Surf fishing for Bass & Flounders - Vintage - The Totally Awesome Fishing Show

Bass fishing from a surf beach the easy way! International angler Graeme Pullen shows The Totally Awesome Fishing Show one of his basic rigs for surf fishing. The easy to follow procedure is followed up by some non-stop action from one of his short evening sessions from the world famous inch strand beach in Co Kerry, Southern Ireland. Flounders and Bass are caught, and you get a glimpse of one of the most pristine environments left on the planet - the mile long Inch Strand that has faced the Atlantic Ocean gales for centuries. When the wind blows from the south-west, it's the beach to be. The bass are one of the world's most highly prized shore catches with fish to double figures taken most years. This vintage film opens the door as to what success can be achieved, with just a basic rig and the Totally Awesome Fishing conditions!!

What a wonderful treat to this vintage footage. I feel a trip to Ireland is on the cards for me.

[@TAFishing]

Thanks for taking the trouble to write in.We are getting loads like this where anglers are getting my tips and actually capitalising on it.Superb ! Makes all the work worthwhile. Good luck with it and pleased you like our shows. Bass on lures new one up last night.

[@aquaticpears3183]

This vid popped up in 2020! I like the old films !

[@theundergroundkitteh]

Your philosophy on catch and release is awesome!

[@Gordzyy]

Nice to see another surf fishing video, Great video yet again. Thanks!

[@deanf9412]

23 years ago last July. Can you remember that field we crossed on our way to the Wrasse mark with the bull in it? You in bright orange wax suit and me in the bright yellow. Haha, I was bricking it. Great vids Graeme, all of them.

[@TAFishing]

Good memory !. Yes,I do recall it.Had a load of wrasse as well.

[@declanlowe4826]

Great video, I am fortunate to live in Kerry and I am surrounded by storm beaches (Banna,Barrow, Ballybunion,Ballyheigue, are all within 5 miles but Inch is truly the best, we had 20 Bass and countless flounder one night over low water, bass up to 6lb, the methods shown in this video may be old but are still the best, I am a firm believer that if you get fancy with bass fishing you will lose It was great to see the fish going back aswell, catch and release is the way forward, fair play TAFishing

[@beachuk38]

Great video, and nice easy rig to share with others, thanks.

[@TAFishing]

Yes,straight blood knot,but I do say use a tucked blood,but I tie a straight one to save time for filming. Check out all our fishing knot films on the site.

[@jaxongallon2982]

Another great video learnt so much from the videos I have watched so far thanks

[@RichPurps]

Brilliant tips n tricks... thanks so much

[@RichieMoy028]

Thanks man you're a proper LEGEND!

[@jamilof1]

Great video............ Thanks!

[@rwglavin3794]

Just a little input from "across the pond". We keep our bait worms in "mildly dry" seaweed in small bakery boxes. The seaweed shouldn't be dripping but it shouldn't be hardening either. We can usually keep them up to a week or so without that much shrinkage. You can actually put a little news paper on the bottom of the box to make sure there's no water build up and change that paper as needed.

[@John_17x]

nice, ive only fished in canada myself, in ontario, i actually really miss largemouth bass, the small mouth may be a better fighter, i personally loved bass fishing, i did catch better pike and walleye but i dunno, i really enjoyed the bass fishing, kinda wish we had em here in the uk. :( keep up the good work guys, look forward to your next video. :)

[@CaptainRSole]

Great video guys

[@TAFishing]

Yes, had plenty of smallmouth in freshwater lakes on Cape Cod ,plus Pickerel (a sort of pike) as a sideline.Then had Largemouth Bass all over from Florida's Lake Okechobee to Arkansas,and right across to Utah by the Grand Canyon. They are everywhere. Personally I dont think they are great scrappers,but they are a "cult" fish over there.I think the smallmouth is the better fighter.

[@Crooks103]

I tried these rigs. They are fantastic. Thanks for the information. .

[@TAFishing]

If you mean joining your reel line to the shock leader I use the Albright special.Its in our How to tie knots films.

[@pitbullireland]

im from ireland great video guys TAF keep the great videos coming :D

[@Deadleg]

Amazing footage.

[@AdventuresWithDad]

awesome vid and great message...cheers

[@stephen88hox]

i love the tench book you wrote.trying to find the bream one now!

[@barrywilliams2008]

I'm in south Wales and Iv got to say I haven't seen a flounder out of the surf beaches in a long time now I'm on a mission to get one this year iv had a good few school bass and my first garfish on jigs we've tryed lug rag crab sand eel everything we can think of so far with no joy of a good flattie iv bought some berkely grub white and yellow now on the hope something will come out iv learned alot from you guys and I'm greatful you and Mike have it sussed :)

[@каримахмад-и1о]

in south Wales you're most likely gonna catch cod

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Really good video. Thanks for the advice.

[@TAFishing]

Yep.Except a couple of the older cased fish,I just bought those.

