Great video Grahame, this was when I stopped to have a chat I was going on the Tench lake, took your advice on peg choice what a session loads of Tench best was 5.5 lb will be back later in the year,keep the vids coming, and lovely to meet you
Ruddy hell, Graeme, I love these overnighters. But what's so interesting about this sesh is that it shows the other side of fishing. You could be on such a potential great lake, have all the right bait, but never quite catching what was expected. We've all had them days/nights. This is the beauty and mystery of fishing. Thanks once again, Graeme, for such a fantastic watch. I saved this until I was off work. Oh, and the beers went down great. Cheers!
That was lovely. That to me is what fishing is all about. The serenity, gentle wildlife, unbeatable natural beautiful, mother in law snoring, unpredictable outcomes, and hot grub cooked outdoors. Perfectly beautiful.
The lack of dawn chores could be due to magpies. They used to shot the magpies at my home golf course, but they stopped about 6 years ago. Since then, slowly over time, all the song birds disappeared. We now only get magpies, crows and occasionally gulls.
I had a nine hour flight out of Dubai with someone that snored like that, several bottles of red wine later, I still could not sleep, how he was not dumped in mid air as we sped away is a miracle. So appreciate, your work, thank you. The T Rex analogy spot on.
Absolutely love it my friend. I've missed these long, die hard style of videos. I often fish overnight in pursuit of many species. This time of year, is a prime time for pre spawn blue and flathead catfish in my area. Not so much for numbers of fish but great for giants. Hoping to get some on film soon.
Well you did not disappoint me beautifully filmed, lovely Rudd with the odd Perch. A great looking lake. You put one hell of a lot of effort into this session from raking out the swims to the smorgasbord of baits and preparations. I can't fault the effort you put in so thanks for posting and giving us great entertainment for over an hour.
Brilliant video Graeme,what lovely Rudd you caught, shame that you didn't catch any tench or carp but that's fishing, looking forward to your next video, stay safe and tight line's 👍🎣.
My Friday ritual, great video graeme. I've been waiting for this video for almost a year. I fished this lake last year and was talking to the owner, about you're previous trip at the tench lake. He said you'd been back fishing and filming.
Along with all of the books I have of yours Graeme, I really really do enjoy your TH-cam videos. It would be true to say I may never fish the seas due to mobility issues but I non the less look forward to your videos sea fishing or otherwise.
Tench are amongst the most inquisitive fish in the pond, if there has been a disturbance they're frequently the first on the scene. One tip I would give with raking is that you want to wrap as much lead around the head as possible because otherwise it'll just skate over the top of a lot of it. I manage a shallow, weedy lake and we didn't really start making a dent with the 6ft wide steel boat rakes until we wrapped about 40lbs of lead strips around them, they're an absolute pig to load onto the dingy now they weigh about 80lbs but you've only got to make one pass over a strip rather than 10 to get it clear
Im out of the states and from a fairly good state for fishing and what not but i get down right jealous when you fish these fishing parks. Even with the rules and all it beats fishing some guys favorite drinking spot or worse! Also im im spag and hotdog man! Thank you for the great movies.
When I buy a tub of Worms from my local Tackle Shop they are usually so Dehydrated that they are almost lifeless, so I give them a fine- mist spray with pre-boiled and cooled water, or rainwater if I can get it. It perks the little blighters up no end and brings them back to life!
Graeme have you ever fished Milton lake at Bury Hill Fisheries? Full of Rudd, Crucians, and Tench. I think it would be a great one to film at over the summer.
I asked a few months ago... do you have access to Zander? We only see it in the states illegally marked as walleye. It is a delicious fish. It is bigger than our walleye. I believe it is the same specie but a different genus.
Sorry you didn't get your target species, but they were very good Rudd and a nice venue. You mentioned there being no dawn chorus. The birds tend to stop singing in mid summer because they are moulting.
All ok,as you say weather shocking so I'm in the garage making the door and windows for the forest hide. Just need some warm weather to fit it all now.
I can honestly say I have never laughed so much in a long time when you described the snoring 😂 from 57 minutes if anyone wants to watch it again! "He cannot be married!" 😂
Re: stirring up the bottom etc, many years ago I went on a fish collecting trip to Ardleigh reservoir. We had a 200ft net which we towed out in an arc from the bank. In the first sweep I think there was something like a handful of fish. When we did the second sweep over the same area, no longer than 30 minutes after the first, the result was something like the cod-end of a trawler net. The net was absolutely stuffed. All sorts were in there but we were after perch , and we weren't disappointed. The bigger fish probably went 3lb+. Too big for us to transport but lovely to see after the decline in perch numbers in the 70's. This was probably 1979.
Hello Terry, hold on rod in the water, how does that work lol lol, great video as always, your content is so so good, looking at those balls of ground bait reminds me of , the pits and big bream fishing, keep them coming, and thank you very much.
Buddy ?? Elf ??...... Is he the man from the crazy "Elf n' Safety" gang ??? The one that says you need 3 people to hold the step ladder if you want to paint your garage......
Im not sure if you remember but we spoke once in winchester on water lane u were fly fishing gave me a fly of a black nat whixh i ha e jever failed to catch on so big thanks!
I expect it was the Black Ant fly that Sid Knight used to tie for me...It was really good on small or big trout,I usually go to it when it goes tougher in the afternoon. Glad it worked for you. Can't say I remember the day,but half the time I don't know why I'm standing in the garage ?? What tool did I come in for ??...Sure I'm not alone in that respect.
@@TAFishing it was! Ive still got the fly! It was awhile back u may remember i had a orange fly line amd my cast wasn't so good lol x ur videos have impoved my fishing life so much i had to thank you for myself and behalf of all anglers who use the knowledge!! X
Happens like that sometimes! Nice rudd though I'm hoping to fish a tiny lake Sunday which says tench go to 9lb had a 10lb bream last time I fished it with a few around the 7 and 8 mark.
Honestly, I much prefer videos were people don't catch their target to the endless carp hauling ones. Videos like this give much more insight into technique as well as a sense of place and atmosphere. And that's fishing - no matter what you do, some days the fish just aren't having it.
I love TA fishing youve inspired me to make my own channel i fish almost everyday the tips u give are amazing i just hope my videos and my channel do aswell as yours! X
Thought the rule of thumb for ground bait wetting, was 50 to 1, for shop bought stuff. 1pt of dry to 1/2 pt of water Uncle Greames mix is whole lot cheaper Means I can go fishing more
Can't think why,but years ago they did ban maggots on the lower Hampshire Avon. I think it was due to the fish going crackers on them. We used to buy a gallon for a session. Imagine that at today's prices...Back then it was 30 bob a gallon (That's £1-50 to youngsters)
That's some serious preparation right there....if those feathered bait robber addicts come steaming in with intent....keep one or two lumps in reserve...fling em way out into the middle...that usually distracts those bird brains.....nice rudd...as well..touch ledgering for me. I reckon....think rudd n perch are day shift critters in my experience Imagine how long such a snorer would last... sleeping out in the African savannah....
It does the job and I have never found one so light...I have others (all secondhand/charity shop ,I'm not buying new )...and they are all fairly heavy.
Great video Grahame, this was when I stopped to have a chat I was going on the Tench lake, took your advice on peg choice what a session loads of Tench best was 5.5 lb will be back later in the year,keep the vids coming, and lovely to meet you

