Never ceases to amaze me what I learn (or remember from many years ago) watching your videos. Driving my Mrs mad coz once I start watching I can't stop.
Really enjoy watching your video's. Reminds me of fishing back when I was a kid, helping my dad make bread paste and pellet paste before going fishing the next day. I lost him 4 and half years ago and watching your style of fishing brings back many good memories of back when he was learning me how to fish. Love your content Graeme.
Another nice vid, you know l am one of the older anglers and watching the video,s here on UA-cam one nearly only see carp fishing l remember years age people made small films with roach, perch, Rudd, Barbel, chub, dance, or Grayling today we only see carp or pike, how the times change, regards Barrie
Again, Graeme pursues his quarry with practised strategies. Prudent reconnoitre of the lay of the land looking for fish & their possible locations reaped its rewards. An unfortunate Carp (hooked in the tail area) screamed "Not in the mouth! Not in the mouth!" Such a fortunate/unfortunate, well-educated & much-caught fish still fell to Graeme's skill. "Cast with Care" the sign said & Graeme did. The supply of maggots met the need. A small Pike met Graeme for the first time but perhaps, not the last time. Anything is possible. Looking forward to another TA video.
I'm 18 years old and for me fishing is all about the float, sitting on the chair staring at the float with excitement not knowing what's beneath it, then you see the float Bob and telling yourself to calm down and not get too excited, that's the beauty of it for me, stuff all this new technology sitting for a week catching one fish, I don't see the point? I go out fishing to appreciate every fish you catch little or big if you have light tackle you will have just as much enjoyment playing with a 10lb carp then a 20 or 30 lb carp on heavy tackle dragging them in, that's my view!
I agree completely. I'm 54 years old and love nothing more than to fish on a pole or rod and reel with a float and don't worry at all about what I catch. A day spent catching 40-50 silver fish for me is as fantastic as my brother who enjoys spending hours to catch one big carp.
Hi graham I have been watching you for a while and I love your videos and you make my day when I have a bad one keep it up mate good fishing . I’m into it and I’m 10 years old and my dream is going fishing with you
Great vid as always Graeme. You are the master. Always learn something new watching your videos.Todays lesson, don't put your pot of maggots between your feet or you'll kick them over haha.
I'm sorry Graham, but the state of that first carps mouth is the main reason I refuse to fish commercial carp waters and stick to what I'd call 'wild' fishing. Even a few gudgeon out of a stream is better than catching a carp with such a mangled mouth,
You are a twat! Graham is showing how to catch fish in very in very difficult conditions. Show us you are able to put down your can of tennents xxx and do better?
@@williamavery9185 Errrrrrrrmmmm... why are you calling me names and making assumptions about my lifestyle? I've made no reference to Graeme or his angling or video skills, just the state of the fish in that fishery. I'm a similar age to Graeme and have been fishing for over 50 years, it's my choice where and how I fish and that fishery is not somewhere I'd pay to angle. Others have commented on this thread about the shocking state of the carp in this fishery and others.. are we all twats? The more the issue of bad fish handling is exposed the more likely it is that anglers and fishery owners will do something about it.. or are they all twats as well?
There's one or two waters I've packed up going to because of the state of some of the mouths on the fish, I hate to see it and will not fish those waters any more.
Not fished for twenty years. It all got a bit wierd and over complicated. Thanks to you Graham can't wait to get started again. Will have to find my old Abu 507, can't wait! Cheers graham
Always insert waggler fish n i get best of everything with just sweetcorn n worm as hookbait we me own groundbait carp feed n hallibut pellets for me intended swim in any water thats all u need trust me 👍🎣
hi thankyou so much for showing me all the tips and tricks to fishing i will sure apply them next time i go fishing you have really helped me even though im only 12 and love fishing
Another good Friday night video Graeme, always a pleasure to watch. I'm waiting for the wife to go to bed now so I can watch Mortimer and Whitehouse which I recorded earlier. I love my Friday nights viewing. You should get a share of my licence fee.
