Went down onto Bournemouth Pier on friday to see the fireworks and saw lots of guys fishing for mackrel off the pier. Now the boy has a half decent rod I'm planning to take him down there one evening.

We tried feeder fishing yesterday for the first time, we are slowly getting the hang of it..

 

Anyone method feeding?

yeah i fish the method on the local carp ponds. absolute frenzied activity as soon as it hits the bottom. thing is you have to ignore all the attacks on the feeder and line bites and hold out for that full take on the hook bait.

 

I generally use a bag of sonubaits ready mixed bait and just add water on site. hook bait i use red maggots or actually sweetcorn seems to give me the best results over the method mix

I used the Method all last week, with a short hair ring and luncheon meat.

Had a fish all day. Little and often does the trick for me.
