Solo Beach Fishing with Weird Squid Fishing Rig
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ส.ค. 2024
- Graeme ventures out on a solo beach fishing expedition after getting some sort of visitation during the night that told him the secrets of a potentially exciting new Squid fishing setup. He must really have the fishing bug bad if he comes up with a setup that possibly no other angler has ever thought about before. You can't say the guy isn't a tryer...but afterwards he hits his Totally Awesome Workshop where he has several jobs lined up, including making a new handle for an antique tool using a piece of seasoned Cherrywood from his log store. Add to that painting of some battered lures and all it adds up to some entertainment to keep you occupied. More important..thinking..How about improving on that weird Squid fishing setup? You never really know, the man could have something going here...

I thought to myself "If he catches anything on that rig then I'll kick the cat" I know I shouldn't have doubted you Graeme but the cat got lucky. Great video again. I could watch people working in their workshops all night long. It gives me ideas for things I want to do. It's great to see such an inovative angler as yourself working with new experiments too, that's why you've written so many books and we haven't.
@Too Good 4 U The cat was lucky. :-)
Finally some beach videos. The best ones!
Agreed. I don't sea fish but I find them the best on the channel.
Hi Steve,
For sure Graeme's Beach and Boat Fishing videos are the best. Maybe that's because he is all alone and his creativity really shines through. This also shows in his Workshop videos.
Steve in Fife.
A good thing for fishing weights are scrap reinforcing bar from building sites where you can chop them into little 1.5 inch & 2 inch lengths so that you can weld a bundle of short lengths around a single longer length & weld a U staple to the end then paint them up as cheap fishing weights. Most handymen out there will have a stick welder or some type of welder & staples from the hardware are very cheap plus if you're a handyman you'll have leftover paint as well that needs to be used up.
For fishing at night for squidding or catching fish around a pier etc I use one of those 36v 4.4Ah electric skateboard batteries connected to a 36v-48v to 12v 10a converter & a 12v 10w submersible LED squid or fishing stick with about 20m of 12v cable on it so that I can dangle it under a boat or over a pier or out into the surf which will give me 12 hours & 40 mins of use during the night while fishing. The best squid jigs I've found were ones that are like a skewer for putting bait onto as well as the squid barbs on the bottom as well as a glow in the dark bean to attract the squid. The squid tend to be caught easier when they are hanging onto a bit of bait as they are being dragged out of the water.
I really enjoyed watching you make the new handle for that tool. There are some things I might have done differently, but purely as a matter of aesthetic or mildly ergonomic value. 20 years ago I'd never have thought I'd enjoy watching someone make a handle for a scraper! We live and learn! 😀
Thanks Graeme, I’m chilled out now. Great to see you experiment in the face of adversity and great to see blanks as a reality. I love the way you care for quality antique tools also.
Really enjoyed that hour with you Graham. Loved the idea of trying something different even if we blank as it’s being out there that matters.
Enjoyed the workshop renovation, keep it up and thanks for all your time & efforts, take care👍
You’re fishing from my go-to favourite spot on Hayling.
I Love that part of the beach/Island.
I’ve blanked there too ☺️
Came for a beach fishing video and stayed for the workshop tool refurb that's just amazing
Graeme, put a fish strip of on the lures back with your elastic thread. The light doesn't catch the squid but attracts plankton and in turn attracts the baitfish. This takes some time to happen, By that time you've cast again. Put a small ball weight on the bottom then a foot up use a stand-off loop of six inches and put your lure on it then repeat maybe with a different lure above. Set your depth, so the weight is just bouncing on the bottom, that will make your jigs move up and down like a panicked prawn with the wave or ripple action by the float. The fish strip can be added if nothing much about. I have put this to good fishing on an eelgrass covered bottom. The fish strip will get a better pull as it makes them more competitive to grab the bait. Have always loved your vids mate both sea and fresh water. Keep up the good work, Graeme and well done. Even got you fishing right next to my boat alongside Brixham breakwater.
Love the experimental Jig Rig, conditions were against you so no squid this time. I hope you stick with that rig and try it in deeper water, I feel sure it would work. I believe a busy mind stops people going senile as you keep the brain active so nothing wrong with that. Again you demonstrate wonderfully how to revive old tools, that handle looked very professional. Thank you for a wonderful post.
Tu equipo de pesca es fantástico. Felicitaciones, eres un gran pescador y tienes mucho éxito, capturaste hermosos peces.👍🎣🥰
abrazo y buena pesca!
Awesome sharing with us. Down here in South Africa fishing alone is sure way to get a fast forward to the afterlife. Great to see there are still normality in the world. PS, my videos rarely show the plenty big fish but rather the outing and enjoyment of fishing :) Keep up the good work.
