Really enjoyed your video, as always your sense of humour and wide interests make it really enjoyable to watch. Thankyou! As a lad 40 plus years ago followed your stores in the Angling Times. All that time and you are still make people smile…
I find it best not to take it all too seriously ,we need to have a bit of fun somewhere in life or we are under the jurisdiction of the misery police who never see the point of humour and want it all banned.
It's Saturday morning here just outside Brisbane and I'm sitting on my patio watching this. When you dropped your magnet in the well I looked around my yard to see if I could spot it. No joy so maybe it was in my neighbours yard. The volume of water in your well is roughly 25,620 litres based on 3 foot radius by 32 feet deep.
When you hooked that fish I thought 💭 “Brilliant the BC has thrown up a last minute beauty for GP” Then heartbreak....funny as hell with the potty mouth though 😂🎣
Not been sea fishing for years used to go with my brother's but they packed up. But as I get older I'm seriously considering taking it up again thanks to your fantastic video's. Keep up the sterling work
Thank you for another great entertaining film Graeme . I live close to the sea here in Torpoint Cornwall but never done any sea fishing love watching you I do my fishing at Bake Lakes
Top job as usual! I came across a few videos about paint/ammo can stoves, and thought it would be right up your alley. I think we all need to see a Graeme Pullen version!
Another varied and fun video of not only some great fishing even with out catching much and then simple ideas for reusing a knackered keepnet and then some fun with magnets in a well
Graeme, You are probably the best Angling Show on the net, without a doubt. I have done a lot of fresh water fishing and its nice to learn about sea fishing in such a real way. Would love to stock up on maceral for the freezer. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment, I do try to mix the various species and techniques up. I could no way target just one species which would have me taking up knitting instead...All-round angling has stood me in good stead which is why I am still keen to get out on the water.
Great video Graham Thank you for sharing. Tight lines Sir Graham. What you do for Fishishing is amazing. That's from my heart. Stay well safe and sound best wishes to all your family. I hope you are well?
Graeme, I had the same problem last winter. Little buggers chewed through my landing net which I'd had since I was in my early teens, 54 this year. So I used potatoes in my traps. Works every time!!
that sound reminded me of when we used an old penny and a tin can as a bite alarm, maybe you remember those times and it was old money, love the videos keep going we are still younger than our years
Just got in from a night session in Holyhead. No blank but dozens of little whiting. Squid and Anchovy fillet cocktail bait. Anchovy fillets out of a can Graeme... less than 50p for 10 to 12 fillets, and they hold up pretty well with squid and bait elastic. Give em a go!
It was cold here today too. Never got over 34° F. Freezing rain and wind tonight. Fished a few hours before it got bad. Couple catfish to 30 lbs whis is what I was after. Can't complain about getting what you want!
Hi Graeme, That's tough fishing there on rough ground. Feel your pain. Really enjoy your workshop stuff though. Such a great mix to your videos. Your a really positive man which is a thumbs up from me buddy. Steve in Fife.
More than a bit of fun a Graeme experience with only one swear word not edited out. Can't get enough of these uploads, from the sea, to the mouse droppings to the tackle shed. As always the sense of humour shines through and the filming is perfect. As a by the way we get Kites that take bread (half slices) in the garden, my problem is squirrels digging up bulbs and as soon as I take the air rifle out to shoot them they are gone. I might throw the television out altogether if you keep this amount of content up. Can I ask what sized leads you use fishing from the shore near Burnham on Sea?
I have never fished Burnham on Sea so no idea on leads. You need to ask local fishing clubs or local tackle shop. I imagine usual 4 to 6 ounce grips,but maybe the tide is less further up the Channel...I agree with the air rifle comment. I have Mike's PCP here and my own spring.22 sometimes I feel like letting both go at the same time just to see if I can get lucky !!..If you look on Mike's TA Outdoors a couple weeks ago our tree surgeon Ryan shows the incredible damage grey squirrels do to our native woodland with their bark stripping...Interesting as I never knew until he showed us the tree scars.
Your well. 6ft x 32ft. Will convert to metres 1st I don't do Imperial. 1.83m diameter by 9.75m deep. Volume of a cylinder is Pi x radius squared x the height. Radius is half the diameter which is 0.915m. So volume in metres cubed is pi(3.14) x 0.915m x 0.915m x 9.75m = 25.6 metres cubed, which is 25600 litres/approx 5630 UK gallons/ 6760 US gallons. Good vid Graeme cheers.
