I've 2 days on the erne next weekend in ireland hope to get into big pike..log cabin hot tub private jetty and boat all in 100 euro each 3 lads all in can't wait. I made 2 beach holders last week worked a treat cheers for that vid.
I had 8 the other night from the sea wall in Scarborough... a bit of a mixed bag. I had 2 rockling, 1 very small codling, 4 coalfish and a HUGE flounder :) all returned
I miss sea fishing . You and your lad sure spark enthusiasm for your respective sports which is excellent. Admit to finding the seas pretty barren the last few decades ,speaking as a casual angler . Popping down the pier on a family holiday generally doesn't produce much . Probably just me though I am heartened by river fishing these days .
If i ever win the lottery, i will over throw you guys :P You are and probably always will be what i wish i could be, the best fishing UA-cam channel period. Keep em coming guys :) Biggest Fan.
Catching a few spurs recently and the whiting are biting!i find twitching the line, especially with muppets on the hooks can encourage whiting to bite they seem to like a bit of movement. 🐟
Great info as ever. Can you provide some tips on how you find the fish holding ground and where you decide to drop anchor? would you get the same results just drifting? Many thanks.
Probably not as the tide runs can be over 2 knots on springs so your bait would be flying over the seabed and in coloured water the fish don't get a chance to see it. Anchoring usually better .
Hi guys love the show can I ask if you have done a video on cleaning and maintenance on saltwater reels ? Last time I went out off the local pier I just put my rods and reels to one side and didn't pick them up again till last week, Obviously they were gummed up but got better after a while . I looked in your how to list but couldn't see anything I think it would be a good idea for a video ?
Keep up the good work love watching your videos but I am not a fan off killing fish like to put them back all fish what do u like better sea fishing all coarse fishing
Hi guys, any tips for getting past the pouting? here in France beach fishing at night seems to be crazy with pouting and they are eating everything and targeting other species such as bass or rays is proving really hard. Any tips on rigs or baits to avoid them would be fantastic!
Seems they are running late this year.Mid November they should be in thick.Always used to be my best time for shore Cod.Next big Spring tides were the best,and the following springs in first week of December.
Would it be any good to put a small whiting as bait out on a second rod, if your catching loads from a harbour and know it's also a good spot for cod and bass?
Probably a dumb question but I just don’t know better: why do you have to get the cod out with the gaff or the bet? Why can’t you just pull it out on the line like the whitings? Would the line break? Would the hook tear out of the mouth?
Yes,either hook pulls or the line snaps .Net is as good as anything but mine was tangled in the holder so I grab the hand gaff which is what its there for.
New subscriber from Northumberland here!!!! Brilliant informative - and entertaining videos! Been away from boat (charter) fishing for years but hope to return very, very soon.
Well if there is its a bit late as we ate them !...I never noticed them in the meat,but with big foreign fish like Amberjack you can actually see the worms when you are filleting. As long as everything is cooked properly I guess its all protein. Someone out there with a Phd in worm parasites might be able to tell us.
that's about the same depth i fish at when on the boat,we have countless breeds of rockfish,but my favorite target species is lingcod,and cabezon,love how that blueish meat turns the most beautiful pearl white,and has a very light taste.
I doubt it after Graeme used a gaff which looked like it pierced the head. A 14lb Cod would provide some nice steaks for the freezer. I would have kept that one :)
You set a good example Graeme, I've seen you return the large majority of the sea fish you catch. And I'm guessing Cod and Whiting are your favourites to eat. I think I've only seen you take one Bass and that was for someone else. Watching your videos has ignited a spark in me to start fishing again, and I'm in the process of getting new rods, reels and bits and bobs. I get down to Dorset a fair bit and I'm really looking forward to some LRF on The Jurassic Coast, I recognise most of the marks your lad Mike fishes there. Also the river Thames/Isis is literally a 10 minute walk away from me and the size of the Perch being caught along my local stretch are Totally Awesome. Thanks for all the great info vids on knots, rigs and general stuff only crazy fishermen really understand, the vids of of you catching are inspiring but without all the info and stuff they would soon become boring. As someone wiser than me said "it's called fishing not catching" Keep up the great quality turn out. Wether it's Whiting off of West Wittering or Marlin of off Madeira you've got me hooked
Fishing last night and the whiting were taking whole squid not much smaller than the fish themselves, hopefully the cod will eventually come in but yes live baiting whiting may be the only option this year
jayswin2 sharks are very hardy fish think of the amount of fighting and bites a shark takes in its life cycle, I don't think a gaff will do life threatning injury to it.😃 Tight lines 👍
Its a release jaw gaff.pop the hook in then it can come aboard for measuring,tagging ,recording etc.It has no barb which has been ground off. Just a second hook really and used mostly on foreign,more frisky sharks like Blacktips and Lemons etc. I like to tag them in the water but sometimes I bring them aboard to get the hook out.
Try the beaches,I got plenty of Whiting literally last night off Hayling Island plus Pouting and Dogfish...got home midnight..total cost fuel for car and a fivers worth of Ragworm..".It don't get no better than that !!"
Back on the Boat! Are you guys catching much at the moment?
Sadly nothing much, last week did get a 12lb pike which was nice i guess
I've 2 days on the erne next weekend in ireland hope to get into big pike..log cabin hot tub private jetty and boat all in 100 euro each 3 lads all in can't wait. I made 2 beach holders last week worked a treat cheers for that vid.
I had 8 the other night from the sea wall in Scarborough... a bit of a mixed bag. I had 2 rockling, 1 very small codling, 4 coalfish and a HUGE flounder :) all returned
all i can catch is grayling, 25 in a row the other day, im not complaining but i was after a mixed bag haha
Chased a whiting bait ball up and down a gutter on the beach last weekend did ok they are not as big here in Queensland but very tasty non the less.
Many thanks guys. Nothing better than one these sessions on the High Seas Drifter.
Love the sea fishing videos, thanks Totally Awesome!
Love these vids you're a fountain of knowledge my friend 👍🎣 cheers buddy 🎣👍
Hi Graeme I’ve just started taking up fishing and I’m really enjoying it ! Your videos have really helped, thanks

