Fishing The Method Feeder For Carp & Tench At Cobble Acre Lakes - Part One
We got so much great footage we had to split it into three parts...
Once again another session after work saw us this time visit Cobble Acre Lakes in Norfolk. We decided to fish one of there match lakes and try and catch some fish on the method feeder.
Using soft pellet on the feeder and hard pellet as hook bait we enjoyed a fantastic session in the evening sunshine landing some nice hard fighting Carp and Tench.

Thanks very much for this awesome video! Really got me inspired for this weekend!
Carl
We actually went and fished the method feeder yesterday, it was so cold but by using a tiny feeder and putting 2 dead red maggots on the hook we caught 2 koi carp 2 bream and a goldfish! Crazy!
Carl
Great stuff, me too! :-) Good luck with the fishing and tight lines!
No worries Josh, good luck if you go down there.
Cheers Jim, glad you enjoyed it! Am not sure if Widget is fishing it or not, I will ask him! However I have a feeling the old boy could be getting too old now!! ;-) haha! Cheers
Nice video Steve, summers not long away not mate lets see what this year brings!!
GREAT VIDS AGAIN GUYS AS ALWAYS
Hi Josh, would take Pellet, Maggot and Corn, they will be your best bets. Fish soaked pellet in the feeder or some carpy ground bait, fish to the island or any feature (over hanging tree, reed bed etc) You should get a few fish.
Yes I know buddy, I cant wait! Had enough of this cold weather now!!! Roll on those warm summer evenings! :-)
Very nice video.
Thanks Carl, I cant wait untill the summer and we can fish in the evenings like this! However at the moment it seems a million miles away! haha!
Won a match with method feeder the tips really helped cheers
I just got all the bits to fish the feeder tomorrow
We have fished most of them at some stage, but a few years ago now!
Hi Andy, pellet and maggot are probably my favourite two Carp baits! Pellet when its warmer and they are 'having it', Maggots on cooler, harder days. Hope this helps.
You guessed it, it sure is! Also my favorite band, without a doubt. I used to live, breathe and sleep Oasis. Lucky enough to have seen them live too. I now follow Noel's band who I've also seen live. & sure I'll let you know how I get on. Going to an Albert water in Cheshire called Marbury Mere. Beautiful place.
Hi Josh, the lake is called Amy's lake, its the long thin match lake with the two islands in, its a great mixed fishery, with Carp, Tench, Roach and Ide in it, well worth a go! :-)
Thanks Matthew! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Thanks for the comment! Glad you found it useful! :-)
Great stuff Anthony! Thats a great catch of fish, glad you had a good day! :-)
Hi Matthew, am uploading the other two bits as we speak, they will all be online tomorrow. Hope you enjoyed it! :-) Cheers
HI Josh, it all depends on how many fish you catch, if you catch lots you will obviously be casting more and putting more feed into the swim. I would always make sure you take enough with you, as Pellet will keep for many sessions anyway!
Paddy byrne make sure it's not too wet or too dry if it's too dry it will crumble but too wet it'll slop make sure you can squeeze it into a ball and it doesn't slop out or powder out. If this doesn't work and your sure your baits fine try giving the back off the mold a little knock or try bending it but not too hard. If this still doesn't work sprinckle a small bit of dry ground bait in the mould before putting your method feeder in, this will allow it to slip out. :)
Nice tip with getting the water out of micros! Thanks
Hi Brrraaack, try the 2mm Sonu Baits Fin Perfect Feed Pellets, these are very good. If not any pellet that says 'micro' will be probably be around 2mm. Hope this helps.
Can't wait for summer fishing :)
Me too mate! :-)
love this
Going to try some Tench fishing next week. I'm thinking using a halibut pellet on a hair rig, size 10 barbless hook. Hook length about 4" long. Then use either a PVA bag with groundbait and small pellets or a little feeder. Looking forward to a day on the bank
Excellent vids. Some very nice fish. Is there a vid showing how to prepare or what pellets you using on the hook.
Thanks +Owen Houghton glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to comment. We haven't at the moment, but it might be something we can look into this year. :-)
Great stuff mate!!! Keep it up! Glad the video helped :-)
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it! :-)
Hello mate, the lake is called Cobble Acre Lakes, its in Hevingham, Norfolk. They do have a website... just google cobble acre, Hopes this helps!
Yeah the Aqualite is a lovely rod, in fact all Daiwa rods are very good and often a joy to use! :-)
IT WORKED! I mean, I know "it works" but IT DID! Got back into carp fishing after almost 20 years and I've been putting the hours in over the past 3-4 weeks. Yesterday I got a new rod, bairunner and picked up F1 liquid, semi boyant 7mm krill wafter pellets, method feeder, 2mm micros and baitbanded 4" hooklength. I headed to a commercial I used to fish when I was younger and honestly its teeming now!, the carp were boshing all over the place I couldnt believe it. Typically it started pelting it down with rain (Glasgow) and continued for at least 3 hours, I'm just starting to build my gear up and haven't managed to get a brolly or bivvy yet and soon learned the hard way that my "waterproof" trousers let the water seep in at the backside. So I'm sitting on the seat, theres fish smashing all around me, I've not had a nibble and now the entire back of my trousers is soaked to the skin :| I headed back to the car, took my overshirt off, folded and stuffed it down the back of my trousers like a giant nappy and headed back to the bank. Miraculously the rain completely stopped and less than 5 mins later the reel started screaming and I finally landed a dark gold 4 1/2lb common (F1?) Not my biggest but one of the most important man I have really worked for that fish..... and now I know how to get them. Your videos are awesome bro thank you.
