My Last Fishing Trip here…

[@stuartfurmston9497]

The main lake has sadly been closed off for day tickets and is now private. That is why this is Graham’s last trip.

[@davidkelly1298]

Why are they doing that is what I want to know

[@PoetofHateSpeech]

I'm English but grew up in Australia. I don't understand these private lakes, passes etc. I think it's wrong to have to pay for a spot to fish at

[@chrisburn1365]

​@@davidkelly1298gone syndicate most likely, so all of the "proper carpers" can tug eachother off in private.

[@thisisus.504]

​@@PoetofHateSpeechyup, the English way. See something good ..... No more of that thank you .... The regulations and rules here are so small and narrow minded and entirely about the cashola.

[@PoetofHateSpeech]

@thisisus.504 It's starting to happen here as well man 🥲. Private marinas are going up everywhere and local rivers have been totally destroyed by development

[@Private-Hudson]

They should of made you an honourable member Graeme. Great video as always.

[@locien182]

i love margin fishing at night. alot of anglers forget about it and keep the rods fired out. anglers throw old bait in close range and the fish are creatures of habit and know they dont normally get caught at night down the margins and feel more confident feeding. margins at dusk/very early mornings iv had good success from. keep up the great vids guys!

[@JennyHarcom]

Hi Graeme 👋🏻 love all your videos and I’m a keen carp fisher lady. I’d love you to say boys AND girls when talking to your audience because I’m always watching too ❤️ you always make me and my dad smile and you have a wonderful unique way about you (especially when trying to remove Moles from your garden!) Hope to bump into you on the bank someday ❤

[@UTUBEFREAK1974]

Hello Graeme, yes watching you fish this lake, was only fifteen minuets away from me fished it in the 70s and beyond, so this is really special to watch a great angler like you, and for me to say goodbye buryhill, great video mate.....as always.

[@TAFishing]

It was indeed a traditional old fishing lake and never once did I get a balloon shaped Carp,they all seemed well proportioned.

[@simonburt947]

TA Fishing is the best fishing channel on KZbin, I have learnt so much from GP and his videos. Always enjoy the 'cook up' segment. Enjoyed your cameo on BBC1 Antiques Roadshow last Sunday...nearly fell out of my chair. Loved the TA plug too. Please keep posting GP.

[@philfoster4298]

Graeme, As an aged angler there are many places I know that I have fished for the last time. Although I always hope that the last trip will match the best I remember it seldom does. The last trip is just the last trip and you were right on to just enjoy all the other distractions there. The ones that along with the fishing have kept you coming back all these years.

The club I was a member of for many years twenty or so years ago used to have access to the stunning Great Lake at Bedgebury in Kent. I wish I had used it more and often and have so many fond memories of misty mornings catching Tench in summer and frosty winter mornings for Pike. They can't take away the memories Graham!

Hi Graeme … Sounded like an emotional fair well to a old friend. So sad. Glad you got that final bit of action. Graeme sir you take care 👍🎣🎣

[@hellrazor2050]

Lovely water not fished it for many years but a shame many anglers young and old are not going to get the chance to experience it for the foreseeable future .

[@geoffmitchell6515]

Loved the vid two beautiful carp my fav was common I remember I was fishing wylands farm back in the late 80 s I had a good run on my right hand rod about 3 in morning never new it was thick for yes run of bivvi straight in to rods and nearly in lake got carp in after 25 min battle 19lb 10 oz common

[@freddyoutdoors]

Really enjoyed watching nice a relaxing thanks for sharing

[@LeeGoldspink]

Well done mate, fish the place in the summer, quite busy, no spots near the island, but a lovely day out thanks to you mate, been watching you for sometime now, your a star, everyone I talk too all know you !! I guess the weight at 17.3, from sitting on my couch, great finish and great fishing mate !! You legend!! 💚 I’ve had black crab bollies before!!

[@TAFishing]

You have had "Black Crab boilies" before ..?? Have you been to the Doctor's yet ??

[@tullysoutregiusroyals]

I Had some 18m halibut boilies before that were black, and never come across liquorice though. I have also made my own made my own amino 365 (which is supposed to stimulate bigger fish to feed and repel bream) they were a dark brown colour almost back. Both baits I caught on and performed really well in later autumn months and early spring. You could set yourself a challenge to catch a carp on a liquorice allsort, that might be something that takes off. Your older videos of you using old-school, less conventional baits, such as potatoes and peas are some of my favourites from TA Fishing Show. I have even used peas in my own fishing and it's an extremely effective bait, I even read that peas are very good for fish and help stabilise their swim bladder, and it also aids in digestion.

[@AdamsAnglingTv]

awsome video Graeme.. nice fish🎣 love abit of cheese on my spaghetti bolognese also😋 like the merch

[@JamesPilgrim-ql2to]

Very sad to see it was your last trip there Graeme. It’s such a shame that these great venues keep closing to the average angler. I’m in South Wales and it’s happened here, in fact the best fishery in Newport is a cartel and now impossible to get in. I enjoyed your last vid and look forward to your next. Regards Jim

[@brookematthews8204]

There are black boilies that are halibut flavour, i have the pop up version they are good for zig fishing on a sunny day as they silhouette when the carp look to the surface.

[@gregbailey2781]

Cracking vid Graham

[@carpypete]

Fished there a couple of time for Zander, only got small ones. Last trip I had a fast take on a roach head, turned out to be a 6lb tench! Lol.

[@JayFlex3]

Nice fishing Graham 🎣

[@Justinclewes]

Most fish see blues and greens and some see ultraviolet but salmon and trout see reds and orange's. From Justin in West Midlands, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 .

[@franksaunders6534]

End of an era, Graeme. Sad when things are no more!

