[@greenseb71]

Hi went fishing this week caught 17 carp and 4 tench within 5 hours using some totally awesome tips.

[@vexxy9430]

greenseb71 they must’ve been baby’s

[@johnhanson8442]

Yes used to use mussels if we could find them back in the 60s brought back great memories of pre baiting and when you fished you hoped it had work and bring fish in to the swim..Used to leave a note that it had been pre baited and could you leave it for the next 2 days and fishermen then used to be respectful

[@ItsJakeTheBrake]

anyone who saw you throwing a rake into the lake must think you're crazy! Nice video as always.

[@richxyz688]

Graeme, try sliding the plumbing lead (or any bomb) onto your line and tying the float directly to the end. Cast out, tighten the float down to the lead, then let it out 1ft-2ft at a time (I've got a mark on my rod at 50cm) until the float appears. Now, not only have you got the depth but you can tighten up to the lead again, reel in a couple of yards and repeat the process. Saves you lots of casting, you get a swim plumbed in no time. I use a pike float and 2 oz lead to get out really far. It also doubles up as a marker. Good videos, keep it up, I enjoy watching :)

[@colinbradford8126]

Hi Graham 👋, that is the place my granddad took me when I was 12 years old. As usual great video. I think you are right about the old closed season, all the best and keep them coming m8 from colin bradford in Milton Keynes.

[@user-dw8oy4oi7v]

Hello Graham I am with you the old closed season was great me and my mate were sorting stuff out the second week of may happy memories

[@alanboyd2953]

have watched you for ages your knowledge is briillant! alan from ireland

[@bradleyclarke4432]

Another great tip on the glorious 15th of June the weather used to get pretty hot down here in the S.West. Simply freeze your favourite wooly fishin hat and store in your cooler box with your bran and sweetcorn. No more sweaty head.

[@fredbloggs8362]

Remember the Kenny Everett Video Show, now that was some saucy content.

[@Zombie-fb5zf]

Such a helpful Video for a beginner 👍🏻

[@1989Brumo]

Great episode! I always use a carp rig with shrink tube and 1 pop up mais, to fish over the groundbait. Worked really good this year for me.

[@ThermalCowboy]

Subscribed! Fantastic videos Graeme!!! Reminds me of back when I was a kid carp fishing all summer at Joe Pool Lake...used mostly sweet corn. Once I moved to the coast I never turned back.

[@TAFishing]

Thanks, glad you like the video

[@biggavin88]

great video,being relativly new to the sport i have picked up a few tips here,especially with how you plummed the depth with the way you set the float! love your show,keep it up!

[@catapultandhuntingdublin2342]

[@Sira1973]

Gosh thats going back some years the close season. I remember that it was good for both the fish and landscape also gave them a chance to breed and settle down. Personally we should bring it back.

[@zabdizelaya2614]

[@theoutdoorguy2098]

[@SAINTSFCTV]

[@dannyfishinguk7798]

GREAT VID lol rapid fire

[@james6495]

I see the luggage handle banksticks made an appearance lol

[@alexgodwin4462]

Hi great video:). would this feed be useful on a river in wich there's mainly big perch and lots shoals of Roach its a small hardly flowin river about 13ft width so would this be okay for Perch if i added more worms , maggots prawns and mashed up fish. i will also be targeting roach and would just use everythig graeme uses

[@joshuagolding359]

Alex Godwin it would work but not as well

[@thebobs8845]

Do we not still have a closed season in the UK from March til June? I thought we did lol

[@TAFishing]

Rivers and I think some canals. Check the rules lol

[@thesykotikone]

Left over bacon?? WHY??

[@thediligentdungbeetle8116]

Or how

[@all-roundanglermurphy748]

[@TAFishing]

+all-round angler murphy Yeh definitely! We use it!

[@all-roundanglermurphy748]

[@apple1999207]

Hi Graeme, just wanting to know. Will your groundbait work well on the canal as well as on lakes. Thanks, Aaron.

[@TAFishing]

aaron derbyshire Hi Aaron, yes it has worked well on canals for us.

[@dalesevern1047]

I love thes show would be a plesher to fish with uou.

[@HypeDex]

Hey. I'm new to fishing. I only started in the Easter of 2014. I've been watching a lot of your videos since. I go to my local reservoir which holds Carp and roach but for some reason I can't catch anything. I don't know if it's my rig or what. When your fishing rods were on the bite alarms, is your drag set loose or tight? Or could you please do a video on how to catch carp the basic way. Thanks :D

[@ItsJakeTheBrake]

what rig are you using? Imho the easiest way to catch carp and roach, for a beginner, is float fishing, because you're able to immediately spot the bite, although you should be aiming at catching roach first since playing a big carp on a matchrod can be bit tricky. Plum the depth and set your basic float rig to sit just over the bottom, throw in some groundbait and you should be getting bites. For roach you can also try fishing a bit more shallow. On sunny days I catch loads of roach about 20cm under the surface.

