first time on method feeder and new PB

[Mark bettsy Talk Angling User Find all posts View Profile Close Mark bettsy]

after getting back into fishing, i decided i was going to use a different method other than float.... so had a crack at the method feeder, resulting in my biggest bream.... Now to some of you guys in sure these are babys. but to me the smallest was my PB untill they started getting bigger... 1 @ 4lb,3oz, 1 @ 4lb,7oz,and the new PB @5lb,9oz..

very pleased with the "new start"

Welcome to the forum you certainly kicked off with some good fish.

I don't know about snot towel, think a beach towel would have been more appropriate... :-)

Nice one Mark.
I've yet to hit a bream school, but had one on the feeder before. Lovely method for catching them (tip went mad for me).

They can be a real pain on my water,we have had up to 20 in a session on boilies(averaging 5lb) but if you do the same on the tip,its cracking days sport.
