very good float tips,all of the TAFishing back catalogues show us in in-depth ways about floats, all i can say is go back and watch the video's from the start of TAFishing broadcast you guy's are truly awesome. oh and always wear a floatation device when rock fishing it could buy you time.
great video ! love sliding floats use them myself all the time. only thing I would add is to use a bead between the sliding float and the weight as the weight will break the float over time otherwise.
went sea fishing for my first ever time yesterday normally catch carp ect never fished the sea. went on the pier no one was catching me first cast big mackerel bout pound then later on got big 2 lb one was only out 3 hours
oh yess i had a 2lb tes curve carp rod with sea reel and line, used 3 ounce lead the mackerel faught harder than most big carp ive recently caught. i heard they were hard fighting but never thaught they would go like they did. im glad i had my sea reel with the thick line
etclarke I agree I find mackerel on a 5.5 light rod with strong line light drag grate dune in Clearwater water thay see u that run disadvantage is if they get to weed but a strong drag get my lobster pots full
love your videos ,very informative well put together for you tube and nice to just sit back and fish with you ,thanks for doing these much appreciated , Ant from Aberystwyth wales
What I do when float fishing is to use a bead but pass the line through the bead twice so you end up with a loop around the bead then just set the bead to the depth you want, simple, job done
If u ever do drop fishing for mackerel from a boat 🚣 I would suggest white feathers or white feathers with blue streaks or little white rubber prawn imitation with a glittery tail/trail it works wonders for me
I once slipped on the rocks like those.. broke both my elbows at once. ruined the next two months!! not to mention my fishing reel I snapped.. 17:13 pahaha also I flyfish mackerel feathers from Llandudno when its calm. always great there!
Great video. I could do with some tips. went down to Devon last week and went sea fishing for the first ever time off the shore. I was using a lure to fish because the guy in the tackle shop said they would work. got a jelly sand eel type lure and a spinner. Went fishing a few times and caught nothing. I've only ever done like fishing with lures and never on a river or moving water. Not sure if I was doing something wrong or was told a load of crap so I'd buy the lures at the shop. I'll be going back down next month and would like to be able to actually catch something this time.
Graeme, would you mind if i called you Dad? Love both TA Fishing and Outdoors, Im nearly as old as you but have just moved to Fowey Cornwall, so my first opportunity to Sea fish, having grown up in East London. I find both your Fishing and your Boy's, Bushcraft video's a joy to watch and a total Education. Thank you so much for showing me all the aspects of a ToTal Better Way of Life. Thank you all, including Jack, the Jack Russell. More on Ferreting, with a Lurcher, for Rabbit, would be ToTally Appreciated!!!! If ever near Fowey, Please Let me know. All the Best and Happy New Year 2018 ! Ray Fraser
Many years ago I believe a lake in Dorset had them. I am guessing they were smallmouth Bass rather than Largemouth which when I fished them in America tolerated lower temperatures better.Don't know what happened to the Dorset stock though.
Yes it did seem a bit strange, especially coming from someone as experienced as Graeme. However what I think he means is that the tide sits at or around the high water mark for about an hour, before it starts to retreat rapidly (and vice versa).
The "local" gave me the tide times,which were way out.He probably just made a mistake looking at the card and got his dates wrong.I should have checked myself, just thought the local would know better.
They ran for about a week and a half about 2 weeks ago (here in Weymouth) and were expecting them back any time soon, SOONER the better for me, lovely eating

13:00 - Only in the UK do we mix imperial and metric measurements with such great abandon.
Same in Australia mate

Did you just crawl in and crawled back out for the camera. Dedication! 👏👏
Some favorite fishing, off the docks.
Good fun, and those were some feasting size mackerel.

Imagine if they reached double figures! They'd be classed as a proper sport fish.

