Love you Graeme! The mole and expanding foam was priceless, can’t wait to see part 2 when you explain to your wife what happened. Funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time!
I'm 75 now and my wife got me a plaque saying 'YOU DON'T STOP FISHING WHEN YOU GET OLD, YOU GET OLD WHEN YOU STOP FISHING!' Places like this one suits me perfectly well mate, thanks for putting this vid up!👍👍👍👍👍
Your passion for fishing is infectious, and being of a quite close age I love your sense of humour. You never fail to make me smile. Keep up the great work for as long as you can, no one else comes close to your show in my opinion. All the best to you and your family again. Looking forward to your next show
My wife said 'how can he judge the weight if he doesn't weigh them'? We all know it's experience over many years, but I was in that frame of mind and said 'The fish have their own scales'!🤫 Lovely vid Graeme, as usual, thanks very much!👍👍👍👍👍

Don't worry,for sure you are not alone. It all seems a bit of a battle and whatever gives us a bit of distraction, even for a short time,can alter the mindset for the rest of the day. I've literally just come in from filming the machinery cutting the field for sileage/hay whatever. Some sense of normaility watching all the men work their machinery.And the sky outside my fence is full of Kites...
I just had an idea that the .22 would penetrate the can on one side. I had no idea it was so powerful it went right through,thereby allowing two outlets for the expanding foam to come out and make it spin like a Catherine wheel...A good learning curve I thought. You can see it on the close up GoPro footage before the camera got completely sprayed.
Recently went to Todber on Friday on Wadmill, caught 4 carpies. The chaps in the tackle shop are very helpful for how to fish the various lakes. Thanks Graham for putting me onto this fishery, I shally be going again.
Its a good one, I think all the lakes are really well stocked,and the fish seem in good condition ,plus its peaceful surroundings. As you say the Tackle shop is the place to get the information on each lake.
Thank you for taking us fishing with you. I couldn’t handle filming and fishing together; when I get to the water all I can think of is wetting the line!🎣 As for the mole/foam experiment, whatever keeps you young! 😀
Thankyou Graeme yet another classic, you brought tears to my eyes. Are you sure your not one of the dangouse brothers you are lethal i'm really glad i'm not that mole i bet its crapping its self it must think the end of the world as come. Great keep it up.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the upload. Love the DIY stuff. Just got back from an evening session at my local club water. I mentioned to you I blanked last time I went as I thought the fish were spawning. Better evening tonight, managed to top my PB by 1lb at 19lb 4. On good old slow sinking bread flake about a foot out.....everyone else casting to the horizons and not catching a thing 😂
Hi Graeme I am New and Enjoy your program very much, Talking about Moles the Castor oil spray not only kills the insects on which moles feed, but the smell of castor oil also repels the moles themselves. You can spray the castor oil solution at the tunnel entrances and exits and even along the length of the tunnels, Friend of mine uses that says works a treat as keeps them away as they Hate smell of it
Can't stop laughing at that the most uncontrolled explosion ever that was some mess , bit of practice required Graham before we allow you to start dropping old chimneys and buildings , if the moles died it was from laughter 😅 , that was priceless.
Just caught 4 moles.. i use a saddle trap not those pincer thingys. You have to know how to lay the trap in the run but your foam method is so much more spectacular! Thanks Graham
Great film Grahame,my daughter and I fished finch farm today . We had a great time caught loads of fish. I bet you don't use that foam again for moles😅😂😅
Omg 😂😂😂😂 how funny was that knew what was going to happen I'm a painter and decorator that stuff is great but a nightmare!!! Try wire wool lot less explosive 😂😂😂
Hi Graeme, Sorry for being a pest messaging again. It seems that you have much better fresh water fishing spots in England than we do. Such a great skillset on feeling bites and your setup etc . Great to watch and so relaxing after a hard week at work. Steve in Fife.
Any spots ( black/ brown) on willow leaves ? Do you get a lot of leaf drop on windier days? Notice you live next to farm land ?? Is weed killer ever used on surrounding fields? How old is the willow Great tips thanks for sharing
squirt some expanding foam down the hole and top out with quick drying concrete ontop of the hole.. no mole would get out that way. or put some old concrete slabs over there top....i love to see a mole try and lift them up....and a very nice lake as well..
@@TAFishing if that fails a few stick of home made dynamite but stick some motion detector tracking system next to it in there hole and when he sets it off ...BOOM ...there life terminated and you get free home made fish pond and you have to do any digging
graeme i thought you was a nature lover not a destroyer of our wildlife ,i am shocked but ill still watch your vids , those trees may or may not recover ,we have the same problem in kent ,some of our trees and hedge rows were infected by some type of fungus or whatever but some have died but many are makeing a recovery ,so lets hope for the best aye.
2 weeks or so have past.....now how do the moles like their insulation? Will they be moving in to that area during the colder months? Perhaps you should also consider making a summer area as well...couple of swimming pools, perhaps a liitle bar at the side of each of them.. get Mike to create and make them!...Perhaps add a High board as well. I'll look forward to seeing it all in handcrafted Hazel.
Don't wind me up .....the little buggers are back,this time round the back lawn. They are getting a double dose of jeyes fluid soaked in a rag and stuffed down the hole. they think they own the place. Next phase will be some form of explosive..I am currently in negotiations with a local firework supplier.
