My 7 year old daughters first fishing trip was the pier. I set her up with a sliding float and small hook with rag for wrasse etc. First fish was a 3lb Bass!
Great video as always Graham it's so good to be out in the open and doing some good old fishing i even took my six year old granson and over the moon to catch his first ever tench at the local pond and first ever flat fish as well so proud of him and now he watches your video's thanks Graham keep safe to you and your great family
never sea fished before, but I always love watching your sea fishing videos... with my poor mobility the rocks wouldn't be an opinion, but that second location on the stone pier would be perfect place to go oneday and have some fun for wrasse!
In fact, that's a great idea for series, use live baits to taget the bigget fish (Because they it does work) I caught my biggest bass off a live sand eel and biggest smooth hound off a live crab... numbers don't lie
'A nut on the line, and a nut casting it out'🤣 Sums us all up really..... Sometimes the smaller species are a lot more fun, because of the quantity! 1st time I ever used a LRF rod was in the IOM, great sport, just dropping it over the edge like you, to see how many species I could catch!
I am waiting for the weather to settle down ,plus I have loads of property jobs I am trying to clear,from what I hear I am not missing much at present.
great video as usual - been a while since I fished but back in the day we always put rag on the hook tail first - less likely to break so gave longer to strike (not my idea - stolen from Jack Hargreaves)
Once again GP, thanks for posting and making my evening palatable duris this present crisis....however, I would be interested to know what road in Dorset that you can reach a speed of 60 mph on.
I work at a tire shop so i get lots of free weights from 7g- 100g its pretty nice. another nice thing I'm friends with a scrapper and he gives me free lead.
Last november, I was fishing from the brighton pier with my mate, had fresh lug, rag and squid, and also had a frozen rag from last trip, had no bites for a few hours and then, my mate said , lets try that frozen rag and quess what he started catching one whiting after another , between us we probablyhad 50+ whitings and a few plaice all on frozen ragworm
I went fishing on Monday for the first time in 10 years after binge watching a bunch of your videos Graeme and now after this one I can't wait to drag my dad back out with me, thank you
An 18g float with some squid and you won't be able to stop pulling out gobys,wrasse, conger eels and Whiting, even small bass! Its great fun, and if you're feeling adventurous you can bait up a spinner and go for mullet.
Graeme mate you are a treasure, videos full of knowledge, tips and tricks and also bring such happiness to everyone every video, never a dull moment, recently started fishing again after 7 years and fair to say I’m addicted haha
I use mixed maggots and slider float with a size 12 hook, bulk the shot 2ft away from the hook and let the trace run across the bedrock or sand, Sweet corn is another great small fish bait due to it's bright colour; green tined sweet peas are awesome to...Enjoyed this vid..
Hi Graeme, Hit it on the head here. I have been doing some LRF lately to test the waters as to what's out there. For me, until i get immersed in the shore fishing again i am going to continue with this. A couple of tips for the other Subscribers, (NGT Dynamic Fishing Trolley), fantastic piece of kit. So easy to load and takes all your gear. (One Pound Fishing Tackle, online). Absolute bargains with brand names like Savage Gear etc My Best As Always, Steve in Fife.
speaking of disposable weights..an acquaintance of mine used to use old spark plugs...the kind with the screw on top.. this he used to attach the spark plug to the line..then he rigged them on a pendulum made of lighter line so if it got snagged the attaching line would break saving his main tackle
I use the tubular style Bouncing Bettys when I ledger for wrasse. Because they’re long, straight, and semi buoyant, they don’t tend to get snagged in crevices in the sea bed.
you needd a backpack. pout your stuff in be safer maybe even too a stick stabilise saves you slipping i use a stick its saved me after a 4 month injury slipping in bad boots that turned out to be lethal on wet rocks
After a while of dabbling in sea fishing your channel had got me going whenever I can great channel Graeme I've learnt so much from you and everyone else you have on from time to time
Thanks, Graeme. Nice simple fishing and like you said a fish is a fish. It's all very well catching monsters but if you start off catching a couple of hundred of these smaller fish, for youngsters and new fishermen, its invaluable experience.
Better to start small and work up to the bigger fish. Then you have appreciation of general fish sizes. If you just go straight out and catch a 25lb Carp it sort of spoils it for later trips when you only get the smaller fish. A big one every once in a while is nice.
Any reason why I'm only catching dace ? When river fishing is it to do with the depth ? I've had 2 perch but mainly dace and a couple chub 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ I'm new to fishing
Great video Graeme what an interesting coastal rock formation in the first part of the video, nice large fossil in the rock. Second part on the Pier interesting for the amount of different species on light fishing tackle. With all the stupidity going on in this country it was so nice to get away from it all with 50 minutes of relaxation. Thanks for posting.
