Graeme, I watch you as often as I can. I've learned so much. Things I could do on small lakes & gentle rivers. Big lakes/fish are like nature videos. Relaxing & fun to watch. I mean no disrespect, sir, but (being a Yankee - lol) I understood everything this time. You spoke softer & slower. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LMAO on some of your hysterical opening scenes that you've done. You should be very proud of yourself of the example you set as a father with all the time we see you spend with Mike. Love to your families.

[@jonitheboi605]

Nice one Richard that's very generous of you. Graham Richard said he want his box back now you have cleaned it 😂🤣, you've done a really great job on that pal.

[@plummerboy170]

Glad you like it mate Can’t wait to see the rods in action 👍

[@terohalpin8004]

Nice Gear Richard you give it to the best person you could have Graman looks after his gear like ababy and it will get so well used with plenty of fish caught on it,did you see the smile all over his face showing it to his subs he was so made up,good thing you did a lot of anglers dont like parting with tackel

[@plummerboy170]

Tbh hes a lovely bloke tbh and he puts a lot of effort and time in to his videos , thank you

[@ivornappinion9406]

Good on ya :}

[@deanclatworthy8505]

Well done Richard I look forward to seeing your gear in the great man’s future videos.

[@Graham-1888]

well done richard, no point hoarding stuff you wont use and seeing it in action and put to good use is a bonus.

[@jpperry2691]

Hello TA I walk past this daily on my travels to school great to know it’s prime fishing spot thanks guys loving it

[@poLaczekCebularz]

Cant wait till spring and your carp fishing videos with slow sinking flake !!@@

[@bigmoncrief6071]

Graeme, that's a brilliant point about the first fish of a session changing your confidence. I've been on a few trips where the chances of catching seem slim and I've started to doubt my sanity after a few hours of no bites, then I land a fish and suddenly I'm rushing to get a bait back out in anticipation of a sudden run of fish!

[@TAFishing]

Makes a big difference to your attitude that first fish,especially if you are fishing a water you have never been to before. Gives you enthusiasm to fish with more confidence,almost willing the float to go under.

[@matthewbeddow3278]

What a nice guy donating tackle and not rubbish either, awesome.

[@mikejames663]

Graham, you are the working man's connoisseur fisherman, brilliant and practical.

[@stevied8855]

Great to see you getting something back Graeme. Thanks for your earlier reply. Steve in Fife.

[@grahamnash9794]

Thanks for that Graeme, to see an urban stretch in a swollen condition being fished with such success is a first for me. Thanks also to Richard for doing the right thing with disused gear. from my point of view, gifts like this to the TA fishing cause makes the whole exercise worth while. I should do the same really. However, I just cant bring myself to part with my collection. Plus my angling sons are waiting for me to pop my clogs and see whats been hidden for years. Thank you again Graeme.

[@TAFishing]

They'll probably put the lot on ebay for £25 !!.. Best not to pop your clogs and continue enjoying the use of the old tackle.

[@grahamnash9794]

"I just thought you guys would wanna...well we all like going through tackle boxes don't we"....aye we do lol

[@joshuagolding359]

I’m a regular fisherman on this river. It’s pretty much on my doorstep. My best advice is floating bread no weights and just free line. I’ve caught some beauty’s out of the same stretch.

[@crvnmrhd]

Your river fishing videos are my favorites. Even though most of the fish we catch here in the U.S. are different, the methods still work! Now if we could just Match rods and the rest of the equipment here without having to import it, that would be great.

[@fatwagtail]

I know what I'll be watching over the next few weeks at home. Stay safe Graeme :)

[@ivornappinion9406]

That tackle box came up a treat

[@up2u225]

Graeme, I've never fished in my life. Always been really keen to have a go but been put off because I haven't anyone to go with to show me the ropes and thought I'd just make a fool of myself ha! But I'm addicted to your videos and watch them whenever I have a spare minute!! (to my girlfriends dislike) and I'm going to get started soon hopefully!! Keep them coming....really helpful! Cheers 👍🏼

[@MikeyJMJ]

I've been wanting to get started soon as well. I've got some tackle I've collected over the years and a few rods. I don't know anyone who fishes though so I have to learn everything online

[@mikedinsdale6065]

I loved the place it is beautiful, congratulations your fishing was incredible, you caught beautiful fish. Hug and good fishing always!👍

[@davidb.7093]

Great video as always i love small rivers (even just walking by them) and my second favourite river fish was always grayling so underrated. As for the tackle box contents and the result you achieved cleaning it up excellent. I would think that would be £70 - £100 on E bay without a problem.

[@peternufc1981]

Great video Graham

[@Vanman-ed9og]

It was like Christmas for fishermen and you caught some fish as well.

