Graham do you think that black lug should be gutted or not? I don't know why this is done but I prefer the guts to be left in the worm for extra scent it seems to make no difference for freezing point of view!!!
totally awful fishing show, dieing of laughter before the video has even started, love the viking shelter, coming along really well, dustin is just awesome too, love seeing you guys cracking on with these videos 👍
Kevin Ballard I’m pretty sure they gut them when they freeze them for some reason, I’m on the south coast and never had fresh lug, I’m not 100% on that
When you can’t wait to go fishing for sea bass off the rocks here in cork harbor but the elements are not right- the next best thing is watch the legendary totally awesome fishing show. Love it.
Graeme you are totally HARD CORE my man. How many OAPs would tough this out, not many. Your one of the very few who live for fishing. More power to your elbow as the Irish say !
This brings back memories of my dad and myself we used to make these weights for going boat fishing for maceral and cod etc of the Ayrshire coast. But we mostly done fresh water fly fishing for salmon trout etc but did have a few fun days on the old boats
been watching all your clips Graeme and picking up on all your tips. And i got the courage to answer an add in the paper for A HANDYMAN. so went for the interview. The boss asked. can you lay bricks. i replied NO! how about electrics!! i said NO!! carpentry then!!! I replied, Sorry can't do. He got a bit angry and said I THOUGHT YOU WHERE HANDY!!!!!! i said i am !!!! i live around the corner!!!!!
I dont care who has the best or worst fishing channel, but i know that this is the only channel that imma look. Simple, cheap and easy... no fancy not needed crap.
The name of the impurities floating on top of the molten lead is "slag." I'd recommend spooning that film out and tossing it away before you do your mold pours. You've put me in a mind to make my own weights, I keep loosing expensive ones in the rocks fishing the Mississippi river. Cheers!
Did the same thing last weekend Graeme. Fished between the snow showers and only one fish the whole session between four of us, but it was magic. Keep it up Graeme
Good one Graeme done what you done in that weather good bass few fish top man in that weather cheers mate still good video thanks for that all your time
Totally love your channel. I'm a fisherman too. I live in Alaska where there's great fishing but I would love to chance to fish in the UK. I was a student in the UK but never had the opportunity to fish. Anyway, best of luck. Keep the videos coming - I watch every single one with my daughter. Blessings to you and yours.
Mate, I'm gonna sneak a suitcase so it gets washed ashore under your rods. It'll be full of bags of 'flour' and a alarm clock wrapped up in duct tape with a coundown timer running down on its display. Then right at the bottom of the case will be a TA Fishing hat! Hahahaaaa!
When you come down to dorset again to go fishing try either seatown which is quite rocky but good for rays and bass or maybe try west bexington or Abbotsbury (the beach at Abbotsbury) they're all usually quite good. Really enjoyed this episode graeme 🐟. Theres also a tackle shop at west bay which is probably the closest tackle shop; it has most bait and tackle.
Thanks Graeme, Sound ideas, I'm on to that DIY breakaway leads as I'm fed up of feeding lead weights to the River Mersey and to tackle shops for leads. I've got some scrap aluminium in the garage and I'm off to see if the local scrap merchant will do a straight swop for some lead which will make the weights even cheaper.
With them lead cones Graeme you could make back leads for your carp fishing you would have to put a snap swivel on some how but that will work you cast out clip the lead on let it slide down the line a bit and it keeps everything nailed down to the lake bed 😉
Just watched your short session on Preston beach. Very good. Its an interesting beach. I always enjoy fishing it. Mind you I only live just behind it. Might see you there some time.
down on preston beach in feb? madness! . but interesting to see a bass or two down there, it used to fish well with a good onshore blow and slipper limpet if i remember correctly
Great video Graeme! I have a question about your 1 up/1 down rig... How on earth do they NOT tangle? The same with a flapper rig really. I can never really work out how to stop them getting tangled in the cast.
Many thanks as always..... very interesting. I hope you got your burger on your way home and I hope the parking attendant got.........well you know the rest.
I haven't done any sea fishing since I was a kid on holiday so haven't been in a seaside tackle shop for years, I'm really curious, what does it cost to buy a single impact grip lead nowadays???The yellow ones seem to be the ones that get used most often, I think are they 6oz?? I can imagine doing regular sessions on snaggy areas of the coast could be a fairly expensive hobby if you just buy your leads like most blokes do.That isn't even thinking about lost hooks,swivels,line and other bits of end tackle.
I think they might be 2-50 a weight in some places.Depends how heavy. It generally works out that you come out with extra weight but it's balanced because your wallet will be that much lighter !
Preston Beach is a lovely venue and as you say you're not humping your stuff over those sodding shingle banks on Chesil, I don't often blank but blanked 2 days ago on the Stone pier and I tried EVERYTHING but the kitchen sink
Love your vlogs as you tell it as it is and you are a true character who is very watchable, look forward to more vlogs, also where abouts is this beach as i fancy having a bash here sometime as im only 2 hours from weymouth. cheers.
Get yourself up to Whitley bay, tynemouth. Some nice big cod if your lucky but if you like the rock ends and the pier shots you'll do ok. If all fails get yourself into Newcastle for a night out plenty dirty kippers 😜😝🤪
Planning a pilgrimage to Chesil from Manchester in April ! Would love any advice from anyone who knows on the baits to use at that time of year , and what might be out there ... ?
Graham, rig looks like it might be a Portsmouth loop, pompay rig. Got a few names. on the bottom snood looks like there might be a cascade swivel? couldn't see it to clearly. If it is (might be wrong mate) both snood can be clipped down for casting. Not trying to tell you how to suck eggs mate but have a Google.. 🍺
Hi you are right about some of the best fishing is in Wales, but lately for a number of years now the mackerel have become so scarce last summer I went with out even catching one. I have a small boat as well as fishing from the shore. I think we have gone beyond the point of conservation. I am going to get flamed for saying this, I think we should start dispatching dog fish as they far out number any other species out there.
Had it fitted when I had the boat rigged out. It's been very strong for a small chair .I think it was King's Marine at Chertsey that sourced it ,but I guess there are loads online. No name on it that I can see.

