Tough day in the boat - Giant Crab
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ส.ค. 2024
- The popularity of this channel has long been the fact that you get what you see. If Graeme has a tough one, then you see it, much like that which happens to most of us regular fishermen. He takes an old wooden boat out off the South coast of England, as usual filled with hope but the fish don't want to play ball on this particular day. So back to the Totally Awesome office for some good old fashioned "theory time", one of the favourite topics of both TA Fishing, and our sister channel T.A. Outdoors. Sit back and enjoy, and don't forget to let us know your comments if you have your own particular ideas on Graeme's "theory time"...True ?? Or just a load of hogwash (and what exactly is Hogwash?? anyone know?)

Off topic but want to send best wishes and condolences to the folks in the UK regarding the passing of the queen. A great lady.
Those old wooden boats you use in the videos are just the coolest. As always awesome video G made my Saturday morning so much better. It's not always about what you catch, but seeing you out alone on the open sea in an old wooden boat, I don't know something about that is just so relaxing.
Hopefully I can get out again soon...I need to as they aren't going to be available forever. Plus its a lovely place to fish.
I love the way you don’t put much emphasis on the best rods and reels and so on and just use what you have modified, probably much too the dislike of the tackle companies. But when you catch like this it’s so much more enjoyable.
Great satisfaction from catching either on something you have made up for fishing,or a rod that was broken and thought to be useless.
@@TAFishing Yes indeed I have been catching so many more fish on just the basic gear. Where I live in Norfolk there are lots of Pike anglers using the most expensive of equipment, camouflage gear and the works, yet there are I sitting there with a old battered 4 metre elastic whip, 16 hook regularly catching Pike which I am not after…
@@TAFishing Absolutely agree!
Graham you're mad but you're brilliant at what you do. I suffer from anxiety and depression but watching your videos cheers me up so much. Thank you so much. Dave. 😊
So pleased the films help ,you are certainly not alone ,and I hope the films help to lighten your load.
Mike is right...trees are shedding leaves and seed to try and conserve water and nutrients due to the drought...and there's hardly any bugs flying around, very worrying.
God my house is full of bugs
@@Baron-Ortega 😂😂😂😂😂
It's the same here in E.Devon, there have been few Insects around, the soil is baked hard like concrete and the worms have gone deep to find moisture, so we've been putting extra food out for the Hedgehogs.
@@Baron-Ortega Are they the "listening in types " 😉
It happened in lancs 2018due to drought,, this year in lancs its been the greenst year ever , even the ash trees have fought back and elms have also not had a die off ,,, the sweet chestnuts flowering was ridiculous, , whinberry, plums ect all full up ,, tho insect population seems to be rather random around built up areas ,, tho the songbirds just away have had a bumper year ,,,, ever thought about the amounts of detergents we have been using due to covid msm hype ,, detergents aint good for anything bar killing .
Now that's a boat with character and personality. Glad to see you finally using baitcasting/multiplier gear.
I love watching your video's, you're a very knowledgeable angler, and I've learnt so much watching your video's.
Pleased they might help and that you enjoyed them.
That pigeon gave you a dirty look Graeme 😂
Thanks for sharing Graeme, I enjoyed watching as always regardless of the catch :)
Not every trip is a raging success...but the day can still turn out as being enjoyable.
Beer Head looking beautiful in the sunshine as ever, at the top the foundations of the WW2 Radar Tower are still visible on the walk to Branscombe.
Fellow fanatic for free.99 🥰 thank you for sharing 💞
Great video as always!
I was out there myself a few bays to the west
Handful of Bass caught then called it a day, no fun when the weather decides to turn
Tight Lines!
I was out there this past Tuesday..saw the Bluefins busting Bass and Macks right into Branscombe Beach... Between 4 & 5 pm.
@@TAFishing it’s a fantastic fishery
Such a giggle to watch. You have a great way of seeing things. Love it 👍. Watch you all day long…
Great vids Graeme! I esp love that handmade tiller boat an one lunger motor, the bronze hardware is topnotch unfortunately you cant buy those anymore. Best to you from across the pond, SHW.
Don't copy anybody else. Love it.
