This video just shows how different fishing cultures can be, in Australia there is absolutely no time we would be excited about catching a ray! Great video none the less!
I'm no fisherman and when I saw the length of your video I was considering passing by. That was a quick hour! A very good video and great to see your experience and enthusiasm bearing fruit.
Entertainment plus education for beginners. Love the English humor. I have a slightly smaller boat but always love getting on the water when I can - great therapy, nice video.
8 years old, got a Starfish off Teignmouth beach, Devon on family holiday.Took it to local aquarium. Bad(and later,expensive)move as I saw all the fish in the aquarium and have never been the same since. My Dad fished with me when I was about age 14 to 21.Never nuts like I was. But we had some great laughs. He never took life too seriously. But he "left me too early" if you know what I mean. I'm lucky to have a laugh filming with Mike. Lots of father/son combos don't get that chance.
Hi Graham, First time out on a charter boat yesterday. Followed your advice and made some clements booms before the day, worked brilliant! I managed to get at the back of the boat and started bumping the lead as per your tips and caught my first smoothhound, first thornback and lots of decent whiting so a big thanks from me.....
Great video again Graeme, i'm a kayak fisherman from the North East of Scotland and i picked up a few top tips from yet another totally awesome fishing video, keep up the fantastic work mate.
Graeme, this has to be the best video you ever produced. Awesome Fishing as you can do and wonderful information as to your Riggs and equipment yet you took us all for a boat ride! I try to watch all you and Mikes videos. Thank you both. Where is Mike when you need him?
I'm going fishing in the Bristol Channel on Wednesday aboard a charter boat from Penarth. Never been fishing in open water so looking forward to it. Your tips have been a great help to me to calm me down. At age 67 it's not too late to start something new.
TAFishing Had a great day out with Charma Fishing, Cardiff. As it was the first time I must admit I was very apprehensive. My advice to anyone thinking of doing it is just go, don't think about it. You only need to take yourself and some food. Make sure you have appropriate clothing for the weather, preferably layered, and suntan lotion or moisturiser for your face. Everything else is supplied by the Charter Boat. Thanks for your video it did help.
I still haul-up manually, even on my own, but I dare not anchor in fast tides single handed as I am up on the bow so can't run forward. Got the Alderney Ring, as long as you follow procedure of not running over your own anchor rope you should be OK.Better to fish two people on a boat, if only to haul anchor. I wear those rubber garden gloves for extra grip on the rope. Always take care pulling up anchors. Wear a lifejacket.
Hello Graeme thanks for all your work and filming. I've just bought my first boat and am getting ready to start fishing with my son. Your videos are an inspiration. Cheers mate Craig
Glad you like the films and sound like a new member of our "Awesome Army !" I love going out in my 17-footer.Sure its all hassle with boating, but when you get some good fish it makes it worthwhile as its all your own work. And remember if you get fed up there is always a market for second-hand boats, so you can sell.Though I know several accounts of people selling up, then miss their boat and go buy another.
Went to Falmouth, Cornwall and fished of a bosten whaler and we were catching huge dogfish of the mouth of the river. thank you so much for making these amazing videos and i hope you continue for years to come!!!!!
right size boat n engine that wont cost a weeks wages every time you go out for a day's fishing and very well explained too many thanks for posting mate really enjoyed it
I've been fishing all my life, never had as much fun at it as you seem to. Caught everything from lobster pots to rocks, a few fish and an attitude, lost more gear than you could believe, STILL,,,, I go for the love of it, FISH ON!!!!!!
First fishing video watched, thank you Graeme. Charter boat fishing trip booked with my Dad and Brothers. Think j stand a chance now. Great choice of music. Love the channel. Cheers
Good luck with the trip,I hope you have some fun..I was out boat fishing today with Wayne and just got back.Windy and choppy to start but turned into a nice evening.
Geez... I know this is for beginners but I'm lost as to how to manage the reel after the first 5 minutes... lots to learn. GREAT video by the way, great detail and lots of great tips!!!!!
Great vid Graeme, I've just discovered your channel and it's the dogs (fishes) nadgers! You're concise and to the point, full of enthusiasm and great at explaining things like rigs and knots etc. Keep up the good work matey, peace and tight lines to you and yours.
