Epic Fishing with PRAWNS - WHAT A BAIT!

Graeme has had more than his fair share of double hookups on camera,but in this fish-filled session he had no idea what he would latch into on ultra-light 13-foot match rods and chilled Prawn for hookbait.....It proved one of the best afternoon sessions he has ever had,and you can bet he will be stocking his freezer with a few packs of prawns from now on....Sit back and enjoy...he filmed the entire sequence on his own,but gave thanks to Willoughby and Ben for helping him out with his final photo!

This was filmed a while ago - but Prawns are still a deadly bait all year round. Have you ever fished with Prawns? They can be great for Perch in winter too, underneath the overhanging snags.

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

not tried praws yet, thinking of giving them ago on a joint perch and chub river session soon when it warms up.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

TAFishing - yes Graeme, I’ve caught loads of catfish ( mainly channel cats) on prawns ( shrimp here in states). But good bait either way! I’m pretty sure I’ve caught Carp on shrimp too, of course the Carp over here will eat all sorts of stuff, so it doesn’t surprise me any of the things they’ll eat! Back in the late 70’s I used to go to this creek I knew of and seine crawdads ( crayfish) , I would usually keep the small to medium size crawdads and put them in a plastic bowl w/lid, and NO Water!! Just crayfish alone, and then freeze them, then when I went fishing I would take them out of the freezer and let them slowly thaw out, but they were best used still frozen, just hook them through the tail once and fish under a float, I always caught Big Carp on them! The Carp loved frozen crawdads!

[@Mike-jc9xd]

Thanks to your vids I used prawns this year and I've caught perch,Rudd,roach,dace,tench,bream and carp great great great bait

[@DjDolHaus86]

Been using prawns to good effect for years, there doesn't seem to be a coarse fish that doesn't like them. The little tubs of prawn in brine from LIDL are ideal session packs but I've found that raw, unshelled prawns are far better if you're after a big stripey. As a general note, if you're catching small perch in a swim then its time to move as that's generally an indicator that there are no bigguns nearby, due to their cannibalistic tendencies perch only hang around with similar size fish. Personally my favourite method for singling out the better fish is live baiting where allowed and big fat lobworms as a back up

[@andymetternich7453]

TAFishing fished for freshwater fish with shrimp. Does that count?

[@chrisbarnacle6262]

The double catch at the end was brilliant .. great skill Graeme 👌

[@poppypoopapie]

Love this guy who relishes every fish he catches big or small. Just loves catching fish, his enthusiasm has no bounds.

[@KINGSOWN100]

Graeme, you give many thousands of people great pleasure and you can't do better than that. Happy Christmas to you and yours mate.

[@unoevo24]

This guy is awesome! Great angler. Lovely character!

Just came across these films by accident and I can't stop watching them,I've fished since I was about ten had to give it up when I had kids and had to do family stuff,haven't fished for the past ten years,all my gear still in the garage.i love watching fishing programmes even though I don't go anymore.,.suppose you never lose the bug for it

[@TJ-hd5ym]

Wow I really enjoy all the videos so relaxing 👍

[@ChrisG55584]

Captivated from start to end! Always quality content. You’re one of the greats Graeme 👍

[@mikerom9958]

Too funny Graeme!

[@jaymutsuddi]

Started fishing for the first time a month ago - prawns landed my three nice chub down my local river in one day. amazing bait

[@RLU-wt8vi]

Love watching you fish! You're so knowledgeable and include not just your equipment & bait, but details that other fish shows don't cover. Things like weather, barometer, pressure, temps and of course, location. Keep up the videos.

[@wildrose7546]

Great fishing Graeme. Also big shout out to your wife for supplying bait, sandwiches and " The chair" and Merry Christmas to you and your family. xx

[@stuartwilson4710]

Thoroughly enjoy every single one of your uploads. Much better than what's on the box.

[@MrSantacruzz]

You are a great angler and always proving that you don’t have to spend lots of money on the latest trends to be successful

[@connorcardinal5932]

Simon Hopkins yeah thanks, only recently got into fishing and this channel has provided numerous tips and is now my favourite KZbin channel

[@jeburial3958]

I would say you made that lads day letting him play that second rod and bringing in that beautiful fish.