Your a legend Graeme love your course fishing vids
Whenever I go fishing there's always a cheeky Robin after some bait. I consider it good luck to give them some. More polite than those seagulls!
22:14 That underhand cast really surprised me.
I did expect it to go that far.
The lack of dawn chores could be due to magpies. They used to shot the magpies at my home golf course, but they stopped about 6 years ago. Since then, slowly over time, all the song birds disappeared. We now only get magpies, crows and occasionally gulls.
Same in my own place,they are a right pain .
Looks like a beautiful day for fishing!
The ducks were cool, just hanging out on the water
Great video, keep em coming. Stay safe and be well bud. Strength and Honor...
Yas!!! Yer back graham, missed these vids!!

You’re a devil 😅

the pits and big bream fishing, keep them coming, and thank you very much.
Who is Terry ????
@@TAFishing sorry Graeme, long working day mate, 😆
The way you threw that rake, it reminded me of Tessa Sanderson throwing the Javelin. Lol.
Haha...that's a name from the past.....I remember the javelins at secondary school...its a wonder we never killed anyone.....
Best tfa for a long time. Beautiful rudd.
Hello bro , you should try woodlands thirsk you can get some decent carp and chubb and bream there opening a doubles lake very soon meaning 10lbs + 🙂
I have some waders with zippers in the front.
Very handy when you have to take a pee :)
57min 30secs comedy gold 🤣 👌 thanks Graham 👍
Get rid of the squeezy lids and invest in some bobbins, it won’t kill you my friend and it will save you a lot of hassle
Graeme , your groundbait throwing technique is very reminiscent of Buddy's snowball throwing in the film Elf 😁👍

