Fishing with Frozen Prawns: Great Session!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ต.ค. 2024
- Fishing with Frozen Prawns. An afternoon session at a day ticket fishery gave Graeme the chance to try both legering and floatfishing at the same time. His favoured bait was a whole frozen prawn and his target was to catch a decent Perch. But with bites slow he decided to experiment when he started getting small bites on his float with the large bait...so he decided to scale down to a barbless Blued hook,spade end,whipped onto lighter hooklink and use tiny pieces of prawn he cut up with scissors..It was the best decision he has made for a long time, as the smaller Prawn sections certainly did the trick and he ended up with a great day catching a variety of species...It may be that you haven't tried tiny prawn sections yet but it certainly looks like something to try....50 minutes of lakeside commentary,GP style,there could be some tips to get you the extra fish on your next fishing trip...Enjoy

Could you tell me where I can buy your sea fishing books please Graeme?
Thanks for sharing your fishing trip!! Very enjoyed
Were is this fishing lake looks good
You are so engaging Graeme, long may you keep producing videos. Keep on doing what you are doing. Much, much appreciated 👍
More films to come,I'm editing clips right now..Mike has also just put one up on his channel TA Outdoors,so a double whammy for our viewers tonight.
Allways great to see love all the fishing videos you make I must get back out on the bank soon
That seat collapse caught me as much by surprise as it did you !! 😂
I've used prawns for bream.. I like experimenting with "novelty" baits, I've also caught 'em on malteazers & mini marshmallows !! 🙃
😎👍☘️🍺
Your fishing is very nice.
Wish to see much more like this. Thanks for sharing your video.
What a relaxing way to start the weekend, another great video thanks Graeme.
No problems...I enjoyed the day fishing as it was a good mix up of techniques and different species rather than the usual "Charlie Carp" all day.
Nice video Graham, cracking bit of info on using prawns. Roll on some good news and good weather for all of us. Cheers stay safe mate
I love fishing with super market baits prawn, hotdog, obviously sweetcorn I watched a fairly old video of yours from 5 yrs ago yesterday Drop-lobbing fishing the Dropshot with lobs maybe you could do another video Drop-Prawning 😆 lol I can't see how it wouldnt work 😉 excellent video throughly enjoyed your channel 😀
Some great looking roach and rudd there what a great session !!
Thanks Graeme, I enjoyed that. I've also gone and ordered a hoody so I'm a proper Awesome Angler now. Keep up the good work. And if my test results are negative tomorrow "Fingers crossed" I'll be out next week fishing my local lake.
Hopefully you get a negative and can get out.
Another enjoyable video Graeme, thanks!
Unfortunatly my son has confirmed covid ( probably from college) so we are in the middle of 2 weeks isolation and my fishing adventures are put on hold. Fortunately he has not been to bad with it so we are keeping our fingers crossed we can get back to normal soon. Thanks for the video. Been binge watching the old videos to keep me going during our isolation. Amazing how you have not aged a day in all those years Graeme......:). Stay safe and well everyone and tight lines.
Not aged a day ?...The creaking joints first thing in the morning tell a different story. Stay safe with the Covid nightmare....hope your son is OK.
Hello Graeme. Beautiful lake and ugly worms make for great fishing and an exceptional video. Have a great day my man. Also those fish you caught were really good.
Getting ready for ice fishing. Have your TA Fishing Hoodie, tee shirt plus a hat labelled with “Smith” across the peak. Just waiting for a couple more inches of ice.
Covid hitting British Columbia hard at the moment. Thanks for keeping our spirits up.
I think Mike only has the "Smith" hoodie at present,but I have nothing at all to do with Merch side,I will ask him...He is currently flat out trying to package up his new T.A. Outdoors Backpack which has sold out in 3 hours !!..(.Pinching all our Scotch tape for boxes...) Links to clothing in the description.
Love it .... ‘expect there’s a prawn expert out there somewhere ..’classic GP.😂
There usually is, telling me I'm doing it all wrong....of course the fish don't read the comments section luckily so I'll just keep on bending the rod.
That's TA fishing! Nice session there on a non standard bait :)
I haven't fished in the UK since the 80's. The Roach and Rudd fishing doesn't seem to be what it used to be size wise.
Last time I tried prawns in a river I was after good Perch. What happened though is I hooked what I can only assume was a Salmon or big Sea Trout. It stripped about 100 yards of 8 pound line and pinged off when it hit the end. Nothing I could do. It was like hooking a shark on a pole. I didn't have any say over it. I just stood there watching the line peel off until there was non left.
