I grew up float fishing and after so many years it's hard to believe that float fishing has become a niche. Crucian carp and tench are great sport on lighter tackle.

[@RTSFoto]

Another superb tutorial Graeme, taking me a while to watch all your videos, thanks again for taking the time to put them out, mate. I am taking up fishing again after about 35yrs and you are showing me methods of fishing that were not around back then and of course, bringing back some nice memories.

[@1963TOMB]

You're an inspiration to us not so experienced anglers who want to have a go without the need for all the expensive gear. Keep Pullen them in!!!

[@spatewater]

Dave is a top notch bloke!

[@joshualedwith7104]

Your the most awesome fishing channel on utube keep at it

[@johnwalker91]

Just wished there was more lakes managed like this for tench and crusians love float fishing

[@georgecain8279]

If only every tackle shop was this knowledgable and approachable. I’ve had a few funny looks at some of the more ‘retail chain’ style tackle shops

[@UnderwaterScotland]

The crucians are awesome fish, used to fish for them as a little boy,had lots of fun catching them😀great place n vid👍cheers

[@matthewbeddow3278]

Lovely to see a lake stocked with prime Crucian Carp, catching the big carp is fun but I do like the more old fashioned fishing.

[@goffy39]

Very nice Crucians Graeme, i do enjoy catching them.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Damn! That’s a beautiful place Graeme! I love to be able to cross the big pond someday and fish some of Britain’s beautiful waters! Now that’s on my bucket list!!!!!

[@connordixon4109]

Fantastic video. Plenty of tips there. My favourite fish are crucian so thank you alot. I would love to go a days coarse fishing with you Greame.

[@ggwildlife]

Bury Hill my go to fishery for just about every speices you need.. great bag of crucians there Graham well done mate. i will be visiting very shortly for crucians/Tench.

[@justluvfishinguk]

Awesome buddy..tons of fish … top man cheers Chris & Sam

[@Rhodietoo]

Going to Burton Springs tomorrow, to take grandson float fishing, hope some crucians will be in the mix. The fishery has been nicely upgraded by the new owners.

[@TAFishing]

Good luck with the Crucians..ideal species for a youngster using the float.

[@dahutful]

"Savor the moment" - love that!

[@valdano6297]

I am really enjoying your videos. Very good show. Thank you.

[@paulwhite859]

[@slothape]

Woo Bury Hill, love it down there.

[@keithhilton1564]

Fantastic condition Crusians lovely lakes and a knowledgeable bailiff as well. Totally Awesome fishing and no big carp in sight.

[@gighina]

another awesome video, Graeme

[@mnd1955]

Very good video that. Takes me back a good number of years to when I used to fish in a mid-sized pond in a farmer's field in Cheshire. Caster was favourite and sometimes bread. I used to chuck a crust into the water the day before (Mr. Crabtree style) and the Crucians and Rudd would come around. Not huge fish but fun to catch. Early morning was the best time for Tench and I had the pond to myself so no witnesses to the near-records I caught. Oh well... ;-)

[@ADzstat]

One of my favourite fish top work as always sir

[@mattgosling6757]

that was a beautiful catch,would love a day fishing for those.

[@stringman509]

Use to go fishing when I was a kid been round a lake where I live may take it up again just something about fishing

[@SoonGone]

Graeme got a blue rinse for the beginning of this video. Nice 😆

[@bobnudd]

Wow well done ! this program should be on sky ! its not often you see crucians any more where i live in the north west of the uk its rare you catch them these days .

[@barriewatson]

nice Video Graeme l like the coarse fishing videos a lot

[@nenemannick4455]

Crucian carp on the float,in the summer.........magic. What about that nice rudd you had and showed the camera,just before 23mins,you didn`t give it a mention. Thoroughly enjoyed the video Graeme.

[@louisthomas4857]

love the vid keep it up but can we see some surface carp fishing nice one guys

[@muzzy162]

Great Video ....!!!👍

[@DjDolHaus86]

If you're ever down Plymouth way then get in contact, I know a quiet lake with some pretty big crucians (3lb 8oz is my pb from the place) just the other side of the river. Average stamp of roach is about half a pound, loads of bream, a few tench and carp and some very big (although tricky) rudd.

