Pop Ups vs Float Fishing CHALLENGE!!

You cannot beat a good fishing challenge. So Graeme tried a fishing battle between a regular Pop Up and a Chummer Float to see which method was best on the day.It took him a while to find out what was going on with the baits, nut then he loaded up in an epic 4-hour session.

Pop Ups vs Float Fishing - BATTLE!! 🎣

[@lukewilsonproductions4450]

TAFishing can you start doing beach fishing again im 13 and have learned alot from you but my knoledge well is draining and need more. Ive learned bait presentation and casting from you.

[@saulgoodman9550]

i think the videos would be better if you was a tackle tart graham!

[@anthonydonnelly4069]

Have you checked for leaks.!!!!

[@samdieselpower]

I love this dudes channel , his tactics make me laugh. Old school and clueless but great never the less. Hilarious 😂

[@samdieselpower]

Haha mate , I love the dude and of course I know he holds the records and all that . He is a top sea fisherman, you can see that from the many amazing sea fishing videos he has made. I love this dude , I fall to sleep watching his vids but as a course angler he is not brilliant , but he doesn’t need to be. That’s part of his charm. If however , he and I were to go course or fly fishing I guaranty I beat him in a match. For example he wouldn’t have a clue how to create a semi-stiff hinge rig with a neutrally buoyant wafter bait. But equally, put me in a boat out at sea and I would be thrashed . Also I have a HND in fisheries and have worked at some top course fisheries As well as owning my own small lake , so I highly highly doubt the dude would know more then me about fisheries on an academic level .and as that is the only level that can be truly measured, I would say your wrong and dumb.! Plus as I made this comment about a course fishing video , And his skill is as a sea angler, You show that you have actually no clue about what you are talking about as you are basically assuming that the two very different forms of fishing are in fact the same. But are in fact worlds apart . It is clear to see to anyone that knows about course fishing that he is not great ! You know jack shit , and you are fucking dumb !!

[@welshfisher8692]

@@samdieselpower Your comment reminded me of an old chinese saying , man who thinks he know all knows f....all.

[@samdieselpower]

@muskyERA awww, did I offend you . Go tell mummy. How often do you nail her anyway ?

[@geoffringham1051]

Brilliant Graeme. You worked hard for those fish. Well done Sir. Plus a useful bit of DIY info at the end. I've learnt a lot from you today. THANKS 👍😊

[@JEMHull-gf9el]

It amazes me all the little gadgets you guys in the UK use for carp fishing, pretty interesting.

[@stephenthompson9557]

Another great video.. Such a great feeling when that notification goes off. Well done

[@willproctor7301]

Catching a fish in a thunderstorm is now on my bucket list, awesome mate! Totally Awesome :)

[@Bengal68mass]

Really enjoying your fishing prowess. And I'd be heading home hearing those thunder bombs all around. Great job.

[@ammadi445]

What a great videos u r making.....the best channel ever , a lot of information and sense of humour ....

[@daveyoung9567]

I love the chaos of your videos.

[@marymckeeman7230]

19:19 20:24 focus on playing the fish than filming most of us would prefer you prioritise the fish over the camera, with that out the way this is such a great film and a love it.

[@A_New_Yorker_Lost_In_Florida]

plumbers putty with shaved iron would maybe work? ... ideas are sparking lol... tight lines and thanks for another great day out and a great lesson ... 💙🤙🐟😊

[@hawkeye7862]

Awesome video, I find a set of wet weather trousers and jacket come in super handy lol! 😁🎣

[@jimjames5709]

You remind of my brother Graham a great old school fisherman 👍 I love watching your videos.

[@carsonking5549]

Little ones fight better. Great video, as per usual.

[@cliffnightman1]

A little tip if you have got a cordless drill & a masonry drill you can drill the hard soil then add water for your umbrella spike.

[@bernardprice8316]

graham you might want to edit that bit out about sticking the hook in your trousers past the barb as it barbless hooks there isn't it?

[@Kosh42EFG]

bernard price definitely is.

[@tennyson23]

yehhh hes a little girl using barbless!! so pathetic, he even tries to hide it from the viewers ashamed haha

[@paxmowa]

He probably had it nipped or filed, sometimes there's a little edge still that can catch on fabric fibers.

[@hawkeye7862]

It’s also a good idea to carry a light pair of wet weather on your bag just incase 😁😂🎣

[@linejensen2526]

In an other episode you toll that 13 mill. have seen your show. It just hit me, you make me feel that im actually there beside you. You are pretty good. You can be very proud of your self. Denmark

[@darylmooyoung6414]

Uncle Graeme stay awesome love the videos :-)

[@ragtie6177]

Loved this video.

