- How about getting your bait the "DRAGWORM" way ?? This unusual technique of bait gathering was filmed by Graeme down on the South coast of England where the boat goes round in tiny circles,towing some sort of grappling hook through the mud....Weird or what ??

Hi Graeme That is a site we see right through the summer and winter here in Poole harbour, it takes place all over and is a common way of dragging for rag worm. Holes Bay is the site that you often see them doing this, and as it is many people complain about the practice that live close by holes bay, as they believe that it is making conditions bad for Sea birds and there food supply. As it is carried out on the deeper parts of the bay the only birds it might hamper are waders but only on sprig tides. The rakes used break up the surface mud which in turn catches the worms on the arms like a big fork tines, slightly rounded which slides them up to catch point you see when the rake is hit down on the board. The mud in the bay moves around with the tides and breaking it up means more worms can move in to the cleaned area over the next few tides giving them a plenty full stock of them year round. If you had the ability to dig for the worms the professional diggers would dig the area bare of worms in a few weeks, dragging for rag worm is a better way forward and the smaller rag worm stay unaffected by it. Michael from Poole.
what a load of bollocks
😂
@@gmonkman You clearly don't have a clue why you even on this video lol
Don’t u talk crap
I guess you could say that those two are "master baiters". Love the outdoor bushcrafting channel as well. Cheers.
The 'hooks' are bait drags,it's a technique unique to Poole,it's the only place in the world where it's shallow enough and the mud soft for it to work.
Bait dragging has been carried out in holes bay for about thirty years,the main harbour for roughly fifty.
There used to be fifteen to twenty boats regularly working now there are just six, relatively static bait prices against steadily increasing costs of mooring and maintaining a boat being the main culprit for the demise.
you always make me smile Graham, your enthusiasm on all your videos is unfailing love all your videos on the TA channel
You learn something new every day. Great video.
theyve been doing it for years. It started when boats sometimes pulled ragworm up on the anchor blades. didnt take long to adapt it to a coupla large hooks
That is mental! What an effective way of collecting stacks of bait!
never seen that before great spot graham ,imagine that spot after a storm 👍
bait sellers tend to get half of what the tackle shops sell it for, here in Weymouth it's £15.00 a pound, those guys are earning a good living, but I've never seen Rag Worm collected that way either .. Nice one Graeme
great stuff great video please do more videos like this and sea fishing video tx keep the good work up
amazing video
That's the natural clockwise torque of the propellers right hand turning
Its exactly the same as scraping for bloodworm. The constant force against the blade holds the worm on...
I have seen it being done near Hook, Southampton
My local water. Some great fishing can be had.
This has been my job since 8 years old I'm 27 now , Very grateful to have a father who is a fisherman of Poole
Hi I am going to try this method in Ireland can you send a photo of the hook
Thanks Dave Tilly
@@davidtilly2142 it’s a Grappling Hook Four Prong anchor David that is dragged from the back of the boat and only drag if you have an inboard engine
Such a tedious way of making a living
I used to do this when I was a teenager in Poole harbour it's very hard work
They've been doing this for years in poole harbour,i saw them doing it in the 80's,at the time i didn't have a clue what they were doing as i was only 12.
A lot of damage worms just fall off the hook when dredging for worms. it also puts a slurry muck on top of the ground in clay silt mud, Poole harbour has a lot of sand mix in the mud so it less of a problem
to me watching this, it looks as if he is doing a modern version of the course anglers idea of collecting blood worms and joker where we used to use a broom handle and a stainless steel blade to slice the layers of mud, his version is just larger with a boat
use some for carp in late spring , all through summer, totally awesome bait, pun intended, but yeah carp seem to love it
Carp on ragworm??
intersting stuff for sure. I was thinking like you, where are the fish? there should be shoals in there. The other thing is, is there any point using them for bait in that area because the fish don't seem to want them. The only reason I can think of is they are very deep but it doesn't look it. Food for though. thanks
Holes Bay is mainly mud and sand, so no marine growth to foul the bait drag. I used to use one the same on my previous boat, but since I got my Warrior 165 there's no way I'd use a bait drag, they do too much damage to the boat, can't help knocking the side of the hull occasionally.
Never seen anything like it. Lavli
Graeham how do you use rag worms without getting pinched, I’m losing out as all I’ll use is fish strips shellfish crabs or lug but never rag there painfull as I found out using first time sandown pier I.o.w never used since
They have been doing that for years in holes bay
At 4.42 Graham shows us a spare hook/rake on the bank for bigger worms.
You wont see him going anticlockwise Graeme..... He only has Sampson posts on his starboard side !!!! lol
This is exactly the same principle as scraping for bloodworm
What's that outro music called?
hey graham ive never heard of this before ..interesting ..buttttt ive heard when the fredgers come round felixstowe to keep depth for big container ships they pull up rag as thick or thicker than a finger..thats what ive heard but its been from ppl that tell how it is.
damn keyboard i meant dredgers lmao
I did wonder what a "Fredger" was ...sounds like some sort of Government official with a clipboard !!
Never seen this done before like
It a similar method for collecting blood worm with a flat bladed arm
Kind of similar to collecting bloodworm. You wade out and skim through the silt with a blade (a bit like a metal ruler) on the end of a pole, then tap all the muck into a floating riddle. The bloodworm then wriggle through the mesh into the collection chamber.
