fishing should be about technique and skill not how much money you have to spend on tackle think graham does an awesome job of showing that and proving it with simple tactics there is big results.
been an angler for many many years, and yet i really love the way this basic stuff comes across as interesting when Graeme explains it. so glad these shows keep on coming, they take me fishing when i cant get out.
I am a dedicated surface angler; Im not brilliant but I get by. I am quite humble about my methods and exploits, I tend to keep it simple and I always want to learn. My favourite fishing, by a mile, is On The Top. Often, ledgering on the bottom with a 2oz upward inline will always leave me guessing "am I yards away...what IS down there....am I in with a chance or wasting my time?" This video has really encouraged me to get on the float this Autumn. Great information and tips. Thank you again, Graeme
The float is stimulating because you are moving the bait and not,as you say "guessing" whether your bait is anchored in the right place as with a leger weight.
I've used pre frozen ground bait balls if I'm fishing for the whole day . Lob out the frozen bait in a chosen area and leave it to defrost. While thats left fish as normal targeting another area of the swim, as the frozen bait defrosts first the particles bring in the small fish followed buy the larger fish. It's a great way to feed a swim and the fish don't get disturbed and put off feeding give it a go I would love to see the results. And as you say that one's free.keep up the best fishing channel online
Another Friday night at work made better with a dose of graeme. I don't think I've ever seen a bad one on this Channel enjoy all the coarse ones even the tackle shack ones are good there shouldn't be any thumbs down or negative comments written on this channel always a pleasure to watch keep them coming.
You just cannot fault tafishing, you get an hr program-video-masterpiece for just hitting the subscribe button, Graeme in another parallel dimension is a national treasure up their with any wilson- Hargreaves- hayes a true professional giving up his time to upload these flims every week totally awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the things I love about watching your channel is the artist's eye for cinematography that you have. Just - lovely scenes to go along with the awesome fishing.
Another tip for newbies to float fishing. I carry some float rubbers in different sizes in yellow red,white and black. If you are having trouble seeing your float, particularly in rippled water, slip on a float rubber to the top of the float only. It can create a 'stripe' and make it easier to see.
still loving your videos graham! i love how you have time for new people and showing the basics without being condescending! ive spent the last 15 years fishing from a kayak made every mistake along the way! but watching your boat videos has given me the confidence to mould my kayak experience with buying a sib with a 9.9hp selva engine for this summer! boat cost less than it would of for a current top of the range spec hobie kayak(that i own) less than 3.5k for a complete motorised boat settup with portability!
Great tips cant go wronge with anyone of them,love the rods like my own feeder and match great to see you catch double figure carp on them goes to show you dont need 3 pound test curve rods have mote fun with an Avon match r feeder cortinly showed me somethinh new tonigh,love that Avon rod of yours used tohave one the same and i brokethe bottom end of it was never the same again after that.Watching your cat fish video from 3 years ago now just said good bye to mr wiskers ha ha,weather is picking up in ireland think i might get out tomorrow for a two nighter on lough Mask good luck mate.
I'm in Kildare.....weather picking up LMFAO. I'd hate to see what your version of getting worse looks like. Better take a fireplace with you. Seriously though - best of luck this weekend. Lough Mask is a mighty place.
You where right mate got a call from my mate in Kells who i was to meet in Mullingar to head on down to Mask but as you said its still to bad for the West.
Been fishing off and on for the better part of 15 years not knowing what I was doing never caught a fish, haha. Watching your videos and learning from you I finally catch a baby bass ! I can't thank you enough
Awesome vid Graeme. Nice music, lovely, interesting stock shots but most of all loads of useful information pleasantly presented. One of my faves. Thanks
If i could give any advice for those interested when it comes to sweet corn it would be. Use canned corn for the hook and frozen for the feed, reason being sometimes some of the frozen stuff can float. Personally i use canned for both due to the frozen stuff being a little bland. Where as the canned stuff seems to be much more sweeter due juice it soaks in. Also i add the juice out of the can into the ground bait mix. These days canned sweet corn costs very little. Just sayin
This video is fantastic. Like the others! Really learning a lot of you and enjoying the time and effort you out into the edit of videos and structure you lay them out in. Thank you again. Safe lock down...rods at the ready!!!
i always get my line tangled around my rod when i pull it back to cast and its very frustrating! that little tip about turning hands outwards could be a game changer, cant wait to try it out..thanks!
Top TAF stuff as usual - and like everyone says - you make the simplest of advice so watchable enjoyable and memorable. Sad to see what's happened with those commercial shooting fish in a barrel places though. I fished and caught Carp in the UK all through the 80s and never encountered such abused fish with deformed mouths and bloated boilie bodies. Seems to be the norm now. I did see it starting though in some club waters around 1988/1989. I personally would have no interest in fishing a place like that nowadays.
