Small Pond fishing holds Big Secrets!

Join Graeme for some small pond fishing In a lake that holds some big secrets! This is a film that GP made this winter when he fancied his luck trying to find a big fish at a tiny Somerset Pond. He tries with rubber grub lures, working round the margins, but in the end has to sit down and concentrate on his secret bait. Supermarket Prawns! You always know he is going to try a bait a bit out of the ordinary, but will he get a nibble? Watch the film to find out. Plus there is a segment at the end showing you where he has been spending his time recently..it's up at a new Woodland just bought by Mike from TA Outdoors. Check how far they have got with the various timberwork

After all these years you've been fishing, its brilliant to see how excited you still get catching a fish!! Keep it up Graham!!

Beautiful Perch.

[@janedurston8939]

What a lovely winter Perch and thank you for sharing it with us kind regards Mr D

[@stevejohn1843]

prawns seem to be a rock-solid addition to the bait choice graeme. i am about to start up the sport after a 15 year lapse. i think i'd be happy to chance this bait!, it's certainly more adventurous than the maggots or sweetcorn, though the time for those will come again as the season changes back to old school baits.

[@davidb.7093]

My favourite freshwater fish and what a beauty. Well done Graeme. Off to Devon to view houses will have to catch up on the videos when I'm back.

[@TAFishing]

luck with the houses.

[@VectraStevieB]

Been feeling really down lately but your videos keep me going through the day

[@TAFishing]

Doesn't everyone at some time or other ?,the World's a right mess,so even editing films helps keep my mind occupied and pleased when I get a comment like yours...even some minor distraction can maybe move a train of thought to positive. For sure you are not alone ,and if just one film helps one person I feel its worthwhile.

[@stephenking78]

Knew you’d do it Graham, enjoyable evening thanks👍

[@TheGozman100]

Outstanding as always!!!

[@nect7354]

Uncle Greame! You need to try Johnsons lake at Godalming Angling Society, large fish...but very difficult to catch. Also another spooky lake called Wood Lake Busbridge...pike up to 30 pounds... But extremely hard to fish there for some reason.

[@karlwatkins2331]

Nice session again Graham some perch that buddy never seems to amaze me what you get up to is there nothing you don't do

[@seanmcananey4407]

Love your videos Graham , I have learned so much and enjoyed them so much , thank you

[@aquazack8504]

Love the videos especially the float fishing ones, cant wait for the ice to melt in my home country and get some float fishing going!

[@DjDolHaus86]

The joy of perch is that big ones can crop up in any size lake if the conditions are right, I've caught dozens of 3lb+ specimens in tiny ponds of less than 2 acres and my PB of 5lb 2oz came from a very small lake.

[@janedurston8939]

That's a big perch👌

[@Shagley]

That’s a bloody monster perch 😳

[@tadhghayden8440]

Nice bit of woodland....habitat....good angling as well....fish maybe hovering in deepest part of pond....great interesting use of that tree...are they beech trees?maybe put up some nesting boxes...

[@Edward1312]

Nice Perch Graeme considering its just a pond.

[@wildrose7546]

As a beginner, I find that type of ledgering so simple and very effective. It was worth the trip for that perch alone 👍

[@TAFishing]

I was happy enough with it...I reckon I was lucky to get one of the bigger Perch

[@manbearpig1318]

Nice narration relaxing video

[@sibwraith1682]

Cracking perch. I'd guess those scales are from a chub. Didn't think there was any in the pond until you caught one

[@andybowrahfishing9313]

love your video's Graham and the team behind the sciences, been watching you for at least 10yrs, I have my own channel based around the area that you fish on the show, St Audries and areas that i tend to frequent and do in my own channel.

[@andybowrahfishing9313]

what i was getting to, do you have enough view and visitors to make it a good revenue for business? By all means take a look at my channel and let me know your thoughts, Andy Bowrahfishg

[@TAFishing]

It may be hard to believe but in over 10 years I have never taken a single penny from KZbin. Most films barely cover expences of petrol etc so I just pay that myself. Same goes for merch..Mike runs everything. I do it because I don't want to let down our loyal "Awesome Army" of followers plus I enjoy putting the films together. It keeps me off the streets !!