Great videos , friendly , good humoured , always belies that you’re a hardcore angler who can tough it out better than most and catch specimen fish
What a trooper! Blank and soup time. Like your thinking on the rig front
Tomorrow s my first time beach fishing. I done lots of sea fishing from boats in the past but nothing for 15 years. I learn from the best TA fishing but not sure what bait one will be using as what you have in the south is not what we have in the way of fishing here in Northeast Whitby coast ..The only way to do it is to just get out and do it yeah? Not expecting reply from Greame as he only ever seems to reply as one comment man . Thanks for all your teaching G as watched most of your teaching videos but its never ending gear and i don't have never ending money ................. I will do my best to bring in at least one fish... not a blank but the sea is dying and fish stocks are really bad . Once again thank you for everything ..I will use your methods with a twist of my own
I would suggest getting in touch with your local sea fishing club in the area. They will put you right as to rigs and baits.. Mussels whipped on with bait thread was what I heard up that way,but not big casts or it blasts off. I don't know if lugworm is good up that way. The only fishing I ever did up that way was boat fishing out of St.Abbs. Codling I recall,but from the shore I really don't know. This is the right time of year to try,and fishing into dark should increase your chances., Good luck with it.
Hey Graham really enjoyed this upload, it was like a 2 part split series fishing an bushcraft, gd step by step guide to make an repair your own tools with a new handle an save yourself them pennies, great stuff 👍 much love an respect buddy 👍 😀
The tip about taking a small power bank with you is spot on
Graeme, when you re paint the lures, use a bit of fine net mesh over the top .......... gives a scale type effect, especially if you use spray metallic paint
Another great video GP, if I asked my missus to do my pack up she would roll over laughing...on a serious note back in the day when I did lots of fishing from the boats whitby/bridlington and off the beach at spurn point, I used to paint my hooks with nail varnish, also used it on jigs and lures....works really well and easy to come by in various colours....at work I used to ask my mates to get any old varnish from their wife or girlfriends, ended up with quite a collection.
Sounds a good tip as nail varnish varnish should be fairly hard .
I love beach fishing. i remember getting alumini tray and barbee them chicken wings and sausages!!
You are full of such a good advices...
Will be such a shame...not to learn/Follow/ from you
Thank you🙂👍
All the best from Cr🌞atia
🍀
Thanks for the effort Graham I do lv the old beech fishing one tight lines
That bendy 'scraper' is a filling knife. :-)
Bradawl is a sharp pointy, marking tool. Gimlet is very similar but has a drill like end to help starting screws
Thanks Alan,I knew there was a difference but always got them mixed up.
Love your videos Graham. Keep em coming. great to watch when stuck still home 👍👍
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing. 👌
I have respect for your experimentation I too learned many way using the most basic tactics but always made my own weights and lures, limpet shell is a cheap and effective ledger..
We use something similar squidding. Personally I put the jig and float on a separate trace with a snap swivel. Cast the main rig out and then clip the float and jig on and let it slide out. Can do the same with a strip bait when the mackerel are around.
When I see this video, was my relaxing time! Thank you! God bless you!
Pleased it helped.
Another great video Graeme, not all fishing trips end with monster catches, by the way, your glue will stick better if you wet the wood, the instructions do tell you this, but like you I don't often read them.
Looking forward to seeing you catch on the squid rig down Weymouth
My goodness Graeme that soup looked like wallpaper paste!!
Hi T A glad you are still posting your videos, good luck with your catches! Tight Lines!!!
Greatly enjoy the beach tenting. I loved to throw a rod out when on holiday in Selsey. Lost all pleasure after being told I wasn't allowed to fish on a public beach by random holiday makers.
You don't need a fishing licence for coastal areas. Inland only. The coast is open.
I fear those holidaymakers who are bullying you will not be taking the beach rod out of my ancient hand...there would likely be blood on the dancefloor !!
@@TAFishing And good on you for that, sir!
@@TAFishing Me and pals charter boats now. We have a merry old time even if we all catch kelp. Knowing full well there's some craggy old bint on the shores waving her fist at us. Nevermind, eh?
Great Video Graeme. I like the theory of the rig it should work. Oh and yes your right a Gimlet has a fine threaded end getting courser as it goes up the tool. ATB.
just so you know you can still call the emergency services even without a signal on most UK networks
Without the squid jig this may be the very best way of stopping loosing all your bait each cast to crabs! You might have started something Graham
Good trick salted rag. I had king rag and I didn’t finish them up but I didn’t know how to keep them good as new🤣. Thanks to you Graham.
I did give them a good pasting with salt and that must be what toughens them up. Got to be better than just throwing them away, considering what they now cost.
I’m going early fishing tomorrow of the beach. I haven’t done much beach fishing for 3 months. I’m sadly missing chances of catching a big fish so I’ll give a go. But on Friday it will be back with lake fishing.
Good job! Learned and enjoyed very much!
