Thanks I am new at pole fishing and I have just ordered a 10 m margin pole I have decide to tie my on pole rig that I know what shoting patterns to use thanks to Jamie and the funny lad

[neilgraves]

Love the tutorials of in my opinion the finest anglers on the bank . Thanks very informative .

[mickrudd]

Jamie I tried your shotting pattern at Partridge yesterday, on an margin mud line and was amazed at how quick fish vacate the swim know lifting in involved . Thanks for that idea

[jasonlaverty]

Brilliant tips as always chaps. Cheers n beers!

[gregbiddle]

This is the reason I miss so many bites when I'm fishing a foot from the bank. Thanks Jamie.

andy @ jamie you are the dogs bollicks love watching you two lads

[tonyholdsworth]

Thanks Jamie got that like you it drives me nuts. Stay safe

Great Video as always! Just a quick question - Like the Larford Video are you pluming 4 or5 inches over depth on the rig where you can't get up against the bank to achieve the curve in the line?

[chris]

Where I fish it's about 4 foot in the margins and I always catch far more by feeding regularly with 4mm pellets and fishing with a light float on the drop rather than anchoring a bait to the deck. I never get line bites while fishing the margins this way and they take the bait far more positively too. It works for me. Obviously you'd struggle fishing this way in margins that were less than 18 inches deep.

Mega video guy keep the content up and cant wait for the challenge.💪

Have you considered using a short length of tungsten tubing on the base of the float stem to reduce the number of shot on the line - reducing the float from carrying 8 No 8s to 5 or 6 instead? The tubing would also increase the stability of the float, as a wire stem would. Around 15mm of tungsten tubing could be the same weight as a couple of No8 shot.

[tonyholdsworth]

Jamie so if the depth is 18” you are fishing in do you just add another 6” to get that ark . Great job on all you and Andy’s blogs.

[blueeyedbrothers]

And will there be a free live video coming at bradshaw hall fisheryies or partridge?

[daisybates]

Could you do a live match video at Bradshaw Hall fisheries or Partridge plz for everyone thx

[glennmallinson]

Jamie, how are you plumbing this rig up? Dead Depth or last dropping shot on the deck up or do you you allow for the bend ?

[robnicol]

have you lovely guys tried using fjuka baits could you so a review and let us know thanks lads

[stevemccrory]

Are we going to be getting an "open-water" one too?

[poodle]

AGGGGH, I need to change all mi edge rigs now!👍

[Darrenb]

Not what I was expecting. Thought it would explain the different shotting patterns that are out there. Not just for margin fishing.

[JeffOrtega]

Thanks for sharing and explaining the methods guys all makes sense and can see why we make simple mistakes. Just to ask like at Heronbrook where it's deep across could this method would work too