[@swissguy101]

I just love your vids mate

[@TAFishing]

Maybe they are the beach spikes ? that we use to hold up the rods ?

[@themostawesomedudeev]

Awesome

[@lesliecrowther4394]

Nicely digitised Graeme, you can see just how old this is, just take a look at the wet gear and the tackle your useing ? ( way back in the day ) yeh i'm getting on a bit too, inch strand is somewhere you do not hear much about these days? but what a beautifull part of the world it is.The fishing was always excellent back then, but how is these days ??? O' don't worry about the specs Graeme i have to wear them to these days for close up work + knots, All the happy fishing :-)

[@jackm942]

Great vid!

[@TAFishing]

It's just a double overhand loop knot, check out our "How to tie fishing knots" videos on our "How To" playlist on our channel page.

[@pacman4568]

When making rigs I like to use my rod rest attach the top of the rig to the top of the rod rest and it all hangs nicely so you can see what you are doing. I am getting old so I use a small stool to sit at the side of it with my box on a small table at my side, saves me the back acke. Near me I buy cheaper grip leads with no beads on the grabs it is very easy to straighten the grabs and add a small bead which helps hold the grips and helps them come off when you strike.

[@beebop434]

Great I'm gonna use some of these tips. Fishing off of Aberdeen.

[@mccahelen]

love your videos Graham, just wish there was not as much in ireland and more in cornwall lol

[@TAFishing]

No way you could ever plan it, as you will always be able to fish it, but which day would be the one when the surf is up ? Its weather dependant, but even so its a spot worth fishing, as there are nearly always some tables of water coming in as the beach is so flat. You are sure to get some wind so I still think its worth a shot. From now through to end of October is good.

[@TAFishing]

Sound is our downfall! but the vids are free to watch, we're hoping to improve in the future

[@TAFishing]

Only to grey.It was darker when I did the above film,but the years have been kind,now I only have to worry about it falling out !!!

[@John_17x]

Hey Graeme. was wondering, you seem to have vast experience in fishing, have you ever fished in the states or canada for fresh water bass? great video by the way. cheers.

[@pcgrey69]

Graeme, I remember avidly reading your work in the Sea Angling Handbook. In one article you fished for true "Monkfish" using groundbait in Ireland. Any chance of a future film as I am feed up of seeing Anglerfish refereed to as Monkfish. Best Dave

[@TAFishing]

Must be your speakers? haven't had anyone else have problems with it lol

[@TAFishing]

It wasn't me, I was sat at home editing another video that is up Monday 15th April at 7pm! (tonight)

[@HaloXIIII]

the only knot i use to tie hooks swivels and so on is a grinner really strong compared to a normal blood knot and for my leader albright special

[@gazlsos]

Hi Graeme, If I was to plan on visiting this particular beach for a few days how would you , recommend I plan for the most ideal conditions in the future if I need, lets say, a months notice ?? Loving your videos, Gaz

[@markwilliams8702]

Got your book ordered Graeme, cant wait to start reading it. Any news on a follow up book ?

[@TAFishing]

mark williams No,I don't have any plans for more books.The films more than fill the space and are a lot less work !!

[@megagatvol]

or should I just bin it and start again ?? I will be purchasing your Bass Book..

[@swissguy101]

The fish in he back ground did you catch them ?

[@mrchainsaw-face.141]

i have always wanted to catch a flounder

[@Scottwillow1]

Why not do a detailed video of the rig you used and some other rigs? Cheers

[@Gordzyy]

Graeme, how did u so the knot at 7:26 iv looked and i cannot find out how to do it

[@robshaw3655]

slightly neater if you put the red loop through the yellow loop and drop the hook through the red loop.seems to tighten up better. Makes no difference to catch rate though!!

[@markwilliams8702]

How can I get your book 'Go fishing for Bass' ? Wasn't aware you had written one. Sounds like a winner. Many thanks

[@Suftastic]

Are those "Totally Awesome Fishing" shirts for sale?

[@nathanwood4980]

what are the the big long things in the back ground

[@RichPurps]

Hey Graeme - you ever been to Jersey?

[@TAFishing]

Yes,years ago.Wrote a few articles about it in the fishing mags

[@megagatvol]

Hi Graham, could you recommend someone who can repair my old Penn Jig Master ..?? I did send it off to someone in Shropshire & all he did was oil and grease the reel ..charged me £35 and the reel is still not working. Cheers, Hendry, West Wales

[@TAFishing]

I'm guessing on the way to 25 years old.

[@flamesfromblazer]

Naah , speakers are fine thanks Just that after watching so many of your vids the music gets bit much after a while. .lolback

[@pacman4568]

you'll likely blank off the beaches in South Wales these days. Russian trawlers have decimated the local fishing.

[@MrGrerm]

And fast forward to 2018 bass is banned in uk!!..whats next????

[@flamesfromblazer]

Annoying to have to move like lightning to mute that music on every single video

[@jackm942]

How old is it? Lol