Looking like Inspector gadget with all those rods and nets and handfuls of carp going off at once Graham :) You really do provide about the best escapism there is on this platform. why bother counting sheep to get me off to sleep , just turn on a bit of Pullen and drift off counting carp.
Excellent as usual, I never thought of using a flask to keep milk fresh which is handy. I use a one of those Coleman’s sandwich cool boxes which works really well even on the hottest days.
The most interesting and learning point for me on this video was planning were to walk when you get your hit, away from the snags. I messed up so many times.
Great video as always. I watch a lot of fishing videos, but one thing i never really get any information about is how often one refills the feeder during winter fishing. I have reduced my feeding to only one in five casts (in fast phased water) but I honestly do not find that it does any difference.
(For new people) 13:25 They are called distance sticks buy them instead of using bank sticks as they are smooth the line will come of easier and no chance of snagging on something. Also find one with some pre tied rope so they will always be the same distance, so the next trip all you will need to do is count the raps and you will be good.
You are an absolute legend mate. Your videos are top quality. I think you would benefit having a ghillie with you on your travels. I and hundreds others would like the job. We're fairly close in age. From what I can make out we could be living close. I can help with the driving and I make good tea. Think about it mate you could actually fish more than worrying about the camera all the time. What d'ya reckon mate ? Great video again by the way. P.s Did I spell ghillie correctly? LOl
Hi Graeme, what is your opinion, how important using the water from the lake where you are fishing to mix the ground bait, or just pre mixing the ground bait at home using normal drinking water?
@@TAFishing Thank you for the tip. I waste to much time on the beach to premepering my stuff, if i mix the groundbait at home, i can earlier begin to fishing on the beach, and that is good.
Your supposed to clip up each time before you wind in, not measure the distance on the sticks, thats for when you forget to clip up before winding in or like you say a big fish takes line and you loose the distance.... not trying to be critical, just helpful. Love the show, keep up good work.
DOOGLED Once your feeder is settled on the bottom you take the line of the clip and you then reel in the slack line and put a bend in the quiver. Before you wind in you put the line back on the clip. Would reeling in the slack line and tightening the quiver not cause the feeder to move closer and closer throughout a session or am I being stupid?
@@joebowsher1917 yes will move about a little bit, every so often you check it against the bank sticks/electrical tape, i put tape at my bottom ring when lead settled and rod is in position on rests, then its easy to see visual if tape at butt ring then clip up.
@Wheaten Zoomies Graham is a great all round angler, but hes not a carp angler, it tends to be carp fishing at distance when fishing over a bed of bait or trying to find a small feature in weed when using the line clip is essential. Most feeder reels dont even have line clips that will withstand keep casting to the clip. Thats something that always amazes me about fishing, you can always learn something new (old dog new tricks)
love this channel but how about doing a fishing video once in a while for those of us who know how to fish and we can see you just out fishing having fun.
What are the charges to fish like this? I am a Yank in the deep USA south (Mississippi) and the stocked ponds here have an entry cost and a per pound charge for what your keep.
Russell These sort of lakes are catch and release. They’re stocked with what We call Coarse fish. Not game fish. Not sure on this particular lake but around me they vary between £5 and £20 per day for two rods
Thank you both. Here most of the ponds are stocked with 3 fish species: channel cats, a variety of black bass and sun fish. The size and limit is set by the state and the per pound charge for the bass is usually enough to encourage release unless it is of trophy size . There are lots of wild lakes and rivers here and most stocked ponds are used for family day out fishing.
I've never been one to follow the sheep,I just like doing something different,especially if I am told this "must" be fished in a certain way. I am also trying to put a film together and I need every indication I need if I am looking through the lens or filming something else. Missed bites = no fish,and no fish = no films for you guys. Seems logical to me.
I do enjoy your content but the way you set your rods on the rest triggers my OCD big time. If you're using a bite alarm laying the rods horizontal to the water would provide a much more positive indication. Personally I'd only have the rod up like that on a flooded river... Each to their own I guess
With the abundance of match anglers on TH-cam (no disrespect to them at all) its nice to see a channel for the common people made by a true gent
Agreed. Sponsored down to their underwear and a new manufacturer every three years. I prefer Graeme's well used and mismatched tackle any day.
fishing should be about technique and skill not how much money you have to spend on tackle think graham does an awesome job of showing that and proving it with simple tactics there is big results.
danielcoppock most of the tackle out there is designed to catch anglers more than fish!
Best fishing channel bar none.
One of your best movies about float fishing that you have done. Thank you Graeme
been an angler for many many years, and yet i really love the way this basic stuff comes across as interesting when Graeme explains it. so glad these shows keep on coming, they take me fishing when i cant get out.
You think this basic stuff is interesting check out the Compleat Angler. You be surprised how relevant the info in that 1450s book is.
This makes one a proud viewer. Nothing more exciting than an old school simple snag drag and bag

