Feeder Fishing

Feeder fishing has become very popular recently for bream, roach and carp. Below are a few steps which can improve your next feeder fishing outing.

• Make sure the distance from the hook to the feeder is quite close, so the bait from the feeder encourages the fish to bite your hook!
  
• The rod should be positioned at about 45 degrees to the side for the best bite indication when using a quiver tip.
  
• If you do not have a quiver tip rod, 'feeling' the line for tugs is a very accurate method.
  
• Change the contents of your feeder. You could use groundbait, worms, maggots or sweetcorn.
  
• Change the hookbait, and make the size of it appropriate for the size of fish you are fishing for. IE when being pestered by small fish, try using a big hookbait.