The solution to the bait sliding up is to use elastic under the bottomhool, so lash about ten times under the hook and then back over the hook up the shank, this stops the bait sliding up or down
Once again Greaeme a lovely video ,thank you, watched you yesterday with Mike in the forest, that's a fantastic series, carnt believe you gave him some of your precious pallet wood never known you to give anything away . Regards to Colin haven't seen him for a while 😎
Just got back tonight from another nut-busting session of graft in Mike's woodland. More chain sawing,more branch dragging ,more log cutting..A hard day but worth it..Going back tomorrow to tidy up. Possibly might take him some more pallet wood,depending how generous I feel in the morning...
Great vid again Graham I think I can give you the reason for the black sand I work down the coast at hinkly point and they,ve been dredging for the new outlet I may be wrong but it makes sense I think 🎣👊👏👏
hi graeme hope your both well mate , the fishing around the bristol channel has been hard going for a few weeks now !! i fish mainly between stolford and minehead all over the reefs on low water and the flooding tides . ive seen a lot of this black sand around around for a few weeks now . things are changing around the somerset coast all the time . take care chap see you on the beach
It does seem to change. I don't fancy some of the low water marks on my own,and my feet certainly don't like it,but I know they give the better fishing. They need some 600 yard piers built down there !
@@TAFishing now 600 yard piers would be great for us chap . Many years ago there was long piers but during the war they were all ripped down and some were destroyed by storms . Take care on them rocks Graeme all the best to you
Hello Grahame superb vid as always a suggestion from me as an avid retired beach match angler try circle hooks when your getting them bites might get you few more fish i hope ,respect as always also try 12 inch running ledger with a 18 inch snood won many a match with this when the goin got tough, but don't tell everyone 👍
I've seen trout trying to get up beach streams as well as sand ells and small mullet, so the bass might be stalking these places out in ireland for the smaller species .
I was once told when fishing if your near somewhere with a small stream running into the sea it was a good spot to try and I've been told of people getting lucky catching flatfish especially flounder, as I'm sure you know flounder don't mind fresh water I've seen em caught 2 miles up river under a waterfall and not just one I saw an old gentleman with his split cane course rod t centre pinn reel and he had 3 big flounder on worm and I was spinning so only catching trout. Its weird the fresh water thing!
I remember when our Co Durham beaches had black breakers as it was all sea coal now they white and the cod fishing just isn’t the same. I’ve caught only small codling up to 4.5lb on my channel so far and only lost one bigger one so far
the black sand is probably from when the coal used to come over from wales to the porlock area they used to unload just below porlock and upwards of the ivy stone ( there is still a hut there ) i used to fish a bit further down from the hut for pollack
If you don't own a tv the beach is always on. The concrete lumps with timber in are a Keel from a boat, the black sand if claggy is possibly coal ground up. Ground up volcanic black stuff is more like a normal sand.
Hi, black sand beaches are quite common here on the Shaky Isles of NZ, especially on the west coast, the iron sand is a volcanic product, hot in the sun, magnetic and its a hell of a job to get it out of your gear. All the same, the fishing is good! Cheers mate. Harera
we have black sands here in alaska. its due to the slate in the area. also glacial deposits. check if any streams nearby originate with slate rock. ground rock from rivers will deposit the sand at the ocean.
That is coal sand as in particles of coal and those posts look like some kind of moorings for maybe a coal mine nearby as they shifted off or on shore. I could be wrong, but we have seen the same on the shores up here in the North, the coal sand that is or as we call it black sand.
Would love to hear the unbleeped version as I'm sure it's pretty close to when I stubbed my toe and fell up the stairs afew nights ago and spilt my cup of tea over my self 🤣🤣🤣
How about putting a GoPro down the well to see if there are subterranean creatures lurking. The Descent is definitley one of the scariest films of the last 20yrs.
watch you dont fall down the well , lower a go pro down and have a look around, as i was watching Mr Pullen fishing in the well i was imagining Mrs Pullen looking out the window shaking her head and thinking , he has finally lost it, or how funny it would be if a courier walked in with a parcel to see a man fishing in the well.
Answer to the rock question Keuper Marl (the red coloured rock)with white bands of Alabaster (gypsum).,. Formed by sediments falling into anerobc conditions(very little oxygen. The cliffs at Aust under the Bridge are also of this type....
