How to make groundbait, cheap & easy - The Totally Awesome Fishing Show

[@TAFishing]

Thanks for the plaudits. We still need help with spreading the word. Fished a lake recently and as a survey not ONE angler had heard about us. They were furious that the angling press never gave us coverage so they could know what we did, and couldn't believe our "Awesome Army" following of huge numbers. One guy started watching our shows on his phone and missed 3 bites ! He was so happy to have found them, so keep spreading the word.

[@SkeletonGuts45]

Back here currently taking notes. You're the best, graeme.

[@lewisbancroft3171]

Graeme you are an absolute legend, making my way through all of your videos and I will be sure to recommend you to any anglers I meet when I am out and about! Truly AWESOME content!

[@ThePaulo58]

Brilliant shows Graeme. I love fishing and have become addicted to your videos. Amusing, informative and showing how fishing can be really enjoyable without complicated rigs and carting loads of stuff around. Congratulations to you and your son. Keep up the good work!

[@TAFishing]

That bread was harder than a doorman at a night club !!

[@rumenstoynev3888]

If you forget to yoink the ground bait out of the fridge have no worries I got you covered ( slap it in a bucket of water in a bout 1-2 hours should be g2g ) We used to use this when we run out of non frozen food in the restaurant if it works for chicken meat trust me it works for ground bait :) . If you can heat up the water that'd be even better :)

[@pynthymmepale]

😂😂😂😂

[@ItzJigz187]

anybody wanting to moan at the videos should understand Graeme knows more about fishing then most, so enjoy the fact he puts as much effort into making his videos too!

[@rayfinch5287]

Yes I totally respect that and I'm sure he's a lovely guy but why all the soppy silly talk/actions?? WHY?????? totally no call for it, he's just making a twat of himself, its also NOT in the slightest funny in fact its blood annoying.....

[@p2g1949]

The best teachers are entertaining​. They keep your attention while you learn.

[@rayfinch5287]

Can I take this opportunity to apologise as to my previous comment on this video, let me explain, I have only a few weeks ago taken up fishing as now retired, I went and got myself kitted out, ok home I came and took to KZbin to learn, the first video I came across was this one, I thought my god whats this bloke all about (hence my comment) my god, I am now addicted to his awesome fantastic videos to the point I now search for them, Greame is an inspiration to the sport and I have learnt so much in such a short space of time watching his videos. Graeme THANK YOU SO MUCH and please please please do except my apologies?? I am local to you as well (Epsom) so may at some point bump into you. Thank you again Graeme Regards Ray

[@samobviously1770]

p2g1949 thats only applicable when teaching something uninteresting, nobody is here because they arent into fishing.. which is why we dont need to see all the other unfunny nonsense. Its not entertaining its tedious.

[@Coarseangler-h1o]

glad you learnt something. Graham is a ledgend. Nothing like a lot of toss pots trying to sell you something

[@benweyer1952]

Started fishing a few weeks ago and just made my first batch up of this totally awesome groundbait! Can't wait to go and try it out. Cheers Graeme!

[@TAFishing]

Awesome! good luck!

[@-haden-407]

the effort he goes through to make his videos amazing

[@SWINDLA87]

Haha , what a personality! He cracks me up ! Discovery channel should've nabbed Graeme Pullen years ago.

[@paulblissett1674]

It is the best channel and mainly I would say because of you and the way you passionately explain things but in a normal down to earth relatable way. Superb viewing 👌

[@andrewjones2328]

Its the covid 19 lockdown and I've just discovered the twatapult brilliant 🤣😂🤣😂

[@samuelsandor6531]

🤣🤣

[@mr.airgun6921]

Funniest thing about these videos is the thought of Graeme’s wife sipping a cuppa as she watches out the kitchen window thinking ‘what the hell’s he doing now!’ Keep up the good work, I’ve been binge watching for ages.

[@rallekralle11]

this is probably my favourite video on this channel, because it's both a really good tutorial, and just plain silly.

[@Blackbearddad]

Mr pullen can i say im a sea fisherman of 27years and fish the south east kent coast.. Recent months i have had a go at freshwater.. Ive learnt all my freshwater fishing tips n tactics from ur videos... Without your videos i wouldnt have a clue where to start... Great work from u and your son.. Thanks Craig

[@andywoodbury2539]

I may only just be seeing this now but Graeme you have me in stitches so comical and at the very same time very very educational. who knew it's was called pin mould I just thought it was mould. WHO KNEW. THANKS BIG G.

[@jamesgray5873]

Love watching this bloke knows his stuff about fishing and bait yet always has a laugh doing it....Top video from a top bloke

[@franzmordhiem670]

i hve forwarded the link to this post more times than i can remember...saves a fortune on groundbait..thanks

[@p2g1949]

Graeme, if your going to play American style baseball, the bases are not that far apart, lol. You have to love this guy! Another great & enjoyable video. Keep them coming and thanks for sharing.