[@mrbtboydify]

I've turned to sea fishing this year but watching this has made me want a crucian. My fave coarse species and I know a little lake with not a lot of them but when u get one it's definitely going to be over two pound my pb is 3.8lb and bailiffs is 4.8lb on lake. One prob not allowed to show pics of lake or tell where it is. But I would tell Graeme if he wants hehe

[@robertharris2818]

I love fishing and when I can not get on the bank I watch TA fishing show always makes me won't to get on the bank

[@danielspencer7749]

Bury hill I was there Saturday just gone, seems strange to have just been there and then to see it on your channel

[@gymmad86]

Nice normark float rod 👍

[@davidsteer1941]

Thanks for this. As a beginner I’d have preferred some more film of a bite, how the float reacts and when/ how hard to strike. Otherwise good effort.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Very nice outfits you have there Graeme! Very nice 👍!

[@shaneshutt]

Brillint , totally awesome fishing keep up the good work. Can you make more fishing for carp videos please . Thanks

[@TAFishing]

GamerX Working on one literally right now.10.30pm I'm still on the edit suite.Should be up very soon.More carpy tips from another expert.Keep watching....and spread the Awesome word.....

[@peterblunsden1256]

More fisheries should have traditional waters, light gear, multi species fishing, very underated

[@kimhollick3158]

Graeme, the silver one is an F1 carp hybrid, similar to a crucian they are made when a carp and a crucian breed. Also you can use 2mm micro pellets in a cage feeder or around a method feeder and it works very well, give it a try.

[@TAFishing]

Kim Hollick Yep we've already filmed the 2mm pellets and method feeder last week, it will be up soon

[@jackgoesgaming10]

I fish bonds lake there and a session ago I pulled out a 16lb 3oz common it's an amazing fishery

[@robertharris2818]

First class fishing

[@nasilamak2201]

I really enjoy your channel. What are your thoughts on the Hardy Zenith fly rods?

[@Daniel.McGinnis23]

Greame i live very close to bury hill and and part of the carp membership my uncle has a couple of lakes very near to bury hill that have some absolute stunning lakes and there a lake that the angling times think could break the golden orfe record it newdigate farms look it up and be awsome to see you on the bank some day

[@arcanekrusader]

Grand little lake, Milton!

[@sykosyksi]

Awesome video mate! Love crucian carp fishing. Could you tell me the name of the music that is playing at 21.08 please? Cheers! Keep em coming 🐟

[@connorhudston6895]

GREAT video, honestly better than most of those actors on the fishing show in TV. Im looking at starting to float fish in my local river that ranges from a fast flow to and extremely slow flow (4-10 yards across) but what are your top 3 tips for a new float fisherman?

[@geoffsaunderson5766]

Connor Hudston well no answer so let me have a go, plumb your depth, spend 10 a couple of mins, float unweighted plumb it out, start off by setting your float over depth leaving maybe 3-4ins in the bottom! That done, put out a bit of ground bait quantity depending on conditions, (are the fish on it? Ask around, ask other anglers how it's going) like the man says you can put it in but can't take it out, go easy, bait up your chosen swim, take your time, relax, get everything ready and your self comfortable net and mat ect at hand, all set, bait your hook, and drop it into your baited area with the least fuss and noise possible, sit back, look for signs of life, scan the lake for your next move, the bit will come eventually, then it's just a case of topping that swim up with loose feed, keep the shoals heads down, little is better than too much, you need thos fish competing! A feeding shoal will bring in more fish, trickle feed! Let's say it's all going by the book, you have a frothing mass of fish infront of you! You have 2 choices, start lowing your float so your baits off the bottom in increasing chances of a bite on the drop! Or (this is maybe just me,) assume this activity is going to bring the big fish in, swap over to a larger bait or even plastics, something that's Gana hand around longer, resist the smaller fish and give the big girls a chance at it!

