Which Fishing Bait is Best? Hotdogs or Boilies?? One man's attempt on solo fishing trip to Dorset

[@nigelmidwinter3269]

It's Graeme it's fishing it's Friday night viewing sorted, what's not to love...Thanks GP!🐟👌👍

[@evil-c4301]

Love watching TA fishing videos. Love the presenting style, honesty and humour. Keep them coming...

[@newsmonger77]

Another great video Graham. Its easy to spend lots of money on carp bits and pieces and bait and flavours. Its actually now become a million pound industry. I'm old school and like to keep things simple and cheap (as do you). For me, bread is still the best bait.

[@TAFishing]

I was filming a huge tackle outlet yesterday,complete mind blower as to how much stuff is in there..expect to see it in a film shortly.Must surely be one of the biggest in the South.

​@@TAFishingwhat editing software do you use for the videos?

[@stephenridd6834]

Answered VERY easily!! Hotdog sausage!! NEVER EVER had even a single nibble on a boilie (nor a pellet come to that)... Hotdog sausage (especially chili or peri peri ones) ... unbeatable and up there with maggot, bread, worm, corn and spam type meats...

[@xCraigD86]

When will we get to see part 2 Graeme? Also well done on the first part, Some very nice fish during the day. You cannot beat catching big carp on lighter float gear, Much more fun! 😊

Hello Graaem, always a pleasure to watch you fish, perfect timing, I am off on the Thames Sunday got a swim in mind, rain tomorrow, one feeder rod, one rod with meat, all the best and massive thanks mate, your the man!!

[@TAFishing]

Good luck with it,I talked with a Salmon angler from the Hants Avon today,he said its all pretty dire on that species and we need the rain.

@@TAFishing I have a mission for you mate, my biggest Bream 10lb.3ozs that was a few years ago, and a red letter weekend of 250lb of bream advridge size 7ib, not showing off at all, but I want to see what you can do, tight lines mate.

[@HitTheBricks89]

Oi Oi Saveloy said Mr Carp. I never tire of watching your skill with controlling a rod Graeme, I think it's a continuous top tip on the channel and especially great for beginners who otherwise learn by trial and error. I must of lost hundreds of fish in those first few years learning how to play them properly and not let the adrenaline take control. I landed my PB Bream on Thursday mate 9lb 3oz on a method feeder and banded pellet and wait for it out of Bristol Docks. It's all free water so didn't even cost me a day ticket. Thought I'd snagged a bit of underwater debris till about three rod lengths out and then Bang , I've never had a Bream fight like that before. Anyway enough of my waffling , hope the Missus and Mike are in good health. take care mate.

[@TAFishing]

Well done,that's a huge Bream,I've never even seen one that big ,and makes you wonder what else is in there.

[@HitTheBricks89]

@@TAFishing Me neither until now my PB was 4lb 7oz, it looked somewhat like a dirty gold dustbin lid. I have heard of doubles coming out of it in the past but it was some time ago. People have had good Carp around 30lb from the Docks, lots of really specimen sized dace to. It has several locks and so the whole dock rises with new water I think once a fortnight , letting in all sorts and it's brackish in areas to and gets the swell coming down and filling it up through the feeder from the seven. Honestly mate I'm like a dog with two dicks , it's been a good couple of years since I've actually caught something special and I've got a bad leg now so it's rare i get anywhere very far Sorry Graeme I do go on, I think the pub mentioned banning me if I don't shut up about it. Take care .

This week I was following Graeme's advice and trying prawns; excellent.

[@TAFishing]

Pleased you had success using them...a lot of species seem to like them.

[@martind6838]

[@Coarseangler-h1o]

Hotdogs, bacon grill, luncheon meat soaked in oxo, brilliant, all I ever use. Gave up on boilies, pellets. Cheap and effective😊

Thanks Graham your videos are brilliant, had problems with the hot dogs as they float am I doing something wrong with them, help appreciated. Regards Chris.

[@TAFishing]

A bb or AAA shot should be enough to get it on the lake bed. I put mine about a foot away from the bait.

[@christopherbirch5627]

@@TAFishingthanks, please carry on making excellent fishing help videos, all the best Chris.

[@philgale1752]

Also with luncheon meat I slice it 4, 6 and 8 mm, in a plastic bag you put a small amount of your liquid or powder additive , rub it around , add your meat and rub it around then freeze , when thawed it has drawn that flavour in . Break into small bits with your nails for size 14 and your away . I re freeze if not used or liquidize to add to ground bait .

