This is the funiest video of fishing and i like it.We are realy obsessed with expensive tackle,long distance casting and gold boilies.He has common sense and brain about fishing.Thank for this video. :)
Got these thinking they were the slightly larger Panfish floats ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU recommend they work just fine. The smaller size lets me carry more in my tackle box, and the 3 color choices are nice for different lighting conditions, backgrounds, etc. They aren't the most durable things in the world. But, as cheap as they are, it's not heartbreaking to lose one or have to replace a worn one. The price on these fluctuates wildly, from about $9 to almost $16. So, time your buy accordingly.
Great video - gave up fishing in 1999, after spending about £4,000 on Carp gear. Started again this year (aged 60), back to light, simple, basic tackle and baits. Enjoying fishing more than ever.
I've spent less than £200 on my whole setup which covers Pike fishing too in the winter, went out for 2 hours on Saturday and landed 2 nice carp nearing 20lbs and a medium tench. I always chuckle to myself when i see these pro carp anglers camping out all day and night and not getting a bite.
I've only been fishing for two years and I just love float fishing. Really often on my local commercial me and my son are up to 8 and 10 fish respectively after a couple of hours and the people fishing with the beeper things are still waiting. Float fishing is more active and, for me, more fun. Thanks Graeme for another great video!

Nice video! My cousin fishes in this style and we had a great day last week. 3x 12Ibs carp, 2x 8Ibs carp and bunch of others including a 8Ib chubb. All on a £35 rod & reel combo set! There were about 5 other guys there that caught nothing all day casting out with ££££s of gear! Got me addicted, I'm off this weekend for a bit of float margin fishing, lovely!
Graeme Thanks for another great film. Also for showing every one how you can catch lovely fish on a budget. It's how I started carping and I still prefer it to all methods. Please keep making the vids.
So happy for this video... Taking up carp fishing for the first time in next few months, and got so confused by all the other videos.. Would have had to take out a second mortgage.
we went carp fishing yesterday and used the same ground bait as he does and i used a few of the (super duper) hot dog segments on my hook with fantastic results, caught twice as many as i normally do... great video and tutorial!
I am still fishing like I did when I first start out, just normal a simple 10 foot float rod with a simple float set up or simple method feeder set up and a 12 foot feeder rod and simple baits such as sweetcorn, maggots, bread and worms. I enjoy the simple fact about watching the rod tip or float just going round or under and not even knowing the size or what species of fish is on the end of the hook
How can it be inadequate if we caught a load of fish on it, pretty much as fast as we could cast out ? In fishing there is no "correct" method.The only correct method is the one that catches the fish on the day. I would use a straight loaded stem float for roach, but what happens when a carp/tench/bream takes it under ? Do they not count as they were on an "incorrect" float ? Our aim was for youngsters to have a heavy enough float not to tangle .I use Avon floats for everything.
Bread and bran work right through the winter.We had some carp a few evenings ago on it,breadflake as bait. Occasionally get to Surrey.We did a couple of films at Old Bury Hill Lake,but don't know many other good places,only Willinghurst,which is quite expensive.
Graham have you been watching me fish lool that's how I fish mate and you can't beat it. Wish more people fished this way. Anyway love all your vids and your humour keep em coming Graham big fan.
Great graeme . very much needed video and message . people getting wrapped up in nonsense become disillusioned and quit . happened to me and I was aware it could happen . keep up good work : )
Got to agree i started out catching ity bitty little bluegill and i really appreciate even the small carp. I hope carp fishing starts getting the attention it deserves here in the states soon
@TheExtrem31 Thanks for the kind comments. The missing ingredient from your list is rough dry bran from agricultural suppliers for use as horse feed. Phill
Well done,nice to know others are using the same method .Quite satisfying when you see others asleep on their bedchairs catching nothing ! Here's a tip. Find a bush but bait both sides of it,then when you have netted a fish you can go round the other side and catch while the first swim calms down ! Good,and keep watching the films,more planned.Graeme
thanks for the hook tips.im from owen sound,ontario,canada and we have lots of carp in the harbor.its so much fun,i dont know why more people fish for them.last summer i caught a 50 pound monster.
A great lesson on how to float fish for carp I'm impressed. I'll be trying your methods out. Hope they do the same for me on a cannal like they did for you on a lake. Good job!!!!!
I'm a 16 year old boy and I agree with you on starting small, I started fishing from a young age for trout and gradually increased the size of the fish I went for (I still go for smaller fish occasionally) and my friends I go with have bought all the gear and have no idea what they are doing and it's damaging the fish and they don't learn as well also they dont have as much appreciation for the fish they catch, and they ask me why I catch more and they have no watercraft just the posh tackle
nicely explained. I used to catch carp outside Montreal city, Canada and they are big dandy over 20lbs and the most successful is McDonald Fires and they are wild carp in the river rapids we caught. no flot, just through with the weight and the bait lays on the bottom. Now I will try with different way, may be with float in British Columbia(mostly smaller carps, but some lakes has dandy one
Glad you enjoy the tips. Man...if carp fishing ever takes off like it has in the UK there will one huge amount of business to made with all the tackle and bite alarms etc. Enjoy that natural fishing before it all gets changed to the boring way of sitting by bite alarms etc,I reckon its coming and someone will develop big money prizes as well. Like the Bass Tournaments.
@@joshplays3494 If it’s so boring why do so many people do it? I have better things to do than pasty bashing in shit hole day tickets to catch tiny fish that you can only feel sorry for because most of them are missing half their mouths. Specimen hunting is far from boring, it’s totally encapsulating. Easy fishing like this is unsatisfying and tedious after 2 fish. I’ll stick to 10 a year on a beautiful syndicate. You stick to catching 35 washed out carp a day from a muddy puddle.
first time i have seen this and i love it, my way of fishing! back to basics and away from the carp tackle you need to catch carp or you wont catch them! lol ive been usin hot dog sausage for yrs since about 1996 and looks like my secret is out :) the reason i use it is because it is kept in brine (salt water) and we all know fish love salt plus it has meat flavor and if i get hungry well i do take a couple of tins!, if only tackle shops advised on basic gear and not their profit! never happen.
In US this is what I use. I have a medium action rod cost about $25. 10lb test line, 1oz egg slip wt, swivel, size 6 hook. Where I live you can only have 2 rods. One out about 30 yards. One out about 20 yards. I hook up on carp all day in the states. They are an absolute blast to catch! Mirror Carp are not as feisty as common carp and you can usually tell which one you have. The more you spend I do agree the more you can catch. But My gear is bought which is about $100 in total. $1 in corn a full day of fun 😁
Take a look at some of the other freshwater videos on this site - grayling, golden tench, schelly, sturgeon, asp, peacock bass .... the list goes on, plus of course all the marine species. Carp are popular fish with a lot of people, but as you say, not the only fish.
Sadly carp fishing has become some kind of a cult. A competition of who has the most expensive tackle, the most tackle, who can cast the farthest, the most cap caught, etc. I think Korda’s videos and the like has a lot to do with this! I keep things simple and enjoyable, ignoring anything in the press or from these tackle and bait companies.
@IIEnZoo From memory it was just rough bran with perhaps some sweetcorn and hotdog segments in it. It should tell you the exact composition in the video. Phill
I love the part where you are juggling 2 rods, reminds me of a few times I have been catfishing had 2 rods with fish on at the same time. I just did find a lake near me full of carp, I think I am going to try and give your methods a try and if they work there for the carp and if they do I will take my kids because I know they will have loads of fun.