If you get rid of the moles from your garden, come here and get rid of them out of my back yard. Them sobs are having a field day back here. I've about broke my neck walking out in the yard. Actually I've got a couple of mole traps, i just need to get something to mask the scent of the steel or the moles go right up to them and then go around them. The people next door have a big ol gray cat that stays outside mostly, he used to catch moles but the last few years I don't know what happened to him, he just left them alone. Oh well, I'll get it sorted out eventually, I'm going to have to or their going to tear my yard all to sh#$! Anyways, hey, good to see you back Graeme, well I know it hasn't been that long but anyway, you know!
Sieve the molehill soil as a ground bait medium for rivers. As a youngster I once had a mole come up between my feet while fishing. Quite alarming to see the earth erupting underneath you.
I'm sure the reason you catch is two reasons: 1. You have experience of many years. That's a huge advantage! 2. You don't take it too seriously, it's about fun and that novice mentality at each water you visit. Clearly you go to catch, who doesn't? But when it's under pressure surely it affects creative thinking!?! It's this thought process I encourage with our kids, they often out perform me and I'm totally OK with that. Fun, fun, fun. Otherwise what's the point..?
The exploding foam had me roaring with laughter, I had wondered what would happen and that saved me doing it. I think the £24 for the attachment would have been worth it after clearing that lot up. With regards to the fishing, why did you have the float so high up in the water? I'm well out of practice but i thought it was better for it to be an inch or so above the water.
It was a graduated antennae float and easier for the viewer to see when I filmed it,plus I didn't want to be striking at false bites by shotting it down to the red tip then missing what could have been a line bite.
Hi new subsciber here been hooked on TA oudoors, thought id check you out too. Great video thanks, Graeme it's been around 35+ years since I fished 🤦♂️ I'm slowly building my rod & tackle up again, what type of line would you recommend plz? Not sure on what weight(if that's correct term) to go for. thanks Kev
THE COLD WET SPRING HAS PUT SOME TREES WAY BACK UP TO 5 WEEKS BEHIND THEN THE REALLY HOT WEATHER ON TOP OF THAT AND TREES HAVE SUFFERED ,,IT WAS THE COLDEST SPRING FOR 86 YEARS AND THE LEAST SUNSHINE HOURS ON RECORD ,SO NEXT YEAR YOUR TREES SHOULD BE OK,,,,FINGERS CROSSED THE TREES HAVE BE SHOCKED AND STRESSED ,,
Haha "something wrong with all my trees!" Proceeds to poor disinfectant and expanding foam into his soil! 😂 I got pretty good at trapping moles, got 16 from one garden in a couple of weeks. In the end i gave up just learn to enjoy them it means youve got good healthy soil lots of worms and critters for them to eat. I thought mole hill soil was meant to be really good for ground bait???
Reminded me of an old Japer Carrot album my dad had a while back. It was called sweet and sour labrador. There's a story in it where one of his characters, was having amole problem, and all kind of advice was shared around the pub, and a regular old bloke sat in the corner suddenly blurted out, " There's only one way to get rid of a mole, Blow it's bloody 'ead off". And he what on to describe how to achieve that in a very funny way. And the over all outcome of the story is even funnier. Anyway, I hope you get rid of the thing. Yours truly used to paint watercolours. For over 30 years in fact. Some of my paintings are in high places, like in the living room of an MP, and many of them are in the USA. I never did have any lofty dreams of selling them, I just painted as a hobby. Alas, when over 500 of my paintings got stolen, a large piece of my soul went with them, and I no longer have what it take to create anything worth while. For One of the first ones I did was one of my personal favourites, it was of a perch hiding between some slender reeds, next to a brown ale bottle on the river bed. That was of of those that were stolen. For the most part, I gave the paintings away as gifts. And that got costly when so many were posted the America. If the upcoming treatment on my eyes isn't very effective, the remainder of all the materials used in painting will be is need of a knew home. I know a couple of lovely ladies that live on the south coast that would be happy to get it all. A couple of hundred quids worth of fair quality fit. Last year I rehomed about £1600 woth of nearly new tackle to some younger anglers that had next to nothing and are dead keen. I still have a good amount of gear left, and just keep hoping for improving finances and health to use it. One day, you'll see. Take care Graeme. TTFN
I doubt that will have got rid of the mole, also don't touch the foam until its completely set hard because its horrible sticky stuff and a nightmare to get off your hands and clothing I use it all the time at work and it makes a horrible mess but I'm betting the moles won't move out to another area.
But I do have half a dozen cans of expanding foam left over ?? What should I do with them...Maybe dig out the mole hill ,bury them,then fire the air rifle from a higher angle ??...Working on the principle of dynamite ?...more explosive when compressed...? Don't give me ideas my brain is always a mess anyway,it doesn't need more suggestions.
@@TAFishing push it flat in to the ground with the valve pointing down then use pipe to put a hole in at an horizontal angle to put the shot through the valve lay a concrete block on top and let the moles have it!

Top and bottom lakes had some truly amazing trips there this year.
Graham that was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Thank you for cheering me up!!
What a grea bit of content. Love the mole experiment, I expect we were all just waiting for that exact result - brilliant!

Very good Graeme - I have to say that the result with the expanding foam was pretty much what I expected!! Hilarious.
Ahh that was surprising didn't expect that can to do that really funny Mr P 😂❤
