Fishing Next To Old Wartime Defences - Epic Session!

Graeme goes inshore fishing near some submarine wartime defences. On this episode of TA Fishing Graeme goes aboard Wayne Comben's 17-foot boat as the head off to try fishing by some submarine wartime defences. Using a chum trail of bran and mashed Horse Mackerel they soon draw out the occupants of the underwater defences, often hooking them 2 at a time. It's all light tackle fishing with spinning rods, small hooks and baits of Ragworm, Sandeel and Squid. Sit back and enjoy yet another original film from T.A. Fishing, the channel dedicated to help newcomers to fishing.

The forts predate the world wars. They were build to prevent the French from invading. All 3 forts have just gone on sale for £9 million.

Great stuff. Myself and my son watch all the videos and its help over this pandemic. Thank you for putting in the time and for the tips. We had some lovely carp on peas. Keep it up best show on you tube.

Try a single pea tipped with either double red maggot or small brandling.

I was watching one of your older videos, you said that tea from a thermos is quite unpleasant. I totally agree with you on that, but if you only put hot water in the thermos and just bring the tea and bits for it you'll find it a lot more pleasant. Nit only that, you never have to wash the thermos out as you've only had hot water in it.

The sea forts were built as a result of the 1859 Royal Commission, so are Napoleonic.

[@stephenbuckham1812]

Very good video i love days like that not to much sun nice and overcast

[@geraldlrstubbs]

The forts were built during the Napoleonic wars along with the Martello towers. They were built in the Solent in order to cover the approaches within cannon range of the land and the forts.

[@aiferapple1246]

Napoleonic forts Graeme. Built around 1870 to defend the UK against the French under Napoleon III. They were known originally as Palmerston's Forts and were never really used then as the French had already been defeated by the time the forts were finished. They were actually used during the 1st and 2nd World Wars to defend the coasts. They are gun emplacements, generally originally housing 7" RML Guns that fired a 64 pound shell over 3 miles

[@casinodelonge]

you used to be able to hire Spitbank for parties, it was brilliant!!

[@TAFishing]

Good comment,thanks for that. I'm trying to get in my head around a 64lb shell,same weight as a 64lb blue shark flying through the air for 3 miles. That's some weight of munition to lift.

[@aiferapple1246]

@@TAFishing I know..... at 1,500 feet per second. The shell was around the size of a fire extinguisher. Sometimes solid metal, sometimes explosively packed. Not bad for the Victorian era :)

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

It's interesting to me how you use many similar rigs and baits that I use here in Queensland and catch many similar types of fish, even though we're on opposite sides of the planet. Other times, such as your freshwater sessions, leave me almost baffled. I'm loving it. Another nice adventure with TA.

Great job again and alwaysinformative

[@danieloneill3398]

Hope your keeping well. I’ve been waiting for small boat fishing video.

[@daniellaird804]

there are 4 island forts in total built in 1856 to deter a French invasion but by the time they were built there was no threat. they housed 18 pounder cannon and howitzer too. when the threat of world war 1 approached they were modernised to house newer cannon then when world war 2 broke out they had added defenses of anti aircraft aswel. but these forts never fired a shot in anger or defense they were backed up by several forts in the Isle of White and further forts of the cost of portsmouth. they are currently up for sell but because they are a listed building your very limited to what you can do with them one was converted into a hotel but it no longer operates as one. hope this info helps.

[@daniellaird804]

shame Graham doesn't do around the East anglian cost but then again its been terrible this year sherringham is weed washed weybourne to salthouse is dead. only succes was nine wells but then all that is is bass and dab round there.
