Your videos are and will remain at the top of my list for two reasons . Relaxation and great information. No competition . Your work is well done and appreciated.
Great stuff Graeme, used to be a Lincolnshire area fisherman until the early 90's when circumstances have lead me to a new life in the USA since '93. Love the memories of course fishing and love your channel. Keep up the great work and stay healthy! Cheers!
I so look forward to Graeme's video's , some weeks it's the only fresh air I get. they always catch on TA fishing unlike me but I still enjoy trying. A match for for a pound lol surprised Graeme didn't beat him down to 50 pence lol.
i always have said to myself float fishing is the best of all the tactics :D ... but got my feeder rod ready for a 4 day holiday starting tomorrow; taking the cage feeder along with me along with lots of corn.
so peaceful with no music ... thanks for making some like that ,.... I was raised on tv fishing shows but now that music makes me often turn off,... like a spooky fish from a wire leader 😉.... u are such a pleasure to fish with ... thank u Graeme for sharing your life with us.... 🤙 tight lines mate!
Great Video again Graham top draw , Lots of good info and content... It really is a joy to watch these... always look forward to Fridays @ 7pm!! look forward to the next one !!! Nick .
Hello Graeme, do love roach fishing, your always so full.of.content, lovely video, I must return tonthe Thames.later.this year, thanks for making my lunch break interesting. :)
You find a lot of the best anglers in any discipline of the sport be it fly sea or coarse ,come from a match background they always think like a fish !. Ps a real top shelf video Graeme .
Hi Graeme, I used to fish competitively in the national leagues and the difference between how we fished in comps vs. how you approach a session is worlds apart, I'm not saying the match way makes for a more enjoyable session as it's pretty intense and stressful but it's what you've got to do to put a big weight together. You don't necessarily need fancy, expensive gear to succeed but you do need to be able to fish extremely accurately at times and spending a bit of money in the right areas can make that easier to do consistently. Accuracy is important, you want as many fish fighting for a place at your table and the smaller that table is, the more reckless they've got to be if they want to eat off of it. Having several feeding areas is fine if you know where they are but if you've been casting/feeding inaccurately then you're just reducing the chance that they'll be feeding on the area where the hook lies in wait. Speed is also important in a competition, everything needs to be to hand and ready to go when required, time spent with the hook out of the water is time wasted. You'll have hundreds of hooklengths and rigs tied up and ready to go, your bait prepared the night before, you'll be feeding the swim while landing a fish and the fish will be unhooked and dropped in the keepnet in a matter of seconds, a quick couple of checks to make sure everything's functional then back in the water ready for another one. If we're talking float fishing then you've got to be critical about float selection and how it's shotted, you can manipulate both how positive bite indication is and how the bait presents as it falls and once it's settled with simple changes. Simply cocking a random float with a random shot pattern and saying that'll do will catch some fish but if you want it to perform better then you've got to pay it some mind. What you're feeding and how you're feeding makes a huge amount of difference, little and often is generally the best bet in shallow water but you must pay attention to how the fish respond, in water over 7ft I would generally use small balls of groundbait to ensure it mostly reached the bottom where my hook bait was waiting. Corn, maggots, meat and bread will fall incredibly slowly which tends to make the fish move into the mid/upper layers to intercept, great if you're fishing up in the water but awful if you're hard on the bottom, a loose feed of hemp and pellet would get down there a lot faster. Where feeder fishing is concerned there is a whole mess of styles and approaches, there are also usually a whole bunch of stipulations regarding what you can and cannot use in matches so be careful with how you interpret information from the papers. For example there is a commonly hated 50cm hooklength rule on a lot of feeder comps, if you were to read of someones success in a competition where it said they used a 50cm hooklength on a running feeder to catch 200lb of carp in 5hrs then you might assume that this is the best way of doing it whereas if you asked the angler how they'd have like to have done it then they'd probably have opted for something way shorter and semi-fixed because it offers much greater efficiency and only fished long and running because those are the rules. Much the same as float fishing you've got to be able to read the conditions and adjust accordingly, every part of the rig from casting to hooking properties must be thought through and applied effectively. You've got to recast regularly and accurately to keep the food going in and keep them interested, even a big feeder is little more than a mouthful for a large single figure carp, if that's all thats out there then they're not going to hang around for long if the hookbait is missed on the first suck. In the summer on a well stocked commercial I'd start by putting 10-20 feeders full on the spot before attaching a hook link and then recast at least every 15mins regardless of activity. Using a far bank marker to aim for and the line clip on the reel makes accuracy a doddle, this said you will want fairly stout gear if you're fishing on the clip for carp as you can't let them run too far on the take. Bait is probably the biggest difference between you and a matchman. I know you love your cheap, simple stuff and there's no denying it will catch on its day but modern additives such as fishmeal make such a dramatic difference on commercial venues. Fish are raised on fishmeal pellets so they're basically a natural food source these days but that's not to say all pellets are great, understanding the different contents of a coarse pellet vs. carp pellets vs. krill pellets vs. trout pellets vs. halibut pellets (oil/protein content increasing from left to right) will help decide which is right for the occasion, size also plays a part but this is often dictated by the size of fish you wish to feed and how far you need to throw the freebies. It definitely takes some experimentation to find out which baits produce the best results, price isn't a guarantee of quality and you definitely shouldn't buy the most expensive gear just because it costs more but if you find something that gives you an edge then the price is essentially irrelevant. The main thing is getting the feeding right, you've got to give them enough to keep them interested but not give them so much that they can get fussy/choosey about what's on offer.