[@surrendernixcodcomms7373]

can you do a lure fishing video, all about tips, what to use, where to case ect, been fishing at a river the past few days, all 10 fish (6 pike, 5 perch) took the bait about 1-2 metres out, nothing at all in the middle of the river, they ranged from 1lb - 10lb 2 ounce

[@ItsJakeTheBrake]

well unlike what most people think, most fish stay close to the bank. Thats where most microorganism are, which attract smaller fish, which in turn attract the predators. But for pike you might also want to try and find weed cover, which can be in the middle of the lake/river. Pike tend to hide in weeds and ambush their prey. Perch are nomads and move around a lot chasing their prey, but usually they can also be found in places with cover, like overhanging trees, lillies etc.

[@jerryjos8257]

thanks for showing me difference way to fish a spot if I am on holiday in England would you mind going fishing for carp or what ever bitten thanks jerry jones

[@unionse7en]

if the water hass mussels ...do they make good bait for that water?

[@TAFishing]

If you mean Swan mussels,yes,we have used therm for bait years ago.Particularly good for Tench

[@colmfitzpatrick6503]

Do you use any NGT rods or reels? Are they robust

[@TAFishing]

+Colm Fitzpatrick No haven't used their rods or reels I'm afraid

[@alistairwilkins6679]

where do you buy bran and feed like that . do you know anywhere near eversley/yateley to buy it ??

[@TAFishing]

+Alistair Wilkins I get mine from an animal feed wholesale farm in Ewshot,near Crondall,Hants.Does loads of other animal feeds that can double as cheap freshwater baits or feed as well. Don't know the name,but its at the bottom of Beacon Hill.

[@Robonthemoor]

plains""" pick a better location next time I fish at quiet that did my head in. regards Grumps. ;))

[@colmfitzpatrick6503]

Do you ever use NGT GEAR? Not sure if I should buy it

[@TAFishing]

+Colm Fitzpatrick Hi, I use one of their bivvy's and a few of their fake bait range, seems ok to me - Mike

[@chrisfalcon9804]

NGT are good, affordable products I use many of their products. Good products.

[@thediligentdungbeetle8116]

Is there anything I can use if I can't get a hold of bran or horse feed

[@cykr0s]

There are tons of things you can use, but outside of bulk feeds, the price point tends to step up pretty sharply, as you get into products sold for human consumption. Oatmeal, soy, beans (cooked), feed corn, crushed up cereal... They don't call carps water pigs for nothing; they eat almost anything.

[@filiphugo7967]

you are totally awesome fisherman from britain and Iam totally nooby slovakia carp fisherman I would love to go one day fishing with you so you can show me like what techincs you use on rivers are some small lakes

[@rivalsniperclan6596]

Hi just want to ask can I catch big carp just by float fishing

[@TAFishing]

Rival Sniper clan Yes,absolutely,but if you have the right tackle and good line

[@james6495]

How long on between baiting sessions Graeme?

[@TAFishing]

For Tench we reckoned every couple of days. Depends if you see a lot of activity in the baited area,bubbles etc.

[@james6495]

@@TAFishing would it be the same for carp?

[@bradleyclarke4432]

As for sweetcorn why not use garden peas instead, then hide in your bivvy with one and pretend to be a giant eating an apple?

[@TheWesterndevon]

Instead of recasting several times adjusting a float with a plummet why not just use a use a small marker float setup?

[@SWINDLA87]

Those planes would drive you insane!

[@shelbyoneconobie2]

This should be called how to over-bait a swim then move to try and catch a fish , , , Graeme does have some good ideas but this in my opinion is over feeding would be good if youre going to sit in the swim for a week but not good if doing just a day, still a good mix just no need to use as much even on a hungry lake. good luck tight lines.

[@DonOneBryson]

You obviously didn't watch the video or see his full explanation. This is how your draw fish to a swim during the old off season. This is not what you do when you're coming to a fishery and fishing one day. You're talking shit about a man who has published books on fishing, what have you done?

[@DonOneBryson]

What this does is causes fishes to stick in one area, expecting to be fed. Then you come in the next day and catch.

[@finleyfin346]

Why not just use a marker float to check the depth saves plenty of time

[@bradleysims5306]

What is this lake called

[@thediligentdungbeetle8116]

How could I feed luncheon meat

[@XPAULEYDX]

Im getting very irritated I am in a tiny pond fishing for carp its probably 100 yards by 30 yards and I watch carp swim by but i can't catch them on corn, mashed bread, worms Ive tryed everything and nobody else fishes there except me so I dnt know any more

[@TAFishing]

Have you tried floating bread crust?

[@XPAULEYDX]

TAFishing No but I will try that thankyou for the tips, by the way love your channel.

[@DavesInHisGarage]

Wait did you say leftover bacon……… no such thing and if you was to do such a thing you should be flogged in the centre of town lol

[@ericdegrave6443]

20 kilos = 12 pounds? What math are you using? J/K. Cheers from USA. Wish we had the metric system. Pounds, ounces, grams, tablespoons, quarts, pints, THEY NEED CONVERSIONS. Liters, meters, just need simple math.

[@TAFishing]

It cost £12 for 20 kilos, not weighed 12lbs

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

hahahaha lol