Great vid as always though guys! 👍
The Lord works in mysterious ways...
I love float fishing in the sea from piers and jetties.
What I do when float fishing is to use a bead but pass the line through the bead twice so you end up with a loop around the bead then just set the bead to the depth you want, simple, job done
I get so excited when I see an upload I know it's going to be good before I even watch it keep up the good work🌊🐟🎣
Smelt are great for big Bass I had a few off pier near the I.O.W great fishing place where no one want to venture when its dark

Great fishing u need to try porthkerris the mackrel there are monsters!!! The smallest we had was 30cm
Brilliant video Graeme, shame the weather wasn't a bit better mate
If u ever do drop fishing for mackerel from a boat 🚣 I would suggest white feathers or white feathers with blue streaks or little white rubber prawn imitation with a glittery tail/trail it works wonders for me
lol those r good sized mackerel. plus those needlefish are always impressive looking haha
I once slipped on the rocks like those.. broke both my elbows at once. ruined the next two months!! not to mention my fishing reel I snapped.. 17:13 pahaha
also I flyfish mackerel feathers from Llandudno when its calm. always great there!
Thank you Sir. Your video is really informative. I have learnt a lot from you.
Apps ,computer's, in my day we got a Tidetabel from the tackle shop relevant to the area, in my case Bridlington LoL !!!!!!

We fish there every week this is a surprise but Graeme you have given our favourite wrasse mark away!!!
Callum Duncan Well, not my favourite Wrasse mark... we'll have to try for mackies and stuff soon!
Brodie Phillips yeah true? haha

dear sir, can modern day fishing still use the old rubber dubby bag over the side sea fishing for shark,ect.
Absolutely !!!....and other species ...not just shark.
Great fishing videos so much detail and information thxs
Hi Graeme love your vids thanks for the effort,I was told once that mackerel don't survive capture once you release them,any ideas how true this is?
Thanks
Really interesting & informative Graham ☺ I could spend hours learning from you (I am kind of) I'd love you to take me fishing, great video ☺ 👍
We need more kids fishing cause that's all I do as a kid
Fishing Central i got the bug when i was 4 and I'm now 14 Its a drug to me
Tom Broadbridge yeah I started getting in to it when I was 5 I'm now 12
Do u have instagram
Tom Broadbridge yes
I could be wrong but that last smelt-like fish might have been an Atlantic Silverside
Great video
can you use freshly caught fish as chum ? say if their belly hooked and you have to kill them ?
Yes,you could either cube them up,or mince them fine and add either sand (to make it sink deeper) or bran.
I know pwndennis point but where were you ay 30.59 on video? was that Greenbanks? ,,only i find it hard down at pendennis point
I have a tough question for you is there any particular reason why we do not have freshwater bass in this country as they do in America
Many years ago I believe a lake in Dorset had them. I am guessing they were smallmouth Bass rather than Largemouth which when I fished them in America tolerated lower temperatures better.Don't know what happened to the Dorset stock though.
Can you use bubble floats to?
Should have been taking those mackerel on spinners and feathers
super fishing I like all your videos
So what is better high or low tide?
Depends on the area you fish.I personally like either early flood or from the top of the tide for two hours down.
My wrasse and Pollack mark lol
I like your videos but how did you not know there was a daily difference in the tide times?
Yes it did seem a bit strange, especially coming from someone as experienced as Graeme.
However what I think he means is that the tide sits at or around the high water mark for about an hour, before it starts to retreat rapidly (and vice versa).
The "local" gave me the tide times,which were way out.He probably just made a mistake looking at the card and got his dates wrong.I should have checked myself, just thought the local would know better.
Nice video as always Graeme. I want to hit the south coast for some smooth hound fishing in the next few weeks. Any hints and tips on locations etc?
Steve Bushell Dover and deal got some nice smooth hounds atm 👍🏼
xReddox cheers buddy. not far from me so I'll have a crack
My local marks 👍🏻
Are mackerel in season in England ?
The One all summer
Even in the north of England they are in season, caught 20 massive ones the other day off a pier.
They ran for about a week and a half about 2 weeks ago (here in Weymouth) and were expecting them back any time soon, SOONER the better for me, lovely eating
Thanks everyone I'm located in the north so I will go fishing as soon a possible :)
Hi where in the SW were you fishing?