Hi I have just got back into fishing looking for tips on setups etc, best feeder rigs and tips on how to fish for particular fish where can I get the best advice from?
My son told me had a friend that soaked Deer corn for a couple of days, tied it up in a burlap bag and throws it over the side of the boat and it attracts fish from all around. It stinks so keep it in a cooler when transporting so it doesn't smell up your car. Enjoyed your video.
When you go to Watmore Fishery I always think that looks like such a big lake. I started fishing in the first lockdown, but only on small waters. Should I approach a large water the same way or is their a difference?
I was always told to keep the rod close to the water when method feeder fishing, but have since put the rods high and it does help bite accuracy! Thanks grandad gra 🤣
If I am going regular carping with say 2lb test curve rods I use 15lb I think,but just regular fishing I use 6lb,and still seem to hang on to most carp I hook as a bycatch to other species.
72 lbs. of carp. Man-o-man I could eat a week on that, Graeme. AND I'd have to have a camp stove, a cast iron fryer, a few pie plates with egg batter and corn meal. Mmmmm. Fried fish!
Hi Graham. I will be taking the lad fishing this season, he is 7 years and I am wondering if I will be better off getting a a small rod for him to use or if he will get on OK with the 11 and 13ft rods I have? Can you make any recommendations please? Thanks for the free videos, your passion really rubs off!!
Hi there, fish biologist here. Atmospheric conditions have no direct effect on coarse fish, there is hearsay that says fish come up in the water due to high air pressure affecting their swim bladder but this is not true as they can self regulate swim bladder pressure to suit whatever level they wish to sit at . The weather conditions typically associated with high pressure are clear skies, low wind and bright sunshine which will bring the fish higher in the water column simply because it's warm (fish are cold blooded and therefore rely on atmospheric temperature to define how well their internal processes run). They might not be right on the top if they see a lot of angling pressure or if the water is gin clear because they won't feel safe but they will be up in the water somewhere. The weather conditions typically associated with low pressure are clouds, rain and wind, during these conditions the water temperatures will be fairly even from top to bottom so the fish will have less reason to head to the surface layers. As such they will spend more time rooting around the bottom and being easier to catch using conventional tactics. In short, ignore the pressure and pay attention to the conditions.
@@TAFishing Years ago we tested several common species of coarse fish in a 6ft deep tank by sealing the top of the tank and using compressed air to alter the atmospheric pressure by both small (ie. as you'd get in real life) and large (beyond 2 atmospheres) amounts while isolating the variables (light levels and water temperature). The results of small changes were inconclusive, the fish showed no real change in behaviour or the common depths at which they were most commonly found. The reason for this is that cyprinids (ie. carp, roach, rudd, bream etc.) are physostomes meaning that their swim bladders are connected directly to the gastrointestinal tract (ie. the pipe from throat to arse) via a pneumatic valve. As such they can increase internal pressure by swallowing air and release excess pressure by burping in order to allow them to maintain neutral buoyancy at what ever height in the water they desire regardless of exterior pressure. When fishing in deep water at sea you may have noticed fish not being able to go back down because their swim bladders have expanded to extreme proportions on the way up, this is an example of the other type of swim bladder where there is no valve to the gut for relieving pressure quickly. These are what are known as physoclisti species. As previously mentioned there are more factors at play than just the pressure change in the real world. Anecdotal evidence is just that, without isolating the variables you can't draw a conclusion. Don't change your fishing plans based on the barometer (unless it's dropping like a stone in which case pack an umbrella), use your eyes and instincts to decide the best course of action when you get there. If you spend long enough looking they'll tell you how they want to be caught.
Been a massive fan since some of your earlier fishing vids.. Please can you do some fisheries near Manchester ?? Gawsworth specimen Lake? Without sounding silly how an earth do you know when the led hits the bottom lol from a cast I can never really determine it.. Also love the quiver tip its all I fish really!
jay ive fished gawsworth quite a few times always done better on the top lake nr bungalow had some cracking days fishing a top kit for rudd one a chuck then ive also had great sessions for chub and carp on chickpeas dipped in a glug a good place to fish as well as turners pool tight lines pal

Often Graeme mentions that polarized glasses provide a better view of the water. Would a polarizing filter for the camera let us see what he is seeing? I don't know cameras so apologies if that's a dumb question. Congratulations on the 200K subscribers!!!! Wonderful video this week as always!
