Thank you Graham for all your fishing adventures, you do a remarkable job of fishing and filming, and giving us a lot of your knowledge, in my eyes you are a legend, thank you Graham keep going old boy.
Had a very good relaxing Sunday watching 13 hours marathon of Graeme. And really loving this TA fishing episode . like the super cool grandad I wish had. Don't get me wrong my grandad was really cool 25 years in the army and air force and also loved fishing but unfortunately he passed before I was born. ... Absolutely love this channel . I've said on all the posts that I'm just getting back into fishing after nearly 20-years so much because everything has changed.. Graham's style of fishing is old school and that is the best type of fishing. Go with the gut 😁
Love the Warwickshire Avon. It's such a pity you never tried dead baiting the minnows. There are some really big Perch in there. My dad and me had 14 the one day up to 4Lb. The zander also take the minnows as do the big Chub. Strangest fish We caught on the Avon was a great big rogue Rainbow Trout of about 5lb on bread. Some great big bream in there too and the odd Tench and carp. My dad was known as the Zander man and he even ended up dying in the Avon (true story) . God bless him. Thanks for this video Graham really enjoyed it.
Don’t suppose you know how far from the Saxon mill bridge this spot was do you? I went today it’s a mess! Couldn’t work out where it was any good, this video location would be good. Cheers mate. ( I live in Warwick )
I used to bailiff this stretch for Warwick AC . It’s a very lovely place .. until after dark 😀😀. Above the weir in the mill race used to be the best Dace fishery in Warwickshire. I’ve had them to 11oz and seen them caught over a pound . However the finest fish I ever saw from there I caught myself . A stunning December roach of 2.1 🌞🌞the fish of a lifetime. I absolutely loved the place but couldn’t manage it on my own . Then there were the cormorants and the fish kill and the issues with access and ornithologists . Listen out for the big splash at night .. ☺️the local tales tell it all . Baz peck
@@TAFishing Well that’s not too bad a “hang up” catching marlin. I was obsessed with catching a huge tench for years and ended up constantly disappointed. I caught one eventually but it was only when i stopped trying .
a tip for cheap bait: buy 20-25kg of mixed pellet for £30-35. you can then separate the larger pellets for carp/cats and use the smaller ones for river fishing buy 20-25kg of unprepared seed/spod mix for £20-25. both bags will usually do a season saving me hundreds in little tackle shop visits
What more can you ask for to start the weekend? Graeme takes us to a beautiful piece of countryside and catches a real mixed bag of fish including a nice perch and large eels. The kind of fishing that requires careful casting and a lot of thought. He makes it look effortless but from experience I know its not. The last three/four fishing videos have been outstanding, thanks for posting. A small tip not fishing related if you want to make authentic teak oil 70 percent white spirit 30 percent boiled linseed oil. That's a recipe from a very old company I used to work for.
Really good to see this. Don't think I would have slept a wink with that creepy old gaff nearby. Fished once in a similiar place and my mates lept out with a spook mask on. ...... Im 64 and still havent got over it. Luv what you do Graham. 👍
Great place, I’ve never fished here but just 15 minutes drive from home. Expensive to eat and drink at Saxon Mill! I love fishing the Warwickshire Avon, the Birmingham or Stratford books are very good value for money.
The river used to be on the Warwick D.A.A book some years ago. Guys Cliffe caught fire whilst the BBC were filming there many years ago and was never rebuilt afterwards.
Trout or Dace are my choice of livebaits. They seem to last for ages, got to admit I always feel a little guilty when putting them on the trebles, but they outperform a deadbait or a lure many times over. I can catch 5-10 Pike in a day session, I'm lucky to get a single run on deadbaits
Nice to see those eels👍 my local stream is supposed to only have trout in it but I spent a couple of mornings this week ledgering worms only to discover it’s full of good sized eels averaging about 1/2lb but with some bigger ones too. Nice to have something else to fish for as coarse fish are unknown in the local rivers.
This venue has been recommended to me by a friend. I’ve seen some lovely fish caught from there of most species but I had no idea it was such hard work. This intrigues me more as any fish caught must be a good result. Nice video once again 👍
nice one ! and also nice to see a river with some Eel's in it, especially of that size...when I was younger, Eel's were one a chuck in a lot of rivers and drains, now, not so much. great vid.
What a nice place to fish, took my six yr old granson fishing earlier today and got loads of small and big size Roch and one 5lb common carp both happy and going again at the weekend here in Blackpool, always good to see you out fishing Graham
Wow , I woulda Bet You Woulda Caught Some Slammers , One Great Perch , I woulda Guessed A Catfish During the evening hours ,But That's Fishin 🎣 , Beautiful Spot For A Nights Stay And Cook up , What Else Can Ya Say But Totally Awesome ! Keep It Reelin 🦈🎣👀😁
Thank you Graeme, just shows how hard River Fishing can be. I spent 3 hours on a great stretch of the Avon in Worcestershire last night, a couple of Chublets and multiple .Eels, 4-5 baits tried, multiple areas of water. Good on the guys for opening this up, it will come into it's own once the fish recognise the bait.
I think pike and perch are the most beautiful fish. This video takes me back to days of wading through stingers and brush to get at the River Cam back in the 80s……
Puddle fishing is here to stay as its about the only way a lot of the public can stand a chance of catching a fish at short notice...Must be thousands of these fisheries all over Britain..Its the river fishing that seems to have got harder ,so I can't promise more river fishing films ,I just get what I get. Lakes,Rivers,Boat,Beach,Trout,(and puddles !)
I fish the river around a mile down stream, the place has been decimated by otters, I used to catch a lot of chub and bream and they have completely disappeared. Where he is there, there are a lot of pike and yes there would be no way in hell I’d night fish that place it’s spooky as hell, fished it a lot as a kid. Good luck to the new owners looks like a lot of work been done.