LOL i mean course fishing but thanks for the reply means allot

Cracking cod and some nice whiting too, well done Graeme 👏

Solo fishing on your boat stay safe Graham.Ive never caught a whiting or a cod but I eat either or once a week infact tomorrow it’s cod whey hey!
Looks fun. I wish I was fishing with you Graham how your lad doing hope well. Happy fishing mate
Catching a few spurs recently and the whiting are biting!i find twitching the line, especially with muppets on the hooks can encourage whiting to bite they seem to like a bit of movement. 🐟
Beautiful cod Graeme
Hi Graeme,will you batter the cod whole and deep fry, or bread crumb it!!.
Great info as ever. Can you provide some tips on how you find the fish holding ground and where you decide to drop anchor? would you get the same results just drifting? Many thanks.
Probably not as the tide runs can be over 2 knots on springs so your bait would be flying over the seabed and in coloured water the fish don't get a chance to see it. Anchoring usually better .
Was this out off Chichester harbour? I am hoping to get out there this Saturday if the weather plays ball. Thanks for the video!
Probably out north of the Nab Tower somewhere.

We haven't yet, we've talked about it in a video but not done a full video on it. We will look into this - Mike
Keep up the good work love watching your videos but I am not a fan off killing fish like to put them back all fish what do u like better sea fishing all coarse fishing
A very good video Graeme, as usual lots of tips....
Hi guys, any tips for getting past the pouting? here in France beach fishing at night seems to be crazy with pouting and they are eating everything and targeting other species such as bass or rays is proving really hard. Any tips on rigs or baits to avoid them would be fantastic!
Use a big bait like mackerel
great show less expensive boat fishing more beach fishing please
do you make the running ledger and rigs out of the shock leader or mainline attached to the end of the shock leader ?
Nice cod Graham they’re just starting to be caught up here in the Mersey
Seems they are running late this year.Mid November they should be in thick.Always used to be my best time for shore Cod.Next big Spring tides were the best,and the following springs in first week of December.
Would it be any good to put a small whiting as bait out on a second rod, if your catching loads from a harbour and know it's also a good spot for cod and bass?
Cod,Bass,Conger and big Rays will eat any live fish,so it makes sense to give them a try every once in a while.
ya I may give it a shot the next day I'm in the harbour I'll pack me big heavy rod
Great vid
Great vid! You need the new go pro 6 tho. I will have to donate ;)
graeme, do you never use circle hooks? the americans use them and get good results, heard people using them for pike too
BUSHCRAPPING I’ve used them and I love them, hooks fish so nicely in the mouth/lip.
how deep were you in this video, on all the offshore fishing I have done the whiting have come up with blown out eyes from the pressure
Probably a dumb question but I just don’t know better: why do you have to get the cod out with the gaff or the bet? Why can’t you just pull it out on the line like the whitings? Would the line break? Would the hook tear out of the mouth?
Yes,either hook pulls or the line snaps .Net is as good as anything but mine was tangled in the holder so I grab the hand gaff which is what its there for.
Do u have any beach fishing Videos coming?