It's bad down here in South Wales, big Carp are turning up in Estuary's dead

[@jayswin2]

Another brilliant, informative video Graeme...thank you. Am desperate to get back out, once this weather buggers off. Ive got to be honest, as a sea angler, coarse fishing doesnt really appeal to me (but Ive watched all you videos, so you must be holding my attention). One question (because I dont know anything about coarse fishing)....I notice you go to lots of different spots like in this video, how do you know who to pay? In some vids you walk along rivers and fish lots of different spots, do you have to pay different fisheries all along one river or is it like a day pass? Sorry if they are daft questions but Ive never had to pay to fish........yet

[@TAFishing]

Reply not daft. The local tackle shop will generally sell you a day ticket for a stretch of river,but that will have boundary restrictions so it won't cover the whole river. Usually rivers are broken up into different club sections. Each club may have either no day tickets allowed so you have to join their club,or they sell a day ticket. It could be half a mile,it could be several miles. Best to check online or at your local tackle shop shop. The price is exactly that..a ticket for a day.

[@alexbell4205]

Hi Graham love the show have a question am thinking of taking part in my ferst winter river match could do with some tips . Have had a hard year with all things but fined fishing the way to relax hopefully your tips can help me a bit

[@TAFishing]

If its river fishing,red maggots,2/3lb hooklink and size 18 hook. Double or single reds on the hook. Or a brandling worm on a size 12 tipped with double reds if you want a Perch.

[@tonymarsh9411]

Hi Graeme just a quick question. Have you ever tried longline fishing?. I was going to give it a go with about 20 hooks while doing some shark fishing (if this weather ever gets better that is) sometime in the summer. I have watched a lot of videos on youtube and think I have figured out a way to get everything back without ending up with a birds nest. Any advice would be welcome.

[@TAFishing]

I did try it a couple of times trying to find areas where fish were prolific. It was quite fun and we couldn't wait to pack up our rod and line fishing to go and see what was on the long line. Quite something to see twisted nylon and no hooks where big Conger had either taken the bait or the fish that was on the hook,they spin and go through even 80lb mono. You need to check old books or the internet to see how longlining is done properly. A lot of it is using enough weight to anchor the line and also deciding whether to anchor across the tide,or down it.

[@jamiesorensen9879]

Worms all the way!

[@willproctor7301]

Just wondered if you ever thought about taking a weed rake to make a channel in all that weed for landing fish? The big fish under the weed video made me think of this too. Cracking grayling chap :)

[@ICHall-og5zk]

you caught some cracking fish , you never tell us where you fish !!!

[@Mark-lh4xq]

great video, again - REQUEST: for us sea anglers considering rivers ...can you chat about freshwater licenses etc

[@TAFishing]

Trouble is all rules and regulations change all the time so being left up on KZbin some whinger with a clipboard would be on it in a years time saying its out of date and incorrect.So easier to say nothing.Just get a license,check with your local tackle shop.That way they would have up to date info on everything and I don't get the "regulation & Rules"whiners in a year's time ...Happy days !

Avon rod for grayling? It was coming through a bit so at least you could bully them out.

[@TAFishing]

I use the Avon for almost everything. Had a 26lb plus Pike on one down on the Hampshire Avon,fishing lobworms.

[@borderlands6606]

@@TAFishing I also use a 1 1/2 lb Avon if I'm not sure what's in an unfamiliar river. It can bump off small stuff like grayling, trout or roach. A beefy 4-5oz quiver tip acts a bit like a match rod, and you can still cast a float with it. Nowadays, a light spinning rod with a tiny 20 size fixed spool reel and 5 lb line in the boot of the car, is my "opportunity" outfit ; )

[@dylanscally]

When do you think the pike will spawn this year.

[@TAFishing]

Probably from now onwards,might be a bit later on rivers as most are running at flood levels so they might be March/April. Who knows,everything is upside down with the weather this year.

[@godnotsomighty]

Hi Graeme, when next you're down Guildford way, drop me a line, no pun intended - I'd love to show you Shillinglee lake (silver and carp)...

[@TAFishing]

Never heard of that one,but sounds like a float venue ?

[@godnotsomighty]

@@TAFishingThere are actually 2 lakes side-by-side. One is a day-ticket affair with some really large carp (Common, Mirror, Linear, Leather and Ghost up to 40lbs; and Tench to 10lbs and Roach, Golden Rudd and Perch over 2lbs). The other is a local club water that I am a new member of (Billinsghurst) with a delightful mix of bream, carp, tench and roach - all to respectable sizes..... They are located a few miles out of Haselmere, in the direction of Loxwood. When spring comes, if you fancy a new fishing experience in some wonderful countryside, I'd be only too pleased to cast a few peas, beans, potatoes, bread-flakes or whatever with you...

I understand this is a controversial topic but what are your views on the otter and cormarant situation? Fantastic video as always

[@TAFishing]

In my opinion,both are ruining our freshwater fisheries. Just ask the fishery owners who are losing all their stock.You might as well get some bright spark to introduce the Timber Wolf into the local dog walking park. Yes,the Wolf might have been there first historically,but then so was the Mammoth . And don't get me started on the Signal Crayfish !!

@@conalbennett8259 What do you mean releasing Pike into Trout fisheries? If they are catching them in the "Trout Fisheries" then what's the harm in releasing them back into where they came from? Always annoys me that people think the Pike are destroying the trout. Poor excuse for not catching on the fly. Pike maintain weight in a body of water - not numbers. Take out a few big Pike and they get replaced with loads of little ones that go around eating everything to get bigger - it's a problem that wasn't there to begin with caused by ignorant trout fishermen. Tight lines and all that.....just don't be killing Pike for no reason.
