Fishing for cod this weekend

[@dsclark1954]

[@DelvinsSilkans]

Night fishing in Bridlington tonight

[@korzer]

Father and son fishing videos are my favourite

[@ryanjacklin2705]

I went fishing on Monday for the first time in 10 years after binge watching a bunch of your videos Graeme and now after this one I can't wait to drag my dad back out with me, thank you

[@MrFuzzwuzzle]

Ryan Jacklin HA no way, I’m looking at doing the same but after 20 years

[@jackmiller-adams4094]

Just finished your book - “big game fishing” and I whole heartedly recommend it to anyone else! Amazing read!! Love as always, a huge fan

[@johnmaggiorino4493]

So Nice to have your Son as angling Companion! Nothing better for father and son to share common Passion!

[@itsdavv354]

Graeme mate you are a treasure, videos full of knowledge, tips and tricks and also bring such happiness to everyone every video, never a dull moment, recently started fishing again after 7 years and fair to say I’m addicted haha

[@seaangling]

Fishing light is most anglers guilty pleasure and Dorset is a beautiful part of this green and pleasant land.

[@danpearce4547]

My 7 year old daughters first fishing trip was the pier. I set her up with a sliding float and small hook with rag for wrasse etc. First fish was a 3lb Bass!

[@matthewbeddow3278]

Thanks, Graeme. Nice simple fishing and like you said a fish is a fish. It's all very well catching monsters but if you start off catching a couple of hundred of these smaller fish, for youngsters and new fishermen, its invaluable experience.

[@TAFishing]

Better to start small and work up to the bigger fish. Then you have appreciation of general fish sizes. If you just go straight out and catch a 25lb Carp it sort of spoils it for later trips when you only get the smaller fish. A big one every once in a while is nice.

[@matthewbeddow3278]

@@TAFishing Spot on Graeme, completely agree.

[@ajdexter4195]

An 18g float with some squid and you won't be able to stop pulling out gobys,wrasse, conger eels and Whiting, even small bass! Its great fun, and if you're feeling adventurous you can bait up a spinner and go for mullet.

[@donnybigboy]

I live up the road from the stone pier Graham, getting better after some bad health and I recon I should give it a go again. Briliant show, Thank you

[@leegarner6013]

Superb session. Bit bashing is great fun.

[@jasonkentish]

Worbarrow Bay been fishing there 42 years. Had too drag a 40 pound conger up that path many years ago

[@ajdexter4195]

Also we fish the stone pier alot with mixed results, sometimes a few mackerel and small wrasse, it's a nice spot to relax,

[@ericokeeffe7541]

I’m actually only after coming home from hospice my dad very sick u cheered me right up keep fishing my friend

[@TAFishing]

Thoughts are with you and your Dad

[@ericokeeffe7541]

Thanks my friend your a true legend keep that rod bent 💯

[@feelinsupersonic1606]

All the best Eric

[@books.reviews.pelhamhardim9758]

Good to see you out and about, Graeme. Dorset, bloody lovely.

[@gazellis1961]

That manky old frozen rag worm was pretty deadly plus those 14mm or was it 15 mm nuts were totally awsome aswell...keep sharing Graeme.

[@bgmedia4199]

Great video as always Graham it's so good to be out in the open and doing some good old fishing i even took my six year old granson and over the moon to catch his first ever tench at the local pond and first ever flat fish as well so proud of him and now he watches your video's thanks Graham keep safe to you and your great family

[@matthewtanner9823]

I've just been to south Devon on holiday and ended up going to Exmouth Marina every day with my mate fishing for mini species. It was great fun, I caught my first Pollack and my mate caught his first Wrasse. I think it cost us £5 for the Rag worm and we still had some left at the end of the holiday. Brilliant fun, all thanks to you Graeme.

[@TAFishing]

Size doesn't always matter,especially if its just bites you are after and any species.Small hooks,light tackle and small bits or Rag or lugworm...usually the way to get action.

[@matthewtanner9823]

@@TAFishing I'll be trying those tactics at Aberystwyth soon But first I'm going to Carlton Towers Yorkshire tench fishing and the following weekend Portsmouth for crucian. Looking forward to my fishing and catching my first Wrasse. Thanks Graeme.

[@clearsight456]

After a while of dabbling in sea fishing your channel had got me going whenever I can great channel Graeme I've learnt so much from you and everyone else you have on from time to time

[@davidb.7093]

Great video Graeme what an interesting coastal rock formation in the first part of the video, nice large fossil in the rock. Second part on the Pier interesting for the amount of different species on light fishing tackle. With all the stupidity going on in this country it was so nice to get away from it all with 50 minutes of relaxation. Thanks for posting.