Great video. I'm a content creator myself albeit in a completely different part of TH-cam but I love your videos! I've recently started getting into fishing myself and the tips/videos you guys produce help me massively!! Much love.
I fished for wrasse in Cornwall many years ago off the rocks using crab on float gear. caught them up to 1lb, but bigger ones were literally bending the hook out. Interestingly if i used rock limpets I never got a bite, but crab was amazing!
I've just been to south Devon on holiday and ended up going to Exmouth Marina every day with my mate fishing for mini species. It was great fun, I caught my first Pollack and my mate caught his first Wrasse. I think it cost us £5 for the Rag worm and we still had some left at the end of the holiday. Brilliant fun, all thanks to you Graeme.
Size doesn't always matter,especially if its just bites you are after and any species.Small hooks,light tackle and small bits or Rag or lugworm...usually the way to get action.
@@TAFishing I'll be trying those tactics at Aberystwyth soon But first I'm going to Carlton Towers Yorkshire tench fishing and the following weekend Portsmouth for crucian. Looking forward to my fishing and catching my first Wrasse. Thanks Graeme.
I know this may be a bit of a left field ask, but do you remember a video of shark fishing that you posted where you couldn’t decide whether to bring the shark on board your boat “don’t do it Graham, be naughty Graham, do it, no don’t do it Graham” etc? If you remember the clip I’m on about, is there anyway you could possibly send it to me? Found it endlessly funny. More so than usual, because it really chimed with me! Want to reshare if possible. I’m not of the fisherfolk tribe, but love your channel. Peace out.
There are a few shark films up,but I don't know which one. It would be a Blue shark,and a solo expedition on my own I think. Might help you track it down.
TA Fishing Yes, you were alone on Hi Seas Drifter and the shark was a bit too big to bring onto the boat, but in the end you went ahead and did it anyway! I found the whole scenario really funny. Shall keep ‘trawling’ through! I just hoped you might have a memory jog, I always knew it was a bit of a long shot considering your prodigious output. Thank you for getting back to me, best wishes to you and yours, peace out.
great video as per, we keep rags in the freezer we salt them first on newspaper then roll em up and bang them in the freezer, there not a touch on a fresh dug rag but they deffo work the salt keeps them a tad better
Great audio with the wind blowing that hard. Since living near the Texas Coast, I got hooked and prefer saltwater fishing. I really enjoy your saltwater fishing episodes, especially the shore and pier ones.
Graeme - good stuff. When you said "Two light rods and a backpack, and just go", I thought great, a neat LRF session with Graeme. Then I see all the stuff piled up behind the stone bench: 4 or 5 bags, ground bait bag, rod rests, landing net (telescopic) multiple rods. I had a good chuckle. I see myself, and I have no camera gear.
Hi Graham, that Japanese bait you are using is usually made with very small shrimp, about the size of a finger nail. The locals here usually use it in a feeder above a line of sabiki hooks for yellow tail, mackerel, horse mackerel and sardines. Usually fished from deep water ports using a big float and small rubber sliding stopper. Been a massive TA fan for years! Thanks for all the entertainment from the Northern Japan!
Graham, nice video, I've really enjoyed you stuff during the lockdown. You pier fishing reminded me of fishing in Dunbar harbor, East Lothian, as a kid and casting Ching toddlers and having fun!
I really enjoy your videos even though I normally fish the Great Lakes, in Michigan, USA. If you ever come to the states for a visit, contact me and I would love to fish with you guys
raining ...its looks like a wet June so maybe July - we are heading to the Similkameen river downstream of Princeton B.C. If there are too many people or no fish we will head north into the back country. Mahood Lake or possibly head west into the Chilcotin country. up in the air at the moment.
Hi Graeme great video as always , i'm playing it on a 42 inch tv in my den and i would just like to say thank you, the picture quality of your vids are excellent mate
Hi Graeme I fish the stone pier a lot and there's tons of wrasse around for "tiddlin" in the weeds. I used to take the kids down with me and they loved it when they were little. Mackerel works well too and theres some pollock around too. Love your videos so keep them up Graeme
hi Graeme have you ever tried to salt down your unused worm bait I have seen a couple Geordie guys doing it on a video their channel is Rod and Pollocks some entertaining videos on there Tight lines
Guys if you keep your eyes open on the way down you can see a shell stuck in a tree. Fished there since I was a tacker. If you want to know where to go and what to catch right there just send me a message. Cheers Mike
Hi mate we used to thread the wormes on to a hook all ready on a line rolled up and put in to a money bag popped in to a freezer it worked a treat u just unroll your line put it on to a snap swivel and cast great vids
The best way to carry things like those reeds is to put them in an old continental quilt cover. You can get them all in and no mess whatsoever in the car.