[@GramscisCat]

Brilliant - what a great Video. GP is an inspirational angler - keeps it simple and shows that you don't need to spend hundreds to enjoy great fishing. I especially enjoy his feel for the environment and perspectives from a lifetime of fishing. The best KZbin angling site, the best editing, and the best presenter, there is really no contest.

[@dextersfishing2478]

I am young french viewer and I love your videos thank you so much !!!!

[@matthewwallace4249]

One of your best carp videos without a doubt! the control you showed while playing those two fish at once was nothing short of incredible, you'd think you did it all the time! Great job mate can't wait to see what's coming next!

[@MaffTUK]

You may just have heard this once or twice before but that really was "Totally Awesome Fishing"

[@bencook6605]

Wow what an awesome fisherman . Thanks for all the amazing content I still havnt seen

[@edwardshea5084]

That last one was a ride man! Wow!

[@flashtheoriginal]

Tried prawns yesterday but on hair rig, minor success. Im glad I saw this today as free-lining direct to hook appeals to me as I find ledgering can be irksome. Will try prawn to hook on main line, letting the bait naturally sink. Ive come to fishing relatively late in life but love it. Really enjoy your videos, thanks a lot for the advice and entertainment 👍 The sense of community here is heartwarming, everyone can help each other but no-one oversteps the mark. Respect rather than disturbance UPDATE 30 NOV 2021...massive day in the margins, deepest Suffolk: 11 perch, one at 3lb+, 2 mirrors < 6lb each and an 8lb common (weighed) - all freelined to a single bb. 2 fat mirrors on the float to end the day. All on tesco prawns, standard size. Thanks Graeme!

[@heyneedhelp8266]

Why tho it doesnt work good om hair rig?

[@paulpicton7280]

What a great days fishing you had think i shall be trying prawns

Epic day Thanks for sharing

[@neilsmith7547]

Cracking common graham. God I was in stitches when you had two on at once. 😅😅

[@silverbob999]

once again another great episode

[@robertocarlos-yi1sk]

We use prawn for catching Bream in Australia, just try to touch the prawn as little as possible, the fish sense the scent from our hands. Killer bait..

[@justluvfishinguk]

Just brought some Raw jumbo king prawns frozen from Aldi £2.19 ..canna wait try them .. cheers Chris & Sam

[@williamavery9185]

I am amazed how you manage such quality filming and staying so cool. With a double hook up, big fish too. Well done. Best fishing you tube by far

[@greatwhitesfishingadventur2273]

Well Done Graeme !!!! 20lb 12oz ...... Amazing ... Cheers "Down Under Mike" ....

Insane fishing

[@timothyqtully807]

Merry Christmas

[@outdoorjo6752]

Yep, used prawns for two or three years just before I packed it all in and had amazing success with them. Like Doug Hensley said, crayfish tails work really good for the bigger carp but especially Perch as they are a bit to big for the smaller fish, ...you can get em in little tubs at Lidl too along with TJDolhouse86's prawns. They cost a bit more but will almost guarantee you a bigger fish. Thanks for reminding me of this one, it's one I enjoyed a lot when I watched it first time so watched it again :-)

[@jev321]

Awesome video as usual one of my favourite videos you have made 👍👍👍👍

[@paullawrence8572]

Thanks mate.

Great to hear you thank the passer byes .

[@warwickwood5838]

Ur my inspiration buddy good job on that one I would have panicked lol

[@supremeconnor6679]

incredible

[@G0NMY]

Enjoyed watching that session Graham, and what a gent allowing the young lad to hold the other fish and be photographed. Great ambassador for the hobby. One comment I wanted to make is that bigger perch tend to come at dusk, well that is what my dad rest his soul used to teach me. he often had an evening session at the local park, and as a youngster I never understood why he always came home in the dark. But he always had some beautiful Perch in his keep net. Anyway Prawns, I think maybe you should opt for King Prawns to target the bigger fish what do you think? That slug escaped to live another day. Thank you for sharing. Tight Lines. Mark

[@petertoole6992]

Great video again graham

[@redlightbulb]

Cracking as always Graeme, cant get out over December Chefs life haha you help keep me going with these vids, and Im straight out after lunch service boxing day after some pike, so Merry Christmas lads keep it up.

