It has to be said: Graeme is an awesome operator! In 6 hours he's surveyed the entire area from as as many high vantage points, In 12 hours he's contacted the locals; in 24 hours he read the the beach at low tide so well and seen the set ups from broken tackle, that he already knows more about how to fish this spot than most; in 36 hours he's discovered the best located restaurant to leave the ladies to maximize his fishing time; and in 48 hours he pulling out a better stamp of fish than anyone around. What an angler! Thanks for posting - I learnt more from this video than I have from a dozen books. Great stuff.
to hear the excitment in your voice when catching fish,after all the years you have fished speaks volumes to me,you clearly love this hobby i think its great keep up the good work graeme,love watching your vids
Love the way you explain your rigs .you are a dedicated fisherman who lives and breath fishing .keep the videos coming love watching them your a star 😊
Hi Graeme, TAF, Most tackle shop are now in a recycling fishing line scheme , so not burn your discarded or old line, take it to the local Tackle Shop to be safely dispose of, great video again all the best Cheers.
Really good your pointing out the dangers of the cliffs to everyone they fall suddenly and without warning !With the bad weather they are even more likely to fall and erode. The muddy water looks great for fishing in ,good commentary .
As a lad I remember eels sliding through the grass on the sand dunes at 'Wells next the Sea' Norfolk making their way from the 'drains' to the open sea. Really enjoying these Friday evening fishing fests, always something different :)
You guys have really taking shore fishing to the next level in the UK. Here its a sand spike , big salt water spinning rod, a fishfinder slider, lead, big hook with a chunk of mackerel. Thats it. Oh and of course a six pack!!!
I heard the knot of Craig's shock-leader run through the top ring as he cast and winced as I always do ! Perfect video and sound......Well done Graeme.
Brilliant Graeme, the best fishing show on all platforms by far, you have turned a fly only angler into a sea angler and that is solely down to your enthusiasm, your amazing videos and your down to earth attitude, keep it up and i cannot wait until next friday.
I'd rather be excited about a strap Conger,than crying in my beer with no Conger....Luckily I've never been bitten by the ultra cult specimen hunting bug, I catch anything and everything,big or small, and I have had the occasional 4-figure fish so I know what really big looks like...If I lose enthusiasm I fear that's the time to cash in.
As an australia I find your comments about your family so great and real.Ive found about your learning over 2 videos . Including squid which are different and bigger and different species quite educational. This time rigs and bait presentation quite different.. with items I have not seen in my tackle shops. Same as in China. With extendable rods and hand painted floats in my case for river fishing. Including fishing twist inserts in umbrellas for mainly sun or rain.. I can get stainless steel hooks on ebay,100 from 10 to 1 very strong for about $5 au. I bought five packs as they dont rust as other brands do. My main rods and reels are now Shimano and the expensive braid is super fine. Ilove your rod stands but here in Au we have so much sand. The river stands are very small compact inserts from china. If you get the right sellers in china stuff is very cheap with no post. Searching is nessercy.. . But I have not searched for english style tackle. I will in the future. Robby.ko
Graham. If you like bass go to Shoreham Beach about 20 miles up from Brighton along the coast your Catch loads of bass and place and anything else off the beach there on sand eel and fresh lug. There is loads of bass coming in on the beach always at that Mark. Give it a try you won't believe it
Hi Graeme massive fan and love all your videos! In response to your question about using a shock leader with braid , I would say yes 100 percent use a leader depending on where you are fishing! Since using braid I have found that it frays very easily if fishing over mixed to rough ground even using 70-80lb braid. If using only braid it will be the first point of contact you have to your rig so if you are snagged it will likely rub against rocks or barnacles etc. Using a strong mono leader will help to stop the braid rubbing and fraying off. However if I’m fishing over clean sand with no worries of rocks I will use it straight through . I had to learn the hard way by trial and error and loosing a ton of gear😃! Keep up the amazing work you guys do appreciate every video thank you !
Just want to say thank you,I have picked up so many hints and tips from your channel and I'm on my 6th beach fishing session and caught my 1st keepers of whiting. Now looking at targeting bigger fish. Tight lines
Good fishing, plenty of entertainment as always! Nearly lost a rod to a 9lb barbel once, rod went off the rest in under a second whilst I was sat staring at it and sat millimetres from it. Just managed to grab it and land the fish. Every now and then fishing will throw up huge surprises!
That was the worst ever drunk Chinese ventriloquist impression I have heard at the end there Graeme. Once again great video from the Awesome team, thanks guys.
