    My first day out fishing with feeder

    Hi Twist,

     

    looks like you live near me! I've not been over to Goldsworth Park this season, but was interested in fishing it so I e-mailed the council and they sent me a HUGE pack of stuff with lake records, a lake map (with depths, very useful) and other goodies. If you want any more info, PM me. I'd like some more mates to go fishing with too xD

    Damn when I emailed the council they just told me what fish were in the olake and how much a day ticket was. How annoying. I have emailed them again to ask for a pack, hopefully they will send me one.

    As Rusty has said your feeder is good for maggots alone but if you want to use grounbait or a groundbait/maggot mix then you need an open end feeder. For 6lb line yours looks pretty thick, what make is it. Also I'd use a smaller duller bead or a ledger clip so you can just swap your feeder for a different one or a lead.

     

    Thanks tigger. Not sure what make of line its a cheap nasty one I know that. I have a snap swivel on that setup so can changed feeders fine. Are cage feeders any good for lake fishing?

    Good evening all. Had my first time feeder fishing yesterday with quiver tip. At Goldsworth park lake in Woking. Unfortunatly I caught 0 fish and only had two decent bites the rest were very little nudges. I know somedays you will catch nothing but I feel like as it was my first time I would like to describe what I did and get any hints tips pointers from you guys on here that could improve my prospects :)

     

    Set up with my new 12ft feeder rod and reel with 6LB line. My hooklength was about 8 inches and I had a block end feeder. Basically what I did for a practice setup recenty picture here:

    I did have a bigger feeder on.

     

    For bait I had some basic groundbait I bought from the local tackle shop its named Silver X (I did not add anything to this basic groundbait maybe I shoulf off?) and I also had mixed maggots. I mixed the groundbait up in a bowl with some maggots and then a chucked a couple of balls out to where I was planning to fish for the day. I then filled my feeder up and cast out to the spot, I waited a few minutes then brang it back in everything was still intact and groundbait had gone. I did this about five more times to make sure there was a good amount of groundbait out there. Then I filled up the feeder again with the mix of groundbait and maggots and put one red and one white maggot on the end of my hook and cast out perfectly to the spot and put the rod down on the rests and waited patiently for about 15 minutes then I brang it in and repeat this throughout most of the day. Now during the day doing this the quiver had a few quick nudges to it but it did not seem enough to strike? Maybe I am wrong as I am new to this? But also during the day twice the quiver tip bent round loads! and twice I must of missed the bite as I striked and no luck :(

     

    I still had an enjoyable day and I think I learnt a fair bit but like I say above is there anything in this description I am doing wrong or anything that can make things better :)

     

    Thanks for taking your time to read this everyone :)