[@jonsmyth86]

Lovely looking venue and fish to match. Nice to see a video that isn't an advert for fancy tackle or gimmicks. Bread basket rod rest, awesome! How do you tend to use hemp though as an old school bait or is it for loose feed?

[@TAFishing]

jonsmyth I use it more as a feed attractant in groundbait.

[@YakMotley]

Awesome video!

[@TheGamingGoldMine]

was down at shorne country park (near gravesend) on saturday caught a 2 pound roach like you! Plus have any of you guys ever caught a common carp with a lump in the side? as i caught one of saturday only 4 pounds.

[@DCTurza]

Graeme, thank you for your no-nonsense, back to basics approach in your videos! Would you please recommend a decent carping rod for a fixed spool reel that won't break my wallet? I live in the US and most of the rods I see are geared towards largemouth bass, 6 foot average and usually for bait-caster reels. We are SO far behind when it comes to good carping gear, and general appreciation for the species, but thanks to guys like you, the word is getting out. Good Fishing!

[@tobymakepeace5300]

try amozon

[@DCTurza]

Thanks for that tip, but was hoping for some specifics to look for, a brand, specific size or type! Tight lines!

Living proof that catching Crucian Carp turns your hair purple. Suits me...Im a bald old bastard. 😂 Cheers Graeme

[@RuachEden]

Crucians are one of our most beautiful fish. I also mourn their decline in our waters

[@TAFishing]

Not too many places to catch them now. Pushed out by the bigger Carp I guess.

[@cainrandall89]

Hi, Err.. Im not sure if you take requests for new videos or anything but I'm just starting to get into river pikeing and perch fishing, I was wondering if you could do a small guide on like some suitble cheap useable rods and reels for beginners... Ive look around but there no guide out there that has any real good points about it all! If you could do this for me it would really help out and I would appreciate it very much. I'm only 15 and I'm a carp angler but I'm wanting to try some diffrent methods of fishing so anything would be great. Much thanks Cain.

[@JEMHull-gf9el]

lovely flapping flappers of fish

[@sean54mc28]

Tough fish to catch, I have always done well on lakes, opposite side to the wind blowing, so the undertow is at my end, while everyone else fish's into the wind. But only ever got mine like yourself on the delicate lift bites on the pole, very shy creature

[@dmdeetv7045]

Where about in England do you fish?

[@sebchada3770]

Have you guys Been fishing in Australia before

[@Hoverbot1TV]

Canadian geese in that pond LOL!

[@bramhermans2422]

Whats the name of the song in the begin please?

[@nathan-cp3od]

you got the same fishing rod as me but my's clearner

[@neilmurphy1927]

Hi taf when I get fizzing/bubbles I always move away from the area as it's mostly the gases from the bottom being disturbed an you get a lot of missed bites foul hookers as the swim becomes. Cloudy an hectic

[@tst698]

Neil Murphy fizzing bubbles are usually a sign of feeding tench

[@alanmonger1892]

You should go and fish at Chichester lakeside holiday park

[@gingerbiker364]

You should do courses fishing set up are tips

[@agnesluke3534]

I love you,love this apps.ok fisher men

[@strikecast6847]

from 0:00 to 0:32 what's song name?

[@kathymcloughlin5340]

I am going to anglers pardice wgat bait will I get for the catfish

[@TAFishing]

+Kathy Mcloughlin Try luncheon meat.

[@user-wt4jd5pq2b]

In canals better bait is maggots or earth worm?

[@TAFishing]

Both can work equally well...Probably earth worms if it is slightly coloured.

[@vladburca1297]

Fun fact, in Romania you can actually buy those as baitfish :)

[@tst698]

If you want to catch some truly massive Crucians try fishing marsh farm fishery in Godalming, Surrey. These set of lakes are stocked with tench and Crucian carp. The Crucians go to 4lb 10 (the British record) if you do go fish Harris lake for the bigger specimens in this lake they average 2lb + in johnsons the members lake they average 3 lb. 8o.z + with a four pound specimen easily possible.