Hi mate, thanks for the kind comments and for taking the time to post it, it's nice to hear some positive feedback! Glad you managed to catch a few and that you're finding the video's useful. :-) Tight lines and good luck for the next session. :-D
Hi mate, that will be fine for fishing the method feeder for big Carp, however it's a little heavy for the sytle we fish, quivertipping on a commercial fishery. Hope that helps.
Really good again lads! Just wondering if your fishing the national this month at lindholme or are you to old now??
Hi CoarseFisher15 yeah that is correct, usually for every 1mm of pellet used we would soak for 1 minute, so 2mm pellets 2mins, 4mm 4mins and so on. I mean once you've done one batch you'll sorta be able to guess and create softer/harder pellets, whatever you prefer using. Hope that helps. :-)
cheers mate, which one did you fish, because there is different names for the lakes there isn't there?
thankyou and thanks for the reply :)
Hi mate, yeah that sounds spot on, perfect for the job! :-) 6-8lb line would be ok too, but it's up to you, using 10lb won't do any harm! Good luck with the fishing, hope you catch a few! Tight lines.
Thanks for the comment, I under stand what you are saying, but to be honest when feeder fishing the only thing you need to should make sure of, is that you have an angle... As in an angle from rod tip to feeder, as this ensures you will definitely see any movement on the rod tip.
Hi, just watched your video series and found it very informative :) i'm trying the method feeder for the first time this week and after watching your video's i'm going with added confidence, I have one feeder rod which is the 12ft Shimano Antares medium feeder with a 2oz carbon tip, I'll be using 10lb main line with 30gr Korum Dura method feeders and the 4" 8lb Preston hair with band s14, bait mostly what you have used in the video. do you think this would be suitable for fishing the method?
great video and could I ask you a question? I have a drennan feeder and mould but the only problem is it doesn't have a button to release the mould. do you know how to get the groundbait out from the mould with out it breaking up?
Great video. I'm so into Carp fishing but Carp here in my Country (Mongolia) is little different. But i hope method feeder technique should work perfectly. Can you advise the source of equipments you use on this video?
I fished this peg a few weekends back and had some nice carp putting a method feeder to the point if the island didn't have any tench though :-)
Hi Josh, we buy them from a tackle shop, normally Angling Direct. :-)
Okay mate cheers
Okay cheers mate what baits do you reccommend?
Fantastic way of fishing love fishing on tip but my passion is on pole in the depths of winter for f1s hitting if what's or maybes
Can you prepare all kinds of pellets in the way you showed it?
Yeah I also used the press and mold feeder, i'm gonna use 2mm pellets can you talk me through the process that you do please?
what feeder rod do you prefer to use?
as i want something strong as i'm starting get into more method feeding fishing.
cheers.
Normally where I go to get my bait, I went to cobbelacre the otherday with groundbait and mixed pellets as hookbait, and i didn't catch that many fish next time I go i'm going to use soaked pellets, what do you think?
Hello again mate! if i was using 6mm pellets around the method, i would soak them for 6 mins right?x
Hello, please kindly reccomend some 2mm pellets for carp/tench/bream. I couldnt manage to find 2mm ones so far.
THanks!
Hello! Yeah, you can fish a method feeder with a baitrunner, its a perfect reel for the job! Switch the baitrunner on when your waiting for a bite, then if you arent 100% alert then there's no chance of the rod or anything being pulled in, as a savage bite will just pull a bit of line from the reel. Hope this helps, Cheers :-)
i would imagine that to be fine for most feeders as it is a quite beefy test curve
Hi mate cracking clips I've just got into method feeder fishing as from watching you and would just like to ask where can you get that f1 from and the pellet box cheers Jordan
Hi LuCKYBeARS 1 the pellet box we made ourselves, just got an old tackle box and filled it with Pellet. The F1 liquid can be purchased from most tackle shops, its made by Sonu Baits. Hope that helps! :-)
Have you fished any other lakes at cobelacre?
hi mate, thanks for the vids man real helpful. i live in norwich and going to this lake soon, what lake is this filmed on, in the cobble acre complex? Also recognised you in the angling direct store in norwich haha
No worries at all +Sam Haze glad you are enjoying them! :-) Yeah this is on the Cobble Acre complex, it's the middle lake with the two islands, believe it's called Amy's lake.