Very nice video Graeme 👍🎣
Hi Graham, great video mate, very informative - thank you.
Brilliant tips as normal thanks..It helps being new to the art of fishing 🍺👍🏻
Iv fished all over the world and fishing means different things to different people to me it's the jw emotion that you guys bring when I Carnt fish

You da man Graham. Love the videos! My only fault about them is they're to short haha could easily watch a 3 hour video 😂
Great Graeme ! lots of informative tips ! Look forward to your next freshwater episode !

Going fishing tomorrow on float aswell I hope I catch
What does a day ticket cost?

Hello Graeme! You are ruining the tea with MILK!!! If that is the only fault I can find with your vids they must be pretty good! Cheers from Canada!
good video nice work with the carp
I learned a shit-tonne of golden match fishing info just now. Brilliant

Graeme, how do you decide what feeder you're going to use? You have your homemade ones but you also have those little coil, springy ones.
I like that Intro.
Hi Graeme, what is your opinion, how important using the water from the lake where you are fishing to mix the ground bait, or just pre mixing the ground bait at home using normal drinking water?
I often mix at home with tap water,fish don't seem to mind.
@@TAFishing Thank you for the tip. I waste to much time on the beach to premepering my stuff, if i mix the groundbait at home, i can earlier begin to fishing on the beach, and that is good.
Cold guiness .. new upload... my friday is complete
Hi there. When u put the paste on your float hook. How do you present it? Would u completely cover the hook or. ????? Thanks in advance
Keep the paste soft,try and leave a bit of hookpoint showing,and I like to squeeze into a bit of a flat shape.
P.s Graham like a new John Wilson! ITV go fishing with Graham 2020, better than monster carp

Could i ask what umbrella you use?
I have a few I think the largest I use is a sort of plastic material made by Efgeeco I recall.Must be 40 years old.
Thumbs up!!!

Hey I am loving you fishing videos, i am likening the backing music in them is there any chance you can include the tracks in the info cheers
🔥

Why is it so sunny where u are in Britain
In windy conditions, why would you keep your rods raised? Why not have them low down to the water?
love this channel but how about doing a fishing video once in a while for those of us who know how to fish and we can see you just out fishing having fun.
What’s the best hook size for roach/Rudd on the float
About size 16 would be average
Graeme, is there any reason you wouldn't use some elasticated thread to mark the clip up? Apparently that works.
That's how it used be done back in the day before distance sticks came out.
E.S.T on the soundtrack, if I'm not mistaken?!
Absolutely amazing video Graeme! I almost can’t believe that double trouble! You’re a god da”_@# good fisherman with two bags full of luck! Amazing!

Why do you have your rods at a 45° angle. Surly be better lower down so line can run through rings..
It is comical and totally unnecessary along with having quiver tip rods on buzzers, but he likes it.

Are you Bruce Forsyth brother 😂😂😂
P.P.s also a little bit of electical ape on line to mark the distance alternative to the two stick method....
Jeeezzz.. would that not snap the rod🤣🤣🤣🤣. (I know, ' Bloody predictive text'... chortle).
It's good to know that if you have a rigid pouch your balls don't break up.
Ha..Love it...I might use that in a film...