I'm gonna give Prawns another go soon though - Perch are my winter species and I've been chucking Prawns into a few spots for the last month or so. Hopefully it'll pay off when I start using them as bait.
Sounds like a Salmon...they do rig a Prawn with a plastic vane so it spins on some rivers just for Salmon.
Lovely day fishing G, wish i was there enjoying the day 👍👍
I was waiting for that another Prawns fishing session! Another Awesome video! Thank you, Sir! Have a good one!✌🎣😎
Stay safe out there everyone....
@@TAFishing That's right....Stay Healthy and Be Safe Everyone!
very nice fishing videos
Fair play Graene great vid! I do videos on tournament and distance casting and decided today to film a fishing trip and it was an absolute nightmare trying to film it all with uneven ground, kit and bait everywhere, 3 rods, slippy rocks. Dont think people realise the effort goes into a lot of these videos thanks enjoy them.
Its fine when you have 2 people,one does the filming etc,the other does the posing etc,but making a film entirely on your own (without doing it over several days,mostly just a few hours) is actually full on and can be quite stressful. Wait till the camera goes over on the tripod and smashes..even more fun..You need over 100 clips at least to allow for editing,unless you just gawp into the lens all the time while talking .I've always done photo journalism years ago so I know the importance of extra shots...Good luck with your next sesh.
Everyone loves them shrimp!
I enjoy few anglers as much as you, sir.
Thank you

Greetings South Carolina...
Tom Spotley here. Norfolk’s foremost authority on prawns. I’m a prawn expect. You’re selection and use of prawns is exemplary and you should be commended. Please get in contact as we’d like you to personally open our new prawn convention centre.
My whole family are prawns. Can I come too?
Awesome as usual buddy ..
Our favorite #1 Fisherman 🐟 🏆🏆🏆
Holy smoly 🤣🤣 great channel
Really enjoyed this video
Another great video, you have been on telly in our kitchen since 9am this morning :)
Thank you for all the video keeping me sane
No worries...the editing keeps me sane as well...its either editing or even more gardening jobs.
Man that's mega perchy those swims on this lake! about time we got a Good Perch Video graham, stay away from them carp! and more Perch and Zander videos in future fella! lol...
Great fishing prawns killer bait 👍
Top notch fishing as always mate, keep up the great content. Any more shark videos coming any time soon?
No,I never bothered with all the Covid problems and marinas that were closing to public. Have to wait until next year .
Your better half must be angelic to put up with you!
Angelic ????...I'm telling her that..might get me a free afternoon fishing...
Now we are at the time of year where the dark mornings means its time for a TA Fishing video before I drain one of my garden ponds (hoping to get rid of all blanket weed and duck weed). What an excellent video to start the day. Never used prawns, then we didn't have supermarkets in the 60's. That looked like a great venue, plenty of bins for rubbish so no excuses to leave any on the bank. Lets look at your fishing was that six/seven varieties on the prawn amazing. No swearing on camera (collapsed chair) I bet there was a bit off camera. You bring a bit of sunshine into our lives with your videos Graeme so thanks for posting.
In the late 1960's I was catching on fresh brown shrimps that I could buy from the local wet fishmonger. Wrote an article in the old ANGLING magazine edited by Brian Harris, article called "Shrub on Shrimp.Hic" so anyone who has a vintage copy of the mag can check that I do not speak with forked tongue (except to the wife when I want to go fishing)...I haven't seen fresh brown shrimps around for years...But then you don't see the fishmongers in my town shops any more,mostly in supermarkets if anything.
@@TAFishing I used to have a book called Mr Crabtree goes fishing (illustrated for us thickies) I read and re-read it countless times. "He" would use baits like par boiled potato and the more common baits like maggots, worms bread etc. Never caught on par boiled potato but still had fun trying.
reminds me of the bbc in caversham,great lake.....monster carp....roach and rudd galore ,great vid Graeme
Keep on fishin', Greame. Cheers mate
Great video, beautiful silvers !
Awesome as always!!!!
I was wondering were your old fateful chair was ,then that one broke.
Prawns are THE go to bait for most fishing in Australia. This time of year is when they start moving down the creeks and rivers out to sea so every man and his dog will be out netting. A lot of river mouths end up looking like a car park at around Christmas. Traditonal Christmas Day fare in Queensland includes a leg ham, a roast of some sort - usually pork, a few kilos of prawns and a pavlova.