Nice to see you back on the bank

[@davidhull1061]

Great video Graham. Out on Saturday to Todber manor, I will make sure I don't forget the prawns and maybe, maybe I might get that elusive 20lber. Keep em coming Graham.

[@buddyboy330]

You would be perfect for narrating nature documentaries

[@octaindoctor5153]

I've got a sandwich... I've only had one bite... I can't stop laughing.. Your brilliant.

[@rhino5419]

A very merry Christmas to you Graeme and Mike and all your family. Best wishes for the new year. Thanks for another year of great entertainement.

[@felgate11]

Look for prawns which are on the "Ooops" shelf in the supermarket - sometimes only 39 p to get shut -same day sell by date. (will still freeze for fishing!!)

[@titan0857]

Another top notch video! That bridge at the beginning looks shady, mind. Wouldn't like to drive over it!

[@richm2835]

Another great entertaining show ! Thanks. Something I've found to almost eliminate the hook swallowing when fishing specifically for perch is to use a very light weight jig head no6 or similar size hook , baited with worm or whatever & suspended just above bottom , either with coloured heads or not it doesn't seem to matter,. beneath a float I just use an old fashioned fat bodied "perch bob" type, with a couple of shot up the line if needed . The jig hook obviously hangs bend up and nearly all the perch are hooked in the top lip. Using the same method with an ordinary size 6 results in a lot more swallowed hooks again . I suppose also you get a bite registered as soon as the bait is taken with no play in the line like with a ledger link , whichever way the fish moves registers instantly ? Have you ever used that method yourself ?

[@jocookham4810]

Love these vids. He has a passion for fishing and is not worried about buying all the gear. This is the type of fishing I love and want to pass on to my sons. When I see guys with £1000's of pounds worth of heavy gear and dressed in full camo its hard not to laugh. Its about simple gear, watercraft and passion for the fishing itself. Young kids need to know 90% of the tackle is nonsense. You need a simple set up simple basic baits and then get cracking. Kids should be allowed to fish on very low cost day tickets or preferably free as well.

[@TAFishing]

Well said !....I'm going to dig out an old photo of me in camo gear,as it was all the rage 50 years ago,and I think its worse now !...everyone has to have matching green.Trouble is they wear all the green stuff so the fish can't see them,then they cast 120 yards to the other side of the lake ?? What's that all about ? Maybe the fish have binoculars.

[@robcollett]

Your videos are very entertaining! You’ve got my subscription! 👍🏻

[@vinceythefly]

You could have made that sandwich on the bank! Great videos.

[@aeroflopper]

As a brit you should always make time for tea.

[@markusmottus1686]

I'd like to say when I go to England or rather Great Britain I'd love to fish with you or at least accompany you Graeme, or accompany Mike because both of you have given me so unbelievably much in terms of knowledge and I would really want to learn from both of you first hand. That would be one of the greatest honours I could ever wish to achieve.

[@flashtheoriginal]

???? Dont understand. England is a country, Great Britain is a collective of nations. If you are in England you are in Great Britain by default. But if you are "in" Great Britain you wont necessarily be in England.... you might be in Wales or Scotland. England and Great Britain are not the same thing. In fact, as an Englishman, I find it offensive to be referred to as "British". Just saying

[@douglasnewlands47]

That was good viewing and quite a catch too! Have caught small wrasse off a harbour wall on prawns and if I recall correctly, only one gurnard off my boat. Never considered using them in freshwater, but will try on a nearby gravel pit after Christmas. Best wishes to you all at TAF and in the Pullen household for the festive season and in 2018.

[@baldvale5418]

[@jordanrichards8963]

Amazing video! In my coiny were not allowed to release carp back into any water way because they eat all of our Murry cod eggs

[@divin777]

Love your vids !!! In order to have the prawns holding better keep them 20 secs in the microwave or oil them two minutes . Btw , cat food , the one you showed us a while ago is not officially my secret ingredient for whatever feeder groundbite I use . I’ve learned even to put it on a hair rig with a quick stop for my method feeder . Thanks for all !!!!