Anyone out fishing this weekend??
TA Fishing i should be going ground fishing soon!
16th on tuesday so its down to my local park water , the holes in the ground are just so busy at the moment, doing my head in there getting hammerd
Fishing for cod this weekend
Out for wrasse and flatties in Fife tomorrow
Night fishing in Bridlington tonight
My 7 year old daughters first fishing trip was the pier. I set her up with a sliding float and small hook with rag for wrasse etc. First fish was a 3lb Bass!
Also we fish the stone pier alot with mixed results, sometimes a few mackerel and small wrasse, it's a nice spot to relax,
Fishing light is most anglers guilty pleasure and Dorset is a beautiful part of this green and pleasant land.
Great video as always Graham it's so good to be out in the open and doing some good old fishing i even took my six year old granson and over the moon to catch his first ever tench at the local pond and first ever flat fish as well so proud of him and now he watches your video's thanks Graham keep safe to you and your great family
That manky old frozen rag worm was pretty deadly plus those 14mm or was it 15 mm nuts were totally awsome aswell...keep sharing Graeme.
Used spark plugs were what I used for weights as a kid :)
They all do that in South Africa👌🏻
never sea fished before, but I always love watching your sea fishing videos... with my poor mobility the rocks wouldn't be an opinion, but that second location on the stone pier would be perfect place to go oneday and have some fun for wrasse!
Thanks mate! Absolutely loved this video 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I had the same pier fun at Sandown, IoW, plus floating for mackerel with sandeel.
Those little pouting would be great live bait fishing on your boat
Ideal for Bass fishing .
@@TAFishing yeah no doubt, even off shore they'll be perfect in close
In fact, that's a great idea for series, use live baits to taget the bigget fish
(Because they it does work) I caught my biggest bass off a live sand eel and biggest smooth hound off a live crab... numbers don't lie
Well done,brilliant watch 🇬🇧👍
Just finished your book - “big game fishing” and I whole heartedly recommend it to anyone else! Amazing read!! Love as always, a huge fan
Out at 6 this morning, 4 nice bream from our local lakes
Lovely sport graham.
Norfolk reed. I use this to make floats. Guessing Mike is going to do some thatching.
Hi Graeme it’s been the same here in Guernsey Channel Islands windy constantly.
'A nut on the line, and a nut casting it out'🤣 Sums us all up really.....
Sometimes the smaller species are a lot more fun, because of the quantity! 1st time I ever used a LRF rod was in the IOM, great sport, just dropping it over the edge like you, to see how many species I could catch!
You have a strange effect on my wife Graeme, as soon as I put one of your videos on she swears and leaves the room, bliss, keep it up.
That made me chuckle...
Thanks.
Another awesome, welcome video.
Were the potatoes you planted in the pots/containers not so long ago successful, Graeme?
Yes,everything growing fine...will feature in an upcoming film as an update.
Really good video thanks im out carp and pike fishing tomorrow will you be doing any of that anytime soon
I am waiting for the weather to settle down ,plus I have loads of property jobs I am trying to clear,from what I hear I am not missing much at present.
I was wondering why he has the umbrella with him...probably to use it as a parachute to get off the cliff better....
Can anyone help me out im going down to sidmouth beach and was thinking of taking a lure rod would that be any good down there for wrasse
etc
great video as usual - been a while since I fished but back in the day we always put rag on the hook tail first - less likely to break so gave longer to strike (not my idea - stolen from Jack Hargreaves)
Once again GP, thanks for posting and making my evening palatable duris this present crisis....however, I would be interested to know what road in Dorset that you can reach a speed of 60 mph on.
Loads
I work at a tire shop so i get lots of free weights from 7g- 100g its pretty nice. another nice thing I'm friends with a scrapper and he gives me free lead.
I think the term is "Double-Sweet"....
I'm litterly bak from the beach caught nice big bass only caught one but we'll worth it
One is better than none.
@@TAFishing it surly is man
Where is this?
have go at fishing on norfolk Cley beach , see my short drone video on the beach , harder fishing but a challenge
My boy catches loads of crabs off the pier people call the dog crabs there really aggressively can i use these for baits ?
We use hardback or common green shore crabs for Smoothhound bait, I'm just editing a film on it. About 2 inches across the shell.