Fabulous video Graeme 👌 🎣. I meanly use prawns for steelhead & pink salmon, over here in B.C 🇨🇦. Well you know the score 😉 . I live a 7 minutes drive from the Frazer River & Stave river , & 10 minutes hike to Haywood lake 😀. I definitely take advantage, of every opportunity to fish 😀😃
Fished the gravel bars of the Fraser a few times for Springs and Chum...fantastic place..I think we have a film up in our vintage playlist where I filmed one of our guys with a 45lb Salmon...and another film on trout ...was it up on Vedder lake ??...If I lived there I would be out as well,even for the scenery and photographic opportunities...Stay safe over there.
Brilliant video graeme 👍
Fantastic Rudd!
Great intro music! A man after my own tastes...prawns included! Where can I buy one of those self collapsing chairs?
What happened to re-using washing-up bottle tops for bobbins?
What an intro 😂 I'm from New Zealand and I've just got home from fishing the harbour and have come home with 4 australasian snapper over 40cm ❤️
Lucky you bro, I'm in Coffs Harbour Australia and last night I got a small dart, lol. Too windy today. Off to the pub for tea, then I might go down the beach and wet a line. Cheers NZ
What harbor?
@@Andrew-rv9qr Auckland harbour near the harbour bridge 😊
@Eye of the Tiger the snapper are one of our main species we can catch em year round and you can keep 10 per day and they put up a mean scrap too 😁
Just watched your fishing on an island video and as it was finishing the notification for this flagged up.. to add more excitement my “ totally awesome fishing mug arrived today. Xmas has come early for this old boy thnx👍
Friday night sorted.....Thanks Graeme!!!
Thanks can not wait for another vid Graeme
Came over from TA Outdoors Saxon house part 9
welcome...more builds to come on "Outdoors" channel
Fantastic content as usual Graeme, i will be heading out next week for perch on my club lakes, prawns are a killer bait there too and hoping for some of the 3lb+ perch that reside there
Good job on fishing
Enjoyed that....
Great Video🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Great bait prawns 👍
that chair, is it a total fishing, mr hays one, mine does it all the time, new one coming crimbo, good blog graeme.
that roach was a beauty!
A nice variety of fish there
I enjoyed the afternoon as it was a good bit of mixed fishing..different species etc.
Nice vid. Enjoyed it 😄
Fab session. I'm a big fan of prawns for perch. You're bothered less by small ones. What's the intro music...? I can't see it in the credits.
I'll have to look it up..Got a film up next week I think it might be in there as well.
Some monster roach and rudd!
Used to love fishing Royal Berkshire when I worked/lived down in Slough.
Do I recall they have quite strict rules on bait?
The only place where I've ever caught 30 or so carp in one session. Attended one of their night sessions. The rain was torrential, fork lightening in the distance, aerator on, was pulling them out on the drop for an hour solid.
Check all fisheries websites for rules, the bailiff told me prawns were great for the Perch there, seems all the other species loved them as well.
All those fish seemed light coloured Graeme. We used to get perch almost silver on a clay pit. I wonder if it's to do with the cloudy water or what they feed on? Those roach didn't seem as red of fin and eye as usual.
I love your vids and you fishing info you are the best in the world to me I court my first pike today 29 pound thanks so much
if my first pike i caught was 29lb id give up pike fishing and target another species
Nice Pike, but you now have to appreciate the average 4/8 pounders...29's are pretty thin on the ground so well done with the catch.
Great video Graeme, well done again. Only criticism is no cook up, get some bacon on mate!👍
diem cau ca dep qua ban oi , nhin thoi da thay khoai roi
Have you ever got trout on prawns? They seem to have a similar diet to perch so thinking it may be worth a try.
loving your videos !!!!! been a sub for a while !!!!
You are a legand love your vids
Don't hear music like that any more. Great show too.
Nice video I'm Waseem from Pakistan
Pleased to see that I'm not the only one who can get tangled around their own neck 😊
I watch this chaps films he reminds me of Jack Hargreaves (Out Of Town) from the 70s when I was a kid and got into fishing
great fishing as always...that fish at the end was sure battered. maybe he could be rehomed to live out the rest of his days - a carp retirement home
Prawns are super bait. Catch anything on them. You did well considering you had Dom Jolly in the swim next to you.🦞
Yep there was a guy who was just non-stop, I had to edit some sections out I just couldn't use the clips... Imagine having him in the car with you on a trip to Cornwall...I think I'd keep going straight off Land's End !!!
What's up with the sound? Can hardly hear a fish biting 😬
Small camera only records in mono when I did that film..got a few films left like that.
@@TAFishing my mistake I was laying in bed with one earphone in whilst trying to listen to the better half bleeting on about Christmas 😁 the left ear wasn't working very well. BTW I've only just found the channel and it encouraged me to dust the rod off last week after a 5 Yr break from fishing. Also loving your back catalogue of lockdown videos. Keep up the good work 👍
Great video Graeme but will you "borrow" one of Mikes mic's as only getting mono at moment.