Size 8 hook with bread or sausage and budget pack bait is a legendary. Thanks for your sharing!
@IDACism Rods and reels these days are all pretty good. Any rod with a 1.25 lb test curve, and any small fixed spool reel with a nice smooth drag and line capacity of 100m or more of 8 lbs line should be fine, which is most reels. But you may need to get one with a shallow spool to bring the line up to the top to aid casting. Fladen do some nice rods and reels. Note that specific information on tackle choice is actually given in the video. Regards, Phill.
You just can't beat an Avon rod, I've got 3 of them and use them for carp and tench. Great vid as usual Graeme and love when you jumped over to grab the other rod. All your vids have some laughs in them.
@scottyc07 Apologies for the delay - just back from the US. There are no secret ingredients. Across all the carp videos we have only used maggots, bread, sweetcorn and hotdog sausage segments, with the same ingredients, plus some bran as loose feed or ground bait. All simple available stuff. And that goes for the next carp video which may well go live this weekend entitled Freelining For Carp where we use bread and dog biscuits..
hehehe, Sir , i love your videos , got from you lots of fantastic tips wich got me lots of fish:P , in special carp and tench . ive learned from you to mix up things like cat food , tuna in water , bread ,corn and hot dog segments.Had such nice fishing since i've seen your vids.one thing i'd like to say more , at some moments , when i've made a mix of this i also could see how crazy they will go for it . I could see the water like it had a war under the surface . Really amazing and the thing that made the difference it was the tuna in water mixed with bread and cat food ( some salmon thing that smells like fish ) At the water i use to go this combination drives them crazy , thank you. Also in this way i've got my bigest roach ever close to 22 cm . :D
Great video. I am from the US and I Carp fish in the Ohio River, I just use a trusty zebco 33 or zebco 808. Never use anything fancy. And for bait I buy a box of Wheaties for 3 USD and make wheatie balls. Next time you go out, try a box of wheaties... just grab a handful and submerge for about 15 seconds in water...then mash up..let sit for about 2 to 3 minutes then tear off a little bit to put on hook. I am going to try your bait concoction next time out.
Great vid chaps! I've had a few days afloat with Phil fishing for smoothounds (scousers aboard My May), he gets more carp than hounds thats for sure ;) will give your tactics a whirl. P
Excellent vid. Much more enjoyable catching good carp on float and a medium set up. When you have a rod set up with umpteen Lb breaking strain, umpteen Lb test curve and a reel that could tow a landrover, It somewhat takes the sport out of it. I've sat on Lakes many a time and watched a guy on the other side cast a bloody great lump of lead right across to the opposite bank ! What's the point, just fish close in on the other side and keep quiet. I find it more exciting seeing a float slip away
Pedigree chum mixer biscuits,soaked so they go soft and expand,or plain floating crust an inch square.Use around a size 6 or 8 hook.No huge float controllers ,an ordinary waggler will do,but make sure you throw enough in to get them going. Should have a 3-part DVD coming out soon and it will reveal a brand new way to trick carp on floaters.Never been filmed before.Good luck.
Graeme Pullen is a joy to watch....we've been using the bread/bran/corn chum suggestion as well as some other tactics mentioned on the 'Totally awesome fishing show' and we've been having a blast this summer catching carp in our urban lakes (mostly grass carp/amur .....but with a few commons). why this morning, i pulled in two grassies....one about 7 pounds, the other about 15 pounds on a lite rod and 6lb test....and i'm with James....i too hope that carp fishing gets more attention in the USA.
@teamparkside It's called a float adaptor, with a ring on which you thread your line through, shots either side and push waggler float into rubber tube on other end.
No,Ready Brek on its own is a binding agent like porridge oaks.It goes gluey,but its good mixed with bread,a bit of bran and the ready brek will bind it a bit more.Better if you are throwing our further. Good Luck-Graeme.
We don't exactly get two at a time every trip,and we were only using one rod each.The other was by Phil's feet,but where he was looking through the lens he never saw the float go.
With locking shot either side of the bottom eye on the float you slide them both either up or down to get your depth right. Every time you move swims or cast to different areas you should really use a plumb weight to get your float set at the right depth.Ask your local tackle dealer to show you how to plumb the depths properly.Its better seen than described.Good Luck-Graeme.