Kind of piss taking, but still knowing your own limits.
Best of luck, sir.
Michal
Hello
Yes it’s been a weird old summer.
Love those old Beer pop pop self drives.
That Green Woodpecker - they feed mainly on ants.I found a dead one once that got caught on a barb wire fence.It’s tongue was 6 inches long which is used for fishing out ants from their nests!
Thanks
Tough day but like you said its great to be out! Tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
Been fishing since I was 7 and I’m now 50 and but mainly carp after doing my apprenticeship with all species lol. Done a fair bit of beach fishing but always fancied off the boat as I know how much life is down there being into scuba diving since I was 18. Great videos and great tips so thank you for all your hard work 👍
Excellent video Sir. That old boat that you hire is breaking my heart though. I grew up in Looe in Cornwall and to have a boat like that was, and still is, my dream. My varnish and brushes are screaming at me from the shed! As soon as I get back to the UK, I'm going to track her down and dish out the TLC, so next time you want to hire her, and if she ain't there, don't come looking for her in Cornwall...🤐
Up here, we've had torrential rain for the last few days. The pond and water butts are full, and the car got a free clean. Bye bye summer.
The heat of summer is now just a distant memory. Temperatures starting to drop. I think I may have one more overnighter before the bivvy gets put away for another 9 months.
Hi Graeme, you are right about the Gurnard. Caught a decent one off Weymouth a couple of weeks ago. Was really good to eat, can’t believe we don’t eat more of them!!
Excellent video - thanks!
via Garden Guides "Birch leafminers rarely kill a tree, but they can defoliate almost half of a birch if the infestation is heavy. Such defoliation will cause the tree great stress, and while birch leafminers do not kill birch trees, they create stress on the tree, weakening it and making it susceptible to the more dangerous bronze birch borer, which does not eat the leaves of the tree but instead attacks the sapwood."
A big pirk in luminous colours followed by a 12 inch trace with beads will catch plaice 10 to 1. Also lug on sandy bed, rag on broken ground
So good to see you out Graeme!
Certainly some strange things going on this year, noticed the blackberrys are nearly done and the slows were out a mid way through August. Bird flu here too lots of dead gannets washing up on Cawsand this past week. Nice to see you out in and old clicker boad! Had one years ago and nothing like the sound of the water against the haul!
I know where you are so I won't mention it as you might not want me too but hey amazing those self drive boats and great for a summer session with the family for a day out catching mackerel
Next time try a few lures in and around the reef 🤫😉
Great to see you back on the sea
I should be doing more,but the workload looks like rearing its head again so it doesn't look too promising...Got to get the priorities right with the autumn under way.
Hi Graeme, I've been fishing that headland all summer from my kayak and have had quite a few Pollock out of that very spot. Also had a 3lb bass from the rocks on the other side of the head. Keep up the great content 👍
I really must try a bit of deep trolling like I do in the open boats in Ireland..Could be some good fish around there.As you say,Pollack and Bass.
The dandelions are Autumn hawkbits, which is why their heads are different. Global warming or natural 50 year cyclical effects - who knows for sure, but good and interesting observations Graeme 👍🏻
watching the house martins down Dungeness yesterday Getting ready to go for winter
Geese have been flying in the V formation as well,another sign.
You're not short of a penny.. so
You should dock your big yella boat and that would save soo much hassle, and give you your own boat back!
All hail the High Sea Drifter!! 😄
Pontoon fees are really expensive being in marinas,then I would have to anti foul the hull,extra battery for bilge pump as I wouldn't be checking it every day,and then of course I would be stuck in just one place with whatever species are there. I would soon get bored doing the same thing,which is why I used to tow in order to cover different places.
Really enjoyed watching as always,
Nothing better than being in my wooden boat, catching fish and having a sandwich and a cuppa.
I make my own spinners from tea spoons, caught many of pike and perch.
The Wild Duck best little self drive in Beer . .Dixon Built . .
Please put a life jacket on my old mate👍
Love the videos. It's amazing how much knowledge you guys are sharing every week.
I'd love to see a video with tips on where to start taking a boat out. Something I would love to do but wouldn't even know where to start. I don't much fancy getting lost at sea!