[@terryjacob8169]

The best groundbait tip I've picked up from Graeme is his use of a mix of Bailey's No.1 Horse Feed and wheat bran. Works really well for me for Bream, Carp, and Tench. Mixed with dried blood it also works well as a Pike attractant.

[@getoutmore7510]

Watched this once before, now nearly 5 years on and this a method I still stand by 100% keep it up graham 👍🦈

[@antoniocorvalan7151]

The best fishing channel around

[@ridersunderground3995]

Thanks for the help ive just started fishing.

[@nicholasnickson7254]

Wife watching over my shoulder says "who's the comedian, does he have other shows ? "

[@japaneseey]

brilliant! you and mike really are ambassadors for our sport!

[@christophervarley2561]

what a great guy, hes got more energy then a young lad. he so is a young lad at heart. i fish crum alot with a additive. for bream carp tench even down to small winter roach when match fishing is hard. was a great video and what a pleasure to see a guy having so much fun. top respect to him. as far as TV goes this guy needs his own channel. my dad was watching also and we was both giggeling, not at him but with him. the video was a pleasure and his advise is alot better then what some might think. very smart guy and all could learn alot and save money and get a better catch. it this video theres more then just a ground bait tip. free baits were to buy, etc etc. good luck on all your ideos. ive noticed your useing peas and ptatoes in other videos and they also work. Potatoes are a great bait for carp along with baked beans chick peas and alot of things anglers may not try but rearly work and gives a great edge on other anglers plus saving you alot of money. God bless you mate your a great guy

[@danieliddon6729]

Just started fishing and got to say I think your videos are fantastic keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TAFishing]

Daniel Iddon Awesome! We hope you have some great fishing experiences - Welcome to the Awesome Army ;)

[@danieliddon6729]

TAFishing thank you. Hope to see some more great vids soon

[@TAFishing]

Daniel Iddon Every friday at 7pm GMT!

[@danieliddon6729]

TAFishing I'll be watching and recommending!!!!

[@TAFishing]

The Porridge Oats is just a sort of binding agent. On its own its gluey. You don't need much. The important thing is to get a small handful in every other trot down with the float. Bigger fish like chub will start mopping it up. I have to be honest I use it more in the winter when the flow is starting to pick up.

[@possys2]

i remember watching this when it first came out, went to the local farm and got a sack of bran... today it popped up in my recommends!

[@Saiohleet]

He might seam like a crazy old man, but hes right, and an awesome fisherman, years of experience. Nice to see he hasn't lost is "mood". I been using bread for base ground bait with catle feed and chicken rations for years too. You can use "powder" corn, cereals, so much stuff honestly.

[@petertallowin6406]

I have just discovered your channel and I would like to say thank you for the time and effort you put into making your totally awesome content. :)

[@onthethrottletv5855]

Great videos! so much more interactive and user friendly than the guys just ramming their sponsors expensive kit down out necks! Will this work on carp?

[@TAFishing]

Sweeney367 Absolutely.Especially in the summer and autumn periods when water is warm and they come in close to the banks.

[@alexowen8576]

Tried and tested. Bagged up, never had a day like it.

[@tassosmanolas5344]

Tasos Manolas from Greece.Dear Graeme .i love the way you teach us about how we can go for fishing .I am a new aggler in sea fishing..Thank you again.

[@ExTAzY101]

Learning a lot from your channel , keep it up and thanks for making these videos.

[@madmullet1990]

when you cut that bread with the power tool I laughed so hard my eyes watered

[@rosscojondoe499]

Thank you always a winner for cheap bits. Your personality is great what a top guy you are!! Thank you for the videos.

[@DaveThomaschefinski]

Just getting back into fishing ,great videos best ive seen on you tube for tips etc ,cheers fellas.

[@Fair.exe.02]

Best. Show. Ever.

[@swissguy101]

Thanks guys

[@newsmonger77]

The first groundbait I ever bought as a kid in the eary 1960s was a product called Spratts silvercloud. It came in a small hessian sack if I remember. You used to soak the whole sack in water and then squeeze most of the water out and it was then ready to use. Anyone else old enough to remember it?

[@philgale1752]

Any fine mesh bag would work . Allows easy soaking and contains the bread as you knead and squash as much as you want whilst capturing the yeasty water to add to your final mix of ground bait so nothing wasted , nice cloud affect too .

[@aaroncanning7967]

Just been to the local animal feed shop and bought some wheat bran for £7 20kg went to the local supermarket and bought loads of reduced bread for 20p per loaf, made loads of groundbait and filled the freezer up. The wife isnt impressed but i cant thank you enough, this is going to save me a lot of ££££££££££. Thanks Graeme.