Hi Graeme I am just taking up boat fishing and your video has been really enjoyable and informative thank you, and your actually nice and enjoyable to watch without being a fishy bore lol
All our films are better than what's on TV !!! We give fishing info ,tips and techniques,built up from 50 years of fishing, plus we have a network of other real experts,not just presenters. Keep watching, glad you like the films, and spread the word !!
great vid lots of help got the boat need some help ,hopefully this is my year thanks the great tips just keep them coming we all need a bit of help thanks
we use similar tactics for big flathead catfishing with the rigs except heavier with circle hooks. The slide weight tactics work great for letting the fish take it against the clicker and leaning into the circle for a clean lip hook to not hurt the fish. The hit on the first sip of tea is hilarious, the second I pick my coffee up the rod folds over every time. Sure fire way for a bite as you proved ! - but we dont boat fish so this video was really informative and as always best fishing show ever! thanks
Ur channel name is so true!!! u r totally awesome!!! please keep up the videos i love them im a begginger fisher i just started last year and this video really helped me get to where i am with boat fishing
what the boat was carrying was a propeller for a wind turbine. and loved your video. it must be hard filming all this by your self! plus how good the quality is!! thumbs up for you pal
Totally awesome video as always. Always thought you were a bit loopy now I know, to doing all that on your own...! Im about to go on a boat trip out of Portsmouth, I may take these tips with me.
Brilliant video, learnt huge amounts being a novice sea angler, I got a 3.3m inflatable boat with a 9.8hp motor and that will go 20mph and i can handle that on my own, had plenty of Sea bass with Feathers and topped off with 110gram wedge on the end, also plenty of Mackerel, but so far that is it, however your videos inspire me to do more. how far out were you and do you have certain spots you like or is it just random ares you fish, I tend to try and find rockeries on the bed or ship wrecks, I wouldn't mind fishing around some oil rigs or near wind farms, i bet they would be good fishing spots, whats your opinion on what i have said. Appreciate your knowledge of fishing it is very inspiring.
Our boat rigged out cost around £14,000,but that's new. It would doubtless be more now. You can get cheaper second-hand boats but I looked at complete rubbish, driving miles to look at overpriced pieces of junk that looked OK in the photograph. So I went for new. Its a minefield out there, and you never know if the boat's hull has got any water ingress. I don't what to tell you. I don't think you'll get much for less than say £5000,and even then you don't know how the engine has been serviced.
nice boat you look like you haveing fun too my dad has a fishing boat too i go with him fish and his friend i also teach him how to use the equipment on his boat fishing on a boat is really fun
Listen, don't worry, you are so right .I swim about as good as a Dodo with a backpack of lead, so its a one-way ticket. Mike's off filming in Swanage today but before he left I got him to put a mention up on the film to remind people. I wouldn't dream of driving my car without a seat belt yet loads of us jump in boats and power off. I bet there are hundreds nodding in agreement that they forget to put on their kill switch. Well spotted.
I always get a kick out of your productions. Great job with this one also. I've been fishing a long time and I have time in as a commercial rod & reel guy in New England. Well I just picked up a 17 foot Boston Whaler here in Virginia and I'm going to give a few things on this video a shot. We don't really use "booms" on this side but I'll see how they work on Cobia and Short Nose Shark. Again thanks and job well done.
Yes, most anglers use feathers for catching mackerel, but with all the commercial pressure they are under I would say its rare to get a hundred in one session. Sometimes we only just catch enough for bait,and its getting harder every year. I feel you might struggle to get 100 on each trip out in years to come. I can't even remember the last time I caught 100 mackerel. We only usually catch 10/20 for enough bait, then stop catching them.
I own a 17 foot Pilot 590 with a 70 hp Johnson, the pilot 590 is very wide for its length, and handles large swells with ease.Not that I like to go out in rough seas, but if we get a surprise well stay safe and somewhat dry.
