[@callumgreen9040]

16:50 the fish went flying 😂😂

[@jofox8066]

I really love seeing that float! I've not been able to fish for over a year due to a car crash, but seeing your float there puts my mind at ease. Thanks!

[@kenw2662]

Good video. It’s good to see someone who still uses the same floats and reel that I use. I’ve a full range of Stillwater blues, great sensitive floats, also a few Makin floats. Just goes to show, if you look after your kit, it can last a lifetime.

[@obscurity8415]

Graeme, one of the few who can still put across the excitement you get when that float dips. Keep it up, great vids for both young and old.

[@easyfishing1936]

Great video as usual Graeme lots of people still like general float fishing

[@jimmyfireball]

Best way to fish imo

[@samtheman5587]

I can't believe you put that fish back. Flying Perch are extremely rare ;)

[@David-vb6yx]

Or on rivers, bud! Granted most rivers today are controlled by clubs, but there are public stretches and you are allowed to remove a certain amount of fish from them. Always best to check local rules first, though, and personally I like to see the fish I catch swim away for the next person.

[@mrendershark8910]

Keep it if you want to get band

[@michaelmcgill5633]

Guys geez it’s a joke

[@darsonb904]

I come back to this video all of the time and every time when that fish goes flying through the air I crack up with laughter. 😂

[@dackombe1]

Just got back to fishing thanks to my son.Forgotten so much and your videos have really helped.Many thanks

[@willo219]

Brilliant video, you remind me of John Wilson God rest his soul!

[@jofox8066]

I love that - 'kept away from the wife so I didn't have too many jobs' - my husband used to do that!!! By the way, I really love your show. It's one of the very best available on KZbin - you're a natural in front of the camera and really helpful for an angler like me who's only been fishing for two years. Thanks!

[@ukzero1pete]

One of my favourite ways of fishing, close in on light gear. My best at the moment is landing a 10lb 3oz Mirror Carp on 4lb line and 13 foot match rod. But fishing that close in makes me think of a challenge if you are up for it. That is to do with the colour of clothing, does it really matter? Are fish really spooked by colour, or is it just any sudden movement? The challenge? Try catching that close in wearing a Hi-Vis , either a slip on vest or jacket.

[@TAFishing]

I believe they don't see colour,just movement and vibrations.

[@jay_meash91measham46]

Mate your brilliant you have really brought back the passion for me gonna get fishing big time this summer. I'll continue too watch and follow. Keep u the great work thankyou.

[@davesharpe3877]

Enjoyed Part one, was out yesterday with a 10ft float rod, back to basics, bloody loved it! Lots of fish, lots of sport and good fun!! Part 2 spot on!!

Looks like a lake of fantastic rudd and your fishing for carp at your feet. Your journey to the dark side is complete

[@TAFishing]

No,don't worry I 'm pretty much burned out on Carp for the year. There will be more "carpy" films,but I don't think I can face any more for some time now...Its the call of the Salt now.

[@davidharvey5672]

much appreciated video as always. But you have to stay after school and write " I must keep my net handy" a hundred times lol

Great vid thanks for all the tips and funny banter 👍🏻

[@ainzooalgown6450]

I've been off the fish for a few years and sorting through mine and my late grandads kit has made me want to kit up again. But with lockdown, that's not been an option. I know these are old vids but you're a class angler.

[@David-vb6yx]

Completely agree, flask tea is dirt! lol. Try just keeping hot water in your flask (bags, sugar and milk separate). So much nicer tea actually tastes fresh, although is a real pain when you get bites while trying to make your cuppa... Scratch that, camping stove and a maid solves all above problems lmao

[@shmit3237]

That flying perch cracked me up because i did the same once on the canal and it landed right in front of a very pretty girl walking past. face palm haha. You definitely beet me on altitude though Graham.

23:17 Now that's a beauty!

[@shanemaguire7874]

One worm and a single red maggot is the best combo for big roach,perch,bream,crucians, and pretty much every medium to large size coarse species

[@quackchung]

Not exactly the situation for the antenna float, but anyway you caught. I love using an antenna on deeper still water on light tackle to catch fish from all depths. With the droppers spaced out evenly, you can count the time each dropper shot takes to settle and take the antenna down to it's new position. Any irregularity in the new positioning/ timing of the antenna tells you a fish has intercepted the hook bait and you strike even if the tip is still above the surface as this has taken it on the drop. A great way to catch fish throughout the water column, so pleasing when you have skillfully balanced the rig to do as intended.