[@clint-1725]

More pike videos lads please,ordered my first batch of sprat today should be fun.

[@Leonf123]

Graeme obviously you know what breadcrumbs are but they are another bait you can buy in bulk for groundbait as well as bran and the horse feed ebay sells them in 20something kg sacks for £20ish, same as the other stuff

[@davekomarnicki3121]

I really really love your videos your commentary is so awesome keep it up ,I will keep watching.

[@waggas1]

Graeme, how do you know everything about anything? 😂 love it. Might have to get some Avon rods, waiting for my carp rods to get a bite takes too long haha 👍

[@B4its2late2change]

Love your vids. Here (southeast us)I'm fishing at night for flathead cat fish. Using something similar to a Carolina rig (google) with good ole chicken liver held on the hook with a stocking. Happy fishing to ya.

[@davidnieuwland]

Love your video's and I've pretty much watched them all but ... again a fishery video djeeez.

[@olliemain5231]

Yet another fantastic video chaps! I absolutely love your videos and I was wondering if you could give me some advice because one of my favourite lakes to go float fishing on has an abundance of carp, however when I catch my first fish of the session the commotion caused when playing the fish seems to spook the other fish in the area and I really struggle to catch many more fish during the session! (Even moving swims doesn't seem to help)!

[@MarkCarp]

pop up wins due to the fact you can chuck it out then hide under the brolly and stay dry...lol👍

[@charliebower1925]

Mark Carp I agree 😂

[@garethjamesplunkett]

Funny video. Brilliant

[@sravydogs]

Great video big G

[@garsimmulholland4984]

You need a proper drain cover to stop the rats on that property.

[@ammadi445]

Big fan from Libya

[@marymckeeman7230]

Oh and when you said nevermind about putty it means it will float all the way up so 1min of putting putty on does make a difference! - Will

[@dylanr1984]

when I was on holiday I seen someone wearing the ta fishing top

[@MrDalyhoo]

Very good video again, was there any reason in particular you chose to float fish out in the open whilst the pop up ledger was in the margins?

[@eldsprutandedrake]

Really enjoying this channel and the wide variety of fishing, most species I can think of seem to covered in one video or another. But when I grew up and were fishing a lot in a small lake by my grandmothers summer house there was one fish in particular that we caught a lot, there were pike, perch, the odd trout or grayling but we did catch a lot of lavaret. Always in the 0,5-2 kg range and we always caught them on small spinners. It's a fun fish to catch and great fish to eat, but I've never really seen it in fishing videos on youtube at all. Do you you ever catch it? Is it even native to Britain? Or does it have some weird English common name I don't know maybe, and I've just missed it? :P

[@as400techman]

Lavaret is a white fish and we have no white fish in England, they are restricted to Wales, Scotland and Ireland in the British Isles where they are known as Pollen, Powan and Gwyniad.

[@briansivewright4403]

Another great vid, been watching you guys for a couple of years now, we don't do much carp fishing more trout up here NE Scotland but I wonder if you can use that cage float sea fishing ???? What you think mate

[@mattyc9150]

i like the conker method abit of cork sticks about 6/8 mm (what they put into the boilies to make them float) with onto a middy lasso 8 pound hooklink wack some paste on around it and around the hook and the stick, the paste i make lasts for about 20 mins and sticks like ****to a blanket but soft enought to hook best thing is with paste method you make some put some around the stick then dip it into some of the dry mix and shove it into a pva bag

[@seant2243]

Any Beachfishing Videos soon??

[@geo-s-8530]

plenty just look

[@hawkeye7862]

Much prefer his river and lake videos 😁

[@_Remo72]

Graeme great fishing but the head cam is giving me motion sickness lol lol

[@jondaniels123]

Mike/Graeme - Can you recommend anywhere on the coastline that's good to bushcraft camp? Want to tie some sea fishing in with bushcraft.

[@TAFishing]

Don't know anywhere,but I would fancy west Somerset as some spots are sheltered from the South Westerlies.

