Fishing on the Blood Moon...(This River is doing my head in!)

Fishing on the blood moon. As always GP tells it as it is and this time he is out on a local River still trying to work out where the fish are...and he doubles up his effort by going twice,to different areas in his quest for some rod-bending action...but he gets a good shot of the "Blood Moon" once it gets dark. Will it be an omen of good fishing?? Then it’s into the Random section for a Tackle Up talk from Grant , and finally a bit of Country stuff to get you relaxed...Enjoy!

i loove this channel, so informative and great for me to learn about fishing and trying to film it, thanks mate, mat

[@hellrazor2050]

I have had some great blanks. Ireland sea trout and salmon fishing Sea Otters in swim no chance of catching but the sight was awesome . Back in uk heron sitting like a statue then woosh he got his prize. Sparrow Hawks diving into the trees, Kestrels and Buzzards patrolling the fields . All sights i have seen when the fishing is slow. We all want to catch fish but sometimes that blank opens your eye's to other things going on around you .

[@jamesbest2983]

Dear Graeme- I’m sorry to hear that we are in the same page- I thought an older more established government would have cleaned the refuse out of the parliamentary workings of your country! My condolences to you- I guess we both have an excess of fish bait!! Keep the “great “ videos coming!! And Happy New Year to your misses and daughter!!- only -45 degrees today!!

[@stewartmercer19]

The thing is Graeme... No flipper gives a flying flip if you blank.( observe how I changed some words there)..it's just you we are all here to watch and listen to you, we want to see a blanks as that gives more realism..( but at the same time we don't )... you are the man, man! And WE get to Grant, fantastic info

[@paulAnthony7236]

These little rivers and streams are hidden gems I bet some have records in never to be caught.Seems a lovely peaceful place to fish.

[@robertcotton9091]

Very enjoyable to watch as always Sir, many thanks! Please keep up the good work Mr Pullen :) You are very fortunate to have caring upstanding anglers who are prepared to clear swims for all concerned ................. : )

[@floydgilmour3994]

The guy that cleared the swim is a fishing legend i'm sure 😏

[@jamesbest2983]

You never patted yourself on the back for doing the work setting up that fishing area- but keep up the good work as it will help you manicure your own yard at home !!

[@borderlands6606]

Spoons are good for getting down deep on a slow retrieve. The job has been taken over to some extent by soft weighted lures like Bulldawgs, but a good spoon is still a fish catcher. My favourite was the Mister Muskie which had just the right casting weight and lazy action, and caught me dozens of pike. It was based on, and superior to, the Efgeeco Piker (made by Paravan of Norway), and a muskie copy is now available as the "Pikerman" spoon. To answer the question, older pike books are full of spoons with a treble on the front split ring, and some came armed with trebles either side the blade, which would have done nothing for the action!

[@dazk6592]

You’re a legend Graeme👍👍👍

[@bendrowe]

If you need harder baits to stop the crayfish whittling the bait down so quickly, Graeme, buy a small bottle of glycerin from the baking section of the supermarket and glue the boilies in that. The glycerin hardens them up to no end

[@cliveeariss880]

Hello mate, great video as always, lovely sunshine, im off to the Thames this weekend and going to use the whip, should be fun, but will take the float rod just in case, all the best Graeme.

Blood moon and a Friday night? Hmmm, well listen for the howling, lol, I'm sure there's a lot of crazies out chasing rabbits and howling at the moon, we've got them here, used to be one myself in my younger days! Haha! Too bad about the crawdads, crayfish, I'd be using them for bait, if I could!!

Try using just the 1 rod on those small rivers when after the barbel Graham. As usual a informative and interesting video.

Hi Graeme, These Mixed Videos are Outstanding. The input from Grant is so informative and so appreciated. Does Grant deliver products?, if so maybe a link to his shop would help his business and help us too. Maybe you already have a link and i have missed it. Always playing catchup here but looking forward to tonight's Friday upload from you. Steve in Fife.

[@TAFishing]

Hi Steve, I don't have any links but you should be able to pull him up,its called Tackle Up.Fleet.Hampshire. I imagine he must post stuff out .Just give him a call.

