Lure fishing tips for Pollock - Totally Awesome Fishing Show

Lure fishing for Pollack is a Totally Awesome Fishing Show production packed with beginners tips for lure fishing. Graeme & Mike Pullen travel to Courtmacsherry in Southern Ireland to try their fishing skills in a 16 -foot open boat. They head out to the open Atlantic armed only with a box of lures and some ultra-light spinning rods. Target species is the hard fighting Pollack, and their different lures and techniques create mayhem in the fish population as they catch fish after fish. This light tackle fishing appeals to many anglers as you don't need a lot of expensive tackle. Often you can make use of whatever you have. The area is a fisherman's paradise, where you can nearly always get to find somewhere to fish. Mark Gannon's self-drive hire boats are ideal for this type of fishing and you get to become "Captain for the day". Courtmacsherry is about an hours drive from the ferry port of Rosslare and the Stena Lines ferry crossing can get you into fishguard in wales in around 3 hours. It's a trip worth taking! - AWESOME!

The trusty Redgill Lure ❤ I can't believe this was 10yrs ago already!

[@AK-ru3sg]

A pleasure to see how good you are when putting the fish back.

[@robb5331]

I have to praise you for your videos. Rather than just being 'look at me' catching fish they are educational whether you are a beginner or more experienced and full marks for that. Rob.

[@John_Smith__]

[@DomFishingUK]

[@paulfitzpatrick8470]

I caught a seagull once it was a bugger to fillet 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@fabiolovatt7865]

I use the same LRF rod mike has for mackerel, pollack, bass, and wrasse, the best fights you will ever have. Great fun. Love the vid, you should try for some wrasse next time.

[@Deadleg]

Another amazing video, bars of gold.

[@mrbtboydify]

That was bloody brilliant again just love TAF

[@lassehahn1794]

Nice work. I just remember the great pollock fishing I had in Norway. We had Pollocks up to 11 Pounds on spinning rods with 7 gramms casting weight :))

[@garbennett4758]

Love the show guys!! Ive learned so much..Going out to try for a few Pollock tomorrow....Keep up the good work!

[@jessevela6720]

I really enjoy your videos. I learn a lot from them.

[@TAFishing]

We will do soon, we will be doing some river fishing, just waiting for the river levels to improve a bit

[@savemejebis]

Great video as always. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I will look forward to putting it into practice.

[@vaporiser99]

[@jackm942]

[@jo99ipro]

Love your video really informing and entertaining

[@scottfrench99]

good fishing guys. well done

[@fishermangamer15]

funny how you guys put this video up the day I come home from holiday from catching 1 Pollock aha. could have done with the tips a week earlier but still great vids as usual :)

[@danielcorness961]

Loved this video, thx for sharing guys:)

[@nicholaskemp2246]

Tip for you maestro. Use string when showing us plebs in your "how to tie knots vids". We can see it a lot easier on our little clever phone screens then! 😂 😂

[@madmullet1990]

australians need to learn from you iv never seen people use whire booms. good job keep it up.

[@TAFishing]

Left on the mooring.Too far to tow to Ireland,the small self-drives are ideal for this type of fishing.Just jump out the car walk to the boat,load up and go.Perfect.No worries about towing/.launching/retrieve,bearing seize,blowout,loose straps etc.

[@hobocan22]

awesome fishing guys!

[@mikeyfelley]

Thanks for getting back to me lads, I'm not on Facebook but I'm sure i can sort something out. Cheers

[@TAFishing]

That's ok Michael, if you go onto our website homepage (link is in the video description) there is a "subscribe to us by email" box on the right hand side of the homepage. If you put your email in there you will receive updates from us that way.

[@MegaFlyinggoose]

It beats me how Mike can remain so calm with a nutter like you Graeme lol , seriously though you make a great pair putting out some great videos; keep the tips coming all the best Mike.

[@conga7754]

17:16 think you caught a shot of a basking shark,,,,.......have a look see what you think..great vids graham keep it up

[@BarryBollox.]

Ay well its defiantly something. To the right of the boat about 100 yards out at a wild guess ? Fin breaking above the water.

[@ThePavey1]

brilliant, when are the bbc going to give you a saterday morning show graham pullen is a genius

[@TAFishing]

You need the lead to get down in deeper water/stronger tides/faster drifts etc.Might be 2 ounces,could be up to 1 lb if you are over a deepwater wreck in a wind and spring tide.

[@zoffinger]

I'm sitting here with 30 seagulls and we're all enjoying your videos!

[@sgtpavlov]

nice fishing

[@MrRyanhooper]

great fishing their hope to be going out monday to the manicles off falmouth had a 15,9 pollock just off them on a whole squid

[@chriswood7165]

Top man keep up the vids pal.

[@RoryAtkinson]

I found a place in Kerry (Ireland/where I live) and its a bridge, drop any lure down and you catch 1 pounder pollock all day (they ain't the biggest but it's fun). caught around 50 in two days in the spot, which is very public!!