@DavidKedd It's not something we've ever considered, for although there are a few Carp in some of quieter stretches of some rivers, nobody here in the UK bothers much with them preferring to fish still water lakes. One potential drawback in running water would be drag lifting the bread bait and possibly even tearing it from the hook. But you could try, and maybe surprise us with the results. Phill
Hes talking more about "kids" aka 20+ year olds. Most 14 year olds dont have thousands to spend on gear. I know for a fact most 20+ year old carp fishers spend an arm and a leg on their gear.
i was fishing close in on lake balaton my float went down a striked(the best about close in is you don't have to fight the fish that much)and i cauoght a 12,4 kg carp thx for the tip man
Not really I personally have caught 28lbs 5oz on bottom in the UK and 49lbs 8oz in France none of them fish come close but saying that it was impressive
Harry Hughes yea but if u use 2 grains of sweet corn all day u r catching 100 small fish and every 10 fish is a carp and u still have a chance when every single fishermen is finished where does he throw his bait right in frot of him u do the same then cast a rod there i had a 42lbs uk carp on a float with this method from a friends sidicate lake i was packing away and do it alm the time last cast ia in front of me try it
@Dycepticon Agricultural bran is used for horse feed and is available at suitable agricultural suppliers. The hotdogs sausages or Frankfurters are the cheapest you can find on any supermarket shelf. Phill
@armaildo3 I had a word with Graeme who demo's the fishing on the film, and he says...... "no,it needs to be a slender float to offer the least resistance to a fish.a bobber has too much resistance.use a straight waggler ,not bodied and taking about 3bb shot". Regards Phill
@johnmall57 5 pounds of pressure on a fish, any fish, is a lot. They can handle it in short bursts. It's sustained pressure that turns their heads and beats them. The problem is the sudden unexpected short bursts. But not if you set your drag correctly. Fixed spool drags vary - some are in the centre of the spool; others at the back of the reel. Back this off until you can snatch pull line from the spool without it breaking. Phill
one of my favorite methods for this is using a 20 ft. telescopic cane pole(no reel) with 10 to 20 lb. test(U.S.)line, with a stand up float made from a drinking straw(using needle nose pliers and a lighter). hook size optional, depending on size of bait...for grass carp...we don't have the regular kind in South Florida, unfortunately.
Graeme your an absolute legend love you buddy .great entertaining videos always you eat a lot of beans and sausage so watch your diet .try something different ,pasta tuna salad will give you energy and vital vitamins and protein.goodluck and I'm going onto your next video with keen anticipation😁👍😎
definitely agree with you, although its nice to catch big fish i'd rather catch a 10lb on the float than a 20lb on a boilie and way to much emphasis is put on having the best tackle!
I’m starting again, 62yrs old great for me no complicated rigs, thanks for a really good video
This is the funiest video of fishing and i like it.We are realy obsessed with expensive tackle,long distance casting and gold boilies.He has common sense and brain about fishing.Thank for this video. :)
Got these thinking they were the slightly larger Panfish floats ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU recommend they work just fine. The smaller size lets me carry more in my tackle box, and the 3 color choices are nice for different lighting conditions, backgrounds, etc. They aren't the most durable things in the world. But, as cheap as they are, it's not heartbreaking to lose one or have to replace a worn one. The price on these fluctuates wildly, from about $9 to almost $16. So, time your buy accordingly.
What I've learned is if the ol' boys are giving fishing advice, you listen.
Great video - gave up fishing in 1999, after spending about £4,000 on Carp gear. Started again this year (aged 60), back to light, simple, basic tackle and baits. Enjoying fishing more than ever.
Clive Sinclair me too in 2004 back at it now
4000 EURO!!, ARE YOU CRAZY MATE
I've spent less than £200 on my whole setup which covers Pike fishing too in the winter, went out for 2 hours on Saturday and landed 2 nice carp nearing 20lbs and a medium tench.
I always chuckle to myself when i see these pro carp anglers camping out all day and night and not getting a bite.
Same as me