[@hishaamadam1460]

if you could sum up TAFishing in one sentence Graeme did at 37:12...and thats what make him so popular..KEEP IT UP

[@colinh6164]

Love your vids all old school stuff, tackle shops must hate you. Going back 60 years i use to fish Ham Pits and Thames at Ham & Hampton Court by Hurst Park racecourse side.

Great vids Graeme,i wish i could join you out there as i am just about to change my fishing from sea & loch pike fishing.I know very little about carp fishing,but really want to get into it now i think.

I appreciate these videos, I just wish you had included more details (videoing) the actual rigging. Thanks for these.

I either float or ledger. my biggest being 10lb so far. I figure that's not bad for a 15 year old. I would like a 20 pounder though

good evening. just got back in to float fishing after a 10 year break, used to go with my granddad as a boy and started up again. does size matter with the rod?. I have a lovely 10ft match rod perfect for Rudd/roach etc and small carp, I also have a 13ft float road and quiver tip (match). should I stick the the longer rods?.

Love your videos

[@gadgetfpv]

Loving the video's... Can you do a small video on how to use a Desgorger... Having just taken up the hobby for about a month, I still don't understand how to use this properly, especially when the hook is down the throat... Thanks

[@davidworsley7969]

The general rule is-if you can't see the hook,leave it where it is and cut the line as far down as you can. With barbless hooks using a disgorger is a doddle-any tackle dealer or fellow angler will show you how-never be afraid to ask.

[@gadgetfpv]

Thank you for the comment... Yes, anyfish I struggle with, I recruit the help of a more experienced angler... My priority is the welfare of the fish...

Great video Graeme. Do you gents have any plans to fish outside the British Isles this year?

Maybe Ireland this year.Just don't seem to get time for the foreign sport with our filming schedule,though it would be nice.I once has 21 weeks out of the country in one year on assignments...those were the days...where's that suntan oil ! Marlin...Tuna...Bonefish...sharks...Spring Salmon...Giant Sturgeon...

nice film last nite graham.are you sure your not that Mr CRABTREE your as good as him if not better mate.i use your groundbait mix all the time now mate BAILEYS and BRAN. cant beat it.when are you going to tell us the secret formula for your RAPTOR OIL you can tell me and I shant tell anyone.PROMISE. keep up the good work mate.

[@georgeaskari2117]

10ft rod would help prevent bumping off as you get more control when the fish is closer in to the bank

[@denisrosenov2805]

It will be great if you make pike fishing on livebait or make a video about pike fishing for beginers.

[@TAFishing]

I think there is one in our Pike playlist with livebait tips.

[@mr.phil.a]

If you're a beginner please bear (bare)? in mind that not using a landing net and throwing the fish back in the water will get you banned from a lot of fisheries.

[@richardthered]

Charlie. Graeme did use a landing net and hardly could be held responsible for the flying perch. Ive never ever seen a small stunned fish being tossed back in have you??

[@mr.phil.a]

Rudd. 8 mins in. No net. I'm not bothered about it, I'm just saying a lot fisheries don't like it. 😊

[@mr.phil.a]

Perch 11 mins in. No net. I haven't made it up. 😂

[@richardthered]

I know what you are saying bud, i was not taking issue with it as you are technically right. Some fisheries would take offence to it, But there is a huge difference between a toss and a throw. All Graemes were under armed. Every fisherman does it. He did not throw any fish. The Perch was to small for the net. Come on bud, stop the fishing policing and just enjoy a old very wise man with a great personality fishing and making us smile for free. Not much i life is free, and Graeme and Mike have made some fantastic video's. Best one being the catching fish on Jelly Babies and Graeme losing it on a sugar rush and getting wind lol

[@mr.phil.a]

richardthered I watch their vids regularly too 😊 I'm going to try and catch a carp with the heart from a jammy dodger. 😂

[@adamferguson7908]

If the carp are there then PIT THE BLOODY BAIT IN 😂😂

[@charliedorricott1717]

again thanks for the tips and do you know any decent lakes around southampton area ?

[@EstBest69]

Seems you guys are using a gropro 3+ silver, the 1080p video is kind of pixely on that, i've noticed it on my 3+ silver aswell. I dont know if its the fault of editing or the camera, im guessing the camera though. Any thoughts about that?

[@TAFishing]

Mike has the better GoPro,he lets me use his old one. Its been mistreated so badly but still clinging on . Really need a larger version GoPro with better sound capability. Maybe they will make one.