Lovely video,the sound of the waves and the setting,nice one fella, take care love the effort you do for us.
It is a worry when you see your trees and shrubs struggling, especially when it happens regularly and with dry winters too. I even thought my Buddleia had died this year, but a couple of days of rain and it burst into life again. I enjoyed watching the sea fishing trip 👍
It wasn't a hugely productive trip ,but just being afloat in reasonable weather makes it worth the effort. I still have hopes of getting a monster shark in that old boat about half a mile off the headland....Always got to have some sort of target.
Hi Graeme, The bat looks like a noctule. This time of year you can see them in daylight hunting insects high up with Swifts. You can actually throw acorns in the air near them and they will follow them to the ground, bit like playing catch with a Bat.
Great vid as usual mate,and great topics too. not sure whats causcing the holes int eh dry leaves, but the tree's are suffering something called "false autumn" due to the drought, and Mike is quite correct that the tree does it to consrve energy..happened the same in the 70's. I agree with a lot of the insects, but have seen a ton of butterflies this year.
Many years ago in the 70s I was fishing out from Rhyl North Wales and I caught a Tub Gurnard which weighed in at 6ib 2ozs the skipper said they are the chicken of the sea, when I returned home the wife and I ate it, I don't know what the skipper meant saying it was the chicken of the sea but it tasted lovely unfortunately I have never caught one since then, maybe there's time yet who knows.
Have you ever tried creeping mackerel fillet at Folkstone Warren for bass ? . I tried it and they ripped the rod out the tripod . Brilliant series keep them coming .
The electromagnetic envrionment definitely has an effect on insects and has been warned about for years, so your ponderings at the sunflowers and thinking about networks isnt far wrong Graham.
Bees, birds and insects navigate using the earths magnetic fields
I'm now going back to that Sunflower field and see if the flower heads are facing a transmitter mast ??....You have starting my brain whirring again,so that's an added strain for the day.
@@TAFishing 'resonance - beings of frequency' is a good documentary covering the subject long before any 5g hype
You've miss identified the "dandelions". That'll be why the flowers are so small. Great video as usual. Many thanks.
What species were they ? They are all over my main lawn.hundreds of them.
@@TAFishing my best guess would be "Leontodon" (Hawkbits). The stem is just too long and slender to be Dandelion.
I'm a professional gardener and it's been an extremely odd year for the plants, some hardy stuff has died, a lot of stuff hasn't flowered, some stuff has flowered a few times rather than just once and a lot of trees are looking really sad. Bugs wise I would say there have been less around, I've only seen a few slow worms and very few hornets. My lake has been hard work this year, water levels haven't recovered properly in 2 years and the weed has been biblical, it has looked more like a field for the last 6 months and it grows back as fast as you can clear it, fortunately this has meant it stayed oxygenated when we had that blisteringly hot couple of weeks but I am worried about the late autumn/early when the weed starts dying and pulling oxygen out of the water.
climate change covid was a lie its the world on pollution
@@nightmare0161 do you want to pick one conspiracy or are you just going to throw them all into one unintelligible lump?
I couldn't understand it either...If its all a lie where do the "Thomas the Thirds" floating in the sea come from ?..Maybe the Aliens left them there,under the sea bed,and they only rose to the surface when the sea temperatures reach a certain temperature...Then they expand,explode,create a doodoo cloud of epic proportions which blot out the sun,thus creating crop failure and we all die of starvation ,...all seems logical to me...
@@TAFishing Those are just a species of sea cucumber that have fled the deep in fear since the old ones have begun to wake up 😂
@@TAFishing Aliens , It's always the aliens
Another great video mate ,Always a pleasure to watch you,
Hi graham you ok pal, enjoyed the vid as usuall . I thought you would of took that crab home 4 tea . The leaves started to fall in our bk yard about ten days ago which is early. The world has gone mad hahaha. All the best graham from GRIMSBY.
Hi there Grimsby.... No crab for tea for me,I put it back.
Very few swallows, swifts or house martins this year although sand martins seem to be holding up in our area. Hardly seen a slug in the garden this year.