Last november, I was fishing from the brighton pier with my mate, had fresh lug, rag and squid, and also had a frozen rag from last trip, had no bites for a few hours and then, my mate said , lets try that frozen rag and quess what he started catching one whiting after another , between us we probablyhad 50+ whitings and a few plaice all on frozen ragworm
Must have been a brilliant session this, especially when you consider fishing from Brighton pier was banned in 1984......
i swear this is where the young offenders film was shot
3rd!
Like minded Lmao
My kind of fishing. Lose weights put a stone on it.
I went fishing on Monday for the first time in 10 years after binge watching a bunch of your videos Graeme and now after this one I can't wait to drag my dad back out with me, thank you
Ryan Jacklin HA no way, I’m looking at doing the same but after 20 years
What miserable arseholes r putting thumbs down? Don't watch it then do one... Ejits... Graeme u r ace & I luv ur vids x
Louie Grafton chill out pal
@@smigles9173 I think it may be the use of Lead, not good for the eco system.
Kim bo yea but if you tie a weight onto your line and loose it your doing the exact same thing
Worbarrow Bay been fishing there 42 years. Had too drag a 40 pound conger up that path many years ago
An 18g float with some squid and you won't be able to stop pulling out gobys,wrasse, conger eels and Whiting, even small bass! Its great fun, and if you're feeling adventurous you can bait up a spinner and go for mullet.
Graeme mate you are a treasure, videos full of knowledge, tips and tricks and also bring such happiness to everyone every video, never a dull moment, recently started fishing again after 7 years and fair to say I’m addicted haha
I live up the road from the stone pier Graham, getting better after some bad health and I recon I should give it a go again. Briliant show, Thank you
Father and son fishing videos are my favourite
I’m actually only after coming home from hospice my dad very sick u cheered me right up keep fishing my friend
Thoughts are with you and your Dad
Thanks my friend your a true legend keep that rod bent 💯
All the best Eric
Graeme should release "I've never fished here before" merch 🤣🤣 Love the videos

The Japanese bait says, "Sabiki-kun." It's some saltwater bait popular in Japan. No idea who Sabiki is, but it's named after him by the looks of it.
You should organise a competition for a winner to join you on a fishing trip. I am happy to do the testing!
I use the tubular style Bouncing Bettys when I ledger for wrasse. Because they’re long, straight, and semi buoyant, they don’t tend to get snagged in crevices in the sea bed.
you needd a backpack. pout your stuff in be safer maybe even too a stick stabilise saves you slipping i use a stick its saved me after a 4 month injury slipping in bad boots that turned out to be lethal on wet rocks
Ohhh yes, feet up, beer in hand ready for this one
alot of those wrasse were corkwings not ballans
Yep. Including the first 2
Had a great session on the Stone pier with 0.4-5g Lerfing rod, 4lb line and Isome worms. Those Corkwings and Tompots fight like buggers on that gear.
Where is the stone pier I have recently got back into saltwater fishing and was wondering where to go
After a while of dabbling in sea fishing your channel had got me going whenever I can great channel Graeme I've learnt so much from you and everyone else you have on from time to time
This is my working weekend, but will put in a couple of hours at Minehead, as the tide will be too low for decent fishing at Blue Anchor.
Thanks, Graeme. Nice simple fishing and like you said a fish is a fish. It's all very well catching monsters but if you start off catching a couple of hundred of these smaller fish, for youngsters and new fishermen, its invaluable experience.

@@TAFishing Spot on Graeme, completely agree.
Heck yeah!! Love the videos, thanks for all you do for our viewing pleasure.
I went fishing padstow harbour recently and caught 2 grey mullet

If end up buying a boat and parting with my wife it will be your fault mate !
Any reason why I'm only catching dace ? When river fishing is it to do with the depth ? I've had 2 perch but mainly dace and a couple chub 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ I'm new to fishing

I love the fact you never really know what you will get next in the sea, a good cheap weight i used to use was old spark plugs, cleaned up first!!!
Instead of the frozen rag i salt mine they are smelly and tough and will catch everything swimming excellent video as always Mr P
The best way to carry things like those reeds is to put them in an old continental quilt cover. You can get them all in and no mess whatsoever in the car.
Great stuff. I used to sea cliff climb in my younger days and always called the local Coastguard for a low water/high water tide timings.
Fishing the river tyne in newcastle.
Wrasse I don't like! Some do!
I've lashed old frozen rag worm onto my big squid and Mac baits for years. Don't waste anything me
I found it so funny watching you go back to base for bait after the first take. Done that so many times myself. Haha.
Good upload Graeme! Great mix of species from the Pier - like you said, plenty of fun! Stay safe & well.