[@babylonsburning1]

Fishing the waggler yesterday on the Nene, a swim much like the one you gardened, I caught a net of decent Roach and Rudd , small Chubb and Dace on maggets and sweetcorn. A pike was crashing about, even latching onto a good roach that luckily it let go and I landed. But the strangest thing was I caught 3 perch on sweetcorn. I suppose they see the yellow and snatch at it.

When are you next planning a beach/sea fishing video this winter?

[@TAFishing]

I put a shore one up a few weeks ago ?

[@JohnWhite-tg9wf]

as an old school yes rivers are not what they used to be,small fish also are eaten by crayfish, are artificial baits banned on that river? if no rubber boilies are available or mesh around your standad baits

[@williamavery9185]

I cant help myself I have to view the full moon and howl like the wolf in Asterix....happens every month fishing or not.

[@NoodlesTBograt]

The locals are at home eating crayfish

[@martinbuck3094]

The crayfish will bhe eating the fish eggs so there won't be the fry! I had a crayfish take a small soft jelly lure that I was using Perch fishing on my local canal!

[@TAFishing]

I think the powers that be are unaware of the devastating damage these critturs are doing to our waterways. I believe in Florida they have several invasive species now embedded in their natural systems,one of which is the Python ?..I think they are allowed to be culled,and I guess they can eat the meat plus utilise the skins while at least keeping them under control.

[@freddyoutdoors]

@15:09 Whoever cleared that area for the swim obviously knows what he is doing, he should probably make his own KZbin channel or something and pass on his knowledge to people like me... all the gear and no idea!

[@sheldonlunn7050]

I'm told all that will be left after the next war is Keith Richards, and cockroaches. I think we can now add GP's boilies to the list of the post apocalyptic extant... And long after Keef and his insectoid pals have scuttled off home, you'll still find GP fishing some off the beaten track backwater!

[@Enpassantful]

This shows how polluted our rivers have become, normally you would expect to catch in a venue like that.

[@TAFishing]

I just don't get why there are not loads of fry dimpling the river's surface like it was 40 years ago...And its not just this river,there seems to be a total lack of smaller fish coming on through the river systems.

[@Enpassantful]

@@TAFishing That’s the first sign I look for these days before fishing a river, if you can’t see fry in the margins, it’s a sure sign that the river is not as healthy as it should be. What with slurry from farms and sewage from water companies, our rivers are getting worse by the year.

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Lack of fish in rivers & steams. Is do to Crayfish , eating the fish eggs. The person who cleaned out the swim 🙏🙏. They should ask for money from the, fish & wildlife. For DOING all of that WORK . .

[@jamieeatwel2157]

Is it not time we as anglers try to do something about these crayfish do fish eat them? Obviously when there smaller, can we not use them as bait when netted or trapped even turned into flavourings for other baits ??? Been watching ages shout out big g !!!!

[@TAFishing]

As I understand it they can't be used as bait,or even thrown back in the water dead .I guess in case they release eggs. Anyone else out there know the rules and regs ??...I'm sure there will be plenty ....

[@ChrisGarside]

Anyone ever just pinned out a lure on a dropper and had success

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

So what does your, fishing license more pay for. If the rivers & steams, are chocked up with water weed & Crayfish. As I have heard that, you have to PAY for a license to catch Crayfish. What is that money spent ON 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@brianreed1451]

fished a match on the Dorset Stour last Sunday. Won with 2 minnows. Water Companies can do what they want. Have had 40lb of Roach 2 years ago

[@TAFishing]

The Stour used to be famous for its Roach shoals. I used to do a few feature articles for the Angling Press years ago up at Hampreston ,and in summer it was a lovely stretch for Roach. I have no idea what its like now.

[@peterream9437]

Why were the rivers left to silt up and weeds to grow? Prevent flooding? Increase the bio diversity of wildlife?

[@fish-qg4nu]

Even ta fishing isn’t safe from bots in the comments 😂

[@BarmyTwubble]

[@bigmoncrief6071]

That river bed must be carpeted with crayfish. The fishery need a plan to target and remove them. The fish species populations are obviously in terminal decline.

[@crvnmrhd]

The big problem with crayfish in your waters is no natural predators. Here in the states we have largemouth, spotted, and smallmouth bass, as well as gar and bowfin that keep the crayfish in check. All you can do is trap them and put them in a crayfish boil!

[@ChrisGarside]

Wish I could have a go at freshwater bass bet there a good pull on a 40g rod