Went to my local pond yesterday there was a match started when I arrived after watching the guy on the next peg pulling out bream roach and Rudd for around 4 hrs I was pretty much fishing the same margin without a single bite. So I threw some floating bread and straight away a carp took it so then I remembered the video by these guys on touch ledgering I set up with a size 12 hook and a single AAA lead weight within a hr I had 4 carp using this method 2 commons around 5-6 pound 1 mirror around 2lb and my personal best common pretty sure I hit the magic 10lb mark due to the fact I asked the guy catching what he thought he agreed. The only problem I had with this method is I kept forgetting to use my fingers to stop the line reeling of which caused me to keep getting tangled up with line going of so quickly and it being the second time fishing with 25 yr old tackle could do with one of your lucky hoodies and cap best fishing tips on you tube cheers fellas
Great video I learn lots from every video 📹 best fishing channel ever so much information anyone that comes across your channel could learn to catch their first fish on the first 20 minuets
A few years ago I was fishing a Fen Drain, 4lb line right through, something took my bait and felt like a rock on the end. Not knowing what it was(as there a BIG carp in there too) took it nice and slow, really pleasantly surprised to land a beautiful 1ib12oz perch, my personal best.
Hi Graham/Mike. That first small Common was in beautiful condition, best I've seen for a long time. But the next one, poor sod. I was fishing a local commercial recently, just chucking in a few bits of bread to see if anything was about, and 3 or 4 Carp moved in. Well one of them was so badly deformed it could not suck the bread in no matter how hard it tried. It upset me so much that I've never been back, it fact it almost put me off fishing altogether. I stick to Rivers now. What are your thoughts on how we could stop these fishes mouths from getting so damaged. is it simply stop fishing for them?
I honestly don't know whether it is done when they are say 1lb or so and are hauled hard to the net and then they carry that mark for the rest of their lives ? If a child broke a finger at age 7,then if not repaired it will still be broken at aged 77....Or it could be done at a larger size,say 6lbs or so,but my gut feeling is it was done when younger. I have caught a couple(could be same fish)so deformed it turned my stomach,and bear in mind I'm certainly not squeamish going shark fishing and chopping up dead oily trout.I had to unhook it with forceps as I didn't want to touch it. I don't think they repair the damage but I could be wrong...does anyone else have theories about it ??,as its fairly commonplace on a lot of places.
That's an interesting theory about being damaged when they were young. I've read a few things about barbless hooks not being all they are cracked up to be, and the argument makes some sense. I think once a barbed hook is in, it is going to stay there, but with a barbless hook during a 15 minutes scrap, is it going in and out all the time,making that tiny hook hole bigger and bigger? I'm no expert by any means, I just wish we knew the cause so that we could start to prevent it. PS, have you fished the Teme at all Graham/Mike? I'm having some good sessions on the Barbel so far this Season, and it's only a hop skip and a jump away from the Wye :-)
Im trying to look for your , raisin and bread? GB ,Blogs ! Keep up the great work, your vids are very infomative and the prood is you catch,Everytime .love em
Hey Graeme good to see your still enjoying yourself. Have you ever been to biggin lakes in oundle it’s a ggreat place for all species guaranteed to catch carp up to 30lb great tench perch and so on would be great to see you there it’s £5 day ticket the owners are always there giving good insight where to fish at different times of day no surface baits but you don’t need to it’s brilliant
Hi is this headlands fishery in wellow, near romsey. If so, I’m gutted as I live near there but chose to fish a different fishery yesterday. Would of been great to see you at my local lakes!
Hi Graeme, at 12.33 you talked about a BB hook, were you a little excited at this point or has smith put something in the tea. Great video, shows never to give up, and don't just sit there, but to change tack tics . Got to wait a whole week now for the next instalment.
Yes,only on the first day,but I had to change drifts,first 5 hours not a sniff.Soon as the tide changed I had a better drift. Tough fishing considering the amount of chum I came with. Seems everyone is out chasing the BFT's just behind the moored ships outside of Coverack. Massive schools of 500 strong I hear. Heard of one 350 on the radio though . Guy with a small boat next to me in the boat yard said he saw some come out the size of a small car.Seems outside and East of Coverack is the honeypot for those who are "spotting" them. Loads of common dolphin and the odd whale or three.I Did see monstrous flocks of Guillemots ? Not sure,but they could be into the thousands.I have never seen that many before. Only macks I could catch were on Sabiki rigs in over 200 feet of water. Home now,after a delightful 7 hour tow/diversion down the good old A303...never fails .
