As a former match angler in the southern region of England, and a bass professional here in America, I am now returning to my roots, and your energy and video compilations are perfect for an old guy like me, getting back into coarse fishing. I hope to be able to teach more of the youngsters here about that style of fishing, which produce numbers of fish, and keeps the youngsters interested and attentive.
Keep up the good work.

Been trying to figure out the tiny components and types of knots of the method feeder from other videos but they weren't making it clear enough for someone like me who don't know the lingo. Then I saw this...
These videos are the best !

Thanks for a brilliant tutorial. Watched it last week and tried it out this morning in a very heavily fished local pond. For a couple of years I'd heard about a mythical 30lb monster that's almost impossible to Turns out that it liked a small krill pop up on the bolt rig method, you described. Fished it tight to the reeds in shallow water with a mixture of sonus hemp and krill method mix ground baits.

Two rods, two casts, and two carp in two hours.... 20lb, equaling my PB and 30lb smashing my

I owe you big time!

Oh to be young again. Lol! I'm buzzing for you guys! Your vids are top notch & your tutorials are clear & precise. The fact is I have watched many videos made by older & more "experienced" anglers that just aren't as clear, concise or easy to follow as yours. Keep up the good work. As for adding my own little tip when using a method feeder I begin mixing my feed with condensed milk then finish off with water if needed. This has got me some pretty astounding results & is worth giving a go to see if it can make any difference to your catches. All the best & tight lines lads.

Excellent tutorial. I tried method feeding for the first time on Friday and got on really well with it, I am new to fishing and your videos really help with learning new skills. Thanks and keep up the good work.

My first carp and my first big fish landed on my first method feeder session. Well... it was only around 6-8lbs but for me it was huge. So I wanted to say big thanks to you guys for your tutorials. There is no better feeling than playing a fish that not really wants to be landed. And the best part of it when you can already see the fish fighting by the bank but its not yet in the landing net. I'm so excited for the new season. Best of luck guys.

I love method feeder fishing. My preferred way is Hybrid feeder fishing as the hookbait is in the Centre of your bait mix.
Another one thing I’ve discovered is when you got snagged too many times and you’ve lost your methods... (I lost 5 in a session). Yet I still had a 1.5kg of method mix. So I wet the mix just a bit more and used it with a ledger. Running lead, at the end with a longer hook length, instead of moulding the bait mix around the lead, I moulded it around the hook/hookbait. The result is basically having two sources of weight - the led and the bait mix. It acts the same as if fishing hybrid feeder or the Guru feeders with the clip which holds your hookbait in the middle. Every single hit was a bite, because the fish goes straight to your hookbait.

Another excellent tutorial. I am getting back into course fishing after over 40years so your videos are getting me up to speed on everything. Thanks.

[stevecollins]

Great channel for me, used to fish as a kid, now getting back into a whole new world of method etc.

[anthonyhollis]

Clearest demo vids on youtube clear information with no heavy sales techniques keep it up lads your onto something 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[psychodiagnostik]

Great video! I’m in the states and this is the most effective way I’ve found to catch carp here. I use a “pack bait” of oatmeal or panko with sweet corn, and 1 or 2 fake corn as hook bait. Works well and stays on the feeder in current.

At last! I've managed to find your new tutorial channel and first impressions are it's going to be a rip roaring success. I am a 62 year old angler whose been wetting a line for the last 54 years and I have never stopped learning new stuff. You pair Alex and Carl are a credit to our sport and I these days await your latest videos with eager anticipation. You can teach an old dog 🐶 new tricks and I'm the living proof. I've never been a carp angler per sa but I have hooked a few during my nightly adventures fishing for Bream, Barbel and Tench on my local stretch of the Thames. Following your tutorials I'm going to up the strength of the artillery and activley go looking for these river monsters that fight like demons albeit on one rod only lol Apologies for the epic post but I was getting a bit exited 👍🤗👍 Liked Subscribed and Notification Bell activated.

Awesome video. There is so much people in USA starting up carp fishing and videos like this are huge help

[serkan]

I am actually lucky because I live in a city that has the biggest dam in my country. Also my uncle has a privet dam with up to 30 40 kgs carp and 60 kgs catfish. I would like to thank you for showing this method in the most understandable way with good explanations. I am waiting for my feeder and I will test it. I really liked your content and I think it's really helpful and I really appreciate it.

[DC-uqck]

Love these vids. I go with rigs by people who have good experience and seem "normal" anglers. Love it

[MrAnderson]

Excellent tutorial lads!
Clear, precise and informative, for beginners and establish fishermen. 👏

When I fish the method feeder or any other type of semi fixed bolt rig fishing for that matter.I always use a rear grip rest and make sure the first eye of the rod is behind the alarm/rest.And of course make sure that the freespool is engaged on the reel.I've seen a few peoples rods dragged in over the years.The bites can be that instant and savage.Even a 5lb carp can pull a rod in.
