Hey Graeme, great fishing with earth worms and floats. Reminds me of being a boy fishing in the pond. But that’s not what I wanted to comment on. I built a light box for my wife to use in her design business. I used a fluorescent light and the white plastic so the light was better dispersed across the entire surface. That was years before LEDs were so readily available. With LEDs the power consumption is minuscule compared to incandescent or fluorescent and there are dimmable models that will help preserve your eyesight. Just a couple of ideas for you to consider to make your task more enjoyable. Love your fishing show and everything you do helping Mike in the Outdoors. You can consider me a fan and an admirer of your tenacity, your skills and abilities. From Central Illinois, USA, Danny Matthews
Thanks again Graeme for another interesting fish trip, looking at those slides and hearing about your fishing career and fishing experditions you must be one of the most expierianced fisherman in the World. Keep them coming, its great to see your are still really enjoying your fishing!!!!
Nice to see some old slides Graeme, I remember the days of my dad giving us slide shows on his projector and screen of his various adventures over the world.
Slide show was great. Makes me proud to live in Canada. Dug worms with my 4 boys for years. Teaching them how to dig them, and ultimately bait their own hooks, was a right of passage. Also lessened my workload. Looking forward to next one as always.
I found my files of black & white negatives..Even I am shocked as I have over 20,000 negs alone and that's without possibly the same(or more) in 35mm colour slides..I must have spent a fortune on films and developing with all the stills photography I used to do. I aim to put something up in the next few weeks,might be a bit of nostalgia for some of the older fishermen. Just a bucketload of work scanning them in though.
@@TAFishing hi graeme I did nt have any money for groundbait at my tackle shop so I used mash potato's and caught so many fish in one session I thought I was in heaven thank you for the recommendation from you potato fishing
I know what you mean about the "age thing" Graeme. When I was younger and not arthritic, it was nothing to be out all night fishing with my brother or little boy (Oh where does the time go? He's grown now...). Nowadays, about sundown, thoughts of a Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout and a good book start their siren song. By the way, you have aged mighty gracefully, I'd say. I on the other hand, have aged like a cooler full of bait that got forgotten for a week in an estate wagon during an August heat wave. Cheers.
Worms will reproduce QUICKLY TA by just adding your apple peels, melon rind, carrot peels , apple peels, any leafy vegetable clippings - avoid all onions, citrus, and tomatoes. (enzymes and acids that will harm the worms (rather, chase them off) And be wary of overlooking seeds from the kitchen scraps - unless you like surprises (pleasant enough) - Bob's ur Uncle
Free bait is good bait! I started a worm farm for this reason. All the worms I can use plus some to go in the garden. The worm juice from the bottom is excellent for the garden too. As kids we would put a piece of white bread on the soil under some wet newspaper. Leave it over-night and hey presto! Worms galore. If you can find some of those perch with a bit of size to them, they're pretty good eating. We have them here in Oz in the southern states like New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. We don't see them much in Queensland as it's a bit too warm for them luckily.
I love your little projects ! 😮 the way you use stuff that you have collected ! I love watching all your videos I can’t get enough of them ! They are brilliant , also TA outdoors ! Keep it up I love it
If you have a few flower borders have a word with your tree surgeon and see if he can drop off some wood chip when he’s working nearby. Most tree surgeons are glad to get rid of wood chip and it’s usually cheap or even free if he’s working nearby , saves them a trip back to their yard. Wood chip helps stop weeds 👍keeps ground moist 👍 and as it breaks down worms Love it👍.
The tree man tells me everything now goes straight to a bio fuel burner ?? Whatever that is ? Must produce even more Carbon ?? But then I don't know how it works.
@@TAFishing 🤔pity the tree surgeon can’t help 🤔, had some willow wood chip on my boarders and it looked tidy but because it’s soft wood it breaks down into soil in a couple of years, but I get those small red worms that bream and perch love . I just add more willow chip when the needed 👍tidy boarders 👍and worms
@@TAFishing carbon, pollution, water pollution, all boils down to to many people in the world. The Human race can’t keep expanding , consuming, developing the world . We have to start regulating are own numbers before it’s to late, but all the politicians can say is we need more growth, more building, more expansion more more more. Mankind is greedy Graham ,are Rivers are being polluted by sewage companies in front of the the EA who have turned a blind eye to this for years. 🙈Companies pay the EA so they can discharge waste into are rivers. 🤔 I wonder if the EA monitor these companies with the same vigour as they have monitored the private sewage treatment companies 🙈🙉🙊. Maybe a topic for your channel how are waterways have changed. For the better or have they got worse.🤔 Keep posting.🤔 sorry for the moaning 😉
I regularly get plagued by perch in the summer when fishing with worms for tincas. Also the get hordes of rudd nibbling at them. Sometimes a banded pellet is the only solution, as lob worms often bring the jack in.
I do ok on worms as i have a huge rabbit compose heap full of brandlings for groundbait, and for lobs i serch my ally cracks on a wet night.. and keep loads of big ones caught in my worm hostel.. and feed them rabbit pellets and coffee grounds, does so well they now breed in my hostel given me worms anytime witg just the occational top up of fresh bigger worms if i only have small ones left 🥰
A tip for us oldies (past sell by date 73) find the eyes not so good for tying hook and swivels. Take piece of cardboard with white on one side and dark on the other side and tie your light lines over the dark side and visa versa really helps especially with the smaller hooks. Regards from Cape Town South Africa
I used to have a compost bin, well i just cut the bottom off a black bin and and put all the cooking wast in it could grab out handfuls of tiger worms in not time at all for fishing they work a treat
I have since made an upgrade and done some black & white negs,but it needs toning down a bit,as you say. I might find a white frosted material to blend the light more.
I look forward to your Friday videos Graham. Re. small perch swallowing the hook, I find those little pumpkinseed sunfish are even worse. They are a real pest in one of the lakes I fish in Dorset.
A 5/16" Drill is close enough for screwing the rod rests into Wood (8.3 mm being the Ideal size) but almost everyone will have a 5/16" one. And will screw in & out a few times before it strips!! - Then the Tape can be used!!
I agree free bait is always a good start. I've found that a swim feeder with sweetcorn rig works very well for Bream Roach on the Tees the odd Chub too! I've never caught Perch on Sweetcorn. Some times it's a Bream session, lots between 2 and 4lb. I have a question regarding landing net cleaning after catching Bream, what's best method as all that slime ha ha sure stinks even if I remove a load of it at the spot where I am fishing.
Thanks, I do wash it in the river and shake it off I'll put it in the shed, as don't have a glass house. A friend of mine said put it in the washer ... Eew nope I'll pass ha ha.
Where did your rod rests go towards the end? Did they give up mid way through? I'm with you on the cold.....my fishing trips usually slow right up this time of year
I trod on them fighting a fish and made them loose,so back to the workshop for another piece of wood and countersink the correct thread nuts in the holes,that will solve the problem,but they worked a treat before I fell over them.
I'm nitpicking, I realise, but does anyone else reckon GP could go full production value by adding some sound absorption panels to his indoor recording areas? Homemade obviously!...
Nothing wrong with some straw and clay insulation,plastered on the office walls and held up with some pallet wood...wife might put in a serious "no" resolution to that one..
Your right that fits in with with where I fish I love your channel. ,! It’s all new again to me, grass & ghost carp never existed in my day ! Not to mention all the fancy bait & rigs
I wonder how many fishermen will try it..just to see...catch a fish and then start doing it every time ....Its big medicine...I've done it for years,but then a lot of us fishermen are superstitous...
Hi Graeme, Superb as always. Every time i watch your uploads i wonder what's coming next. You certainly surprise us each and every time. It's always refreshing and the workshop stuff is superb as is your new Studio stuff. That really is a great setup you have for a recap on things. I'm feeling much better now after 10 days in Bed with what turned out to be proper Food Poisoning after some more tests with Doctor. Back on the Trucks next week for a Plumb Merchants. Might get some free Fishing Weights. Ha Ha. Cheers Graeme, Steve in Fife.
Glad to hear you are better...watch those layby wagon food stops if you had food poisoning..I once had a superb giant Burger in County Sligo Ireland on the way up to Tope fish from Rathmullen..Tasted great,really enjoyed it.until about midnight...Next 2 days bouncing between bed and the porcelain bowl !!...not to be repeated..deffo was a dodgy Burger as I had eaten nothing for the whole day as was a long drive..2 days Tope fishing wasted !!...Stay safe on the trucks.
@@TAFishing Thanks Graeme. Some may say oh come on 10 days ill with food poisoning but trust me when you have the real thing it's flooring. What pissed me off the most was that i couldn't get out there by the Sea. Half my Holiday time was wasted doing hee haw laid up. Thanks again Graeme for remembering me after all you have got 300 k subs. Steve.
Graeme you need to get yourself a circular saw and wood sawing blades for it, I know that reciprocating saw ( sawzall) works for cutting wood but a circular saw would work better for you. Just a thought buddy. I know you already have a jigsaw don't you, those work for cutting shapes and things like that. Hmmm, my bad I don't know why I'm telling these things I'm sure you already know all that. I'm just blabbing, in words, haha!
I have two electric circulars but always buried in a box while the recip is always to hand for all the logburner stuff...Mike has a Makita battery one and that is good but he keeps asking for it back when I borrow it...I can't think why ??
I don't get time due to property work and of course cost of fuel etc...I don't live anywhere near the sea. Might do a bit of beach fishing soon,just ploughing the jobs down at the moment.
Had a first time thing yesterday fishing, a perch the size of my bait decided to be greedy and try to take the whole thing, so I couldn't actually get the hook out, and it died. Is this a normal thing to happen or? (Great video by the way mate 👍)

