Expert Opinion
Winter feeder fishing around Liverpool currently demands careful preparation due to the cold temperatures and intermittent rain. Vladislav’s winter feeder tips are particularly valuable this week:
Groundbait
- Prepare groundbait indoors to keep hands warm and mix well.
- Opt for dark-coloured groundbait, with red or black blends preferred in turbid waters common after rain.
- Combine cold water feeder mixes with red bream blends and add vanilla aroma plus maggots for attraction.
Live Ingredients
- Limit live bait usage; fish metabolism slows in winter.
- Use maggots and bloodworm sparingly, sieving coarser particles to 0.2mm for slow feeding.
- Add micro-pellets to encourage bite without overfeeding.
Rig Setup
- Use size 16 hooks and light main lines of 12-14lb for subtle presentation in cold water.
- Smaller rig diameter helps avoid spooking wary winter fish.
Baits
- Best baits include white and red-orange maggots, bloodworm, and worms as backup.
Swim Selection
- Avoid exposed windy spots; fish near natural windbreaks such as trees or structures.
- Steer clear of areas with ice buildup and target depressions or holes where fish will shelter.
Tactics
- Focus initial casts on locating riverbed holes and introducing groundbait to attract fish.
- Adjust hook length and size when targeting larger species such as carp or tench.
- Learn from previous anglers' experiences at your swim for better results.
Conclusions
This week in Liverpool offers solid opportunities for winter coarse fishing despite challenging cool and wet conditions. Adjust your tactics as advised and focus on sheltered swims during windy, rainy periods. Persistent roach, bream, tench, and perch can be expected, with pike also active in the rivers. Remember to prepare your groundbait and rigs carefully at home. For more local insights and to share your catches, join the angling chat tailored to Liverpool anglers.