Another great sea fishing video Graeme, even with the blank... and thanks for the worm and salt tip I'll deffo try that one for sure they look quite good fresh substitutes as you say.
You need that soft hiss and warming light of a Tilley. Night fishing just isn’t the same without one.
Oh my.... Hayling Island.... a hundred yards from my parents house.... I’ve had some nice fish off that beach.... great video 👌👌😁
Is that the sandy point end?
I guessed there would be a float involved. We must think alike.
Grahame the flexible one is a filling knife
The firm one is a scraper lol different tools
Well done Graham the ultimate scratching rig, whats next, are you going to do a Jimmy, I throw an empty hook out with a little sign saying any bites will be appreciated thank you, always say thank you, or the fish will ignore it thinking you are being rude. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Potato, Leeks and some bacon or fatback that's been crisped up. Yum.
Just thinking if you tried a one up, one down rig you would be able to tighten up to the weight, maybe getting better bite indication.
Hello Graeme, another great video. You are very entertaining to watch even just chilling on the beach. My father and I fish at Bournemouth once or twice a week and we had one night of whiting about a month ago but now they seem to have disappeared. Look forward to the next video.
That's interesting to hear,I thought it might be something like my body odour that was keeping the beach fish away from me, so the fact you are not getting Whiting down your way makes me feel a bit better. Whiting should be in plague proportions in November and December I don't understand why they are not in ? Are they late ? Global warming ? eaten by all the intrusive Bluefin ? Or will they not come at all ?..I hope some show up soon or its going to be a biteless Winter on the beaches.
Great stuff Graeme ! Many thanks . Super vid .
Another great video Graeme, can tell you shop at Aldi 👍👍😎
hi, graham, really enjoyed watching, shame there was no fish but like you said you don,t catch every time, the repair was ok to.
Uncle Graham you always make me hungry for what ever you eat!!!
I must be missing a video of you telling about the yellow T A Fishing boat being lost at sea. Sure would enjoy some deep sea fishing with Smith and Mabel as helpers.
Ok Gramae... no 🦑 unless you enjoy it. Good luck mate. Catch me a crappy 😊. Thank you now cook it 🔥. 😊
Used to use car spark plugs for weights just knock the spark plug gap together and put the line thorough
GP. If someone hasn't said already. That 4.0 on the squid jig isn't 40g. It's sink rate and are generally anywhere between 2.5 and 4.0
Already been said..I never had my readers on.
@@TAFishing no worries! Loving the experimentation. Keep up the good work. FYI was on weymouth pier last night. Had one big kraken bounce off and otherwise a quiet night for all on the pier.
Nice vid Better then what’s on tv
As per the norm...quality stuff and top notch advice...Thanks 👍
Forged in Fire - Handle Edition... Doug says "EEt weel scrape"
Hoodie arrived monday its comfy gonna order another soon, got the black one with the logo on the front
Hope its lucky for you.
done just like my grandfather would have done, awesome
Hour Long Beach video on Wednesday!!!! You spoil us uncle Graeme!!
Wait till this Friday's ..over an hour long and a real close-range big fish fest ...
The reason the "scrapper" won't bent?.... That's because its an old putty knife not a scrapper :)
Great video as always with a great bit in the workshop mint stuff
The 4.0 on the squid jig means it sinks a metre every 4 seconds
Thanks..with my eyesight I thought it meant 40 gms...Mind you I have no idea what a gramme is anyway !!
what in TARNAITIONS :] ggs mate keep up the great vids.
Do you ever take any of your devoted followers out with you fishing? Or have a meet and greet fishing weekend?
I know my husband would swim shark infested waters to have the chance to do that?
Thanks ...
Try using ultraviolet light it makes the glow a lot longer and brighter, thanks for the entertaining vids
Hopefully the squids move in over christmas mate. i will be on the pontoon at southdown so if they show would you like to come down and we can go out in MQ ;-) give me a ring
i fish with a hippolito anchor lamp ,, great for light and in the beach shelter ;heat; to keep warm .plus you can warm up pies on them
They certainly give a sense of comfort ,plus warm.
Selsey Mr Pullen?
Possibly Black Jack the water resistant paint would be a better shout? Maybe or maybe not
Hayling Island near Sandy Point.
And this kids, is why grandad gets all annoyed when his sentimental old scraper goes walkabout.
Hayling Island!
Correct !!..Had my biggest shore Cod from there...but don't ask how long ago...it was into double figures from Eastoke corner if I recall.
I adore you .. your a legend
Use one of the larger glow stick it does work !
Ok odd rig but I've seen odder rigs like a 6 hook flapper rig ,3 hook running ledger and a 3 three hook up and over rig. they all caught fish. Worst rig for tangles is a Wessex rig. On the safety note for old codggers like us. One very serious possibility that can happen with out warning is a back spasm. Very painful and it can immobilize you completely some times it's hard to breath they are that painful. Always have your phone to hand or have some one with you.