[@TAFishing]

No problem pleased it passed a bit of time...more to come.

[@danielwilson1105]

I found it so funny watching you go back to base for bait after the first take. Done that so many times myself. Haha.

[@TR4zest]

Graeme - good stuff. When you said "Two light rods and a backpack, and just go", I thought great, a neat LRF session with Graeme. Then I see all the stuff piled up behind the stone bench: 4 or 5 bags, ground bait bag, rod rests, landing net (telescopic) multiple rods. I had a good chuckle. I see myself, and I have no camera gear.

[@keith2599]

I use mixed maggots and slider float with a size 12 hook, bulk the shot 2ft away from the hook and let the trace run across the bedrock or sand, Sweet corn is another great small fish bait due to it's bright colour; green tined sweet peas are awesome to...Enjoyed this vid..

[@supercrew63]

love the rubber band trick,I learn something new all the time here thank you.

[@mart2mart]

Used spark plugs were what I used for weights as a kid :)

[@mitch_st1809]

They all do that in South Africa👌🏻

[@otleybloke77]

Hi Graham, that Japanese bait you are using is usually made with very small shrimp, about the size of a finger nail. The locals here usually use it in a feeder above a line of sabiki hooks for yellow tail, mackerel, horse mackerel and sardines. Usually fished from deep water ports using a big float and small rubber sliding stopper. Been a massive TA fan for years! Thanks for all the entertainment from the Northern Japan!

[@trampster7306]

Good upload Graeme! Great mix of species from the Pier - like you said, plenty of fun! Stay safe & well.

[@williamrobinson3664]

Heck yeah!! Love the videos, thanks for all you do for our viewing pleasure.

[@breannathompson9094]

You're one of the first non american fishing channels I have seen! I love seeing the different stuff we all use and the fish too!

[@LondonPredatorAngler]

never sea fished before, but I always love watching your sea fishing videos... with my poor mobility the rocks wouldn't be an opinion, but that second location on the stone pier would be perfect place to go oneday and have some fun for wrasse!

[@jhann990]

Brilliant video. Thanks guys

[@benlamie1637]

So glad I found your channel last year, love the vids graem! Keep em coming

[@sheppeyfishtales]

Need to get into a bit of light shore. Enjoy fresh water lure fishing with light gear. Great video. Cheers.

[@gavlarlar1410]

Graeme should release "I've never fished here before" merch 🤣🤣 Love the videos

[@TheBishList]

I use the tubular style Bouncing Bettys when I ledger for wrasse. Because they’re long, straight, and semi buoyant, they don’t tend to get snagged in crevices in the sea bed.

[@Familyman0838]

DAM it Smith the man's a shurkha jankers for sure 😉 great video again nice to see yer both safe tight lines guys

[@the30minutechef]

Hi Graeme I fish the stone pier a lot and there's tons of wrasse around for "tiddlin" in the weeds. I used to take the kids down with me and they loved it when they were little. Mackerel works well too and theres some pollock around too. Love your videos so keep them up Graeme

[@wetkneehouston6293]

Ohhh yes, feet up, beer in hand ready for this one

[@Fishingbug]

Great couple of sessions. I love catching the mini species

[@hackstii6175]

Thanks mate! Absolutely loved this video 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@felixd6921]

Always exited when it's friday

[@richardfoster5851]

Well done,brilliant watch 🇬🇧👍

[@xrayoconnor]

Hi mate we used to thread the wormes on to a hook all ready on a line rolled up and put in to a money bag popped in to a freezer it worked a treat u just unroll your line put it on to a snap swivel and cast great vids

[@jack0f.c143]

I’m going fishing next week I haven’t fished for about a year and have new gear so definitely looking forward to it

[@neilsmith7547]

Lovely sport graham.

Love your summer fishing videos, always gets me in the mood to head out

[@jameswilson8820]

That's a brilliant idea with the bait spoon 🤔👍

[@bawhatever5260]

Rock fishing! Amazing

[@lochlainnmacneill2870]

Great stuff. I used to sea cliff climb in my younger days and always called the local Coastguard for a low water/high water tide timings.

[@leej4914]

thanks graeme another long vid my friday night sorted have a great weekend to

[@lesedwards936]

Great fun fishing light tackle I’ve bought a pot of cockles for bait and fished with them. Really enjoyed the video, tight lines Graham

[@TAFishing]

Cockles are really good bait for Carp.

[@stevied8855]

Hi Graeme, Hit it on the head here. I have been doing some LRF lately to test the waters as to what's out there. For me, until i get immersed in the shore fishing again i am going to continue with this. A couple of tips for the other Subscribers, (NGT Dynamic Fishing Trolley), fantastic piece of kit. So easy to load and takes all your gear. (One Pound Fishing Tackle, online). Absolute bargains with brand names like Savage Gear etc My Best As Always, Steve in Fife.

