[@mac3536]

Just been given my first rod at the age of 65.Have always fancied fishing off a beach/pier/rocks so thanks for the video.Great teacher

[@BobbyTravis]

You, Sir, have a magnificent teaching style. I could listen to you talk about fishing for hours. Thanks for this wonderful presentation.

[@davidillingworth5135]

great guy lovely simple easy to understand fishing thanks ever so much david its 40+ years since I fished at Whitby .taking grandaughter up Scotland for her first fishing adventure shes 10 and your tips have made me feel happier

[@TAFishing]

Thanks for the positive comment, spread the word on forums etc! There are still lots of anglers that dont know we exist! Especially beginners.

[@TheChrislilley]

Your videos have been a great help to me. I'm new at this, so new infact, I haven't even gone fishing yet. As I will be on my own I have no one to ask your videos are just like having a mate who can help you when you need it.

[@TAFishing]

We're here to help the average angler! Hope you enjoy the videos

[@chilcottjack29]

Christopher Lilley ask local people on social media like Facebook I'm sure their will be some friendly fishermen that will show you the ropes

[@masterblob7196]

Make an account on the world sea angling forums

[@carolinekeightley9921]

Great video. Lots of practical advice. Thanks.

[@zoffinger]

Dirty hands and homemade stuff? That's right up my alley! You just got yourself another subscriber :) Greetings from Tampa, Florida

[@flowersinathens102]

Hi

[@TheSavagederek]

I've been watching your beach fishing videos for a while now Graeme and you have really helped me along , with loads of useful tips .

[@tpsjonny]

this is what its about, simple , informative and doesn't have to be expensive. Thanks guys , truly awesome , thanks for taking the time to film.

[@paulsaunders2927]

Fantastic video for people like me who are new to sea fishing. Very simple and well made video and well put over. Thank you

[@TAFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it, we may not have caught many fish but we wanted to show people that beach fishing can be enjoyable, especially in the summer with warmer weather and longer evenings (not sure about the warmer weather in the UK at the moment though!)

[@Floydsdad101]

I've just purchased a very basic set up to try sea fishing for the first time in my life ! (well any fishing really, I've never cast a rod in my life!) , i've found these videos to be superb, informative and laid back. I can't wait to start !

[@LilBlighter]

Really enjoyed this. Properly back to budget basics and just enough to get you started out. Will be digging my old beachcaster and lamp later to take to Barmouth next week. Mighty even knock up a makeshift tripod. Many thanks.

[@isabelledeal1338]

My boys keep asking me to take them fishing, so I’m watching all the videos I can. Yours are the best!

[@Jason-im3pz]

Its very easy for beginners to be overwhelmed with everything starting off. Keep it simple, few ready made rigs and worms will be more than enough. Good to see someone take their kids out, tight lines!

[@gemelia09]

even though im at a different country, i still found the tips useful. thanks for the freat tips, wonderful camera work, clear commentary and just plain awsome fun.

[@keithmoores1992]

My carp fishing has not been to good this year so i looking to try sea fishing,excellent video, no fancy tackle with results plus great to see the guys putting the small ones back.

[@sirtinley-knot2944]

What a pleasure to watch! My 9 year old has asked me to take him fishing from our caravan in Llandudno... I've only ever done freshwater fishing so these beginner tips were great! thanks guys!

[@TAFishing]

Not for general short/mid range fishing.Only for long casting/softer baits .We clip both up and down,plus have one coming up using paperclips as a standby clip down for beginners . Clip downs are useful when you have a strong headwind.

[@CarpFishing24-7]

Graeme you're the best, totally entertaining keeping the passion alive. I haven't beach fished the east coast for over twenty years but watching your films have rekindled my interest in sea fishing. Due to your enthusiasm I decided to dust down my rods buy some new stuff and fish my first session this week. A few whiting and a solitary dab from Aldeburgh made my trip wothwhile, so I'll definitely will be going again soon. Totally Awesome!

[@TAFishing]

Probably find night fishing is better,even just into the first couple of hours of dark could make a huge difference.

[@CarpFishing24-7]

@@TAFishing I fished through the night Graham and packed up at 5.30am it was hard going but good to be out there having a go, All thanks to you 😁

[@db8erfreak]

Awesome video mate. I love fishing, but I'm always nervous to really learn and ask questions around my much more experienced fisher friends. Thanks

[@TheAlbyzoe]

This was Totally Awesome!!! thank you, I learned a ton. I'm going to try this here in Florida. We call it surf fishing. Thank you again for sharing cant wait to see part 2.

[@TAFishing]

We have fished the Florida Keys a number of times, for Tarpon, sharks, permit, bonefish, sailfish etc, but not much shore fishing!

[@dougiemac8417]

Whoa!!! So many great tips!!! So glad I happened upon your channel. Absolutely priceless!! Thank you so very much.