Don't ever get fooled by buying a boat (hull) that your are finished. You are generally just starting !! A pit into which your pour money(Continually !) But fun. Or so I keep telling myself. The Wilson Flyer is about the best value starter boat you could buy, but by the time you add engine/trailer/electronics etc I guess I'm into about £14,000.Its probably more, but I try not to think about it. Our 550lb odd Porbeagle shark makes it all worthwhile. Had 3 different species over 100lb in it.
these videos have been very help full as my fishing was a bit hit and miss but yesterday i tryed the chum bag within 1 hour i had my first dog fish and there was plenty of fish atracted to the boat my boat is a 1970 fairline not very stable butt it is a strong boat thanks for your very help full tips
I was on a mark given me by Wayne Comben, north of the Nab.However,you can't fish bass in Langstone harbour, I believe they are still protected. I don't think anyone will tell you where to go bass fishing, as lots are sold ,at least that's what I am told. Wayne is the man to contact on our website. You won't get a bass mark, but you might get a tip or bait technique. Drop him an email,I am sure he will point you in the right direction.
Great video! I’m thinking about joining my local Lady Anglers (Gold Coast Lady Anglers) and would essentially be a complete beginner as I’ve never fished off shore before. I know it will be a bit different here in California, but I loved the video and I appreciate the tips! Thanks from Southern California!
Glad you enjoy it all the way over in Cali...Don't worry about being a beginner I am sure the other club members will be pleased to show you the local tips. You never know,some of our British tips might fool the fish over there as well.
An Ugly Stick.12lb class spinning rod. Broken tip so shorter than it should be.25 years old. Biggest fish on it ? 140lb Tarpon from Islamorada, Florida boated by Mike. This one isn't a rod...it's a relative!!!
Great show Graeme and love the tips. Do you have any tips for pulling the anchor up? I have a bad back and pulling the anchor up with the tide pushing against the boat is not fun and kills my arms and back. I have had a go at using the anchor buoy to lift the anchor up and have had little success as I am worried about getting the anchor rope wrapped around the engine especially in a strong tide. When it works its great but as you know the tide rips through the Solent when the tide is full on.
The Bruce Forsyth of sea fishing. Brilliant 👍😉😁
Just bought my first boat. Great show. Your videos are exactly what us beginners need. Thanks for your time, knowledge and enthusiasm.
You made a better fishing video alone then most whole tv crews can do! Totally awesome!
T3hJones There is an even better "solo" boat film on the way....keep watching !!!
TAFishing i love your boat and thanks for the tips
T3hJones no
This is, bar none, the absolute BEST! Fishing show I have ever seen anywhere, let alone youtube!
On behalf of everyone....Thank you for taking the time to do such an awesome video.
You are so entertaining, Graeme. A natural - cameraman, director, producer, host, and angler!
This video just shows how different fishing cultures can be, in Australia there is absolutely no time we would be excited about catching a ray! Great video none the less!
I'm no fisherman and when I saw the length of your video I was considering passing by. That was a quick hour! A very good video and great to see your experience and enthusiasm bearing fruit.
"Those of the budget conscious, as I am possibly the Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Entertainment plus education for beginners. Love the English humor. I have a slightly smaller boat but always love getting on the water when I can - great therapy, nice video.
Have to say the music just goes perfect , that bit with the Ray underwater footage AWESOME 👏
It was cool to hang out with you for an hour, Gramme! Felt like I was there fishing with ya :) Cheers from Tampa, Florida
Hey man!! watch your videos every time you upload, built my kayak with your inspiration man keep up the great work, fancy seeing you here hehe
Cool , I’m living in the U.K. but come from Bradenton !
Brillant fishing video! The best one I've seen on the web for sea fishing in the UK! Thanks!
I've had my boat for just under a year and now realise where I have been going wrong. Thank you for the video, thoroughly enjoyed it!
17-foot Wilson Flyer.Best value starter boat in the world as far as I'm concerned.
Have orkney longliner 16ft....literaly just starting but heared the orkney would be up there for sure
Hey Great top tips Graeme, Thankyou. Thoroughly enjoy your vids, Greetings from Crete, Greece

Best boat fishing on utube for sure, great onemanshow job
Well impressed to see someone putting nice fish back, well done that man!
That cup of tea moment was hilarious, and very relatable...
Hi Graham, First time out on a charter boat yesterday. Followed your advice and made some clements booms before the day, worked brilliant! I managed to get at the back of the boat and started bumping the lead as per your tips and caught my first smoothhound, first thornback and lots of decent whiting so a big thanks from me.....