[@davidprobert168]

Reminds me of John Wilson old bury hill 🎣💜🙏

[@DjDolHaus86]

The conditions you described with the half cloudy, half clear and fish being up on the surface in the early morning sounds very much like an algae bloom (it can be brown/green/red/slightly blue etc.), it may have happened a day or two before you got there. The fish were up on the top because they were likely struggling for oxygen as the billions of algae had consumed almost all the dissolved oxygen overnight. Once a colony has gotten too big and consumed all the resources (oxygen + nitrates/phosphates) it will die rapidly which will then cause a bloom of bacteria to eat the dead algae, this puts a further strain on the oxygen supplies. I'm sure you've seen where there's sort of a grey film on the surface of the water at the windward margin, that's called bio-film and is basically the carcasses of billions of dead algae which the bacteria haven't got round to breaking down yet.

[@TAFishing]

Thanks for such an in depth comment...always something new to learn.

[@badeadrian]

It's sad when people want to make you pay more money than you can't afford... Always money and more money 🤑😢

[@crvnmrhd]

Has to be bittersweet to see venues you have fished for years close up, rivers become overgrown from being neglected. Onward to other waters Graeme!

[@DavidAllport-b3g]

on and off ive grown up fishing bury hillsince i was 14, im now 51 great shame such a wonderful place ill miss it

[@benbristow66]

I made some black boilies in the past, crab from memory but I never had any luck with them, might have been the colour but more than likely the fisherman 😅

[@elliottlock9555]

Great memories as a kid going there. Nice one Graeme

[@PeterNW]

Black boilies Graham? Can't help with licorice, but you used to be able to get one (possibly still can?) that was bloodworm flavour and (for me) very, very effecctive, particularly around spooky tench. Black, dull finish - looked like actified charcoal as much as anything, with no really obvious aroma but the tench seemed to love them - I'm wanting to say CC Moores?

[@jonfisher9214]

The Bury Hill main lake carp were smart. They would only feed after dark once the day ticket anglers had left. Bonds was a great runs water. I remember feeling beaten up after 37 carp in a day. Milton was the lake for Crucians and Tench. Proper old school float fishing. I assume Temple lake is still going for the hardcore big carp lads?

[@WolfmanWoody]

I fished Temple Lake with my colleague as guests when it was first opened. We blanked 🤭, which was apity as it was supposed to be a write-up for an on-line mag. It was a lovely clear night though and one of the best views I've ever had of the Milky Way. Thousands of stars, so many it hardly went dark.

[@andym5900]

Black boilie but hemp flavour Had a few carp on them last Thursday & a bonus of two ancient big crucian carp Incidentally all within two foot of the bank next to some iris

[@newsmonger77]

They probably closed it to day ticket anglers because of disrespect of the environment. Some so-called anglers are complete morons, making it unpleasant for everyone, with noise, rubbish left etc. Maybe owners have had enough of it!!!

[@Fuego1000a]

our trip guide is79 years old and hes still plodding the malaysian seas as we speak. he suffered a mild stroke some time back but he is still loving the fishing life. we booked him this september. So, GP please...never say never. just go easy on the bacon and sausages will do.🤪

[@simonepps6279]

Thank god for that

[@marshallh9]

I enjoy watching the occasional fishing vlog but don’t fish myself. However I was intrigued to see the cost of membership at Bury Lakes. 40 quid a year for the minor lakes and 100 quid a year for the main lake plus daily fees. Doesn’t seem that expensive considering the cost of everything these days.

[@bendenton580]

I use sweetcorn and dye it with green colouring on match venues, has the appearance of being in the water for a while, more trustworthy bait. Does well.

[@Uk_carp_diaries]

Hi Graeme, Dynamite baits do a black boilie called the source. It’s been around for years though i’ve never tried it

[@PoetofHateSpeech]

TA Fishing, have you tried soft plastics for carp? It's becoming popular here in Australia to catch European carp with them From worms to critter types of soft plastics.

[@wildrose7546]

Sorry it was your last trip here. It was one of my favourite places I watched you fishing at, but at least you found a couple of the elusive carp.

[@TAFishing]

It was a great place,always a bit of action but it was mainly the surroundings you fish from. Makes a huge difference with the "enjoyable" factor. It was a one-off venue.

[@condor1961]

You are brilliant Graham. Your videos are the best on KZbin by far. Keep it up mate. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@gkeyman565]

great video, do you ever keep the fish?, and did you get anything on the trail cam? have a great day, good luck on the new spot.

[@TAFishing]

I don't keep freshwater fish,everything gets returned(maybe trout might be kept if rules specify that). As for the trailcam,yes I got really good footage of a large Badger eating the bolies I scattered. Now I can't find the clip so I couldn't put it in,which is quite annoying.

[@karlpage8113]

great video there graeme , just tried your combo with spag bol and cheese taeste great buddy.

[@ollyjackson8733]

Never thought about it but i suppose you could fill those pva bags with anything really, do you ever use them in river? Thinking loads of dead maggot chopped up worm and roach pieces stinky. I wonder if you double bagged them qould it be strong enough for sea fishing?

[@TAFishing]

I believe they take longer to dissolve in saltwater than fresh,so double bagging might make it even slower. Although if you were boat fishing and dropping it down it might dissolve before you even got to the bottom.And if you used mackerel/squid etc generally juicy baits I think rolling the bits of free offerings in flour or groundbait might stop the juice dissolving the bag too soon.

[@flamintasty]

I missed Courtmac for a 5 year spell,went back and said I must not leave it that long again.Now its been another 2 years missed,I really must make the effort this year.But finding a settled window of weather for a week is next to impossible now.