[@klaivert-erikmoores2591]

very good video once again :D good job keep it up

[@lakingsboi]

That seagull is a loyal fan

[@MrNinted]

LIFE-JACKETS! I love your stuff but in a boat this size everyone should have a life-jacket on.

[@TAFishing]

You need to check with another regular there as it all depends on size of bait you are using and size of fish.I would have thought about 4/0 would be big enough.Don't pull them too hard,especially as you try to haul them through the last of the surf.It can open the hook.Let any fish wash up with each wave,don't try to hold it if the wave sucks it back.Good luck with them,sounds as though you are having success

[@TAFishing]

That's a big reef pollack.I've fished the Manacles quite a bit but found it tough to crack into double figures.That's a nice fish,but watch out for the Mako sharks there !!

[@joedodd8219]

I saw the Blackwell tart 20:00 but another great vid

[@gblindism]

Awesome :-)

[@mikeyfelley]

well done guys another great video, I'm surprised at you going for light gear I always think you need heavy for sea fishing just goes to show what I know

[@mattdraper1388]

i love pollock fishing haha you need to come to ilfracombe on the charter boat i work on from ilfracombe with bristol channel charters!

[@kenbobca]

I want to go fishing with you and Mike. I really enjoy all of your videos. Your Fan, Ken from Bakersfield, CA USA

[@TAFishing]

Thanks Ken!

[@TAFishing]

All the lures come packaged with the hooks,or are molded into the head of the lure.Unless you mean the plastic worms ? 2/0 to 4/0 I guess is average.

[@tomharries847]

awesome show. i have learnt so much from your channel. but please, everyone on deck needs to wear a life jacket. doesnt matter how good a swimmer you are. one accident can turn out alot worse or god forbid fatal.

[@leprosysucks]

im up in northern norway and i dont know if they grow faster up here but the ones i catch under 2.5kg/6lb still have a more silver colour and its just the big ones who have that beautiful gold shimmer. my biggest caught so far from the dock into the deepest stretch of the fjord was 4.4kg or nearly 10lb it was a really nice fight on my light gear, so are the cod but i need to invest in some heavy gear as i have lost a few lures and a lot of line to halibut the last few weeks and still have not managed to bring one in.

[@thunderchild9251]

so did you build that yellow boat yourself? if so its pretty cool. you should do some boat owner tips. great vids btw. enjoyed them all! keep it up

[@adydearden5657]

cool vid

[@stephen88hox]

come to northern ireland!!!we got some great fishing also

[@davidmckeone6029]

Graeme if you ever want to do some good coarse fishing in lake virginia in co.meath or west meath i forget which one but there are some good fish there just in case your in the area

[@reecepope1607]

be interesting to see a setup and catchrate in the deeper waters in the wrecks

[@TAFishing]

Already done and in the edit suite.

[@bogdanperzanowski6279]

rock & roll

[@rc2100]

Iam fishing loch long soon for pollock and was wondering what bait you think would work best frozen sand eels or frozen lug worm? Great videos keep them coming.

[@TAFishing]

No idea as I've never fished there before, but my own choice would be frozen sandeel. Make sure it is hanging straight and not bent if you are retrieving it.

[@LoyalGers]

Do you need to use a weight? Why not just tie the mainline directly to the metal loop on the lure and fish it vertically, keeping in contact with the lure?

[@lil_vux_barnacle_gang8858]

ohh yayyyyyyy

[@HampshireAnglingTV]

Nice one Graeme, love ireland, as I always say ahahhaa! Love pollock they fight so hard, as do coal fish, maybe harder, would you agree? Tom

[@bertythemod]

one question....how often do you 're cover your pool table? because it gets a pasting from hooks and weights 😂

[@TAFishing]

+Andy Ward You are so right.Its truly shocking.We use it as a workbench .I rarely get my balls on the table now !!! If you know what I mean !!

[@mikeyfelley]

another great video lads keep up the good work. graham I noticed you done a couple of videos with questions from the viewers. where can I ask a question

[@TAFishing]

Hi Michael, glad you like the video, if you like us on facebook - Totally Awesome Fishing we will post on there when we will be doing another Q&S video

[@rithrow12]

do more of these videos.

[@TAFishing]

We have done, check out our rock fishing playlist on our channel homepage

[@TheCornSnake99]

ok thanks found them now obviously didnt look hard enough lol thanks

[@Barmy50]

hi. great selection of vids. bit of advice needed. im new to boat sea fishing wats the best rod to use. Many thanks

[@dylanpulley8295]

TA fishing I was wandering will u ever do a video on uk squid fishing, I live in cornwall and was thinking about trying it on a canoe

[@brynmitchell5774]

Hi guys , I think I have watched all your vids now , I have an Orkney long liner and am taking it to the Llyn peninsula next week for its maiden sea voyage , Boys what wind speed would deter you from taking out an 18 ft dinghy, the forecast is between 12 and 25 mph winds , would this put you guys off or would you consider it reasonably safe for inshore fishing ? Any help would be appreciated , I have spent an hour searching u tube for advice and found nothing of use .