[@wild4fp]

Am 42yrs now, not been fishing since late twenties. I used to fish of Morecambe bay, park up, put football on the radio and just cast out. It was a chill thing to do. Talk to others, sandwich, flask. Would love to take up again. They have placed rockery on the coast so its unable to cast at where i used to go. There's over spots. so i may take up again. Forgot the basics so this really helped.

[@jace6555]

Love your videos just started sharing them with my son. Passing it down to the next generation. Thank you.

[@benanderson2756]

Really appreciate this video just bought my first sea rod today and didn’t have a clue old videos like this are the best

[@TAFishing]

Thanks very much, keep watching!

[@TAFishing]

The mussels we have are very soft out of the shell.They are a good bait,but you have to bind them on the hook with elasticated thread or they explode everywhere on the cast.They cast better with a clipped down rig.Great for wrasse from the shore,or cod and whiting from a boat.

[@64daddymac]

Superb Gents, very informative for us beginners. Cheers

[@colinmorand129]

Just found your channel and there is years worth of your quality fishing tips and laughs ..just watched your back pack fishing episode and it’s great when you start cooking bacon 🥓

[@Tehleach]

Hadn't been fishing in years until just yesterday, enjoyed it so much decided to treat myself to a new rod and hoping to get into beach fishing on a more regular basis. Great video for a beginner like me, very informative, thanks a lot :)

[@TAFishing]

Yes, there's something about the unexpected when shore fishing. And its great to get out in the open air anyway. Good luck with it, and try some night fishing. Often better in shallower waters.

[@davidharvey5672]

Thanks for this video. I just started fishing again and can't get enough of these beginners videos. I've been out practising along the beach here in Norfolk. So far no fish supper but it's August so just feeding the crabs. It won't be long now till we see all the twinkling lights along the beach and hopefully a few suppers being caught. I used to fish with my grandfather's rod and reel at Gorleston, it was a rigid rod and a wooden reel the line was so stiff in winter it helped prevent bird nests and I needed an 8oz lead to get it out there. We always caught something with whatever bait we could find whether it was earth worms or bacon fat or left over lug from other fishermen. You needed a strong thumb to cast and got a callous from stopping the reel. No fancy tackle, but the fish were there. Happy days!

[@TAFishing]

Happy days indeed! We hope you catch something soon, glad you like the video and thanks for commenting David!

[@jerryalexander4966]

i like this video so much and yes, also you guys.. i like it when you guys are not selfish in sharing your wisdom in fishing techniq... you guys are the best... thumbs up for you..

[@TAFishing]

If in UK,no,not yet.But the pier will probably make a small charge for using it.Generally just a few pounds.Beaches are free,unless otherwise stated,or you are near a marina etc,moored boats.Always best to check locally,but wide open beaches there is generally no problem

[@benny1161]

I’m going to be be getting back in to fishing. Haven’t been for so long. This looks like a great channel can’t wait to get some more tips and get down to the beach. Cheers

[@TAFishing]

Don't know the area, but I remember they used big clumps of mussel meat bound onto the hook with elasticated thread.That was years ago, but I bet it would still work. Two more good beach films done last week. Go up in about 10 days. Lots of tackle rig tips from real experts. Worth watching. Plus plenty of fish of course.

[@willthomas1604]

VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY HELPFUL, I knew I could rely on you! Thanks, keep up the good work.

[@66mimik]

Always look forward to new videos by you, as a fisherman of 15 year I always pick up a few tips from them

[@gordonwright85]

Thanks for the filming, that was really enjoyable its given me my confidence back to have a go again. Got all the gear

[@mynamespelled]

Great work! Fantastic info for a beginner like me! Simple and straight to the point. Love all the music you use in the background. You know how to fish and even better edit the videos.

[@cbinsyd]

Best video I've found. Gives me the comfort o give it a crack on my local beach now.

[@ea9167]

This is so informative and professionally done, I thought it was a TV show, not a youtube video! Well done!

[@TAFishing]

Thanks Tom! Glad you like it.

[@TAFishing]

Depends where you live. In the north there are still codling about.In the south it can be a bit dead,a few whiting and dabs,with school bass and flatfish in about another 6 weeks time.The Bristol Channel usually offers the best fishing about now.

[@johnodo10]

Great video lads. No frills just great tips and not a sequin or luminous bead in sight.

[@beck7394]

Really useful tips for beginner. Thank You, man

[@TAFishing]

I have done wading/surfcasting from Cape Hatteras up to Cape Cod etc, mostly for Red Drum/Bluefish so know that wading is more popular over your way.Here,the emphasis is on longer casting techniques, so no need to wade. I think our guys can put a lead out almost 300 yards on a field now ? and many can fish baits over 150 yards, so no need to wade. Good point though, but we don't seem to get the rips you do.