I fished a known big carp day ticket lake that I’d heard had perch in. Took a bag of those prawns and caught fish after fish until I’d used the whole bag. Literally i caught 30 odd perch in a few hours and I couldn’t believe it

I still don't know why Perch take them. Must be the smell of the sea .

Holly wood. A wood with magical properties often used for magic wands and magical staffs used by wizards. Also the name of a magical place in America where dreams come true. So they say

[@RuachEden]

What fisherman doesn"t get a buzz out of catching a 2lb plus perch?! Research "The Ned rig" Graeme. Perfect for what you were doing here! Oh...and by the way. That accelerated cast tuturial, please?!

Mike should look at veteranising some of his large trees to make better habitat if he hasn't got any veteran trees

[@matty1597]

I never thought of that, perhaps you are right...must be starving if he wants a bream slime sandwich !!

[@philbench7622]

Because of the possible reaction, no-one would dare to make a video of the best Perch bait/method anymore 😨 = a float fished lip hooked live minnow 😨😨. Honest to God, when I was a kid, the minnows took longer to catch than the perch 😨 ... until I got taught how to catch minnows with a wine bottle. .. not that I'd come across many wine bottles at 7 years of age 😨😨

[@TAFishing]

Just outside my window on the trailer looking a bit sad...My local/nearest slipway (50 miles away !) been closed to any public,so I am stuffed unless I want to drag it 250 miles west,so at present its not being used. Maybe this summer.

Would you be able to make any furniture out of the ash tree or is it not a good wood for that?

Already planned..Ash is one of the more popular woods for furniture making due to its straight grain.

[@mikemesser7223]

Hi Graeme, you have opened my ears and brain over the years whilst I have been dedicated to your channel. While I enjoy all of your uploads and am grateful for all of your efforts that offer me the opportunity to try methods that I have shied away from in the past, in a selfless attempt to help me to catch more and larger species. However I am becoming extremely concerned that High Seas Drifter, (you know 'that Yellow Banana' skippered by you and crewed by Mavis and Smith, the ones that keep an eye out for your nodding rod - oops sorry rods) has become very conspicuous by her absence. If that is because, it seems that age and danger are best buddies. Then at 63, not many years behind I offer my assistance (no charge involved) to operate the filming and safety equipment, while you concentrate (with edited part time breaks for you and I) on your 'manic' fishing sessions. You could even get away with a slight change of series name eg. " a man fishing solo at sea plus a bit of extra ballast" now surely that would work. Ok I know and am preparade for the inevitable round of rough and tumble with 'Smith' and 'Mavis' who, understandably would consider me the enemy and trying to capture their titles regarding the number of 'nodding rods' that they claim. Do not worry I am good at soothing inaccurate concerns. On the more serious side please consider this as both a genuine concern and a sincere offer. (PS We do not even have to be friends Ha! Ha!) Keep those vids coming. Sincerest respects.

[@TAFishing]

Thanks for concern.Its not being used as my closest slipway is 50 miles away and they have banned all public usage and even stopped new membership so I'm stuffed as I don't want to drag it anywhere that does not give me 24/7 launch/retrieve. Maybe this summer I might take it west,have to see how it goes,but thanks for the offer though.

I've told many previous potential girlfriends, that a small pond could hold big secrets Graeme. ... but alas, I'm now 66 years old & still single 😨😨 ps. I love your videos by the way 😉 you get the young uns thinking , instead of being "commercial fishery robot numpties" ❤

[@neilbuckard723]

You could have your own pond and charge day ticket prices and free advice and information.that would be awesome you would have ppl booking years in advance just think of the income?

[@TAFishing]

Sounds good,but I'm not one of those people interested in how much I can get out of it...my idea is to actually try and put something back.