Always easy to know what bait you've got in our local shops, it's either prime hand dug or this shite!
it's not April yet ;-)
i have seen this guy before when i was down there
No, this was the first time I have ever been there.Took me a while to find as I don't know the area at all.
ill be fishing there end of march what would i likey see ?
Two boats going round in ever decreasing circles......I blanked on the fishing front.
stephen lumb un. M
Bloody good I think I will have a go at that in the rib will you try it Graham? I'm going to try and make something out of ree bar
Don't fancy it with my Bruce anchor and 17 feet of chain,but I reckon my boat could do a ripping circle at 25 knots. Ragworm would fly through the air.
Those ragworms look like centipedes mate. We don't have those in Hawaii
Pirate LeStrange they have like nippers two i dont like touching them lol
You probably do have them around. You just haven't looked for them.
So surprised they just dont break.
They are ok if you`re going to use them over the next day or so, but they don`t keep due to the stress and the damage caused to them.
You may be right there. Wifey just discovered half a pound in a bait box below the fridged lettuce and they were extremely dead.....As dead as a dead Parrot !....We had actually thrown out a big chunk of Brie thinking it was the cheese making the smell,but no,it was Ronnie the rancid Ragworm !!
Yes not good. I work in a tackle shop on the Isle of Wight and when we started up 5 years ago, we got in some dragged worm. It lasts no longer than three days, where as, good dug worm will go well over a week if looked after properly. Like I say, it`s fine if you`re going to use it quickly, but keeping it is pointless.
Have a good one ;-)
You shouldn't have thrown it out: it makes fantastic aftershave. Drives the ladies wild, I tell ye!
When i go fishing and things are a bit tricky i think to myself what would graeme do.
probably use a few more rods ;0)
Interesting. I’ve never seen such a method. It makes me wonder if there’s so many worms if the fish are sick of them? Or simply full?
Those worms presented in newspapers do look juicy and appetising. I’d actually be tempted myself!
I hope it not as environmentally damaging as Scallop dredging.
Similar to bloodworm scraping .
i agree, but me and you must be the only few that know what that is
What an absolutely fascinating video.
But,conversely,this video could harm those guys.
Only a matter of time before some commercial,bullshit buy up the rights,or through some snidey method,deprive these guys.
Just my cynical side Graeme,I understand the spirit you posted it in.
Been a registered viewer of yours since stealthcroft.
holes bay is ok fishing, small bass in summer and a few flounders in the winter.....ragg worms are obviously the best bait...there is not that much seagrass in there...in one area there is supposed to be a very deep hole...maybe thats how it got its name.
It got it's name from the holes left by people digging for bait,similar to Baiter.
They probably go clockwise because they are right handed - going clockwise puts the lines going out of the rear right corner of the boat, meaning that when they pull them in they can bang them on the stern right handed without turning.
Do you beer batter them too graham
Heat some extra virgin olive oil in a wok,add pepper,garlic and a dash of Cinnamon then dip each worm in some Bailey's Cream and flash fry for four minutes,turning lightly.When crisp,turn them out onto kitchen paper to remove excess oil then eat.You won't be seasick the next day as it will all be done the night before !!
(This is a joke people,just in case there are citizens that actually eat flash fried Ragworm)
TAFishing according to Wikipedia, local ragworms are eaten in Vietnam.....
TODD --- i been to vietnam ,,, mate , they will eat ANTHING !!! lol
paul davies the hungry/poor around the world have proven to eat varieties of stuff those with the funding to eat farmed livestock wouldn't consider....but yeah, S.E. Asians take it to another level. I haven't been to Vietnam yet, just Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand; can't wait to get back to the region....
I dont think the poor around here could afford to eat ragworm. Heston probably does it in his restaurant though!
$10 12 pieces in Long Island New York , wtf so expensive .
Just think how many are killed and sliced up in the process.
Some vid tha
Michael, do not the fish after all this time, not home in on this sea bed disturbance? I could imagine endless fish species taking advantage. Do guys not fish near those Draggers?
that's what I like to see.. another method that's in harmony with the sea bed etc.. wonder how marine growth such as grass etc that you mention stands up against this type of activity.. and you claim the Lamprey are the parasites!!.. still, almost as good as you in front of that green screen.. dont you get hot wearing that coat indoors!? haha.. what are you looking at each time you turn to face left at the end of the film!?
Just to the left is a monitor,I glance at it to see the next smart-ass comment coming in ! "Gimme those hands Hooper !....those are City boy hands !...and I'm talkin' bout SHARK fishing !!....Can you tie a Bowline Hooper !!!.......You goin in the cage ???....and the cage is goin in the water ???....Ahuh,and the Shark is in the water ??? .....................Farewell and adieu you fine Spanish ladies...farewell and adieu you ladies of Spain".... .....Great surname though,wish I had it...Graeme "Hooper" Pullen....then I could say...."I don't need this working class crap !!".(Sorry,I just watched JAWS too many times (Haha back)
**thumbs up**
fished in castle Beach.and around weymouth...locals keeps the bass places secrets fro. outsiders anglers...if you ask me that what they have going for them...shite waters boring fish
They'll curse the water if they go anti-clockwise. Traditional brewers who know their history will only stir the brew clockwise for same reason
Next time you go to fish in poole forget Holes bay head a little further to Poole Quay
5th woo
this is one boring sea to fish from.
first
Congratulations mate!