Nice video Graeme 🎣😉. That was some great Jungle fishing 👍, maybe next time take a Machete along. I always have one with me , especially in the summer months here in B.C 🇨🇦. Not just for hacking thow the bush, defense as well - Blk Bears- Coyotes - Cougars- Wolf's and now Raccoons attacking people. Can deal with bug bites 😐, but something twice bigger than me 🥴.
This place is just minutes from where i live, i`ve fished it for over 40 years now it`s actually been very heavily fished over the years. Full of pike, good for dace bashing and some nice carp further down towards the dog track. The weir peg next to the pub is easily the most heavily fished river peg in the Warwick/Leamington district! The stretch is also used for wild swimming and canoeing during the summer, a nice place!
great video mate love it, but one beer ????? i love these vids as some of us know how to fish so we can just watch and enjoy without you saying you have to do this and that, please do more 4 the folk who know how 2 fish.
Another very interesting video! Such beautiful scenery to fish in! Very different fishing style to me, very precise, sensitive baiting setups. Are there any links to whatever your rod holders with the alarms are called? Very interesting system! Great video and best of luck! Keep exploring those wonderful areas!
Fantastic video that Greaeme, must be really exciting finding a lost River and being one of the first explorer's to fish it . I only watched it once, but saw it twice, did Smith do all the editing on that one or did the sun get to you,. 😀😀😂
Dr Livingston I presume!... welcome to my world ..it can be rewarding.....blood sweat an tears...on yet another strangely fish depleted UK river...be cool to get one of those river carp...toss him some five bean salad....nice perch.....a big eel??...I lost here big eels this year...couldn't get them to fit into the landing net....small garbled hook so no problem for em... Always use barbless hooks for eels.....still rankles.....that was classic eel damage to your dead bait...good effort...
Interesting spot. Piers Gaveston "favourite" of King Edward II was executed here. There was a hermitage cave with cockle shell and glass interior. Also naturalised bamboo on the bank. A spooky enough billet.
Apparently the pinnacle of supernatural activity in Warwickshire. I once went to an open day at Guys Cliffe house . Very very creepy and heavy atmosphere. We went In to the sandstone caves and the now Masonic temple . Couldn’t wait to get out .
Great video. Im sure many of us would like to see you catch a seatrout at night on the fly. Lots of rivers within striking distance from you that carry some big fish. So you up for it ?
i wonder if they electro fished it and removed large amounts of pike? also when you got the tin of mixed beans out i thought nice one, carp bait and then you ate them lol
Anyone from Redditch here? Arrows been producing some beautiful Trout for through May and June for me! Haven’t fished the Avon yet this year though, does anyone know who owns this stretch?
Indeed , Slimy And Always Swallows The Hook Down, I Have On occasion Skinned One And Filleted It Cut It In About 2inch strips For Blue Cat Bait , I Have Some Success With that , I Also Soaked the Eel Pieces In chunks of magic cheese Catfish Bait , That Definitely Worked For Me , The eel soaks it up like a sponge and hold the hook well , I like a piece about 2 Inches long and and 3/8 wide , a long slinder Piece Of the cut eel Fillet ,I will split the end it gives. It some fluttering action in the water with current ,
@@harrylucas7664 I wonder if zander have gotten up that far yet . They only used to go as far as the weir below which came up from myton road . I’m dying to see what this stretch produces now with anglers on it again . When I bailiffed it I had so many problems with Eastern European’s taking fish etc . Being by myself I couldn’t do a thing . They did the same to Hopyards as well
@@MidlandAngler they have yeah, on the Saxon Facebook page there’s a picture of Alex, he had a monster of a zander, was a good double. I’ve never had one out of the river before myself only ever the canal but even then I’ve had some nice decent sized zanders.. They seem to be a problem everywhere
Try a bass spinnerbait on some 65lb PE line. You'll never snag again & pike love them. I fish creeks just like these except with 10x more sunken timber.
Went out of Morrow Bay here on the central coast of California, and caught some nice Red snapper (5 pounders) and other rockfish and a nice fat Lingcod.. Limited out in a couple of hours..Felt really good to get a nice Lingcod...
I used to fish five miles downstream from there. Over the years I had chub to 6lb, barbel, carp and pike nudging double figures and some really big spooky Zander at dusk. That was 20 years ago mind. Like most of our rivers the fish stocks aren't what they were.
I've always wondered, is it "allowed" to take small roach or minnows for live or dead bait? I always thought it's frowned upon, or is it a case by case basis on what fisheries allow it? Used to use sprats for dead baits when I went pike fishing, some of the best childhood memories out on the bank chasing toothy monsters :)
Just check each fishery you go to . You can buy small (0r large) Roach frozen from many tackle shops. I was recently shown some big frozen Roach that must have gone 2lbs apiece. I will try to get a photo of them ,quite impressive,but I would sooner have caught them on my match rod,rather than feed them to a Pike. I can't seem to find any fresh Sprats any more which was my favourite bait for deadbait twitching. I know some tackle shops sell them but the fresh Sprats which I could then grade and freeze into sizes are just not about now. Maybe Billingsgate fish market might have them .
@TAFishing I always used to go to the supermarket and get some sprats from the fish counter. Great bait for Pike, had a beast down Duxford farms on a very small tributary of the Thames, very little room to fight, took 15 mins to get him in.. My all time favourite fresh water species.
Been watching your old films where you’ve been using different baits like the garden peas I used them last weekend and had some success. Just watched the film where you used chips. Is there any other weird and wacky baits you use that work for carp.
Here's a challenge for ya! Turn the nettles into fishing line and catch net to bring home the fish! You can do it! I am jealous of your 7 foot nettle. The tallest I have been able to grow them is around 4 ft here.
Great underarm casting skills, I can do it but not the power you generate. Great video too. I’d struggle at 40 trying to beat my way through that foliage 😂
My local stretch good to see you on it . Wry underrated stretch with carp to 30 in and I’ve had pike just shy of 26 and chub to 6 if your lucky to u might catch grayling and there rare barbel in there to gotta love the Saxon mill

