Stop watch or other when feeder fishing
- Thread starter Line Clip
- Start date
Got to be 'Zoom' Mick,.....'Skype' is soooooo yesterday!Zoom or Skype Mark ? Worked for me.
To the OP....I also use a stopwatch/watch to coordinate what the bite times my immediate anglers are to compared to my bite times to see if a pattern emerges to help me make tactical decisions to improve my catch/results etc....

Hey, you’re talking to someone who has their internet delivered by a horse and cart every fortnight here. We ain’t got Skype yet. I thought I was being trendy.Got to be 'Zoom' Mick,.....'Skype' is soooooo yesterday!

You’d need a stopwatch with months on if you were watching our Nicky.
. I’m in for such a good hiding.

Timepieces along with mobile phones have no place when fishing.
They do (especially timepieces) if you want to get home for dinnertime....

Never used stopwatch before on the River, did it today as i always use when commercial fishing, each bite was between 6-7 minutes. Had 6 bites 5 fish and exactly the same time. Interesting.

Why bother with a stopwatch?
Why not have a cooking timer?
At least the alarm bell will take our minds off of the swisssh... zeeee...splosh..beep beep.

I use a stopwatch always when feeder fishing since seeing a Steve Ringer video six or seven years ago.
On stillwaters I'd be lost without one now as I find it a great discipline, especially as I am useless at guessing times! I do find that a pattern often does develop in bite times. However the stopwatch is purely a guide as instinct, observation and line bites all go into the mix.
On river I find it less important but do still use one at times.

I've ordered a stopwatch off ebay so it will be interesting to try and hopefully will get more use than the clicker I bought! I find though I am not bad at estimating the time of casts, at least I think so, and usually like to read the peg as to how often I should recast.

I reckon you are in for a shock. I thought I was good at guesstimating time. I was miles out.

Last time I went feeder fishing I had 4 fish the whole day, so checking the time on my phone, it must be half 2... checks phone and it's half 3... so potentially a useful addition.