Yes!! Graeme has been out on the beaches a few times in the past week, more beach videos coming !
graeme sir,do excuse me for being nosey. but did you keep that stonking barrel sized cod after it was gaff hooked i hope.?
New subscriber from Northumberland here!!!! Brilliant informative - and entertaining videos! Been away from boat (charter) fishing for years but hope to return very, very soon.
+TAFishing Any issues with cod worms?
Well if there is its a bit late as we ate them !...I never noticed them in the meat,but with big foreign fish like Amberjack you can actually see the worms when you are filleting. As long as everything is cooked properly I guess its all protein. Someone out there with a Phd in worm parasites might be able to tell us.
hahaha, Oh well that's okay then, I've been a bit put off fish because of the worms, but if you didn't see any that makes me feel better :)
Whiting is all I seem to catch :-( really want a cod
Did you keep the cod yum yum
😀
how deep of water are you fishing in,
Probably 60 feet
that's about the same depth i fish at when on the boat,we have countless breeds of rockfish,but my favorite target species is lingcod,and cabezon,love how that blueish meat turns the most beautiful pearl white,and has a very light taste.
Did you put the cod back
I doubt it after Graeme used a gaff which looked like it pierced the head. A 14lb Cod would provide some nice steaks for the freezer. I would have kept that one :)
I'm afraid it was "TUMMY TIME" for that one .
You set a good example Graeme, I've seen you return the large majority of the sea fish you catch. And I'm guessing Cod and Whiting are your favourites to eat. I think I've only seen you take one Bass and that was for someone else.

i apologize, my first reply was to dumbestfishermantv and second to Graeme
i want to come fishing with you please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the first
Nice Cod! Get it battered.
Best tip for not catching whiting please?
richard best bigger baits?
Use a Whiting as bait for Cod,Conger,Undulate Ray etc.
Lol I know what you mean. 4/0 or bigger hook and they still manage to swallow it.
Fishing last night and the whiting were taking whole squid not much smaller than the fish themselves, hopefully the cod will eventually come in but yes live baiting whiting may be the only option this year
richard best dont go fishing
Forgive my ignorance but, when catching sharks for scientific purposes, why would you want to 'gaff' them? Surely once something is 'gaffed' it dies?
jayswin2 sharks are very hardy fish think of the amount of fighting and bites a shark takes in its life cycle, I don't think a gaff will do life threatning injury to it.😃 Tight lines 👍
I’ve never seen anyone gaff a shark, they are tagged, but I’ve never seen one gaffed
A gaff in the fin or tail wouldn't kill a shark,
Its a release jaw gaff.pop the hook in then it can come aboard for measuring,tagging ,recording etc.It has no barb which has been ground off. Just a second hook really and used mostly on foreign,more frisky sharks like Blacktips and Lemons etc. I like to tag them in the water but sometimes I bring them aboard to get the hook out.
thumb up this if you to skint to buy a boat
Try the beaches,I got plenty of Whiting literally last night off Hayling Island plus Pouting and Dogfish...got home midnight..total cost fuel for car and a fivers worth of Ragworm..".It don't get no better than that !!"
This is better - stay away from manmade fisheries.
cancel my comment I saw later in the video its mainline.
