Crazy fishing using left over bait - Waste nothing!

Crazy fishing session using leftover bait! After doing an all-night big Carp session what better to relax than just start fishing again through the following day...Sleep not required....In this episode GP scrapes together whatever groundbait he has left from a night trip and aims to catch fish using it in another lake. He has no quivertip rods but marries together 2 of his Carp rods to his regular reels in the hope that it might do the job. Using banded pellet as hookbait he fishes both a margin rod and another cast further out..which one will produce the action ??...Then its back to the Totally Awesome film studio when he goes through lots of random tackle and bait theories that will surely get you thinking...Just under an hour long there are plenty of random ideas from the fisherman that always enjoys thinking "outside the box. Enjoy.

[@brian1204]

Always use leftover bait; wrap it in plastic and freeze it. I laughed when you lost that last fish, said “home time”, and then fill up the feeder one more time! 😂 This Yank always enjoys your vids!

[@DjDolHaus86]

The homemade feeder looked very much like what's called a banjo feeder, they're good when you don't want to put too much feed in but you want that neat presentation that you get with a method feeder. Personally I don't think they're much good under an ounce in empty weight (both method and banjo) as you really need the weight to give the bolt effect, you end up getting hard to identify bites otherwise where you're either striking at liners or missing proper bites. Method feeders are hard to beat for early season tench, a nice fishmeal groundbait with a few bits and pieces mixed in (not too much or it'll fall apart on the drop) and then a worm cut into 3 bits and threaded on a hair rig, they're absolute suckers for it. As for your question about boilie life - fresh ones (freezer bait) will rot after a couple of days, gas up and float to the surface. Shelf life can vary, some brands last a week or two before gassing up and coming to the surface whereas others can stay more or less recognisable for months. Its mildly concerning but the up side is that you can leave shelf life boilies soaking in a bucket of some kind of diluted attractant for a week before a session and they'll have fully soaked through ready to leak out attraction when in the swim. They'll be much softer than straight out the pack but still tough enough to catapult or put out a reasonable distance with a throwing stick. I like doing this on silty lakes as I feel it stops the baits picking up that silt smell as they hydrate and suck in water on the lake bed which I feel could potentially mask the attraction.

[@TAFishing]

Thanks for taking the time to comment,its all interesting stuff.

[@Edmatthewspsychicmedium]

Theory time. Love it, it’s great 👍

[@kevinsmith-vm1kz]

Sir......at around the 32 min mark your talking about the the method feeder and its swivel, I tie the swivel to the mainline then attach the quick clip to the swivel and then my hooklink to the clip and always use a small bit of rubber over the clip to stop the hooklink coming off, just thought i'd share. great film as always.

Hello great video , yes wasps are very very bad this year I have a wasps nest under ground in my rockery I got stung once ,before I knew they were there , I'm A self employed gardener 2 weeks ago I was cutting back some overhanging scrub and went straight through a wasps nest with my hedgecutter got stung by my eye and 5 times on my scalp , my left side of faced swelled up I had to take 2 days off work took antihistamines to get swelling down , had similar experience 2 years ago trampling across some ferns stood on a underground nest whilst cutting a hedge got stung about 5 times they went up my t shirt got trapped, I think this year its been the humid weather in September thats made them very aggressive, also watch out for flowering ivy in hedges they love it , all the best .jason

Enjoyed theory time a lot Graeme. Maybe not as many all at once though,. would like to comment on quite a few so would end up writing an essay 😉. I have been battling what must have been a massive wasp nest for a few months. They were under the house floors they had got in through an air brick. They were coming up through the floor boards dozens at a time. Nightmare stuff several cans of nest killer and wasp powder later I think I have them beat. Amazingly neither the good lady or myself were stung once. ATB.

[@TAFishing]

Hi there Grimsby...I am literally editing next week's theory time right now..Be prepared...

[@andyking1171]

great video again graham....now reference theory to the boilie breakdown times, people need to understand if you buy boilies off the shelf they are usually full of preservative's that make them shelf life, if you go for the frozen type these tend to breakdown as they have no preservatives in, but another point to mention is not to be fooled as some companies still put preserved boilies in the freezer to convince us were buying fresh, my experience is buy them from someone you can trust and know what they are being made from👌😉, keep the good work love watching the videos.

Had a wasp nest in the ground in my garden too. Tav's Tops Tip for you Graham, Squirt some old fashioned ant powder into and around the hole. As they fly out in defence of the nest they will invariably get some out it on them. They will die from it. You can then dig out and use the wasp grub to fish with! Thanks for Theory time. Almost Jack Hargreaves like! ;)

Thank you for another great download. Although I no longer course fish, but I love watching and listening to you. The hint/tips you come up with are great for all levels of anglers. I have to ask the question though why do we pay for a fishing license when the rivers and canals are in such poor condition? The crayfish killed of my then local canal and from good mixed bags of fish it became a crayfish fest, sad to hear the Kennet has on gone the same way.

[@TAFishing]

I think your comment echoes the thoughts of many fishermen.

[@Frank-vz5zf]

Although there are many downsides to this there is a few upsides ... All be it not enough upsides but I have noticed since these invasive crayfish have took hold, the amount of huge perch I've caught is quite amazing! I caught 1 a while back that was about 3 pounds and I noticed something sticking out of its back end ... Turns out it was a crayfish head 🤦

[@inspirality]

Wasps will nest in holes in dry ground Graeme. I had a nasty experience with them doing that in my front garden under the roots of a rose bush. Soaking them with a hose gave me the same result as you hitting the ground with a length of 4x2 but thankfully ant powder sorted them out 😉

well they do have those Pharangeal teeth which they use to crush their food up like all Cyprinids,but as for the actual dissolve rate,I don't know. Maybe someone else does. It could be once the outer skin of the boilie is broken then the inside breaks down quicker.

It would keep the Cray's from getting it but it's awful for the carp and other fishes mouths, should only be used for pike and Zander.

I had the same with wasps in holes in my garden ground, I poured a vast amount of petrol down the holes and lit it straight after, due to the petrol vapour being really condensed it exploded the ground like a mortar. Luckily, I poured a huge amount of petrol down or the wasps would have flown out and stung me to hell, but the ones that actually got out the hole all flew at me on fire and dropped down burning to death. I had a few jack daniels beforehand beforehand, hence the idea lol. Now i just have the rats under the shed to deal with.... i'm off to get some JD now..

Many years ago I was fishing a lake and I walked over to my friend and said “I’m being plagued with wasps” he came over to where I was fishing and said “your right there’s loads of them” he went through the bushes to see if he could find the nest, as he walked back to me he spotted the nest and he said “get up slowly and don’t bang the ground” as I was getting up he showed me a hole in the bank right between my legs, this happened to be the nests entrance, boy was I lucky I vacated that spot so quickly I was a blur.
