A man after my own heart, can't beat surface fishing for carp. Went to my local club water today with my son and caught a 23lb fully scaled mirror with bread crust about 2ft from the bank.
Vancouver Island BC Canada here. It has been amazing, trout are stocked, Halibut and salmon are on, Lingcod and rockfish open May 1. Going pier crabbing tomorrow morning before a pontoon boat rip down the Cowichan River for trout :)
Been fishing now for 11 months today when I first started I had no idea what I needed to buy or how to setup. I knew nothing and I mean nothing. After watching your videos and other RUclipsrs I have learned so much just from watching your videos with your tips and just how you explain things. Yesterday I caught my PB not the highest in the world but smashed my record of 15lb carp. Thank you so much for your amazing content
Hello from South Dakota, Graeme! We made about 100 boilies, they turned out amazing. We go to a local large dirt/rubble farm "dam" for common carp, trying to find out how big they get in there. Brown trout fishing in the creek in town is very good, risers can be found maybe 150 days or more a year so I can scratch the itch relatively easily with the flyrod and am also trying out some float fishing. We are looking to rustle up some pallet wood for a privacy screen on the deck we're building. Had our first child in August - he'll be watching Uncle Graeme! : ) Mucho mucho Thanks. Michael
Fantastic, rarely comment on videos but I have to thank you guys for guiding me through fishing, it’s been a huge help to my health during lockdowns, can’t believe all this content is free!

I always reckoned mixer biscuits were the best in my carp fishing days. The ones with a sort of gravy glaze on them which dissolved in the water were fantastic. You could have the fish boiling on the surface sometimes and a fake dog biscuit on the hook was all you needed. Great sport on a 7 foot spinning rod.
Quite a lot of people do it nowadays, more in the warmer months when the Carp are up on the surface, and of course you are mobile and don't need loads of gear.
Excellent video Graeme 🎣👍. Carp on fly rod, is epic. We would cut chunks of cork, in the size & shape of dog biscuits. Then supper glue them , to a size 8 thine gadge hook. Totally Awesome sport in summer 😎 🎣
I've always been a fan of it...got to be the most entertaining way of catching a Carp....and no carrying tons of gear around on a wheelbarrow...Love it..
Excellent video, Great tutorial and a totally different perspective on carp fishing. Bread was always my preferred bait for carp (fished many different ways, but on the surface was my favourite). Now you introduced us to fly fishing for carp, that looked like tremendous fun. Nice looking lake beautifully filmed, can't wait for part 2. Hope its out after Chelsea thrash West Ham and then my weekend will be complete. Thanks for posting.
I love your videos Graham. 😃. I watch alot .Awesome catch . Very interesting Tips..Thankyou ..Your a top man .totally top rod ..ooh get out of my swim lol ❤💙 👏👌👍🙌😎
cracking vid graham , be out this weekend , trying the floating bread, just wondered what sise hook's do you use , they look quite big, keep rocking the vid's ,ian
Great video with awesome tips. Got me wanting to break out my fly rod on my next carp fishing adventure. Do you think a 9ft. 9wt. is overkill for carp up to 20 or so lbs?
Thanks. This is the rod I've used with great success when fly fishing for Salmon, huge Browns, and Steelhead. Thanks for the help and Love the show!!! @@TAFishing
I've been missing the surface action, last 3 places I've been since the sun has been shining have banned surface fishing overnight, getting watching my rods do dotting whilst carp are cruising on the surface!
I have fished a couple of places this week and both had Carp in the edges, lounging near the surface...does anyone think its too cold for spawning ?..They have been a pain to catch lately.. I don't know why they are acting so peculiar ??
@@TAFishing I'd imagine the very cold nights are not helping, we've had only a few warm days but with the freezing temperatures at night it's not enough to warm the water through the layers, which is why the carp are hanging around in the shallower water. No doubt they will start spawning once the water temperatures increase. We had seen a solid month of scorching temperatures this time last year, it's been very strange this year.
Bonus vid cant beat a bit of surface fishing... is this the lake you fished before it opened up for the public?. When you where free lining meat for the carp. It looks so different now maturing nicely. Lovely video by the way... great stuff...
In all honesty I never know the names of lakes and swims etc ,but I think you may be right,my first sesh there was experimental so they could see how it was fishing...Yes,it has grown up nicely with a big of vegetation etc.
Absolutely magical video, This embodies just about everything that makes The Totally Awesome Fishing Show the best fishing channel on You Tube, It also presents an incredible underrated character called Graeme Pullen who in my book should be held aloft with the likes of John Wilson. Matt Hayes, Mick Brown. Nobody on You Tube shows such passion, shares his secrets and gives tips out to young people trying to get into the sport, Tried to make a short comment just to show my appreciation but it turned into an essay. Thanks.
Yeah I think I was just over tired from work and must have had someone in my ear and double edited a clip..It has happened before. Probably will again with over 900 films up.
21:33 and 24:57 Deja vu. Haha must be getting old and losing your marbles mate. Or is RUclips messing with your videos. Still an enjoyable watch though.👍😁
Don’t forget part 2 of this will be going live this Sunday! How has your fishing been lately?
Not great on east cost. (Harwich) Some whiting and odd doggie and small rays. Maybe odd dab, flounder.

Glad to have helped,as I always say it can take just one tip that could turn your fishing day around. Well done on the Carp.