[@solidcake3401]

Graeme is the man!

[@TheMattchooo]

i can imagine you would be absolutely hilarious to fish alongside! that 31 minutes literally flew past and i will 100% definitely be making up some of this groundbait. i already bought 1kg of ready oats, so will go and buy a couple of the cheapeast loathes of bread and some bran on the weekend :)

[@res1492]

this guy is nuts..!!!......love it...please tell me you have grand kids....man i would loved to have you as my grandad when i was little

[@antoma6844]

Great groundbait Graeme I've had some amazing results on his mix.superb!

[@joshkuempfel9826]

This is a brilliant ground bait mix I’ve caught a fair few fish on this, another method I like to use is just blending stale bread into crumb and add water at the bank 👌🏻

[@SLHasiancraze]

He is Funny!

[@oPeXps3]

Thanks man will give this a shot over the weekend

[@stevieltiktokshop]

Really enjoyed watching this video "LOL" when i was a kid and match fishing all the time i would use bread, rice and hemp seed was the best ground bait ever and cost me next to nothing at all :-) was my secret for winning matches as a kid

[@jackhanlon9810]

I love you Mr. Pullen you're a character

[@gazlah86]

finally, tried this mix again this morning. better results. :)

[@robertmedzai8163]

Great tips Graeme i use this everytime i fish for silver fish .

[@carphunterbavaria834]

Very useful video Graeme !!!

[@TAFishing]

Some anglers use bread and boiled rice for Black Bream. We use mashed trout for chum on the bream. Did a film aboard Britain's top shark hunting dinghy "Hi Sea Drifter" on Black Bream off Bracklesham Bay just days ago.Will be up in a week or so.Don't know about flatties though, but it does draw in the mullet.

[@davidworsley7969]

This takes me back a bit-Bill Taylor-(Bream Fever etc) but who remembers him now? described just what you showed-it caught fish then and still does-I remember my Mum was none too pleased to find loaves of bread floating in the bath! Still,it was the 60s and I could have been up to worse things!

[@kennyrichardson1836]

He so down to earth guy funny too love

[@TAFishing]

Try sweetcorn, pieces of luncheon meat or maggots. Personally I would use the groundbait as the base and just catapult your loose feed in over the top. Fish early or late at this time of year. Margins ,or features like overhanging bushes are good.

[@50ump45tkd]

Your videos are just great! Keep them coming!

[@felgate11]

Also whack in any old out of date cereal from the back of the cupboard. We had Weetabix & Cocopops etc from the Jurassic period!!

[@oo00xAnathemax00oo]

I like this video! Thumbs-up from me. Nice & Funny man. Thank's a lot for Tips.

[@mikhailtal1566]

I watched couple of videos of you... I think you should start a TV show. You are really awesome Sir. Keep it up.

[@sweepboxerdog]

What a looney tune love him .

[@TAFishing]

1,500lb shark.El Hierro Island. Canary Islands. Over 2 hour battle. Longest of my career. Actually stopped me fishing for a while as I thought there was nothing left to prove. Fortunately it passed and I am right back in the frame catching anything. Heaviest coarse catch if that's what you mean was 303lbs 7ozs if I recall. On floating dog biscuits.

[@melódic_breeze_VIIIV]

Graham I love how in nearly video you call out Smith being a Smith myself taking me back to school 🤣🤣👌

[@nickdunbar2967]

Cheers guv. Done and in the fridge.

[@TAFishing]

That's right.It should break up on impact with the water and then shower down. Covers a larger area than "exploding" packet mixes. No good testing them in a bowl of water as it doesn't cover the throwing and impact with the water surface. Good on commercial day ticket waters where the fish know anything hitting the water means the dinner bell is going. Great for tight margin fishing as well. Plus it can be more fun making your own.

[@alanmahaffy8386]

Funny guy enjoyed within goin to try this out next time I go fishing 👍🏻

[@KayDee247]

Thank you ... !!! Sorted now !!! You are a STAR !!! + I got some FREE bread from my local spar !!! TOP TIP !!! Tip for pike dead baiters & pre-baiters ... Ask at the fish counter at the supermarket when doing your shopping if they have any fish heads that you can have! Trout heads work really well !!!

[@thediligentdungbeetle8116]

Will this attract perch or is it just general coarse fish

[@00Anthonyhughes00]

I'm american. And i love this Show! eve tho I'll never use a £.

[@paulindre4858]

Hi Graeme, I use the very cheapest bags of dry dogfood soaked overnight and wizzed up into a soup with one of those electric wizzy things. Add some bran, flour and old bread, mix well and leave for a few hours. The fish go bonkers for it and the dog food contains high protein which is a sure draw for carp. Mind you I do live in France where the fish have very good taste in food.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Right on man! Right on! I love it!!!

