A Crazy Beach Fishing Session! (I need more Worms!)

[@adecrowshaw7235]

Always fabulous. Thank you, Graeme! Merry Christmas to you Mrs P, Mike and all the family.

[@TAFishing]

Appreciate it and same in return.

[@oxyfee6486]

What a treat, a cold snowy day here in Ontario Canada spent fishing with Graeme. What I wouldn’t give to be there my friend. It’s a little chilly for the kayak our way.👍🇨🇦

[@TAFishing]

I was thinking of driving down the coast tonight for a few hours tonight,but cold rain and a driving rain finally made me see sense and I decided to sty at home in front of the logburner...I must be getting old I reckon...

Naa ​@@TAFishing never Mr p 🎄🍻🥰 all the best 👌💯

[@DeanMosley-gr4zf]

Lovely looking worms,I've heard though from local Harbour Master near Swanick that team of commercials have been digging in a Sea bird sensitive and non digging area and so far their investigative work has led them to so said Angling shop......beware,huge fines,not that yould've have known that.just a heads up

[@finesseddad3969]

Mr G back on the beach 🎉 Merry Christmas to all

[@freddyoutdoors]

Really enjoyed watching real good mix of interesting stuff

[@saturn16]

Thanks for that Graeme. I especially like the Grant tackle talks, great stuff!👍

[@lancerbiker5263]

Love it all Graaene ! Always appreciate your efforts. Many thanks. All the best to you and yours. Cheers. 🥃

[@oxyfee6486]

I really enjoyed this Graeme, especially your talk with the musket gentleman. You asked every question that I would have asked. What a great gentleman to talk to.👍I had to edit this, the young woman was just as delightful, she really seems to love her job, thanks for the history lesson my friend.

[@TAFishing]

No problem,its down to getting the interesting feedback from the people I film...lots of interesting stuff in there...

[@mickhardstaff6605]

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Graeme.

[@TAFishing]

And the same in return....hopefully a decent New Year and of course some decent weather...

[@kevinbuckler1085]

Great trip for you Graeme, and the guy certainly knows his stuff with the guns, very interesting 🎣🐟🎅🏻

[@TAFishing]

I thought he was a good talker ....more to come like that...I enjoy digging around and finding the unusual stories that nobody else has found..

[@jonathanluce9130]

Awesome 😂 can't beat a bit of distraction when threading your worms!

[@TAFishing]

Its a wonder I didn't bind my fingers to the bait as well !

[@wildrose7546]

Great fishing and random video. The medieval medicine was very interesting , and thanks for the recommendation on the wildlife program on BBC. I'll definitely check it out. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@TAFishing]

I'm not techno minded but if you track down the wildlife film I feel its deffo worth a view. It must have taken an age to film and edit.

[@andrewmccarthy4859]

Watched a few of your videos now. You're a skillful fisherman and very entertaining. I'm now subscribed. Thanks a lot 🦈

[@stevied8855]

Hi Graeme, Bit of a long message here. I don't know how i missed this one from yesterday. I bought a new Laptop recently so maybe that's why. Firstly thanks from i'm sure all of us for an amazing year of your videos. So varied, so interesting and always fun. Always watch your older stuff Graeme when i'm a bit peed off with things. Says a lot Graeme as the only other person i watch during those times is Billy Connolly. All the best to you and your family for Christmas. Your channel is the best Fishing Channel on the Planet. Steve in Fife.

[@TAFishing]

Hi Steve, Have a great Christmas & New Year...always pleased when the films provide a distraction to the trials and tribulations of life today... I'm just editing another now,but have to stop or I get so engrossed I edit a complete film and will have nothing to do tomorrow night..!!

[@alamosabill201]

Thanks for the video, you’re a better man than I am Gungadin beach fishing in this weather. 👍 very interesting stuff with the matchlock rifle, I’ve just got a 130 year old Winchester 1886 in 40-82 obsolete caliber.😊 merry Christmas Graeme. 😊😂

[@TAFishing]

And Happy Christmas in return. i have lots more military history stuff to come.Probably start running it through the winter months.

[@sheldonlunn7050]

Down in deepest, darkest Kent, we've been blanching our black lug (otherwise known as Dungey ((Dungeness)) lug) for decades.Certainly since before I first used the method in around 1984. Your guess was correct : gut the worms directly you dig them, then, when you get home, a few seconds in boiling water, before drying with a tea towel, wrapping individually in a roll of newspaper, then freezing. Having a younger brother distract mum while you put the worms in the freezer is a vital element too!...