On the subject of leaders, here is my half penneth: - if you are casting a weight, then the 'free' end of the line should have a break strength of 6x the lead weight - so 6 ozs needs line strength of the 'free line' plus 6 or 7 turns on the reel of 60lbs. This gives a safety margin for ant impact loading during the cast, and ought to be used even on an cast, pendulum or ground or any other. The only need for a 'leader' is to have a stronger free line at the end when casting with mainline less than the 6x or it's preferred in order to give greater abrasion resistance for rough ground when using an more easily abraded main line eg braid. The advantage that a separate leader does have is, as you mention , is that it gives a weak point in the form of the mainline/leader knot that can be useful to break off if snagged, and hence not cause a break somewhere along the cast main line length causing you to loose mainline which then needs to be replaced... Better to replace a leader than hundreds of yards of mainline!......
Graeme you're a star! Totally awesome vid this one, especially when your rod and rest get pulled over by that great shore conger. There's loads of tips again and really humourous and entertaining as always, love it :)
Great video Graham, I have fished this coast line, I have never Seen a rod go off the rest on a beach before..all your viewers will have now. great entertainment.... did the women spend much shopping? thanks Ian
Nice finds of used tackle, and a saved conger. Love these vids, even though I live about as far from the sea as it's possible to be. in the Uk. Big push on at the moment to recycle used line. Lots of tackle shops are participating.
When it comes to the pulley rig. If you replace the swivel that you attach the hook length to with a overhand knot, and put a small bead either side of the pulley bead you can get away with using a single length of of line for the whole rig
Hi Graeme, you mentioned having problems with the braid falling off your spools when loaded to the lip and this can be fixed in some cases by popping the spool off and removing some of the shim washers from the drive shaft. By doing this and respooling you'll make the spool load in a cone that is slightly thicker at the front lip and thinner at the reel body which adds just enough resistance and helps prevent the braid getting out of control. The more shims you remove, the more pronounced the cone will be and the more resistance you'll get although this will of course impact ultimate casting distance, if you add shims then you can make the spool cone in the other direction which can add a few yards but can be prone to tangle
Thanks for that tip...I also reckon its something to do with the size of the eyes,especially the butt ring which maybe should be larger for fixed spool reel.I never had problems when I used multipliers,it just seems with braid and fixed spools.
Larger eyes will help reduce "fraps" (loops of line wrapping around the eyes during the cast and causing crack offs) but they won't do much to stop the line falling off the spool as that's got more to do with line lay and the properties of the braid itself. Higher end reels have a cross wrap style of line lay which definitely helps keep braid under control but unless you've got money to burn or use the reels to make money then it's probably not something worth considering. You might find the braid behaves a little better if it's wet as it gives it weight and lubricates it, in freshwater applications it's generally standard practice to wet the spool before giving it the big one with braid but I'm unsure whether this would be a great idea with salt water
I’m so jealous. I’m a few years younger than you but have been stricken with a neurological disorder causing massive weakness- can’t even fly fish or Tenkara now. You are my designated angler.
Greame Class ! Love this ! John wilson is a God ! And you and your boy are his deciples ! CLASS my Friend ! Love the TAFishing show ! Unmissible ! Stuff ! Tight Lines Lads ! :)
St. Audrey's Bay, a nice place to stay, just down the road from Watchet, who's residents will give you a warm welcome. There is a steam train that goes past during the day and there is plenty to see and do around Somerset. Be sure to try the Scrumpy cider!! 🍻 🙂
@@TAFishing I had a long snooze on that same stretch of beach years ago (in my shorts), after consuming some scrumpy and woke up with sunburnt legs. Not good, especially the next day. Very sore! In my vehicles, I carry spray on sun tan lotion, so on days like we've had recently, I use it without fail!
That big bite you know the flyer it reminded me of sea catfish bites. Those fish hit so hard. Personally I've seen 3 rods taken to the deeps. And finally yes tou do need a leader it gives you a bit of stretch that you dont get with braid. Cant wait till next Friday keep it up.
Hello from a subscriber from across the pond. Would love to see a TAFISHING AND TAOUTDOORS combo video where you both do a over night camping /fishing on the beach where you also cook some fish. Just an idea. I love the videos from both you and your son. Keep them coming. Always waiting to watch
another enjoyable vid with lashings of content and humour, classic, it brought back some fond memories as I am bristolian and fished all along the coast for years when I was just a strap conger, now I live down deepest darkest cornwall, salt in the blood I suppose, anyhoo, tight lines and bring on some more.
30lb or 40lb braid can be used as a shock leader for carp fishing and I’ve used it straight trough before. Just use a finger stall. Braid will go through your finger.
Great stuff Graeme.Happened to me once.Baiting second rod, tripod went crashing to a good size smooth hound. Broke a ring and dinged a good reel. Went back to using sand spikes where possible.
Great video. I'm going to rely on them for my fishing this winter as I have to move my dinghy from the nearby quay to my garage until next April. I already miss my summer fishing jaunts but they are nowhere near as productive as Graeme's trips - he even catches fish when walking along the beach!
Think I have been holding the wrong end of my rod for the last 2 years! Probably why I haven't caught anything! Thank you Graeme! Excellent videos as always
It's free, it's weekly and it's awesome! A round of applause for Graham and Mike to show our appreciation 👏👏👏