[@TAFishing]

Know about it,but I didn't think it was a day ticket ? Thought it was club only ?

[@mamesan2010]

I am a japanes crucian carp fisherman. Thank you for making good movies on KZbin all the time.

[@jackwolcott6419]

Do you have to have a fishing license in the uk

[@GavinMorris1]

Smitbar is dead right. I think they're £28 ($35) for the year. They're needed on rivers, canals and non-private open waters. The money goes into the EA, which has worked well.

[@geoffsaunderson5766]

Hi mate, you don't have to spend 28 quid in one hit, you can get a day license for 3.50

[@olliehaines8262]

Only if your over 16

[@alexrees9508]

Get the beach quest out 😊

[@TAFishing]

***** Did three new ,back-to-back Beach Quest films just this week.Exhausted !!!Miles over boulders and cliffs lugging tackle ,tripods and camera gear.But great new footage.Keep watching.

[@Jessebella1]

Can put more in but cant take it out has been a saying since the 60s lol Always nice to remind youngsters of this though, see so many throwing far to much in and ruining their chances

[@dansharpie]

Hi Graeme Is it gossip or are you still after catching a Thresher shark from the shore?

[@TAFishing]

dan katla sharpe No,not the Thresher,they run offshore.Porbeagle and Sixgill sharks are what I would like off the shore.Already had Lemons to about 150 off the shore inj Florida.Have also tried Blue shark in the Isles of Scilly.No luck yet though.

[@dansharpie]

InTheNameOfJustice have a look at BlacktipH this channel is like TAfishing all about the total experience of fishing not the usual ego builders or tackle tarts. Thanks Graeme your our funny fishing youtube grandad !!!!!!!!!

[@user-mw1tx7eb4p]

Are the silvery ones Gibel carp maybe?

[@GeertPolo]

In Holland we call them giebel

[@user-mw1tx7eb4p]

G33 RT Daarom dacht ik het ook haha :)

[@jasonrenshaw9010]

enjoyable video and proper fishing for me. one point though, and this is not directed at Graeme in anyway, but why is it acceptable to use nets in a match but not for pleasure, when even the shop guy himself said no harm came to the fish for being in the net. A pleasure angler is more than likely not to get as many fish in his net as a top matchman is - seems odd rules to me. nice video, lovely fish.

[@rickalan21]

Jason Renshaw Because matches are on average once every week to two weeks, so you can imagine if every angler on a daily basis used keep nets the fish would be at a higher risk to taking damage not to mention not all anglers are used to using keep nets and have the correct knowledge of how to handle fish when using one. Hope this helped

[@TAFishing]

Jason Renshaw It is curious,as I hardly ever use a net now.Years ago I had up to 300lb of Irish bream in two huge keepnets when writing articles.It was just the way it was back then.Changed now,but you are right.Why OK for match anglers ? I did think about it myself at the time.But the modern carp keepnets are much more fish friendly.Personally I always hated lugging a water soaked keepnet about.

[@jasonrenshaw9010]

***** you say that matches are every week to two weeks, fair enough, but then most anglers who work only get to go at weekends which is the same as every week to two weeks surely? Don't get me wrong, I can't remember the last time that I used a keepnet so it is not that I want to - it just seemed a bit off an odd thing to say.

[@rickalan21]

You are just thinking about yourself in this scenario, lots and lots of people go fishing mid week i have days off work mid week so believe me i have seen some fisheries full throughout the week.

[@rickalan21]

True but that's the nature of the beast. I find it would be unnecessary to use them in a pleasure session.

[@XzzVttll]

we have here only silver ones, gold ones are maybe 0,1% rare here

[@simonb2268]

What is the venue?

[@TAFishing]

simon berus I do believe its in the film.Old Bury Hill fishery.Milton Lake ?

[@LightYerPipe]

Japanese white crucians? Very unusual.

[@richieremo1]

[@MrChivers123]

Spot those crucians...or any other fish!!!! We remember.