[@chrissmith5828]

Great episode! Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄 🎣

Same in return.

Happy Humbug everyone.🍺 Here's to the longer warmer days next to the water. ☀️🐟

I'll second that. At least today is the longest night so it starts to get a bit lighter each day.

great year again watching your exploits happy christmas and have a good new year

Nice one Mr P.

[@arrowfishing5855]

Great video mate, well done👍

[@johnwilliams4584]

Thanks again Graeme, another fabulous mixed bag. Did you see the second Wild programme last night? It was the seasons in the the Lake District to the same high quality of filming. Seasons greetings from John in South Devon

[@TAFishing]

Missed that one but should find it on some sort of catchup....I thought the French one was particularly good and that narrator's voice quite relaxing.

[@allenbrown8158]

Merry Christmas Graeme, I love that boom rig, can you show us how you tie it, thanks for the videos

[@andylitchfield]

Graham. Look up slidebait rig. I’m thinking sliding a live Whiting out on one of your rods could be an interesting experiment.

[@TAFishing]

With all the Whiting there really should be some bigger Bass or other species about.

[@ciarandunne2741]

You should use some of those small Whiting cut into small strip for bait, I find them quite good especially for more Whiting and dab

[@TAFishing]

I was told some anglers are cutting them in half and getting decent Bass on a half section of Whiting head and guts cast about 30 yards out. I tried the other night and got nothing...!!

[@ciarandunne2741]

@TAFishing keep trying ...Whiting are so prevalent these days they're like the new mackerel 😁

[@carldawson832]

Hi graham you ok pal, nice one on your session. Shame about the old anchor lamp letting you down. Perfect on the shepherd's hook. Nice cook up n fire you can't beat it . Ive been out 3 times this week on the Humber. Ive had 2 haddock, loads of dabs and big chunky whiting so not to bad. I wish you a very merry xmas n the wife from GRIMSBY.

[@TAFishing]

Seasons greetings to you as well and more fish to find your baits ...

[@jamrs5201]

Love the TA shows. Always a great watch and I've learned alot off of you guys over the years. Small question hopefully someone will answer seeing as its uk cod season. There used to be a uk cod fishing documentary by a guy some if you may know. I think he started in Kent, done the Bristol channel on land and on the boat and he also done some Welsh rock marks. It seems to have been taken down. The guy had longish white hair and a dark moustache and there was a guy called Neil that kept catching congers so they called him Neil the eel. Anyone know where I could watch that? That was also a good watch. Filmed possibly late 90s early 2000s. Cheers.

[@TAFishing]

Don't know that one I have to say ,but someone out there might recall it.

[@jamrs5201]

@TAFishing I hope so. Thanks for your reply. Tight lines guys.

[@johnwilliams4584]

Bernard Cribbins did a very good voice over on the Lake District film. It was on the same channel as the French village video on the following day. Cheers, John from very wet and windy south Devon...Will the storms ever end?

[@TAFishing]

I was hoping to go down the coast for another beach session tonight but had to sack it....just hoping the fence panels stay up. I think Christmas Day is the lowest wind...! No chance of getting out on that one...

[@stevebell8552]

Merry Xmas to you and yours Graeme 🎅🥃

[@TAFishing]

Same in return.

[@AboveAverageAngler]

Where ya get the little tubes for ya rig Graeme? good vid as usual.

[@martinkavanagh196]

Good One Graeme .. Nice feed on the beach .. boiled canned lugworm in tomato sauce. You know that very dense British population? - If you freed-up the rules and issued all the blokes with muskets etc. - You could gradually thin out the numbers eh.

[@johnweekes8497]

Good show but when is the show going out were you cought fire 🔥 to the cooking pan could do with a laugh ❤

[@mickhardstaff6605]

Another very enjoyable video Graeme . The lady in blue doing the sowing , judging by her hands I would assume that she would have been in her 90s , would that be correct as we didn't see her face .

[@TAFishing]

I'm glad you said that and not me...!!! I fear I won't be asking her....

[@brianrothery9743]

I seen your last video with the anchor light and loved it so I got two off them on fb for 25 pounds and wot a great light they are still need to get the hang off starting it tho lol 😂 any tips Brian

[@TAFishing]

Getting them running is a sort of dark art ...every time its different.