I guess no slugs due to the dry conditions,no hardship doing without those plant snafflers but I also noticed the few swifts/swallows this year were feeding way up high ?? not the usual low swoops.
Your a great guy Graeme :) your videos are so entertaining i love it:) keep up the great work :)
Super awesome watch
Nice one G Man. I get sea sick in a paddling pool so I can’t go out on the boats unfortunately. Been at Deal Pier (where I grew up) lots of pouting for tea!!
Put one of those Pouting on for bait,especially with dark nights coming earlier now...might be a big old Bass sniffing around the pilings.
It’s all very depressing,you will remember the time when we had to clean our windscreen’s with all the stuck on insects.
Could be bird flu 🤦♂️🎣🐟
Correct..Barely any insects on my car this year..many will recognise that.
We're OK for water up here, Wester-Ross, so the trees are OK ut definitely a distinct lack of insects around this year....not even midges
same here in mid sussex, loads of acorns already been shed
Hi there, A fewof years ago I spoke to you at Mylor problem with my prop on a wilson flyer? I fish and garden in Cornwall for the last 40 years. The small holes to the foliage is called 'shot hole' and is caused by a fungus, it's been a good year for fungus! By the way
I liked your 5G comment! The Holes with the rounded edge are leaf cutter bees, when you are potting up in the greeenhouse you may (or may not) have noticed small plugs of leaf which contain a grub of that bee. My pond has had the same problem with lilly leaves this year. Trees that like water have defoliated earlier and you can spot the dominant trees (willows are shallow rooted), Leaf curl in willow is a small wasp sp. On a modern house on clay the subsoil could be panned preventing seepage. Less insects noticeably in recent years. Windscreens are generally clean after a long drive! We had a bat in the bedroom this summer (windows open all summer), talk about grumpy! There is a lot going on with the Sun presently and the Earths rapidly declining magnetosphere
and pole shift. Take a look at Ben Davidson's site here on YT called suspicious observers channel it might answer a few of your questions? Take care love your channel and your attitude...
I did read somewhere that the earth's oribital speed is slowing ?? Does that mean sun stays in one spot for longer,and same for heavy rain ?..
@@TAFishing
Orbital speed not really an issue, what is very noticeable however is the shortening of day length which is our rotation speed, you would not notice as this is in milli-seconds. the whole solar system is undergoing big changes the reasons for this are explained at the yt channel I suggested. He goes into all the major cycles and backs all of it with citations.
Fascinating stuff if a little scary....

NO BEES this year up in NORTH WALES in my area , usually plenty here . very few WASPS this september either , last year there was plenty .
Something peculiar going on in the insect world for sure.
Happy Friday boy's✌
Saw you on antiques road show ! Loved the that’s TOTALLY AWESOME at the end 👍👍👍😂
It just sorted of popped out !!
Which episode was he on please?
Great video 👍🎣🐟🎣👍🍺
Graham, an interesting port to visit is West Bay near Bridport, phone the harbor master first and arrange to do the harbor scouring that happens on a spring low tide :)
Do you mean with a metal detector ? Or is harbour scouring some sort of clean-up operation.
@@TAFishing A river has been damed behind the harbour, on the low of a spring tide the water is relased to dredge the harbour.
love your vids u have a lovely home
A bat hunting in daylight is, probably, a Daubentons Bat although they usually hunt over water
Maybe it was working around the pond as I was filming in that area. I watched some swifts or swallows working the other day,incredibly high ,whereas usually I see them quite low. Must be more insects up higher.
@@TAFishing The swallows here near the Wash have been really high up too in the last couple of weeks. Also, seen hardly any wasps this year despite there being a lot of queens about in the spring. We have a mass of berries on the hawthorn though - broken several branches. Really enjoyed watching your trip out in the old boat.
@@TAFishing Absolutely right, theSwifts/Swallows and bats will, of course follow the insect to wherever they are swarming and, all down to weather conditions. The other thing is that the trees are droping their leaves early precisely because of the drought we have had.
Here in the Netherlands we get deep fried whole gurnards in the fish stands on the street, Gurnards do not fillet well rather like scad.