Pleased you had a good day.Staying in constant contact with the sea bed is the key.
Sorry, misspelled your name Graeme....
Just got our first small boat. Plan to do lots of fishing. Thanks for putting out this video
Last time I pulled bait elastic to break it cut through my fingers. Enjoyed every minute of the video. Thanks.
Great video again Graeme, i'm a kayak fisherman from the North East of Scotland and i picked up a few top tips from yet another totally awesome fishing video, keep up the fantastic work mate.

Excellent video as always
nice boat you look like you haveing fun too my dad has a fishing boat too i go with him fish and his friend i also teach him how to use the equipment on his boat fishing on a boat is really fun
Alot more boat episodes and shore episodes and ill be happy :)
Listen, don't worry, you are so right .I swim about as good as a Dodo with a backpack of lead, so its a one-way ticket. Mike's off filming in Swanage today but before he left I got him to put a mention up on the film to remind people.

i like everything about you! thank you so much!!
from2018 😎
Love the wee song they play
No, but heard its got great fishing for Cod and Halibut. Might be on the filming agenda, but I don't like the cold weather !!!
Yeah Sam! Was humbled by the goliaths and knows how it goes in the Atlantic
Graeme, you remind me of Bruce Forsyth.
Yes, most anglers use feathers for catching mackerel, but with all the commercial pressure they are under I would say its rare to get a hundred in one session. Sometimes we only just catch enough for bait,and its getting harder every year. I feel you might struggle to get 100 on each trip out in years to come. I can't even remember the last time I caught 100 mackerel. We only usually catch 10/20 for enough bait, then stop catching them.
TA Fishing we need to stop all the foreign trawlers in British waters they are overkilling all our fish species
I own a 17 foot Pilot 590 with a 70 hp Johnson, the pilot 590 is very wide for its length, and handles large swells with ease.Not that I like to go out in rough seas, but if we get a surprise well stay safe and somewhat dry.
Thanks for the lesson.
Cod are a winter species. I was only filming there a couple of weeks ago(July)
Great video,how can 48 people possibly dislike this
Because there dick's
Don't ever get fooled by buying a boat (hull) that your are finished. You are generally just starting !! A pit into which your pour money(Continually !) But fun. Or so I keep telling myself. The Wilson Flyer is about the best value starter boat you could buy, but by the time you add engine/trailer/electronics etc I guess I'm into about £14,000.Its probably more, but I try not to think about it.

these videos have been very help full as my fishing was a bit hit and miss but yesterday i tryed the chum bag within 1 hour i had my first dog fish and there was plenty of fish atracted to the boat my boat is a 1970 fairline not very stable butt it is a strong boat thanks for your very help full tips
+John Lawless Congrats! Glad the video and tips helped, hope you catch more fish!
I was on a mark given me by Wayne Comben, north of the Nab.However,you can't fish bass in Langstone harbour, I believe they are still protected. I don't think anyone will tell you where to go bass fishing, as lots are sold ,at least that's what I am told. Wayne is the man to contact on our website. You won't get a bass mark, but you might get a tip or bait technique. Drop him an email,I am sure he will point you in the right direction.
Thank you very much :)
You guys are my heros BTW haha!
Cheers Graeme.
i love videos graham, top man
Love your show, from SoCal.
Great video! I’m thinking about joining my local Lady Anglers (Gold Coast Lady Anglers) and would essentially be a complete beginner as I’ve never fished off shore before. I know it will be a bit different here in California, but I loved the video and I appreciate the tips! Thanks from Southern California!

Thanks that helped a lot
An Ugly Stick.12lb class spinning rod. Broken tip so shorter than it should be.25 years old. Biggest fish on it ? 140lb Tarpon from Islamorada, Florida boated by Mike. This one isn't a rod...it's a relative!!!
Great show Graeme and love the tips. Do you have any tips for pulling the anchor up? I have a bad back and pulling the anchor up with the tide pushing against the boat is not fun and kills my arms and back. I have had a go at using the anchor buoy to lift the anchor up and have had little success as I am worried about getting the anchor rope wrapped around the engine especially in a strong tide. When it works its great but as you know the tide rips through the Solent when the tide is full on.
Love your show
