Swimfeeder Fishing

[Bally]

Oh yeah........ before you tie on your stop knot/marker, make a couple of casts with an empty feeder until you hit the spot you want to feed. When you've hit the spot, tie your stop knot about a foot beyond the tip ring and the reel in. Make another couple of casts with an empty feeder to get the feel of the marker. Once you're confident about hitting the same spot, its all systems go with the feed.

 

He he he. Its easy writing down, isn't it!!!

Sorry Pete, I've just said almost exactly the same as you. I wasn't copying.... honest!

 

 

I must read the whole thread before I reply.

Hi Bally, no problem. Every description carries a bit more information and helps to hammer the point home.

What lake are you fishing Leeds as I might be able to help baits and methods etc. (is it shearwater??)

And some say feeder fishing is a lazy way of angling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Leeds, if you do manage to get some open end feeders and cast accuratly and get the fish feeding here's a good tip for everyone :

 

One you get a shoul of bream feeding or even wised up carp and catch a few they may shy away from a feeder of any sort.

If you have been catching and bites dry up try switching to a straight bomb for 2 or 3 casts but you must switch back to a block/open ended feeder on the 3rd / 4th cast to keep bait going in.

 

Just remember a bomb will go like a missle compared to the feeder so you wont have to put so much effort into the cast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