Hi South Dakota, good luck with the Carp,and hope you track down some pallets..Can be fun building something from nothing.
Hugely appreciated as always Graeme. Cant believe this is free still, what a man
Carp on a fly rod looks like an absolute blast!!!

You were so happy with the fly rod you showed us it twice 😌
A senior moment I'm afraid.

It's a lot of fun to watch when you get that fly rod out!

My favourite fisherman. Love you graham ❤️
Cracking video graham 😎👊🏻💯
Hey buddy awesome video Graham stay safe everyone 👍👍👍
i like using dog biscuits more then bread, but either one is fun. Surface fishing i found is more enjoyable! Excellent video!!!
Hi Graham huge fan of your fishing video’s, love surface fishing for carp looking forward to the summer and the end of lock down.👍🏻
I've always been a fan of it...got to be the most entertaining way of catching a Carp....and no carrying tons of gear around on a wheelbarrow...Love it..
@@TAFishing I’m still taking far too much gear to the lake, I love all fishing but watching a carp take your bait of the surface is magical.

Great video, especially for us beginners. 👍
Love you're work keep up the great job !!!!!
Hmmm I'll keep fly fishing for carp on natural rivers and canals. There's so much wild fish to catch on endless banks.
I shall be watching part 2 whilst fishing for carp Sunday morning!! 🤘🏼Much love from Devon
Thanks again T.A. for making my Friday night staying in with our Mabel bearable.
I'm a expirenced carp fisherman and love this channel but god I'm dying for another pen rod vid 😄 🤣
Great video mate. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Looks amazing fun
Thanks a lot for you’re videos i started fishing last year and you have helped me lot god bless you and family
Glad they have helped..stay safe..
I love your videos Graham. 😃. I watch alot .Awesome catch . Very interesting Tips..Thankyou ..Your a top man .totally top rod ..ooh get out of my swim lol ❤💙 👏👌👍🙌😎
7 foot lrf rod is fun for carp fishing, especially when all the tackle tarts can't buy a bite
I've caught a couple on fly myself, wouldn't want to tackle a 30lb Mirror on one though, suppose that's where the tackle tarts win the day.
Tackle tarts😂😂😂 don’t be salty you’re stuck with shite
@@itsmoyzehh3873 I have carp gear lol, was just saying I had fun with a rod that most people wouldn't use
@@briangasson7199 buying a bite is best way lad nothing better😂
@@itsmoyzehh3873 I've had a few sessions lately where I wish I could have
Vvv good game, good game!!
Thank you Graeme!
Good job
cracking vid graham , be out this weekend , trying the floating bread, just wondered what sise hook's do you use , they look quite big, keep rocking the vid's ,ian
Average about size 6,depends on each fishery.
Had a bit of deja vu towards the end there 🤪
got to see some parts twice
Just tired from work before starting to edit, I'll have to ease up on the films .
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
What pound fishing line do you use please and can't wait for part 2 :)
For general fishing it would be 6lbs I guess,For carping 12/15lbs,and Catfish generally 20lbs.(That's UK Cats,not the foreign giants)
@@TAFishing brilliant thanks Graham im fishing now but just started to rain fishing hard at the moment
Great video with awesome tips. Got me wanting to break out my fly rod on my next carp fishing adventure.
Do you think a 9ft. 9wt. is overkill for carp up to 20 or so lbs?
Not really,only means more wrist ache for casting,but will give you an edge when you hook a 20lb Carp.
Thanks. This is the rod I've used with great success when fly fishing for Salmon, huge Browns, and Steelhead. Thanks for the help and Love the show!!! @@TAFishing
I have been gifted with some old fiberglass and one bamboo british made rods very vintage can you please tell us how to work those old rods
congratulations nice video
Polish horse shoe pit. I'm into it!
hi graham, great catches. who does your videos, theres been duplicate footage in this video
That's probably me in the edit..rushing after a day of jobs...trying to get 25 hours out of each day.
@@TAFishing no problem, wasnt sure if you realized. just a quick one i tried out finch farm on monday and had a fantastc day

Are you wearing that jumper for a bet?
No,just to see if anyone else is brazen enough to wear such a thing...I rarely follow sheep-like fashions.(Unless its a wool jumper of course)
I use to guide for a living (15 years in NZ ) so I don't agree with your opinion, but it's just my opinion.
fosters or bells ?
im thinking the guy that edited this had been on the turps lol
Yeah I think I was just over tired from work and must have had someone in my ear and double edited a clip..It has happened before. Probably will again with over 900 films up.
@@TAFishing its good for a chuckle mate lol
Has anyone else noticed the repeat ?
Yes...apparently I double edited,but I weas burning the midnight oil trying to get the film loaded in time..More haste..less speed is the saying..
21:33 and 24:57
Deja vu. Haha must be getting old and losing your marbles mate.
Or is RUclips messing with your videos. Still an enjoyable watch though.👍😁
Senior moments and too much workload I'm afraid.
Ive fished for many years and the thing that ruined it was when carp fishing got too commercial
There's plenty of other fishing you can do ,get on the tench fishing ,you should get back into it ,I'm planning all week for my Sunday fishing 👍
23:00 and 26:27 look like there the same
4th👍🇵🇭
A baitband works much better.
U always worried about loosing the fish u should have more confidence in urself ur epic haha
thats a big net, are you fishing for whales :P
That's what a lot of fishery rules demand here in the UK..its like using a curtain..some places want even bigger nets !!