Yes,I can see what you mean,they must be a strange shape to fillet. I wonder if they strip the skin off first as you would do with something like Dogfish ??...Maybe someone else knows ??
@@TAFishing Here they deep fry them whole with the skin on
They fillet fine, just cut the pin bone strip out…delicious
Something has been sprayed into the air? No insects, fewer birds,leaves falling, they'll tell us its 'Global warming' . Excuse for everything. Other countries sprayed roads pavement everything with disinfectant, we haven't, my pond gets foam on it when it rains very odd. Lots of theories out there.
I have seen planes flying in strange patterns back n forthfor ages and in different parts of the country.
Very odd 🤔. Sweet dreams Graham.
Sweet dreams ??? I will be out there all night looking for crop spraying planes !!
I will watch it later 👍
Nightmare double adverts every 20 seconds on this video (for me anyway). Never had that before.
Every 20 seconds ?? Must be your computer I reckon. Try it on a refresh /reload.
have you thought anymore about staying at beer caravan park on top of the cliff as sure the mrs would love it
Had a look online,no decisions,depends on weather.
Bravo!
your high heat...the plants arent ready for the heat and the sun is more potent right now. the sunflowers might be facing away because the sun is too strong?
A nice red Gurnard is delicious eating
the white boat on your second doggy would annoy the living hell out of me why did they have to come right next to you like that
tough at the topgraham
still clinging to the biggest all-round fishing channel in Europe !!...put up by a 71 year old pensioner...bit funny when you think about it.
hi graeme, another enjoyable fun video, just for curiosity is that beer head with seaton in the distance? the reason i ask is because i recently moved my boat to seaton harbour and i was wondering where the plaice fishing spots were🤔🤫something i like to try either soon or especially when spring arrives again, at the moment there is plenty of black bream to get on with there but i go out a little further 2 - 4 miles in front of seaton beach, maybe you could do another black bream video in that area again at beer because you should do well as there is plenty about, cheers
Yes, Beer Head. I'm still hopeful of getting a Porbeagle or Thresher shark in one of those old boats.
Think the pigeon had been hit with bird flu it was detected on the Isles of scilly last month and found its way up to the North Coast not long after. As for the trees we live on the outskirts of Sheffield and have had weird tree growth this year several different species have been affected by drought also moth damage that made them look as if they were dying, we have an oat tree that seem to be on its way out but at closer inspection is covered in gall wasp apples.
Check to see if the person who has the pastures around you has sprayed with a broadleaf herbicide. The curled leaves can be because of heat, but this year, one of my compost purchases must have been contaminated. I lost a lot of my plants.
I had that with some wallflowers. Obviously diseased so I complained to the supplier and fair play to them they said the origination point in Holland was where the problem came from. So I have scrubbed wallflowers off the list,which we would normally plant around early October. Empty pots this year I'm afraid. we lost a lot of Petunias early this year,but a few have held up really well..Seems the disease/rot was early on in June.
I've not seen the High Seas Drifter for a good while
No,I'm going to sell it,just not getting enough time to use it.
@@TAFishing That's a shame but the old wooden boat is a fine co-star :)
Nice
👏👏👍👍
Daubentons bat.
more swifts than swallows
Have you got a video on how to fish on a self drive boat? Would love to give it a go but know nothing about it ie anchoring tides drifting etc I fear I’d end up lost at sea 😂
Graham where was this self drive boat ⛵ want to do this with my old man. Probably a bit late now. But for next year. Hopefully see you around Portsmouth at some point
Down at Beer,South Devon..I believe they operate to the end of October. I might sneak another trip in myself if I see a weather slot.
Sunflowers only face the sun when young gradually they settle towards facing east
That's interesting,I thought something peculiar was happening as I thought every flower would want to follow the sun round. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Aka (Elvis) from Selsey
Another great video 👍do you have to book the boat or can you just go straight down there on the day
I guess you can just rock up if you don't have a long drive. Better to check the weather as they have to launch off the beach.
Perhaps the bats have to come out earlier to get there quota of insects Graeme, the world is certainly changing,
I have seen it several times at stillwaters I fished this past summer. Are they out earlier because there are fewer insects ?...I don't think I have seen a mosquito this year,but put that down to the drought we have had.