Wow what an incredible garden you have! I assume you have a sit on mower to cover all that?
Skimmers love a soft paste made from the groundbait you're using. Great bait for a mixed fishery.
Thanks G thats awesome fun thanks ❤😊
No probs,more films to come..wait till 2023..starting Jan I will put up all the new films I have stacked up.
Like it Graeme
Awesome and informative video, great job
That's what IV been doing also getting worms also the carpark when damp is covered in lobs
I regularly get plagued by perch in the summer when fishing with worms for tincas.
Also the get hordes of rudd nibbling at them.
Sometimes a banded pellet is the only solution, as lob worms often bring the jack in.

Loving this ace fishing and ace looking at your old slides for sure the weather is bad atm
I'm not even thinking of fishing,worked last 10 days straight to get joblist under control,but once weather settles I aim to be out.
Thanks for the video Graeme.

I used to have a compost bin, well i just cut the bottom off a black bin and and put all the cooking wast in it could grab out handfuls of tiger worms in not time at all for fishing they work a treat
Threaded inserts would work well in that wood. Oops I’m forgetting myself we don’t buy anything if we can make it. Great video as always.
The light box, I'd use white perspex personally, would reduce glare and over exposure on the slides, nice contraption.
I have since made an upgrade and done some black & white negs,but it needs toning down a bit,as you say. I might find a white frosted material to blend the light more.
I've made a very similar wooden block for my bank sticks. The hole size is perfect for the the sticks so can still August the hight.
I look forward to your Friday videos Graham. Re. small perch swallowing the hook, I find those little pumpkinseed sunfish are even worse. They are a real pest in one of the lakes I fish in Dorset.

It happens with Perch,especially the small ones. They are a greedy fish with a large mouth for the size of their body.