[@neversat]

I wear my waders when I fish from the beach to (usually) stay dry. Another great video. Thanks.

[@TAFishing]

The boats are catching them off the "Blocks" off Southsea right now,fish to 4lbs recently,but I would forget Hayling,and fish off the Southsea shoreline as youwill be closer to the Plaice mark. Anytime from now through to May is good.

[@dirkvandermerwe6027]

Very knowledgeable and experienced all round fisherman mister Graeme is...

[@TAFishing]

No idea on brands. Mine are very old Conoflex(Sussex) rods. I don't use anything else.12 feet, two piece, cast 4/6 ounce, maybe a bit more if there are rough seas/wind to contend with. I haven't a clue what the other latest brands are,I rarely go in a tackle shop.Why not see what is about secondhand on ebay ? Could save you some money if you just want some startup gear.Or maybe a couple of local sea fishing clubs.They might have members that could give/sell you some tackle.

[@johnboy9106]

Thanks a mill for that. Your videos are great by the way !

[@ethanevans773]

TAFishing have you done a video in wales ?

[@sarahwhite7278]

+TAFishing how far do u need to cast out

[@TAFishing]

+Sarah White I would say anything from 60 metres onwards should be enough to be in with the chance of a fish

[@charliebentz5346]

ɷɷ Heeeeyyy Frienddsss I Have Foundddddd Workinggg Online Hacck visitt : - t.co/oK6N4a1scH

[@TAFishing]

Glad you enjoy the videos

[@derekjamesjackson3670]

Great video, all about how to set up and start to fish, no trying to sell you something.keep up the good work.

[@guitarpiucker1]

enjoyed the show very much and learned alot. I am the worst fisherman you even saw, but I sure have fun. I will keep watching and learning . Thanks for all the tips.

[@rolflmaoweeee]

Good vid.I am a complete novice but wish to start beach fishing,this vid taught me a lot.

[@VerisonMember]

Awesome Tips!!! I have tried but I haven't caught a fish in 4 years! I began to doubt my techniques. Now I finally can be confident that I know what I'm doing! Thank You!

[@woodsmn8047]

I love your Light I have had the red painted one ...lots of green painted ones both double and single mantel ...but never the nickel plated one...That's the best one I have ever seen,,,,I am totally envious

[@louisphillips9311]

Finally a no nonsense basic video, learnt more in this video than 2 days reading forums

[@TheTrollhater]

Great back to basics stuff. I used to fish the Thames estuary at Grain and All Hallows..used to have some great weekends on the beach..I now fish here in Norther Germany ..same stuff applies here and now as then.. Keep it simple and keep alert ! .. Keep up the good work fella´s.. Jim

[@WillieRunte]

Such a great guy, thanks for the tips!

[@neilroberts7270]

i have been beach fishing at chesil beach in dorset for about a couple of years now. I am quite unsure of a lot of basics even though i do manage to catch a few fish. Thank you Soooooooo much for your videos they are absolutely intelligent from a teaching point of view and dead clear a top job THANK YOU.

[@yoandmark]

Thanks guys, I moved to the south west a while ago and fish off the peer...great vid , thank you

[@MAGICMASON20]

You are an amazing teacher...love your shows!!!

[@TAFishing]

Not sure what you mean by "matching"? We use Conoflex rods,based in Sussex,they should help you out with a rod if you tell them what your type of fishing is. For reels its a minefield of models.There's a cheaper make called STORM .We have just got the Firestorm 65.I think they retail about £49.Akios is a good make but a lot more money. So is Shimano,who have good gears.I think you need to talk to Tony Kirrage at his shop in Eastbourne. None of our outfits are matching.

[@damarkazuma]

great tips for a newbie like me, gonna try this on next holiday, thx

[@RadReelingFishing]

Great video. I love beach fishing. I live in S. W. Florida and am able to surf fish year round.

[@wparo]

try the rag worm and squid cocktail. you won't stop fishing! cods love them

[@Twirlyhead]

I thought that whiting was smiling for the camera but then I realised it had heard you say you were putting it back. Great video, thanks.

[@TAFishing]

and rods,and trout stuff,and garden strimmers etc. At least they always used to.Maybe marketed under Masterline now ?

[@Carroll49]

The Best Fishing show on Earth. We fish from the beach in south Alabama for whiting.

[@TAFishing]

From various tackle shops ? The rods are more specialist as they are old and might only now be on ebay ?

[@speedystu7922]

I am just starting out, im from Edinburgh Scotland and fished granton harbour last year which was really good for mackerel and just moved my fishing spot to musselburgh harbour this year and sometimes the union canal for pike, loving the videos TA Fishing, keep up the good work

[@TAFishing]

Good luck with the new fishing spots!

[@hutchinsonsadventures4678]

great advice, thank you.we have been given a load of fishing gear and just want to get out there.