Some very wise words from Graeme in the introduction. An entertaining and intuitive video. Thanks for posting !
Graeme Thanks for another great film. Also for showing every one how you can catch lovely fish on a budget. It's how I started carping and I still prefer it to all methods. Please keep making the vids.
This guys amazing I started float fishing with my grandad sadly he’s gone now
Wanna the best fishing commentaries I have watched, very helpful and clever!
This is great stuff thank you! straight forward and basics. Here in the colonies folks just starting to wake up to the sport again.
I really enjoyed this - I'm a starter and found this to be informative, anti-bullshit and fun. Nice one mate, great post
watch totally awesome fishing for the presenter gl

I am only twelve but I respect these men so much. Me being a extremely keen fisher I also believe in keeping it simple. Good job.

How can it be inadequate if we caught a load of fish on it, pretty much as fast as we could cast out ? In fishing there is no "correct" method.The only correct method is the one that catches the fish on the day. I would use a straight loaded stem float for roach, but what happens when a carp/tench/bream takes it under ? Do they not count as they were on an "incorrect" float ? Our aim was for youngsters to have a heavy enough float not to tangle .I use Avon floats for everything.
True OG, dives for the second rod like a boss
Bread and bran work right through the winter.We had some carp a few evenings ago on it,breadflake as bait. Occasionally get to Surrey.We did a couple of films at Old Bury Hill Lake,but don't know many other good places,only Willinghurst,which is quite expensive.