[@jack0f.c143]

What size hooks did you use

[@thomastooze9641]

Plz do number 3👌🏼👌🏼

[@TheMeta6]

another great vid! what's the advantage of a closed face reel? I've never used one.

[@carsonking5549]

You don't get the tangles and they are excellent for trotting on a river.

[@TAFishing]

I find closed face better for trotting on a river as it has a slighter larger spool diameter than a fixed spool reel so less line memory,and less float disturbance as it goes down the river.Less float disturbance = more bites.

[@jonahallen325]

hey I was wondering have you ever fished in Thailand ? I love the channel keep it up

[@johnanthonydrewe7962]

hello Graeme 13 ft match rod , what size reel , 4000 size or 2000 , what woukd you recomend ?

[@TAFishing]

Depends what size of fish you are after. I think my two most used are 2500 and 3000

[@davidprice5707]

enjoyed it but the sound needs some attention. Tight lines

[@benas5449]

1:47 why its going on one headphone side?

[@TAFishing]

It's not a stereo microphone

[@eliseos4127]

In Australia, carp are rubbish fish. In fact, it's the only fish that no matter size we can not throw back into the water given the amount of damage they have caused. Nobody activelt fishes for these 'mongrel' fish and to eat them...yuk!

[@anthonygary8789]

I have been seeing different post everywhere about Mr ben cesaro and a lot of investors keep saying `breach out to him.

Do people eat carp?? Sorry I just don’t know.I’m a catch and release fisherman.I don’t eat fish ether.

[@TAFishing]

In some countries they do,even in England the Monks used to keep them in ponds for eating. I would say everything gets returned over here now.

[@welshj]

what your pb on carp please graham ?

[@TAFishing]

I don't have time to fish for big carp,but its a 35lb river common ,which was nice. My favourite method is floater fishing at close range as I find visual stalking of individuals way more satisfying than the self hooking style. I guess I would boilie fish about three times a year at the most. And that's just to do filming.

[@welshj]

TAFishing ok thank you very much love your channel by the way been a fan for about 2 3 years i think love fishing cant wait till my son is old enough to take him

[@hawkeye7862]

TAFishing 35lb from a river 😳 that my friend would make me more proud than catching a 50+ pound lake in a lake that rammed with fish!! That is a once in a lifetime catch 🎣🎣

[@harryboiiboii2944]

We're are u fishing

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

99% of the time when I fish, the fish takes the float under the water, I strike but the hook just comes out, pops out the water. iv tried changing the hooks bigger and smaller between size 8 to 12 with a maggot or two or two sweet corns but as I say the fish takes the bait and I can never seem to hook them :(

[@SWINDLA87]

Rickalls Outdoors Try a smaller hook like an 18-14. Also make sure that you're not fishing over depth so spend a couple of minutes plumbing up around your swim, that way you have a general idea of how deep the water is in your swim rather than just the specific point that you're fishing.

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

ok, thank you. how having a smaller hook helps? I would of thought if its bigger it more likely to stick, but I don't know enough. how does a smaller hook stick better? how fishing over depth effect the hooking? sorry for all the questions but I haven't been coarse fishing for over 15 years ands forgotten it all lol. cheers

[@SWINDLA87]

Rickalls Outdoors The chances are you're missing bites because the hook is too big so the fish can nick the bait without the hook ever going into the fishes mouth. If you're fishing over depth or too deep then the fish could take the bait off the hook before the float has gone all the way under. Is that easy enough to understand? Just ask if you have any more questions ☺

[@SWINDLA87]

So try addressing those 2 points I made. 1.Hook size 2.Depth There's a really good video on KZbin that explains it in a very simple manner called: A beginners guide to float fishing with Matt Hayes

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

thank you! I did try asking on a facebook group but they where too busy slagging me off. thanks for that. ill check out the video, used to watch matt hayes on tv when I was a teen. cheers

[@jamesrussel1133]

I love the fact you are catching on a renovated rod bought for £1 from a skip. You could be using all sorts of top gear sponsored by big manufacturers but no you keep it real ( no pun intended) proving you can catch on the most budget of tackle, that it is an accessible hobby for beginners, even pensioners too. The top end tackle manufacturers must hate you….good!😂

Listen to that “kept away from the wife so I didn’t get to many jobs” again I’m sorry I’m a dirty 14 year old 😂

[@matthewtanner9823]

Why is it that at these commercial fisheries you always get people talking that can be heard right across the lake/pool? Have Humans lost the ability to whisper or keep their voices down? Or is it because they want everyone else to hear what they've got to say?