I will have too get the Smith shirt now won't I. Wasn't me sir!
Kevin Ballard I’m pretty sure they gut them when they freeze them for some reason, I’m on the south coast and never had fresh lug, I’m not 100% on that
john smith it was meant to be!
Just got in from a few beers and a curry, now it’s time for TA fishing!
This is my favourite RUclips fishing show
Awsome to see you out fishing graham 👍🐟
When you can’t wait to go fishing for sea bass off the rocks here in cork harbor but the elements are not right- the next best thing is watch the legendary totally awesome fishing show. Love it.
Sea bass?…….is there any other kind? 🙄
bass*
Graeme you are totally HARD CORE my man. How many OAPs would tough this out, not many. Your one of the very few who live for fishing. More power to your elbow as the Irish say !
Just found this channel, love this guy and he's a real character
Making lead weights wow this brings back some memories especially the elastic band grip leads. Getting lead pipe used to be pretty easy in the 70s.
yesss another sea fishing vid
Friday night is TAF night. Good man Graeme for toughing it out. Can't catch 'em if you're sitting at home in front of the fire (like me).
This brings back memories of my dad and myself we used to make these weights for going boat fishing for maceral and cod etc of the Ayrshire coast. But we mostly done fresh water fly fishing for salmon trout etc but did have a few fun days on the old boats

Like that one,made me smile ,and made up for the parking ticket I got !
Not only are you a great fisherman but you really should try stand up Mr Pullan you crack me up 😂😂😂
That feeling you get when the blank is saved. The look on your face says it all. Nice work Graham :)
Very good!!!
Have a nice weekend fishermen !
Always love watching your videos and learning. I'm saving for a spring/summer collection of lures. I can taste the fresh fish already.
Yeah Friday night sorted thanks Graham much appreciated and much enjoyed.
I dont care who has the best or worst fishing channel, but i know that this is the only channel that imma look. Simple, cheap and easy... no fancy not needed crap.

Luv the shore fishing vids Graeme, entertaining as always 👍
Excellent Graeme
I do love you Graeme :)) ! Chesil beach is my favourite spot to fish as well, never had a blank there, wonderful spot for fishing !
Well done on the bass mate but sorry about that ticket. Great to see you back making leads. Many thanks for all you work to bring us this great stuff.
The lead making was simply ingenious!

Graham that looks like my favourite rig a Portsmouth loop
I'm here I'm here I'm ready for some fishing boys, get in
Mate, I'm gonna sneak a suitcase so it gets washed ashore under your rods. It'll be full of bags of 'flour' and a alarm clock wrapped up in duct tape with a coundown timer running down on its display. Then right at the bottom of the case will be a TA Fishing hat!

Parserverence pays off. Very happy for your catch.
Great vid Graham, where you up to on part two of buying a fishing boat?
Thanks Graeme, Sound ideas, I'm on to that DIY breakaway leads as I'm fed up of feeding lead weights to the River Mersey and to tackle shops for leads.

You sure are tough hanging out there in the cold and wind. Nice catch really good looking fish. Like your wind shelter.
You are one tough fisherman💪🐟🐟🐡😉

Great video Graeme! I have a question about your 1 up/1 down rig... How on earth do they NOT tangle? The same with a flapper rig really. I can never really work out how to stop them getting tangled in the cast.
Graeme, I love your videos, but one question, what long term effect does your expendable lead weights have on the environment?
Great information 👍 really enjoyed.
Your an inspiration
Many thanks as always..... very interesting. I hope you got your burger on your way home and I hope the parking attendant got.........well you know the rest.
I'm anew fisher I'd like to know what kind of bait do I use to start off with . Answers from you are important

here is a tip for you leave pipe in long length and fill the whole pipe then cut it into pieces saves loads of time cheers steve
Preston Beach is a lovely venue and as you say you're not humping your stuff over those sodding shingle banks on Chesil, I don't often blank but blanked 2 days ago on the Stone pier and I tried EVERYTHING but the kitchen sink
Can you do a video on trout worming in rivers and lakes
Great video.

Get yourself up to Whitley bay, tynemouth. Some nice big cod if your lucky but if you like the rock ends and the pier shots you'll do ok. If all fails get yourself into Newcastle for a night out plenty dirty kippers 😜😝🤪

great tip to use Copper pipe as a mould
Talking of Wales, Graeme, do you ever get up this way to fish?
i like the smith hoodie, although the bump on my head still hurts a little.
you remind me of bruce forsyth hahaha
Good game, good game, let's take a look at the old scoreboard.......
Jimmy Hill !
What kind of bait do I use mate?
No pain, no gain.
MAN ALIVE
Billy no mates .....bet smith is with you ha ha
The stuff on top of the lead is called SLAG
I never see you going over a sand dune with your shovel like the Desert Rats used to do
Hi Graeme where did you get your captains chair for your boat ? Cheers Chris
Had it fitted when I had the boat rigged out. It's been very strong for a small chair .I think it was King's Marine at Chertsey that sourced it ,but I guess there are loads online. No name on it that I can see.
Thanks for help anyway ,love watching your videos !
very funny lmao
Nice Bivy
i hope youve warmed up now graeme