[@TAFishing]

I would use straight 50/70lb mono,as I'm not a lover of fluoro.I find it stiff. But can be OK to make anti-tangle snoods etc.

[@AndysEastCoastAdventures]

Loved it reminded me of my childhood making stuff I needed rather than buying like a do now lol. Was completely obsessed by sea fishing living in clacton sent half my childhood on the pier with rod in hand. Coming back into it now again after several years break.

[@thiyagarajanguru3478]

as a beginner i love this video .. thanks guys ... nice to watch the video editing done is so good!!

[@keithofarrell3080]

Love all these hints & Tips for beginners like myself :-)

[@EmoGamerMonkey]

Hey great video going to try sea fishing near aldeburgh next week. This video has given me a lot more confidence and know how. Keep up the good work lads and tight lines

[@TAFishing]

It depends what ground you are fishing over and what the bass might be feeding on.If over open sandy beaches try lugworm,ragworm,sandeels or razorfish.If over broken ground,fillet of fresh mackerel,peeler crab,hermit crab,or frozen launce(a big sandeel)

[@holybutterfly8495]

I have a question , the worm that you use what worm is that ? Is a garden worm or something else ?

[@TAFishing]

Rarely off the beach. But I catch them spinning off rocks that drop into deep water. Feathers work better in deep water or from a boat.

[@desgoulding7154]

TOP VIDEOS I HAVE JUST STARTED TO FISH RECENTLY THIS HAS HELPED ME VERY MUCH THANKS

[@328Watcher]

Good video; nice firendly style without lots of commercials. Thanks.

[@colinbiggs244sniper]

Got some cheap kit and hoping to start beach fishing around Weymouth this year.The train is only 17.00 return so hoping leave car at home lol. Just got to find some fishing not to far [getting old lol] from the station. Enjoy your vids ,great work , thanks.

[@OFishAl]

This is brilliant. Totally new to sea fishing so thanks for all the tips!

[@TAFishing]

Sure. That will hold your bait in the same spot if there is no strong wind or tide flow. But the wired breakout of nose-wired leads will hold even better in areas of strong tides.

[@Yettiman1001]

I love your videos, you keep it real, everyday advice from a real fisherman, not a sales person trying to sell me a £500 combi.

[@jamiefairlie4837]

Love your videos mate your fantastic to watch was outfishing today but was windy and i was facing the wind as there were others fishing around me so i just noticed what you said in your video about facing the wind while casting its no good your better the wind behind you while you cast but will keep your tips and tricks

[@whiteflash72]

used to fish off south shields pier as a kid ... gonna get a another set up off santa and get back into it , cant wait now !!!

[@ukseafishingshow4617]

whiteflash i fish roker usaually and get fenomenal catch

[@whiteflash72]

Adventurous Sea Fishing Show thanks for the heads up mate only one problem ... i'm black n white so i wont be allowed through there 😆

[@swainston1]

never underestimate old smelly dead rag worm its an awesome bait..and some times it exactly what you need and will pull fish in when other baits wont...but great little vid guys well done :).

[@arvinbaral4061]

i love this show. could you make one witch teaches you on diff. baits for diff. kinds of fishes for saltwater shore fishing?

[@fallguy100000]

Done lots of fishing, never knew what a shock leader was....thanks. Dan in the US

[@anubast333]

Thank you so much for taking your time in explaining all those details. I have to drive a long time to go beachfishing and it is quite difficult to find proper teaching. I am really relying on videos like yours and on the advice of the occasional fisherman to learn seafishing. Please keep up the great work.

[@wagwanbennydj6003]

Well in ta love your channel going through some older videos now still a great video and great humor 😀

[@robertpayne1260]

Just turned 60 got my first rod thanks for the info have just subscribed waiting for the next one👍👍

[@thebigfisherman5685]

Good video guys, enjoyed it, me off beech casting soon (first timer) on family holiday to padstow, will use your rig method and see how and what I catch tight lines.:)

[@TAFishing]

If you get the chance and the tides are right,try fishing into the dark,or at least low light in the evenings.

[@jackweber9535]

New to your channel but I'm just gonna say in my opinion the best and also most basic knot for beginners is probably the grinner. Just saying if your new it will help you soo much.

[@DanielDemers]

Absolutely inspired to surf fish because of of you. Question: do you use bobbers with a drop shot while fishing on the beach?

[@Newbility2010]

Great tips, learn so much more than I learned from books.

[@krtgiroto]

Great video man, well done. No nonsense, world class!!!!

[@miguelsantos-bh9iz]

thank you guys. i'm caming to fishing today night in Southsea beach. hope will catch some bass and rays

[@felgate11]

A 2 foot or so length of 1 1/2" plastic drainpipe, sawn to a point works well on sandy beaches as a rod rest. I've used this & put it in the suitcase on foreign holidays!!