[@mrkmt49gmail]

ps memory lane is a wonderfull place to stroll through at 60 mate how I miss the 60s and 70s I teach autistis kids fishing now but still that first fish hooks the kids line and sinker .don't give up the good work you guys the kids are the futer sorry about the dyslexia ,guys.

[@snailface1981]

love this channel

[@mfbtvladosh]

Hi. What do you think of using a chocolate cake as ground bait ? It's been a while in fridge and it's not safe to eat it. Thanks

[@TAFishing]

For me its going straight into the groundbait bowl. Don't waste anything like that. Stale cakes,buns,bread,the fish eat them all. Don't forget they are made for human consumption so no problem with using them as an attractor.Being chocolate based it might get sticky.Mush it up with some bread

[@Raduldo]

Video is a bit old, so prices might be off in UK. But in my country(BiH) 30kg sack of bran costs around 4 pounds or about $6.

[@TAFishing]

A wicked mix.Sounds like it would attract dogs,Humans and Parakeets....in that order ! Good man.Give everything a try in the supermarket I say.

[@andyoshaughnessy7931]

Very entertaining, cheered me up no end,, Keep up the great work, greetings from "Home of Bran " Wantage 👍👍

[@ockerdom]

Totally Awesome Tips

[@undeserved1781]

quite a buzz glad I found this know a lake that needs to loose lots of grass carp enjoyed video make more

[@leemcgowan2281]

Fantastic and funny, keep up the good work pal!

[@SnaggedOnFish]

Yes you lad! Very knowledgeable you are!

[@TAFishing]

Maybe. But you would have to use less water, less bran and add a bit of plain white groundbait to it.Certainly worth a try, but principally its used to close to medium range fishing/short sessions. I don't have time to "build" a swim using a feeder. I want it straight in the water 6/8 balls, then I fish over the top. Its quicker than just straight feeder fishing. You can use cage feeder to top up.

[@greatorderofchaos]

The Twatapult is superb =)

[@galaxyhero81]

Lol this is more of a comedy show than fishing. Loved the sketch about the French..... Sticks hahaha. Graeme is very funny and good tips... I said tips Smith lol.... This is different to the usual fishing show. Funny and informative.

[@louisscott1063]

don`t know how I`ve missed this one so long Good thing I`ve seen your vid`s or I would think you are crazy. LOVE it

[@LITTLEMANJONEZY]

i did this in the evening and went out in the morning and court a 6lb5oz bream thanks i am going to use it a lot now

[@insideout2600]

Guys class .

[@goofysmick]

Funny but very interesting,great video.

[@doogey9]

Great...thank you...love the videos... have started catching some really nice grass carp after watching your videos...and checking some other web-sites.... caught a 10 pounder yesterday morning using your bread chum/bran suggestions along with baiting my hook with a dough ball mixed with strawberry jam.... :)

[@flix75uk]

Just subscribed and I’m never buying ground bait ever again .... damn I’m going to use it on my method feeder 😮 Many thanks .. great channel 👍

[@orianaspiderowl769]

aww...I love you! humor!! you are fun!

[@tepper82]

this guy is nuts! i wanna go fishing with him!!!!!

[@a.d.s4740]

Man I love your videos, your hilarious 🤣

[@oliverfootball1]

I made a batch up. Had no bran so just used bread, sweetcorn and oats and it's really good sticky bait for under £1

[@SONGSTICKS]

I do like Graeme, he's old school and cuts out all the consumerism crap. The last time I went to a fishing tackle shop I was staggered how much the groundbait, pellets and all the other fancy hook baits of a multitude of flavours cost !! All just bolloney to eek some more money out of us. As soon as we can go fishing again I know of a good local agricultural feed place and I shall be going there for a sack of Bran, also the local bakers :O) Thanks Graeme... Top tip !

[@TAFishing]

The Bakers stale bread/unsold stuff is the way to go..even currant buns,pastries etc,they are sweet and all mush down into groundbait...and,if you can can it free..even better.

[@philipwalton4877]

Love this guy.. wish he was my Grandad

[@PaganRed]

Classic video, what a guy. Some people in the comments seriously have no sense of humour. Top guy been catching monsters before most of us where born.

[@TAFishing]

Humour is a valuable commodity nowadays..I imagine some people will eventually want it banned completely..Same with laughter,jokes,irony,sarcasm anything gives some people a sense of offence.

[@PaganRed]

@@TAFishing i agree, but at least for us who actually really enjoy your content keep it up sir. This was hilarious and educational.

[@masonsales8642]

great video mate i will try this

[@2pikeman]

this guys feckin hilarious, give him a brucie bonus

[@marilynburnell2942]

I Used to use Sausage Rusk from Butchers as a mix for ground bait.