[@austincurson1822]

I prefer method feeders and having a 6mm pellet or a pineapple 8mm bandem. My pb Carp of 16.9lb was caught this way and i was fishing no more than a yard out so I could see the fish. Nevertheless another great video guys

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

iv started using the method feeder lately and its getting me more fish than any other method i have tried. i havent got into banding pellets yet but iv been doing alright on the corn and mircro pellets. i always look at the bands and larger pellets but i never know what to get,(i get my tackle mostly from a pet shop as my local tackle and bait shop are arseholes) any advice? also are pellet banders 100% necessary? i tie my own hair rigs with anything i can find lol dont use bait stops

[@austincurson1822]

BUSHCRAPPING I just buy my rigs tied because I don't have the patience to make my own. Also if you want to try something just go down to a shop called boys and they should have a fishing section and just buy a bag of pellets from there and just use them as hookbaits on a pellet band and you will catch fish. If you want to catch fish near the end of your session put a small handful of groundbait in a ball down the edge and wait like 10mins then lower your method feeders on top and hold on to the rod and have a lose drag because when you book up to a carp they would pull the rod in if you leave it alone.

[@carl6936]

I've been on the method for about 2 years now, it's my go to "method" for high stock lakes and quick bites. 6mm-8mm pellets, 4" hooklengths. Can't beat it.

[@ianforrest5402]

what size diameter landing net are you using also carbon or metal handle?

[@sambrumpton3773]

Your very unlikely to catch something on a popup a foot of the bottom!! 😂

[@sambrumpton3773]

I take it back 😂😂😂😂

[@chrisholt3312]

TABuilding Show

[@davidharvey5672]

Thanks guys.

[@eddylonergan142]

What do you say Graeme when the missus ask's how you keep getting holes in your trousers.

[@charliepembo7330]

Just started trying to catch carp can I get some advice please. Much appreciated

[@bmwthreethreefive5798]

Graham, don't you find it incredible that you can catch fish with such simple setups. Where these Korda people and the like will try to sell you camouflaged line, stiff rigs, special boilies, special dips, special reels, special rods, say that line must be sunk and that you need these special critically balanced complex hair rigs and chod rigs etc.

[@hawkeye7862]

BMW threethreefive let me tell you that Korda goo is epic !!

[@johnburgess5645]

love fishing graeme but, is there any chance of you doing some more diy vids in the future.

[@johnburgess5645]

oh dear, think i may have touched a nerve. lmfao at you. would you like to meet sad boy,

[@johnburgess5645]

you know what sad boy i feel kind of sorry for you so il tell you a bit about me, i dont need a job, i got plenty of money, my own house, my own range rover and everything i have is paid for, i have a lovely family and we all have two foreign holidays a year. i am well educated and have my own business where i have people do the work for me and i pay and respect them well. you see there are two types of people in the world today, normal everyday well groomed, clean, well off, respectful, genuine people like me. and then theres you. you are a coward who hides behind his keyboard, someone who goes on facebook with a false female profile in the hope that someone might like you. you see sad boy you dont wind me up or upset me, you amuse and entertain me. you are my play toy when i am board, you are my bitch, i only wish you we would meet up one day so i could toss you around a bit like a cat with a mouse, just before i bite your throat out. well i know that wont happen because your a COWARD. well im not wasting anymore of my life on scum like you so bye bye sad boy, just remains for me to wish you and your sad inbred family all die of cancer. bye bye

[@Kosh42EFG]

The hook in your trousers past the barb? I thought Watmore was barbless?

[@TAFishing]

Ran out of barbless so did the best I could and crushed the barb .Obviously left a tag on that one. I use barbless pretty much everywhere now so get through a few hooks which is why I ran out. Although there is a school of thought that don't want barbless as they say it moves around too much and damages the fish more,whereas barbed sits in one place. Seems to be going full circle.First cheese is good for you..then its not. Red wine can be good for you,but then someone says it isn't...we can't seem to win in this life.

[@Kosh42EFG]

TAFishing now the barb vs barbless is a whole other can of worms 😉

[@DarkhorseG]

wich reels on those rods?:)

[@stevewelches1955]

I watch your vedios all the time and I noticed you set your drag then put your finger on the spoon to slow the takeing of line. why don't you just set the drag tighter? why are you not afraid of breaking the line when you put extra pressure on the spool

[@juliuspatecki7528]

Can you dropshot with normal fishing line

[@austincurson1822]

Mini Rocker should be able to but braid is better for dropshotting and lure fishing because there is no stretch whereas in monofilament there can be quite a bit of stretch. Hope this helps.

[@james6495]

Do you flip houses?

[@khoiang6318]

Pen rod fishing please

[@pooley9932]

Floats all day

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

i prefer to fish with a float for every fish except carp, i dont know why i just have better luck with ledgers

[@charliepembo7330]

Love them as well

[@floydgilmour3994]

1st!!

[@natph3689]