Your videos the best mate! I love the fact that your promoting this style of fishing. Keep up with the videos im subscribing!
I did that mix and it worked a treat beat my personal best with it thanks for sharing the video
thanks for the hook tips.im from owen sound,ontario,canada and we have lots of carp in the harbor.its so much fun,i dont know why more people fish for them.last summer i caught a 50 pound monster.
Just shows and proves that a standard set up lands big round numbers! Love the video ...
Is this dry bran mixed for ground bait can anyone confirm please. Thanks
+Jay J yes
ok thanks for all your help im going carp fishing today with your methods:)
All you need is simple good value tackle folks, simple bait, and a quality carp net, sling and care equipment.
A great lesson on how to float fish for carp I'm impressed. I'll be trying your methods out. Hope they do the same for me on a cannal like they did for you on a lake. Good job!!!!!
proper angler you mate, striking another rod while already havin a fish on. great video
Love pullens no nonsense fishing
I'm a 16 year old boy and I agree with you on starting small, I started fishing from a young age for trout and gradually increased the size of the fish I went for (I still go for smaller fish occasionally) and my friends I go with have bought all the gear and have no idea what they are doing and it's damaging the fish and they don't learn as well also they dont have as much appreciation for the fish they catch, and they ask me why I catch more and they have no watercraft just the posh tackle
@BmxTrixs
Graeme's advice is to keep the hook point buried.The meat in a hotdog is so soft it will pull through on the strike.
i love this simple fishing.
its cheaper, easier and much more fun!!
nicely explained. I used to catch carp outside Montreal city, Canada and they are big dandy over 20lbs and the most successful is McDonald Fires and they are wild carp in the river rapids we caught. no flot, just through with the weight and the bait lays on the bottom. Now I will try with different way, may be with float in British Columbia(mostly smaller carps, but some lakes has dandy one

that fishery looks like willinghurst pittance lake in Guilford shamley green great work lads tight lines
Great video. I am from the US and I Carp fish in the Ohio River, I just use a trusty zebco 33 or zebco 808. Never use anything fancy. And for bait I buy a box of Wheaties for 3 USD and make wheatie balls. Next time you go out, try a box of wheaties... just grab a handful and submerge for about 15 seconds in water...then mash up..let sit for about 2 to 3 minutes then tear off a little bit to put on hook. I am going to try your bait concoction next time out.
Thanks for the tips will start using um myself in future I like the light tackle to I've had some good battles with um
Great vid chaps! I've had a few days afloat with Phil fishing for smoothounds (scousers aboard My May), he gets more carp than hounds thats for sure ;) will give your tactics a whirl.

Excellent vid.
Much more enjoyable catching good carp on float and a medium set up.
When you have a rod set up with umpteen Lb breaking strain, umpteen Lb test curve and a reel that could tow a landrover, It somewhat takes the sport out of it.
I've sat on Lakes many a time and watched a guy on the other side cast a bloody great lump of lead right across to the opposite bank ! What's the point, just fish close in on the other side and keep quiet.
I find it more exciting seeing a float slip away
Baits can be used at any range providing the loose feed is in the same spot. The margins though are often very good for Carp
Thanks for the tip on hotdogs i caught a 14.6 lb carp yesterday :)
Been fishing like this for years. Relaxed traditonal fishing.
Pedigree chum mixer biscuits,soaked so they go soft and expand,or plain floating crust an inch square.Use around a size 6 or 8 hook.No huge float controllers ,an ordinary waggler will do,but make sure you throw enough in to get them going. Should have a 3-part DVD coming out soon and it will reveal a brand new way to trick carp on floaters.Never been filmed before.Good luck.
Graeme Pullen is a joy to watch....we've been using the bread/bran/corn chum suggestion as well as some other tactics mentioned on the 'Totally awesome fishing show' and we've been having a blast this summer catching carp in our urban lakes (mostly grass carp/amur .....but with a few commons). why this morning, i pulled in two grassies....one about 7 pounds, the other about 15 pounds on a lite rod and 6lb test....and i'm with James....i too hope that carp fishing gets more attention in the USA.
@teamparkside It's called a float adaptor, with a ring on which you thread your line through, shots either side and push waggler float into rubber tube on other end.
A place called Willinghurst.Think its somewhere in Surrey. Should have a website, but I have not been there for a while, so no idea how its fishing.
No,Ready Brek on its own is a binding agent like porridge oaks.It goes gluey,but its good mixed with bread,a bit of bran and the ready brek will bind it a bit more.Better if you are throwing our further.
Good Luck-Graeme.
We don't exactly get two at a time every trip,and we were only using one rod each.The other was by Phil's feet,but where he was looking through the lens he never saw the float go.
With locking shot either side of the bottom eye on the float you slide them both either up or down to get your depth right. Every time you move swims or cast to different areas you should really use a plumb weight to get your float set at the right depth.Ask your local tackle dealer to show you how to plumb the depths properly.Its better seen than described.Good Luck-Graeme.
@BmxTrixs
Bran is all we've ever used for what was being demonstrated. The only other alternative is coasre ground bread feed.
@DavidKedd
It's not something we've ever considered, for although there are a few Carp in some of quieter stretches of some rivers, nobody here in the UK bothers much with them preferring to fish still water lakes. One potential drawback in running water would be drag lifting the bread bait and possibly even tearing it from the hook. But you could try, and maybe surprise us with the results.