Yes it would show on a camera,but I don't think I could look through a lens with my polaroids and see through the camera filter as well...Not sure if they do filters fore the small head cams.
GRAEME!!!!GRAEME!!!!!GRAEME!!! 10:52 two big carp just under your sweaty socks.GRAEME!!! GRAEME!!! GRAEME!!! 11:10 he came up and winked at you!!!!! So you where listening.
Hi Graham, I use Sweetcorn over a bed of hemp every time out, I am after silvers every trip, so far in this nice weather i have blanked 7 trips out of 8, I feel it is just a little early for silvers, usually i bag up on the method i use, spawning may be affecting my results so far. The nice weather may be giving us a false impression of the water that maybe is still a little cool for silvers, what do you think?
I do chuck in micro pellets with the hemp an so far ive had two Bream at just over 2lb each. I cook my own hemp with two table spoons of sugar, so far it has been a bit dire.
I am a little set in my ways, sweetcorn on a 14 kamazan animal, if they don't bite thats cool, when they do you can be guaranteed a better stamp of roach.
5 pints of maggots will sort that out and a maggot feeder or 4 kilo of micro pellet quarter kilo every half kilo every hour, over feeding always works for silvers
I was taught to match fish by a chap called Ian Heaps in the 70s not even he said chuck that amount of bait in. It must cost you a fortune just to catch a few roach, Me I use a tin of Green giant sweetcorn, a pint of hemp, a few hand full of pellets and a bit of groundbait, total cost per session about 3 quid. I won many matches in my time on the open circuit in the 80s, and usually i still bag up on the same tactics now.
Yes,I do have Bass near where I live...in the supermarket !!..unfortunately I live 50 miles from the sea...Don't really have a favourite fish,but I do like catching Barbel with a float.
No it really doesn't!! When frozen it always sinks, it's frozen which means it's holding moisture and is dense until thawed out. Don't know what corn you use but I've never ever had floating frozen corn
I love targeting roach at my local pond, it's full of larger and more exotic species but my word I love those little guys.
I STILL havent found any other fishing guy I like better than you, Graeme!
Your videos are and will remain at the top of my list for two reasons . Relaxation and great information. No competition . Your work is well done and appreciated.

I am a little set in my ways, sweetcorn on a 14 kamazan animal, if they don't bite thats cool, when they do you can be guaranteed a better stamp of roach.
5 pints of maggots will sort that out and a maggot feeder or 4 kilo of micro pellet quarter kilo every half kilo every hour, over feeding always works for silvers
I was taught to match fish by a chap called Ian Heaps in the 70s not even he said chuck that amount of bait in. It must cost you a fortune just to catch a few roach, Me I use a tin of Green giant sweetcorn, a pint of hemp, a few hand full of pellets and a bit of groundbait, total cost per session about 3 quid. I won many matches in my time on the open circuit in the 80s, and usually i still bag up on the same tactics now.
How about an instant fisherman 2 rod on your boat as a challenge of some sort?
Come to Teelin pier in Donegal 5lb + pollack down the side as well as conger at night and lots of dogfish too
Sounds like heaven for us British beach anglers.
Graeme, what is your favorite fish to catch? Do you have any Bass near where you live?
Yes,I do have Bass near where I live...in the supermarket !!..unfortunately I live 50 miles from the sea...Don't really have a favourite fish,but I do like catching Barbel with a float.
is it bad that i target carp with a match rod which was £30, caught some decent 10-12lbs fish on it xD
Sssshhh....don't tell anyone...

You should try pole fishing Graham
At 12:17 you can see a carp or two in the margins
12:18 right by the bank
Good fish rose right at your feet 11.11
10.50 in the margin
What county is this in
The United KIngdom
Mag.......ni.........fi........cent.......!!!
"Uno lumpo" 😂
16.00 this is what it’s all about,,
I hope the wife did’t go too mad!
where im from, bananas are TERRIBLE luck....captains will often not let you on their boat if you have a banana in your lunch
Where are you from ?
I wouldn’t worry about match fishing I think you got quality over quantity I’d rather 10 decent fish over 100
My cherry-wood rod would be bent in half with those bigger fish.
Who spotted the Carp feeding in the margin at 11:09 ? right in front of you Graeme lol Blame SMITH ? lol
Frozen corn tends to float but theres nothing worse then dry corn it always floats
No it really doesn't!! When frozen it always sinks, it's frozen which means it's holding moisture and is dense until thawed out. Don't know what corn you use but I've never ever had floating frozen corn
Lol fish still there at 12.15
who needs a 16mtr pole ????
I love you Poms.. so anal about your fishing!
It's a shame this place is 3 and 3/4 hrs away.
UK Roach = USA Redfin
When I say 2-3 hours fishing it ends up 4-6...