Great stuff, those tactics sound spot on, hopefully you'll catch some nice Tench! Let us know how you get on! P.S Is your name an Oasis reference? If so top, top band! My all time favourites! ;-)
Hi mate! I really enjoyed this video. I also started to fish with the method and i catched a lot of bream carp and tench but most of them arent bigger than 4kg (about 8 pound i guess) but i had some really nice fish gone becouse of the line clip. When a bigger carp or tench takes a run and the line comes to the line clip the line breaks in a second and my fish is gone :/ Please, tell me how are you dealing with the line clip?
Sorry for my English grammar, greetings from Netherlands :)
Hi Oskar, all the way over in the Netherlands! :-) Ah don't worry, your English Grammar is better than my Dutch! :-) Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for taking the time to comment. To be honest reference your line clip question there is no real answer and when you fish a line clip you are always at risk from big fish. If it keeps happening and the water is mainly stocked with big fish then I wouldn't use one, unfortunately there's no real way round it!
How much pellets do you think i'd need for a days fishing?
Hi mate, I know everyone will have there own preference with tackle shops etc But we personally use a company called Angling Direct. I cant post links in here, but if you google them you should find there website ok. Hope this helps. :-)
WHEN ARE U UPLOADING THE REST
This video made me start fishing with the method feeder. I've had some great succes catching bream and tench. However everytime I have a session i always catch 4-5 fish at the start, and then my swim just stops producing. Sometimes I can still see bubbles and i get small taps on the rod top, but no bites. Any tips or clue as to why this happens?
Hi Otto, glad you enjoy our videos and find them useful! :-) If you catch 4-5 fish straight away and then it goes quiet, try casting around your swim a little bit. Often you'll pick up a few fish and then they will move/scare. If you cast to a different area you may pick up another 4-5 fish, then they might move. Sometimes it's a case of exploring your swim and picking off fish as and when they are there. That's the great thing with a method, if there's fish in the area it's almost instant. Hope this helps.
Yeah I would give the soaked pellets a try, altho just as important is swim choice and rigs... try fishing a small method feeder cast to the island with soaked pellet, you should land a few fish then! :-)
hello mate, what is that lake called that you fished on?
how much should my rod bend when casting? slightly?
could you method feeder fish with a bait runner?
Will 3m pellets be okay to put on the feeder?
The process we use you can see in the video, its probably easier to watch it than to explain it. Cheers
Good video mate have you ever been to Aldin grange
Thanks mate. No we haven't I'm afraid.
Hi CoarseFisher, yeah your rod should bend slightly. Basically it should feel comfortable, as long as your feeder matches the strength of the tip you are using you will be fine! :-)
Where do you buy your pellets?
What do you think.of alex's lake?
I don't know! It's our most popular form of fishing! I guess you could ask the same question as to why some people take Golf, or Football so seriously. It's whatever makes you happy! :-) As long as you get what you want from your day's fishing then its great, however seriously you take it.
Hi I going to be doing this on Saturday but with a small water will if float away?
Yes mate, definitely.
Hello there. What is the make of your seat box
Hi Shania, it was a Fox seatbox, however they're aren't available anymore.
is ten pound line too heavy if im targeting medium sized carp say 5- 10 pound . also should my hook link be lighter than my main line. please help . am goin on sunday and wanna catch at least a couple. PEACE
joseph pablo use 8lb line with a 9lb hook link when carp take the bait their head shake can often brake light hook lengths
I was wondering, in your opinion, is the method feeder more effective than the banjo feeder?
Hi TJ, they are both very similar really and use a similar principle, apart from the fact the banjo is a slighty different shape and offers less feed. In my fishing I use a method feeder in the summer and a banjo feeder in the late autumn/winter. Hope this helps.
hi there, i was wondering what seatbox you are using in this vid?
Hi Sam Haze I believe it's an old Fox box Steve is using. I don't think they are available anymore though.
Do you think 700g would be enough for a day?
should of added the attraction after the pellets had absorbed the water that way you don't dilute it? or is that just me??
Hi mate, you could do that yeah. :-)
Pesca al método la mas eficaz
I know this vid is old but how or were do u get ur coloured hook baits or how to you do them ur self
Hi James, I've just collected lots of different baits over the years and added them to a tub. :-)
so are they different flavours
caught 30 + carp on the method at mill pond fazeley no lie
Hey I just brought a daiwa black widow 3,25lb test curve please tell me that's fine for method feeders
TheFatGamer IzBack 😂😂😂
which method feeders are you using
Hi brian may I'm not 100% sure what Steve was using. I think they may have been the Preston ones, however I think he uses the Drennan ones now.
Are they fake or real pellets
Hi Sea Fisherman they are real pellets :-)
rod length?
10-11ft I think Roman.
this was recorded with vacume cleaner
Haha. No an iPhone mate, many many years ago now. Check out some of our newer videos, they're filmed better!
Needs to be louder
Yeah it does Callum Carpenter it was filmed years ago on an iPhone, our latest video's are now filmed on a proper camera and should be better :-)

Could you do a bloodworm and joker video?
No! DNgrroid

There wasn't enough information in the vid to help beginners.
Sorry mate, hopefully some of our newer videos might help. 😊
Q lixooooo! de video
Why do people in the UK take carp fishing so seriously?