[@zanzarrahaas4887]

I ve used freese dried lugworm for flatties 24 years ago becouse there was no fresh bait arround. Did pretty good on those .but fresh always better

[@crazyferret9409]

You always fish Hayling! Is that where you live? At least there's a decent chippie across the road.

[@OnStageLighting]

If it takes 1.5 hr to get there, you can bet it's the nearest shore fishing to him. I mostly fish the same marks near to me, albeit a few hundred meters from my house. You'd think I'd be fishing every day, but....

[@TAFishing]

No chippies where I fish,and I only fish that area because I refuse to pay the council parking charges ,which years ago would be free during the winter months. Fished Hayling a fair bit when I was a kid as Grandparents had some property down there,but I live about 50 miles from the sea I'm afraid.

[@OnStageLighting]

Those whiting are monsters compare to the ones I've been catching this winter....

[@tangledtackleuk]

Them Whiting are perfect size for pike

[@notlaw2004]

Merry Christmas

[@TAFishing]

And to you and yours as well.

[@DarrenAndOzzy]

Hi Graeme, I am starting to look at moving away from cheap gear and buying a long term reel. Do you have any recommendations for a fixed spool long distance casting reel for beach fishing within the mid class range? I am rather keen on Penn, but do you have any better suggestions? I fish Chesil beach often and will hopefully be fighting big conger and cod, whats my best option? Many thanks :)

[@TAFishing]

I don't I'm afraid. I have no idea what are the latest makes and models as I still use the same old stuff as it seems to work. Maybe your local tackle shop might have some ideas,or even a local sea fishing club. They might have members with surplus secondhand gear.

[@DarrenAndOzzy]

@@TAFishing No worries, just thought I'd ask the best mind in the game but if tackle lasts, why change it. Unfortunately all my cheap gear died so I want a decent reel that will last. I'll check with Macky down Weymouth Angling Centre and see whats best. Cheers, and tight lines! ;)

[@ScottH75]

I once brought 100 blanched black lugworm and I can honestly say I only caught 1 fish on them. I fished them like you on one rod comparing results and it was a no contest. Fresh worms or frozen baits caught and the blanched like I said 1 fish and I used them over a number of sessions. I Will never buy them again. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@TAFishing]

Thanks for commenting,I did wonder if my experience was a one off .

[@deanmc178]

im on it , first like

[@onesky8647]

Can we ask you to turn the worm paper around next time, it's very difficult to read upside down.😂(07:25)

[@cedhome7945]

One other sea fishing gentleman hits every bite as soon as they show, so he catches lots of what's out there. I've never seen him "let a bite develop" its a tiny movement then strike!.. I'm kind of in the middle with this. Whitening can be an absolute nuisance at times 👍

[@DarrenAndOzzy]

And apologies if this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but why do certain species only get caught on worms that, in the wild, spend all their lives in burrows underground? They say match the hatch, but how do Cod, Whiting and Bream target worms when they never have shovels on them when you catch them? 🤔

[@TAFishing]

I have always wondered that myself. How come I can catch Perch on prawns as bait in freshwater when they have never seen them before ?...i can see that crabs and small molluscs are on the menu for sea fish,but how many worms do they blunder into ? And Mackerel as bait for say,Thornback Rays. In a natural state they must have literally no chance of catching a live Mackerel.yet its a good bait...Anyone else out there have such brain straining issues as this ??

[@DarrenAndOzzy]

@@TAFishing I guess scent goes a very long way under water.. I guess mankind had to learn by trial and error what mushrooms go well with your dinner, which will make you trip for days and which will send you to the grave... Just funny how certain species target worms more than anything else when the worms never swim about in the sea, they are always underground.. Maybe the cod sit on the bottom and wait for one to pop out of its burrow and plays the fish equivalent of whack-a-mole?

[@chrisprobert6]

The power of the ocean does the digging... Obviously 😂

[@DarrenAndOzzy]

@@chrisprobert6 I get ya, Cod, Whiting and Bream only ever eat when there's a storm...

[@cedhome7945]

Some species of marine worm all leave there burrows to spawn. This has been on a wildlife video. The fish and seabirds go mad at this time

[@andylitchfield]

Can you not drag your son out for a sesh once in a while? I enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting.

He's up to his eyes in T.A.Outdoors merch deliveries for Christmas. Might be a chance of a few hours in the New Year one evening.
