 the look on papa wests face 😂 as the saying goes, effort equals rewards buddy 👍🎣🐟
But only sometimes when it comes to fishing 😂
Unlike me huddled under the brolly . He made things happen and fully deserved the carp.🥰

"Start off with a small worm", funny, my wife says the same! :)
It’s not the size of the worm mate ! It’s how you wiggle it 🪱
Must be mad I take my hat off too you and your dad keep it up love your videos thanks westys
Love fishing lodges. Love fishing in the rain.....hate setting up and packing up in it though.
Fished croft lodge the other day with nick, both had a cracking day
Absolutely brilliant armchair fishing every time, love it
Awful to go in the rain crap weather you fish great video A1
I havent been fishing for about 5 yrs now, retirement is looming, and this review is giving me the urge to get the rods out again
I think it’s time David! The bank is calling
If it’s anything like my retirement David. I seem to have less time to fish. 😂😂
Well don Westy now that's fishing 🎣
great vlog i think when weather is as bad as it was and bites are tough to come by you do try all tactics you can its so easy to have rods out don't change things just sit under the brolly good on you westy keep going cheers
Rain around Manchester that's unusual 😂
😂😂😂
Looks like a river with that far bank looking like that just without the flow.
I thought that common looked about 15lbs close to my guess, great video again bud
What a great video...... and what do I see Westy clipping up!
Cracking fish caught.
But the real hero was your Dad. Just like my late Father hated fishing in the rain. Would just about tolerate it if he was set up, but forget if he wasn't.
Thoroughly enjoyed that.
Stay safe and thanks
Haha I remember as a kid him sat there begrudgingly taking me in the rain 😂☔️ I soon regretted clipping up when I got that carp!
Great work Westy! Tight lines😊
Well done the pair of ya...terrible day but can't believe ya didn't have the shorts on (don't know why) but that was a pristine common,but can't expect nothing else than that in a natural water,glad it made the day,as the first part of the video was looking like a blank...well done 👍
I do like my shorts 😂 I think In a lake like that if you aren’t on the fish it can take them time to find the bait
Love watching your videos ! As new fishermen my son & I have learnt a lot over the summer. Keep up the good work 🎣
Keep it up lads 🎣
Love that place..lovely place to fish ..very peaceful place to fish ..great video ..probably have to go then it’s better weather…🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠..
Fair play to you for fishing in that weather. Looks a nice venue. Would be interesting to see you fish it another time in better weather… Lovely carp, and nice to see one without a damaged mouth like a lot of the commercials. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

Hi Matt, armed with the knowledge of it being a bit of a Pike hole - I would have bought a few Supermarket sprats (& a bit of wire trace) for the sleeper rod, just for the novelty value & a change from the usual Carp.
Yes probably should have ! Just didn’t have time to pick up the gear only learned about the pike the previous day
nice common matt....natural venues are always tough..matt... but personaly there my fave waters as like the challenge... using ya watercraft to work it all out...and they have a bit of mystery about em....tight lines to you and ya dad ..until next time...
The challenge is good !👌🏻
Tough weather, but a nice carp! Keep em coming!
I can just picture the face on the salesman at the tackle shop, when I say to him, do you sell bags of shit bait. 😂
😂😂😂😂 that’s really funny !
well done ,both great effort
Another great video mate keep em coming.. try using distance stick when clipping up.. as you had to unclip on that big fish .. tight lines to you and dad
Should know from my videos that I’m way to lazy of that level of accuracy 😂 tight lines buddy
If you want somewhere natural then try Vernans lodge just off factory lane in Preston.
Will check it out thanks buddy
What a place and what a lousy day weather wise .any fish that day was a triumph.
Looks like you were the only guys there? I would have stayed at home in the dry with a nice hot drink and watching Westy videos.
Yes it was just us idiots 😂
Great video
Great video again Westy, keep them coming.
Always worth going in the rain, top angling 🎣👌
Lovely carp in tough conditions. Can't beat sleeper rod . Great video as always.
loved the video today, off with covid so what better to do than watch one of the best anglers on youtube. i think you should make a few more vids of specimen carp fishing for some bigger fish. see you soon
Big compliment thank you very much Max !
@@WestysAngling love bro💙
Great job dude, there is a place near me that I keep putting off as I k ow it is hard fishing 🎣 I thunk I just need to bite the bullet and give it a go 😁
Do it ! Challenge yourself , you may be rewarded like I was
Well done Westy. A hard water never fished before, yet you come away with bream and carp. Top angling my friend.
Never heard of this fishery, but I’ll definitely be giving it a go. As you say, it’s good to try harder waters as you can hone/improve your general all round skills - after all, it’s called fishing not catching. As always, great video.👍🏻🎣
I love fishing in the rain and loving the videos as always 🎣🎣🎣
Me too buddy ! ☔️ I always feel like it’s better fishing too !
Lovely video! Awful to go in the rain but so rewarding when you get a fish
100% … rain isn’t so bad, it’s when you get wind AND rain that it becomes uncomfortable 😂
Well done Westy, great video and already looking forward to the next one. Keep them coming !!
Something exciting for next week if I manage to edit it in time 😁🎣
Well done Matt ,no wonder your dad was fuming with you absolutely terrible weather 😂😂
😂😂
Nice carp by the way 👍
Used to be full of tench ,I’ve fished it in worse conditions than that .We had thunder and lightning one morning that hit the power lines that go over the lodge and it snapped the cable which proceeded to spark all day in the wet tree 😳😳probably not the best idea to have 13m of pole in my hands at the time😂😂
😂 definitely not ⚡️
Rather you than me in that rain 🌧️
Well would if there is anywere you Would recommend for a 24 hour session around the Manchester Bolton Preston way?
Rarely comment on videos, but got to be in it to win it
Definitely! It’s random so just as much chance on anyone else ! I don’t comment on UA-cam videos I watch either 😂
I didn’t know you liked WET WET WET soo much! Lol
well done for getting out in this weather, im not brave enough to do so 😂.Keep up the amazing videos, and do you think you will be doing any pike fishing videos this winter
I think so buddy 🐊

Nice weather for ducks 😂

Think you should try fish for Pike there when the rest of fish gone quiet soon :D
Nice Carp at the end, gutted about the other one. Cracking video Westy!
Thanks Matey ! I know me too 😭 yes deffo some dead baiting there !