Awesome video as always!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Learning everything from you 😊
Hey Graham buddy, thanks for upload, really enjoy your overnight expeditions awesome mate ,much love an maximum respect everyone 👍❤🙏
Great watch greame beautiful views and food looked good
Great vid!🍺🍺
Nice video Graeme 🎣 , Dame shame no monster tench 😕. Was probably because of that guy Snoring 😴, vibrations pushing the fish away 🤪
Love This Channel 🔥💯👍🔥💯👍🔥💯👍

That snoring guy had me crying 🤣
Graham you’re raking it in😆😀
weeding out the smaller fish !
Have you tried float fishing at night. Starlight on a waggled is great fun for tench and bream!
Great videos
enjoyed this one
That felt like one of my fishing trips! Lovely rudd though!
Those Rudd were so pretty…just needed to a lb bigger 👍🏽😊
Great video,can't believe you use the same high tech bobbin as me🤣🤣,they don't makem like that now sadly...
I love TA fishing youve inspired me to make my own channel i fish almost everyday the tips u give are amazing i just hope my videos and my channel do aswell as yours! X
Graeme, just watched the pyramid bread freeline vid.. Cracking, what hook was it please?
Got no way of remembering.Could have been a size 4 barbless ..Kamasan maybe ? either way it would have been a wide gape hook,which I quite like.
Awesome, I just tried it with paste today.. Through the colum snaffled by angry carp exciting times.. Thanks for the videos I love em.
Graham is a leg end he really makes me want to get back into fishing
On about old mates snooring "he's obviously ran out of petrol now" lmfao
Good Stuff!!! - 👍
That's an insane amount of bait.
Tin of irish stew add a tin of drained potatoes and crumble an oxo cube up into it
I'm going to try that one...I remember gnawing on an ox cube as a kid .....
Graeme, drop an oxo cube in the Irish stew or beef casserole .............. mmmmm
bagus bangett.,sukses selalu ya
Great work boss
I am curious what kind of tent do you use?
Its called a bivvy..don't know the make. My son bought it brand new for £50 .
Thought the rule of thumb for ground bait wetting, was 50 to 1, for shop bought stuff.
1pt of dry to 1/2 pt of water
Uncle Greames mix is whole lot cheaper Means I can go fishing more
Depends what type of fishing , time of year and venue. Pellets work for some of the time, ground bait for others.
I'm not disappointed, you caught so good looking fish and it was relaxing.
That food also looked yummy. 😀👍
I have ‘Go fishing for Tench’ that you wrote and published in 1989 😊🌞
I should have read it myself...maybe I would have caught one ...
@@TAFishing great chapter on raking 😂👍tight lines Graeme
I guess I know why I don't catch many fish, I don't start out at noon and spend £50 in food before I even wet a line lol
I thought you were going to start planting tomatoes when you pulled out the rake lol
That was a Snoreanosaurus Rex, Graeme !
Good video
Its a lot of work tbh. Not sure I could go through all that now. Im a bit old school.
I’m fishing at a place called cackle hill rn and maggots r banned for some reason
Can't think why,but years ago they did ban maggots on the lower Hampshire Avon. I think it was due to the fish going crackers on them. We used to buy a gallon for a session. Imagine that at today's prices...Back then it was 30 bob a gallon (That's £1-50 to youngsters)
@@TAFishing yeah I’m fishing for catfish and was going to try them on my hair rig but then was told they r banned here
@@TAFishing there’s a 126 pounder in here
@Limp DickMick69 u can’t just use them cus the baliff checks ur rigs
Get yourself a heat diffuser for simmer
Thanks for the tip.

Hi
the snoring kept the fish away,,,,,
👍👍👍
I wish you would get a new comfortable chair as you deserve some comfort, i have pulled better one's out of the cut : )
All the best.
It does the job and I have never found one so light...I have others (all secondhand/charity shop ,I'm not buying new )...and they are all fairly heavy.
@@TAFishing He is saving bucks for all the shop bought bait.
Going elf mode with grown bait....
👍🎣👍🍺
I can almost smell the stew ...
I think he needs a few more baits
This fishing trip must cost 200 pounds in chumming?
im sure that robin can eat its own weight in maggots lol
I remember reading somewhere they can eat 17-feet of worms in a day ?..Is that true ?? Any birdologists out there know ?
I'm shocked! Shop bought worms.... shop bought groundbait!? You'll be getting a new chair next.
I know,its shocking for me as well...but no new chair plans yet.
@@TAFishing glad to hear it, you had me worried.
Somebody or something went past you at 54 on the screen.
Big big big. Little fish are more fun, rather catch small fish all day than sit there like a gnome.