I am 14 years old, never wanted to catch anything big, just have fun and catch beautiful fish. Not all kids are the same grandpa
Hes talking more about "kids" aka 20+ year olds. Most 14 year olds dont have thousands to spend on gear. I know for a fact most 20+ year old carp fishers spend an arm and a leg on their gear.
ive just watched it a couple of times, and learned something new. where i fish i often catch realy close in, in 2 or 3 feet of water,
Ahh Mr totally awesome fishing from TA fishing channel
Been out of the country so only just got your message....
Willinghurst,Guildford,Surrey, UK.
really enjoyed this. thanks
i was fishing close in on lake balaton my float went down a striked(the best about close in is you don't have to fight the fish that much)and i cauoght a 12,4 kg carp thx for the tip man
10/10 he puts the bottom feeders to shame lol
Not really I personally have caught 28lbs 5oz on bottom in the UK and 49lbs 8oz in France none of them fish come close but saying that it was impressive
Harry Hughes yea but if u use 2 grains of sweet corn all day u r catching 100 small fish and every 10 fish is a carp and u still have a chance when every single fishermen is finished where does he throw his bait right in frot of him u do the same then cast a rod there i had a 42lbs uk carp on a float with this method from a friends sidicate lake i was packing away and do it alm the time last cast ia in front of me try it
@@streamfishinginsurreystrea962 That’s a lie 😂🤡
@Dycepticon
Agricultural bran is used for horse feed and is available at suitable agricultural suppliers. The hotdogs sausages or Frankfurters are the cheapest you can find on any supermarket shelf.

AWSOME video mate
@armaildo3
I had a word with Graeme who demo's the fishing on the film, and he says......
"no,it needs to be a slender float to offer the least resistance to a fish.a bobber has too much resistance.use a straight waggler ,not bodied and taking about 3bb shot".
Regards
Phill
@spongeyv1
Bran is sold usually by agricultural suppliers, primarily for use as horse feed.

@johnmall57
5 pounds of pressure on a fish, any fish, is a lot. They can handle it in short bursts. It's sustained pressure that turns their heads and beats them. The problem is the sudden unexpected short bursts. But not if you set your drag correctly. Fixed spool drags vary - some are in the centre of the spool; others at the back of the reel. Back this off until you can snatch pull line from the spool without it breaking.

GREAT VIDEO! its good to see the old way cuming back keep the good wrok up
one of my favorite methods for this is using a 20 ft. telescopic cane pole(no reel) with 10 to 20 lb. test(U.S.)line, with a stand up float made from a drinking straw(using needle nose pliers and a lighter). hook size optional, depending on size of bait...for grass carp...we don't have the regular kind in South Florida, unfortunately.
Great stuff! cant beet the old tactics.
very nice video sir :) greetins from Slovakia
Graeme your an absolute legend love you buddy .great entertaining videos always you eat a lot of beans and sausage so watch your diet .try something different ,pasta tuna salad will give you energy and vital vitamins and protein.goodluck and I'm going onto your next video with keen anticipation😁👍😎
definitely agree with you, although its nice to catch big fish i'd rather catch a 10lb on the float than a 20lb on a boilie and way to much emphasis is put on having the best tackle!
Well done mate. Keep it simple.
Thanks for the help. Great video
