Question on method feeding

[madmax1975]

Hi all,

When feeder fishing, how often would you recommend leaving it before reeling in and re filling the feeder ( in line method )

[poledark]

It's always worth squeezing a ball of mix and dropping it in the edge. Watch how long it takes to breakbown.

 

Another tip is to make the centre of the feed really stiff, and put "softer" stuff around the outside, that said, I would not leave it more than 40 mins.

When i first start a session or match on the feeder i start with very regular casts. every 5mins or so. this gets a bed of bait out there and also creates noise to attract the fish. also it gets you into a good casting rhythm to improve your accuracy.

then once i feel i have a good bed of bait down i will spread the cast out a bit. say every 10 to 15 minutes. as has been mentioned how you mix your bait and the depth your fishing does pay a part in it all. dryer mixes break down fast and work best in shallow water. where wet mixes are needed to get the bait down into deeper water and so take longer to break down off the feeder. remember when you reel in your feeder it should be empty.

 

There is no hard and fast rules really. If i am getting indications on the tip i might just sit on my hands and wait.

Once you have a good bed of feed down and have the fish competing its not uncommon to catch fish 'on the drop' i have had the rod rip right round before i have even put the rod back onto its rest and tightened up to the feeder. when its going really well on the feeder the bites are so fast the feeder often comes back loaded.

All,

 

River or still water? Is "every" successful angler's technique generally the same? Lastly, are you talking about all cyprinids?

Roobz I'm as lost as you with that last bit from Phone

madmax,

 

Well it's no fun if you can't understand the question(?) ""River or still water? Is "every" successful angler's technique generally the same? Lastly, are you talking about all cyprinids?. "" Let me try again.

 

Are you going to fish in a canal (based on your other "canal fishing" thread) for cyprinids or some sort of predator species?

 

I don't believe the UK has very many techniques or methods for angling individual species. (If you fish for "X" you do "y") How many options do you have, personally? Are you able to flyfish, trot, stationary fish?

 

Your question was, "how do you feeder fish". I thought it was a bit smart-arce of me to say, "with a feeder".

Phone, It has to be said.... You is madder than a bag of frogs, but i like ya! On Wednesday I'm going down the local canal with a float road, worms and maggotts and maybe some bread. I'd love to be catching a few colourful beaut Perch, but to be honest I'd be glad of whatever chooses to clamp it's lips round my hook ( oo - er ! )

My question on how to feeder fish was just a general one to see how different peeps do it.