I thought my tinnitus was back
Slowly working my way through your awesome videos. Quick question, how do you support your brolly, is it just attached to your chair?
I support my brolly by regular monthly payments paid direct into its account by Bacs...it seems happy enough, and even opens up on rainy days,unlike half the shops...On a serious note I can't always spike the brolly pole into the ground,via a gap in the chair arm,but soon as I stand up a gust of wind takes the lot over...its still something I am working on.
Maybe those tinned shrimp would make good loose feed??
Worth a try
Great video, Graeme, and a pleasant location. I notice you don’t favour baitrunner reels - any reason you’re not a fan? Cheers :)
Forr the majority of fishing I do I don't need the baitrunner. Only use it when I am bolt rigging for Carp. For other species a regular reel does the job.
Mr. Graeme, forgive my ignorance as I'm from the Southern U.S. but do y'all have Catfish over there? If so, do you ever fish for them? Good eating, if you can get them. Love the channel and TA Outdoors, as well.
Yes,we have the Wels Catfish,but they are all stocked from abroad .We don't eat them,they are just stocked as a Sportfish ,it would be all release fishing. It remains to be seen what damage they might do to our native species in say,50 years . Very hard fighters ,they have been caught to over 100lbs here , but in Europe they get much larger,over 300lbs.
What a dream session Will the cooked prawn work in the sea?
It does for species like Black Bream etc.
I sometimes use prawns if I'm fishing matches on lakes that hold a big head of chub or for barbel/chub/perch on the Trent.
thanks mate
Tiny issue with the audio on this one, Graeme. It's only coming through the right channel during your headcam segments. Not really a bother through speakers, but when listening through headphones it's a bit grating on the right ear.
Aren’t they delicious I just ate some strait out of the frying pan just a few minutes ago now I can watch you catch some more doesn’t get any better
You mean Rudd and Roach ??? Oh sorry..I guess you mean the Prawns..Yes,the Giant size Prawns fry up pretty well I find. Good with some rice,and sweet chilli sauce.
@@TAFishing nope perch
Interesting film using prawns. Just wondering if you ever use raw prawns rather than cooked one's?
I use the uncooked Prawns for Boat and Shore fishing..The large Atlantic unpeeled variety.
Graeme, is a cage feeder with groundbait a good tactic for carp in the cold months? Is there ever a time you wouldn't use groundbait?
I see no problem with it,but maybe just the feeder,no loose balls of groundbait.
Hi Graeme. Where do you buy your frozen prawns from because every company I buy them from are odourless and tastless!
Just get them from the various frozen or chilled sections in supermarkets. Seems the fish can smell them even if we cant.
Can you do a vidoe on dead bait for pike and see if different types of fish work better
One of your ‘roach’ was a hybrid methinks.
Great Rudd and roach but man those carp look beat up
TA OUTDOORS sent us
Welcome aboard.
Not watched this Graeme, as freshwater fishing & puddle dipping doesn't interest me. BUT, I've been thinking about the merits of Prawn, frozen, whole, cooked etc. as a shore bait for quite a while. How about trying it??
it haunts my mind too about frozen prawn and shrimp at the shore, its bound to work for wrasse pollock coalies etc but i wonder would it work for sea-trout ???
Frozen prawns are the biggest selling bait in Australia for saltwater fishing.
Do you mind me asking what fishery that is in the South ? Is it a day ticket fishery ? Looks like you had some great sport.
All in the film.If you skip through it you missed where it is etc.
You are just like me when I fish. I will cast until the very end.
You never know when a last minute cast might save the day...I've had a few hundred thousand of those over the years.
@@TAFishing
Yup. It's so hard to leave when you're still getting bites.
Have you ever used the pickled cockles that come in a jar?
Don't believe I ever used pickled Cockles but have caught on plain fresh cockles...mostly Carp and Bream...I need to scissor them down to try small sections though.
lure is real shrimp? Nice fishing gear
What's the song at the very beginning about High Strung and who sang this version?
Boy was catching rainbows on them at our local fishery
Is there any danger of introducing strange bugs into the system from frozen bait from overseas?
I guess not as its for human consumption..purchased from supermarkets....Hopefully nothing survives long term freezing as much of the world is eating frozen food shipped all round the globe...good theory time for Mike's TA Outdoors I reckon we might use that...
White Spot survives freezing. As a result it's prohibted to use supermarket prawns for bait outside an exclusion zone here in South East Queensland. It's believed to have come from overseas farmed prawns and contaminated feed at local farms.
How do they get waders that fit?