[@condor1961]

Another fantastic video Graham! When is part 2? I can't wait to see it. Next time I go out I'm going to try hotdogs! Keep them coming Graham I love your videos! ❤️🎣

[@TAFishing]

A few days..hope to work on it tonight.

[@condor1961]

@@TAFishing Brilliant I will watch out for that. 🎣🎣🎣

[@philgale1752]

Just use a grater with different size slots , you just increase speed or pressure for your choice of sizes . Add brown crumb , oats or ground bait to help it sink and a little goes a long way if mushy , doing that helps as it's fatty some can be buoyant . A mixture of mush and larger bits keeps the fish occupied .

Really enjoyed watching this your a wizard with a rod keep em coming

[@squirrel7t7]

8mm bread punch is my spam cutting choice.. You get perfect 8mm pellets of meat every time. You do get a little exess that way but i just loose feed with it or throw it in my ground bait. I find they trust the pellet shape a bit better than the cubes. No finicky bites. They just take it.

[@pirththee]

Have you ever tried the Hickory Smoked Spam for bait?

[@squirrel7t7]

@@pirththee Not yet . Is it any good? Ive tried all kinds of meat I find spam the best for staying on the hook peck is good but falls off too easy. I didn't know they did other flavours.. I only use regular spam or hot dog sausage for a specimen lake.

@@squirrel7t7 I've seen it but haven't tried it yet. I was hoping you had. I use Slim Jims because the crays are off their heads here.

I'm wondering if the sieve meaty mush did the job? 😊😊

[@foylad4862]

Next time you go on a fishery Greame try fishing without putting any bait in at all. I tried it my last few sessions fishing infront of the peg on single maggot just over depth, and its none stop, usually a nice mixed bag too 👍

Pleased you enjoy it,I try to keep it real,I have never done anything other than basic tackle. More important to learn to read a water and understand more of where the fish might be.

[@dannydecare2116]

How much do you pay for all the ground bait and actual bait for a single time out let's say 8 hours

[@TAFishing]

Depends what bait you want. I pay (2023) about £17 for a sack of Bailey's Horse feed ,but that lasts me the best part of 5 months so about 2-00 a session. A large bag of boilies might be £50 but it has other stuff in the deal,dipping juice or whatever they call it,and some bags of pellets. Again,that might last me 4 Carp sessions overnighting. So averaging £15 of bait ?...Or if I am day fishing I can use a couple of loaves of bread from the supermarket and that might be £1-50 if its going out of date and on the discount section.Plus a frozen bag of sweetcorn,under £2. But that's just me. Everyone is different. For 8 hours day fishing you can do it a lot cheaper using Supermarket produce,luncheon meat,dog biscuits,bread,sweetcorn etc.

There is no answer to the question in the title really. Different day, different venue, different results. It's about what works 'On the Day.' Which is why it's always a good idea to have few different bait options at least.

Here boilies will work sporadically and hotdog usually catches just cats ,crays and snapping turtles.

enjoy watching some videos. but defo not a carper. haha m8 try catching 30lb + on a 3 and half lb test curve rod. the bend is turned over. specially with carp rods we have now . no weight to them xtra curve to play the fish. god bless him .old timer. hasnt a clue. dont get me wrong his old fashion fishing works special wen he goes to these lakes that are ramed with fish. u cud chuck anything out and catch. carpfishing is for more broad minded. u realy got to think about tactics. change if necessary. water craft.

[@TAFishing]

I've done the 35lb Carp on a pokey stiff Carp rod,film is up somewhere in the playlist. River fish. Common. I personally just haven't got the time to sit around mulling over tactics to catch Gerty the Thirty, I just go fishing like Mr.Average and happy to catch whatever is in front of me. I scale down my tackle to get a bit of action from whatever size of fish is in front of me. Its all relative. I've done a 1000lb plus shark in 600 metres of water on full standup gear so a 30lb Carp is just the same,another fish,just a slightly smaller size. The saying is .."Each to their own"...whatever you enjoy.

Graeme, how much does all those bags and tins of bait cost? I only go sea fishing so all that stuff is alien to me, hence wondering how much all that bait costs. Do you also have to pay to fish there?

[@neilvee451]

its expensive lol

[@flamintasty]

@@neilvee451I had a feeling it would be. When I first started fishing as a kid in the mid 70’s, it was just a pint of maggots. I haven’t fished freshwater for over 40 years. Things like carp cradles didn’t even exist back then. How much of all this new gear catches the angler rather than the fish? I see so much stuff online for freshwater fishing, and the price of it makes me wince 😂

I still catch fish on a pint of maggots the bags are more just us coarse fishermen preparing for literally anything, you’d think some people had a tuck shop 😂