@@TAFishing I Was hoping Colin the kite would have taken that pigeon , is he still alive Graeme?
Only older people with a close connection to nature will notice our world is going down the loo?
what's happend to the dover sole ? i used to catch them off the most easterly point in lowestoft 30 yrs ago ,real big uns, never seem to hear of them now ?.
They do catch Sole on the South coast,mostly at night,but in fairness I don't know if they are Dover Sole. There seems less of all species nowadays.
Please keep us updated as to what came in the night for the pigeon
Nothing !!...The kites had a good few swoops over it but I think it was too heavy for them to cart off..Needs a Buzzard for that.So I heaved it into the field and it was gone next morning. So something in the predatory mold is creeping around in the fields in the dark.
Gurnard are delicious firm flesh bit like chicken definitely a favourite of mine 😋
In reply to anothe comment I saved some eels at our local pond to a kids pool with a pump when it all dried up at Walberton west sussex
Graeme, where's that lifevest you talked about, sir?
Probably in the bottom of the boat somewhere..
The acorns this year are the biggest I’ve ever seen and I’m in Essex. I feel sorry for the fish Lake near me has 100s of dead carp and the local council did nothing
That's a shame. You would think they could contact a local tackle shop and ask where they could get a blower unit from to oxygenate the water ?? Or a local fishing club..Its not rocket science. Sadly once the fish have gone they might take years to replenish naturally.Unless they can be stocked.
@@TAFishing Trouble is they don’t want to spend the money 🤦♂️🤐
The EA can usually supply aerators in emergencies but it has been a nationwide problem this year so I suspect what they had to spare was probably already at work somewhere else. In fairness, oxygen crashes can happen really suddenly and unless you're monitoring levels constantly they're not easy to predict or rectify. Speaking as a fishery manager it's not as simple as some might think, pumps aren't magic unfortunately.
I am noticing most of these things, no insects and what looks like dead trees and heather on the heathland. I remember 1976, but I think this drought is worse. My garden is now full of spiders and their webs and there is no a single insect in any of them, things don’t look good to me…
I guess looking at the spiders webs is also a good way to check on what appears to be a catastrophic drop in insect numbers..I will be out looking..
@@TAFishing I just looked today and 1 or 2 have had success, with a few little Black Fly and a Wasp which was busily being spun up…I think the cooler weather may have helped…I guess it’s like fishing where persistence usually pays off, eventually….
HI Graeme,
Bit of a long message i'm afraid given the death of our Queen.
I did initially message you but deleted it due to the enormity of what is going on.
I message you not as a fellow Fisherman but as a fellow British friend. What we have lost in this Country is Enormous. Our Queen was unbelievable in service and i had the privelage to do close protection for her cousin the Duke of Kent many years ago, and indeed had private chats with The Duke Of Edinburgh. I honestly believe we will never, ever see the likes of our Queen again.
Sorry Graeme but what you see is what you get with me.
She was a one off.
Steve in Fife.
Yes I feel it is indeed the end of an era ,and surely difficult shoes to fill ,in fact I don't think they can be filled, she was a one off as you say. Its been a bit of a strange week.I'm sure there are going to be enormous crowds paying their respects.
Aku sangat menyukai mancing di atas perahu, tapi terkadang aku mabok laut😊👍💪💪👏
what wasps and bees
I think your pigeon eyes are open because you use your muscles to close your eyes ,same reason when you die your mouth opens . 1st time watching was like being on the boat with you , loved it btw are you from S.E. London? Regards Spider
No I'm a country boy from Hampshire ,but family was bombed out from Camberwell in WW2,is that South London ?...My grandfather bought the family west to avoid the bombing while he went back up to the smoke.Trouble is I spent 38 years driving to the East End Factories often twice a week where the furniture was made for my shops,twice a week ,so might be a bit of "Leave it art..yor avin a Giraffe mate !!"....God how I miss those Pies,Mash and Licquor,spattered with vinegar with those brown spices in...I wish you hadn't mentioned London now !!!...