The black sand in New Zealand is caused by volcanic activity. See Mt Taranaki eruption. It's been spread up and down the west coast by sea currents. In places we mine it for the Iron. West coast beaches are also renowned for great fishing off the beach
The weed can ball into clumps around points and where I am in this video is strong tidal flow. Middle of the beach holds the grip weight better,but yes,you are correct that sometimes points or headlands can be hotspots. Depends on tide and weed.
further along the coastline to st audries bay is blue anchor, theres some lovely pink quartz in the mud above the water line, i would imagine those sleepers have been a wharf from olden days or days gone by. watchet itself used to be the port used to load iron ore from the brendon hills, the ore was shipped to south wales, those sleepers couldve been some thing to do with that trade this all happened in the 19th century but mining in this area has been going way before the romans invaded these islands
I believe Watchet up the road is a 1000 year old port ,and I have always wanted to fish high water at Blue Anchor for flatties but have been told its mostly Dogfish. I have only ever dug worms there. Maybe in the Spring I'll take a session fishing there.
@@TAFishing its more than 1000 year old port, they say watchet has no signs of being taken by the romans but yet theres roman forts all around the area, i live in the brendan hills behind watchet and we have a bronze age/ roman fort, the anglo saxons took watchet from the natives around 680AD so it couldve been a port since then, saying that iron stone was quarried here way before that time ,
They are a popular boat for sure ,but just not for me.A "V" hull is good for cutting through choppy water but I find they roll more at anchor. As 90 percent of the time is usually at anchor or drifting rather than just ripping around I want to be in a comfort zone and actually enjoy the day. The Cathedral hull seems to give me that comfort ,I don't want to be rolling around in a "V" hull all day.
Ain't being funny Graham love ur channel and videos but fishing for rays u want a nice 4ft trace flat on the bottom the pulley rig ur using is why u lost those fish mate use the pulley dropper rig or a simple running ledger pennel rig with a long snood or a paternoster with a long trace .not slating ur fishing mate just a simple tip to catch more fish one angler to another ...keep up the good work mate love the channel and give smithy hell ....haha 👍tight lines
I am from West Denmark and our beaches almost changes from month to month. Shingles, sandy, Lots of seaweed, no seaweed and so on. But yes, that does look different…?
I find myself willing the fish to bite ( and stay on). Which is silly, I know, as its pre-recorded. Still I'm glad it wasn't a blank.I enjoy the random stuff too.
It was a really good fish I lost..Annoying as I put so much into driving there,the cold,the steep cliff climb down,and the session itself...but of course life never gives you what you think you deserve..it actually owes you nothing...
I don't personally,but we used to hook up a Whiting and leave it out for a Cod,but that was years ago. We don't seem to get the big shore Cod any more.

Sometimes our beach in South Australia goes black from seaweed after rough waters through winter. Keep up the good work. 👍
Graham try fishing a up and over rig with a 4-5ft snood on so you know the bait is on the bottom so rays can site over the bait better.
Love your show G🔥❤️💪🙌. Warm here in Miami at the moment. Love watching your vids
Hi there Miami,send some of that heat over here...we could do with it ...
Love your channel, went fishing yesterday got 6 good size pollock, first time beach casting in years!!!
Good fishing,well done.
Graham the best bait for mouse traps without a shadow of doubt is a piece of jaffa cake. Try different baits and I wager the Jaffa cake will win !!!
Brilliant vlog Graham as usual, i keep meaning 1 day meeting u over pondwood or finch farm fishery

Shore fishing here along the n w coast is really tough going at the moment.
Seems tough everywhere at present, nobody seems to know why.
Lol, you should visit New Zealand, our entire West coast is black sand! It’s iron sand. Drop a magnet in it and see what happens.
Awesome
I have noticed you seem to fish most of the time in the middle of the beach. Is there a reason for that, I figured the points were best?
The weed can ball into clumps around points and where I am in this video is strong tidal flow. Middle of the beach holds the grip weight better,but yes,you are correct that sometimes points or headlands can be hotspots. Depends on tide and weed.
Your well is approx 169.69640 cubic feet of water,the smaller well drop a go pro and light down it on a line

What is a beach rod u recommend under £30 and a reel under £20
I don't do tackle stuff really,all mine is quite old,but your local tackle shop should be able to help you out.