[@TAFishing]

I spent about 3 years cancelling trips down Cornwall that gave borderline forecasts,and then the weather turned out great !! I personally don't like going out in anything blowing a force 3 unless they give it dropping. Especially if it is due to deteriorate as that 3 could suddenly go to a 5 and then you have problems.When I did a lot of self drive fishing from rental boats in Florida I would put a limit on going offshore of 10 knots,as the boats were Boston Whaler design,not unlike my own which is a Cathedral hull so will bang in any sort of head sea.You want to enjoy your fishing,not make an endurance test out of it.Watch the isobar forecasts and check out your local weather sites.Ask other small boat users as well.But the main thing is..don't take chances. If in doubt..Leave it out !...You can always take another day.

[@brynmitchell5774]

Thanks very much guys, message received and understood ,think I will take her , but leave her trailered if it's dodgy, I can always go rock hopping with a spinning rod , fantastic show and your time is greatly appreciated.

[@tomwatchorn4699]

you can deffinatly tell you're father and son.. YOURE BOTH BONKERS! (: great vid guys once again!

[@thundercleese]

Instead of a boom, couldn't you rig the lure up like a drop shot rig?

[@harryesteves387]

Great video! Roughly how many feet of water were you in? I fish off a small super dingy in about 30ft of water in the Channel Islands.

[@TAFishing]

Probably 20/30 feet.

[@harryesteves387]

Yep, I found that out now that i finished the video! haha Thanks for the response.

[@JM_IRE]

Are the feathers any good for Pollock ?

[@TAFishing]

Yes when there are lots of Pollack around.Single lures are better for the larger fish.

[@Noname-qk9or]

That favourite lure of yours and Mike's Graeme I think is called either a Pearl or a Bloodhead.

[@Noname-qk9or]

you guys had a pack attack!

[@oliveratkinson1492]

are you going to do some coarse fishing anytime soon?

[@InetaGphotography]

Soo tasty one

[@TAFishing]

Just type Sidewinder Flutter worms into your search engine

[@TheCornSnake99]

Hi were do u get the flutterworms? i looked online but cant find any thanks love the vids :D

[@TheKroniker]

What casting weight are the rods you are using?

[@KiwiFisher01]

haha there were fly rods on the dingy with you!

[@Noname-qk9or]

whats wrong with that mate? You can get some insanely good sport on Fly rods mate, with Wrasse, Mullet, Pollack, Bass and even Mackerel and Garfish!

[@KiwiFisher01]

Yeah I'm sure you can, I don't remember this comment but yeah sea fishing with flies is good fun

[@Noname-qk9or]

Kiwi Fisher I haven't tried it yet tbh! might do next summer down the south coast of devon!

[@KiwiFisher01]

good luck, sinking line and big shiny streamer wetflies, and popper (surface) wetflies

[@sypinbrd3]

Where are you I cant find where you say it

[@TAFishing]

Unpriceable !!!!! Get out there and check skips and bins at tackle shops.Amazing what they throw out.You can build 6 ft spinning rods for next to nothing if you scout out all the rings/fittings,rod sections.Worth asking anyway.If its busted they generally just store it.

[@ozzie7000]

What size lure do you news

[@roryobrien4772]

what size hooks would you recommend ?

[@jamesmc6825]

What seems to be the best lure and best colour for Pollack?

[@masterblob7196]

Personally, I use black or orange sidewinder lures but red eddystone eel lures are also deadly, but they have to be weighted down. With spinners, I find that a plink followed by a toby lure at a steady retrieve works best, close to the bottom. Hope this helped.

[@Noname-qk9or]

They love Rhubarb and Custard sidewiner lures mate, which is yellow and red.

[@joedodd8219]

Have u ever been to viaduct fishery in Somerset

[@Dsdoy1]

Can you use rag worm on the boom

[@TAFishing]

yes, but retrieve it very slowly, or let it hang just off the sea bed by about ten feet.

[@Karateman0304]

Can you guys do a video on rock fishing ?

[@themostawesomedudeev]

At the starting part

[@itlogpugo6122]

What is that reel that young mans using at 14:50?

[@TAFishing]

Probably an old out of production Shimano

[@ibnupashapapadimitriou9205]

does the colour of the line affect the fishing? thx

[@TAFishing]

Ibnu Pasha Papadimitriou I don't think so when sea fishing.But using a clear trace near the hook must be better for visual feeders in clear water.

[@ibnupashapapadimitriou9205]

TAFishing thank you very much

[@ethanevans773]

+TAFishing can you use the artificial wormes on wrecks???

[@TAFishing]

Grim reaper Gaming Yes you can, but better to use a paddle tail soft plastic. Hit the bottom with the lead, wind up slowly and hopefully you get a take!

[@saskaleb]

what was the line strain??

[@matschapman6258]

whats the depth?

[@thunderchild9251]

WHERES THE YELLOW BOAT ?

[@donaldlumbert4827]

HOW CAN A GUY I THE USA GET ONE OFYOUR HATS AND SHIRT