[@trampster7306]

Thanks for the tip off about £1 fishing tackle Steve!

[@bearlop]

Had a great session on the Stone pier with 0.4-5g Lerfing rod, 4lb line and Isome worms. Those Corkwings and Tompots fight like buggers on that gear.

[@moistweasel6196]

Where is the stone pier I have recently got back into saltwater fishing and was wondering where to go

[@andycollings4302]

I've fished the stone pier many times. Sliding stick floats and maggots on 14s and 12s. Great fun. Keep the videos coming

[@wetkneehouston6293]

Those little pouting would be great live bait fishing on your boat

[@TAFishing]

Ideal for Bass fishing .

[@wetkneehouston6293]

@@TAFishing yeah no doubt, even off shore they'll be perfect in close

[@wetkneehouston6293]

In fact, that's a great idea for series, use live baits to taget the bigget fish (Because they it does work) I caught my biggest bass off a live sand eel and biggest smooth hound off a live crab... numbers don't lie

[@owenbunting1999]

Been a fan for years mate glad to see you’re still uploading, tight lines wet nets ❤️

[@TAFishing]

Yeah,still going strong luckily,plenty of films to come.

[@whitetroutchannel]

great video as per, we keep rags in the freezer we salt them first on newspaper then roll em up and bang them in the freezer, there not a touch on a fresh dug rag but they deffo work the salt keeps them a tad better

[@colinhurford8194]

Excellent I love this style of fishing salt water and fresh but as I've got older the level axess is easier

[@kingoftadpoles]

I had the same pier fun at Sandown, IoW, plus floating for mackerel with sandeel.

[@JXLPerformance]

Great video. I'm a content creator myself albeit in a completely different part of KZbin but I love your videos! I've recently started getting into fishing myself and the tips/videos you guys produce help me massively!! Much love.

[@kerryfoster1]

I fished for wrasse in Cornwall many years ago off the rocks using crab on float gear. caught them up to 1lb, but bigger ones were literally bending the hook out. Interestingly if i used rock limpets I never got a bite, but crab was amazing!

[@scotsmaninthephilippines1659]

Graham, nice video, I've really enjoyed you stuff during the lockdown. You pier fishing reminded me of fishing in Dunbar harbor, East Lothian, as a kid and casting Ching toddlers and having fun!

[@jakemarsh2122]

Skips to 9:47 that's a funny looking pier ahahaha quality vid

[@mashembo]

this is my favourite fishing spot

[@MajorDsastor]

Hi Graeme great video as always , i'm playing it on a 42 inch tv in my den and i would just like to say thank you, the picture quality of your vids are excellent mate

[@pferoxtheskeeterguy]

Great audio with the wind blowing that hard. Since living near the Texas Coast, I got hooked and prefer saltwater fishing. I really enjoy your saltwater fishing episodes, especially the shore and pier ones.

[@ORNijmeijer]

Graeme is the bob ross of fishing

[@Angrypostman1977]

Instead of the frozen rag i salt mine they are smelly and tough and will catch everything swimming excellent video as always Mr P

[@rogernichols8150]

Lol you guys are so great love your videos mate!!! :)😁

[@fishontingsfings]

You have a strange effect on my wife Graeme, as soon as I put one of your videos on she swears and leaves the room, bliss, keep it up.

[@sheppeyfishtales]

That made me chuckle...

[@Rick356A]

I love the fact you never really know what you will get next in the sea, a good cheap weight i used to use was old spark plugs, cleaned up first!!!

[@pacman4568]

nice to see you got your mojo back

[@simonross8218]

'A nut on the line, and a nut casting it out'🤣 Sums us all up really..... Sometimes the smaller species are a lot more fun, because of the quantity! 1st time I ever used a LRF rod was in the IOM, great sport, just dropping it over the edge like you, to see how many species I could catch!

[@woodsmn8047]

speaking of disposable weights..an acquaintance of mine used to use old spark plugs...the kind with the screw on top.. this he used to attach the spark plug to the line..then he rigged them on a pendulum made of lighter line so if it got snagged the attaching line would break saving his main tackle

The Japanese bait says, "Sabiki-kun." It's some saltwater bait popular in Japan. No idea who Sabiki is, but it's named after him by the looks of it.

raining ...its looks like a wet June so maybe July - we are heading to the Similkameen river downstream of Princeton B.C. If there are too many people or no fish we will head north into the back country. Mahood Lake or possibly head west into the Chilcotin country. up in the air at the moment.