Totally Awesome Fishing Graham a real master class.
What a magical place. I hope you go back there again, when they've cleared a few more paths through the jungle.
I love how you enjoy catching any size of fish and not just out for the big carp like most lake dwellers
Life is too short to concentrate on just one species of fish, I know as I got "hung up" many years ago chasing big Marlin.
@@TAFishing Well that’s not too bad a “hang up” catching marlin. I was obsessed with catching a huge tench for years and ended up constantly disappointed. I caught one eventually but it was only when i stopped trying .
very good vidios watch all of them and the editings good as well john nottingham thanks graham

As always best fishing tutorial on TH-cam 👍🏻
Fridays evening viewing sorted get in Graham perfectly timed 😎👍
i was thinking exactly the same, grab a beer!

Anyone from Redditch here? Arrows been producing some beautiful Trout for through May and June for me! Haven’t fished the Avon yet this year though, does anyone know who owns this stretch?
It says in the film ? Saxon Mill fishery.
Wow, hardcore overnighting near that creepy building.
Just out of interest Graeme. What is your preferred type of mono fishing line? Is there 1 that does all things at various breaking strains?
I gotta say I hate getting an eel on, they always seem to swallow the hook right down.

Try a bass spinnerbait on some 65lb PE line.

I kept expecting David Attenborough to appear and saying here the local tribe (looking at graham)
Have years of fishing experience etc..
Maybe the Otters got there first. Round my way they love a bit of Pike. Also we get the occasional Seal swim upstream and gorge on the chunky fishes.
Went out of Morrow Bay here on the central coast of California, and caught some nice Red snapper (5 pounders) and other rockfish and a nice fat Lingcod.. Limited out in a couple of hours..Felt really good to get a nice Lingcod...

Got something very similar only ten mins drive from me. New swims and club created. Just not got round to fishing it yet.
Nice looking pike at 31:20
I used to fish five miles downstream from there. Over the years I had chub to 6lb, barbel, carp and pike nudging double figures and some really big spooky Zander at dusk. That was 20 years ago mind. Like most of our rivers the fish stocks aren't what they were.
5 miles would be wasperton would it ??
I'd like them to have maintained a bit of vegetation next to the river bank as cover and erosion protection!"!
was that a can of abbots ale i see there you ge brownie points for drinking a good beer
What is this amazing fishery called and whereabouts in the UK is it, I'm determined to go there sometime
Amazes me how they built them buildings compared with today’s houses which are knocked up
Thought you might have tried one of those beans on your hook Graeme.
I might just give them a try,they are already cooked so soft..Wonder which one would be the best ??

No thanks
isnt 30c too hot for the fish to be active?
Here's a challenge for ya! Turn the nettles into fishing line and catch net to bring home the fish! You can do it! I am jealous of your 7 foot nettle. The tallest I have been able to grow them is around 4 ft here.
It looks really nice place where are you fishing at
How a river should be, still a bit wild.
Great underarm casting skills, I can do it but not the power you generate.
Great video too. I’d struggle at 40 trying to beat my way through that foliage 😂
My local stretch good to see you on it . Wry underrated stretch with carp to 30 in and I’ve had pike just shy of 26 and chub to 6 if your lucky to u might catch grayling and there rare barbel in there to gotta love the Saxon mill
Blimey you make it sound like the Dorset stour 👀👀👀