I've been there several times...a bad spasm will drop you to your knees with pain..its unbelievable,then you are terrified to move in case it spasms again..Osteo told me the pain is to stop you damaging something,the body's way of saying "No" to a particular movement. I do exercises every single morning to hopefully minimise it...Horrible.
Why not use powder coat them. Warm in oven dip in powder and bake. Easier and less messy than paint
Gimlet has a screw tip for boring holes
Graeme is a blank still a blank if you are on a brainstorming session?
Only at 23 minutes so far so don't know if it stayed a blank but great content so far as always.
Can you see beach and inshore fishing ever recovering ? Especially as the gov promised we would have control of of fisheries again
I reckon there is something wrong with the inshore seabed ecology to be honest. I would like to see a survey done by Scuba divers and underwater cameras recording exactly what is "not" down there. Offshore seems better,but the inshore I feel is well off what it used to be. I wonder what pollutants are in the sea bed sand and mud ?..maybe better not to know ??
so ang on, can't we have multiple hooks n baits on one line for carp? plenty of videos with blanks in mate, check out Adam Penning lol
Graeme I am surprised yo do not hang a bucket under your Tripod. I learnt the hard way its easier and safer than any amount of sand and gravel over the end of the legs.. I usually have water in the bucket to wash hands etc
Great video, have you ever tried using the light sticks on dead baits for Pike or Zander at night, i wonder if this would work!
Yes,I believe there is a film up on our playlist where we caught Zander using lightsticks.
What do you think about using pigs liver for bait instead of worms please give me your opinion thanks Mark
Chicken liver is,I undestand,pretty good for Catfishing ,so I imagine the same goes for Pig's liver. I would sooner use worms but if you can get the liver to stay on a small hook why not give it a try ?
Can't beat the old steel, the new stuff just doesn't work.
Did you charge that phone up ? Hope you had enough juice left in that powerpack & make sure you top it up ! Nice one Graeme - this beats BBC1 by a mile 👍
Errrrm was the jig not 4.0 Oz rather than 40g? You might have been fishing the worlds daftest ledger :D
I actually tried a similar thing last year though just using a bubble float to present the rig......sadly bubble floats and bouncy oceans don't get on.
Where did you get the bluey from, I tried everywhere with no luck
Mostly coastal fishing tackle shops should stock them, but I know Finch Farm Fishery usually has frozen packs for Catfishing. You might try them.
Looking at the lump of bluey going out early on, is there any advantage sending it out so big vs splitting it in half along it's length? - split it offers a similar visual-sized bait, larger area for scent release, and your bluey gets two chances rather than one.
Lot of oil in Bluey and down Somerset they often make a wrap of Lugworm and fillet of Bluey so probably worth trying up my way. Mind you they have much stronger tides to push the scent trail laterally along the beach . I used to do quite well by splitting a mackerel head down the centre ,leaving a hinge and then folding it inside out. Gruesome to look at,but appreciated by Bull Huss and Conger.
Tried beach fishing not really a fan I find it a bit impersonal if that makes sense I prefer the calm of fresh water. I’d watch you if you were fishing in a puddle though you’re great.
Sandy point Hayling Island
Not quite the Point or "run" but just west of it...
Its not the rig (which is innovation to say the least) its you can't catch em if they are not in front of you ☝️🧐
Saw buckeyes ( the nuts) on the bench, or are they monster hazelnuts? If they are buckeyes, do you know what the Indians used them for( American)?
Conkers,from the Horse chestnut tree. I believe they do call them Buckeyes in the States. Over here my daughter puts them in the corner of each room to prevent spiders.Old school thing, I heard the same thing when I was a youngster.
@@TAFishing My tribe would grind them and add them to streams to paralyze fish back before whites. It is illegal now due to the greed of them.
Was that langey point ???
No,miles away.Hayling Island.
Charge that phone up Graham and get an Action movie on..
Hi, i love places like this, where is it? i live in Italy.
Hayling Island ,on the South coast of England.
I honestly thought squid was caught in warmer country’s
No,they get them along the South coast,right down to Cornwall. I can't say I have ever heard them being caught off Ireland though.
👍👍👍🇵🇭
32:25 do you think you will ever go marlin fishing again ?
Only if I have a mind blowing offer !! I've done a lot of it so cannot say "I wish"...but of course I do miss those tropical sunshine days,sparkling blue ocean and twang of the tag line on the outrigger as the band breaks and the reel starts shrieking...Usually at this time of year I used to be chasing the Striped Marlin and Sailfish of Mexico's Cabo San Lucas.I check on the sites now and then...they are hauling them in at present which is exactly when I used to be there. End of November/Early December. Even my wife caught Marlin there !!