Graham, where has the video from a few weeks gone- with the red & white sweets? Saw it released at 7pm few fridays ago, went to watch the following day and gone.... wasn’t smith doing the uploading was it??
I have been hitting the wrong button a few times as now I am on my own I make mistakes,but that sweet one should still be up there ? I saw other comments on it recently.(I actually deleted an entire River Wye film with Barbel to 11lbs...one of my best sessions,so I am trying to be extra careful with the keyboard..guess it's age thing)
TA Fishing ok thanks, i’ll have another look in the playlist. I’m always re-watching episodes & picking up new tips 2nd time around. Just the weird bait shows are something else, chips, peas, raisons. Keep up the good & hard work G
Great video as always greame but that first carps mouth had clearly be destroyed by overfishing and bad angling. Almost glad you didn't hook the mouth, it appears that it's jaw could have ripped off. Good vid tho 👍
I’ve fished headlands twice (once on both lakes) and only had one carp out over two 24hr sessions. Can’t knock the fishery or the owners but seems impossible to catch even on method feeder and sweetcorn etc
Can I catch the fish if I see no fish bubbles? Here in North the lakes are still like dead and cold. I habe no clue where to throw my float... Anyone can gimme some tips? Any type of fish
There’s not much point in setting rules if you don’t choose to enforce them as a fishery. Sad to see fish with mouths in that condition. Love the channel, but will give this place a miss.
@@Mossy06 I dont see your logic..If you keep tension on the line it cant really move around and if you let the line go slack the fish easily spits out the hook in my experience. I think its just been caught loads of times in a small lake. Match lakes are full of fish like that. I think barbs would do more damage if the fish are being caught 2-3 times a week
That first Carp's mouth is in a terrible state. I've seen that damage so many times on commercial fisheries that I have stopped fishing them. I'll stick to wild rivers and streams.
I have most definitely caught more Carp off the top this year coupling floating crust with a waggler float....No question..I should have used it more years ago.
Graeme would it be possible for you to bottle up your skills and experience and send it to me as it would much improve this old boys fishing skills. Its not even as if you have the latest technology at hand and I love seeing that you don't even have an all sing dancing chair and rig set up. Keep doing what your doing as its enjoyable and informative to watch.
Luke Shaw-Mounsey Gareth Short Unfortunately it’s due to the elastic used in high pressure matches. We are currently conducting research on this at Brighton university. A constant pressure of a mono line is consistent, where as the elastic we have found creates the same pressure as almost 50 strikes during a 4 minutes fight. It’s similar to you keep pulling and letting go of the piece of skin between your thumb and the index finger. If you hold it at a consistent pressure it limits the pain. Keep pulling and letting go will cause damage. It is terrible to see fish in that condition.
Nobody seems sure nowadays. Latest thinking is that barbless might move around more,while barbed is at least in one spot. Jury is still out on that one.
Graeme , what's happened to the Plaice and bass fishing with Cpt Quint Comben this year ,I have had a gutfull of these pond Carp .Come on Graeme play the game .ha ha ha .
You need to learn the art of flake fishing..standard technique years ago..I was only shown a new way to fish flake last week and I've been doing it for over 50 years..always something to learn in fishing..method filmed soon..watch out for it haha
Graeme is the best fishing UA-camr in my personal opinion. Good video
by a mile, something for everyone and never acts like an expert or superior. down to earth and someone we would all like to spend a day fishing with.
easily
You sir, are a national treasure. I could watch your videos all day
I do, and that is the benefit of being retired.
Never ceases to amaze me what I learn (or remember from many years ago) watching your videos.

As long as the odd tip or two works for you that is what can turn a trip around.

"The first thing to do is kick the **cking bucket over...…" - love it!
14.05, I’m in stitches 😂😂😂 watched it over and over 🤣
after watching so many of your shows has made me get back into fishing again just love your shows its like when i used to fish in the 70s
I wish there were as many fish around as there was in the 70's...
Do love a Friday night vid always the best way to end the week

Correct I am afraid to say. The Carp are everywhere now and finding good mixed fishing is a rarity.
Again, Graeme pursues his quarry with practised strategies. Prudent reconnoitre of the lay of the land looking for fish & their possible locations reaped its rewards. An unfortunate Carp (hooked in the tail area) screamed "Not in the mouth! Not in the mouth!" Such a fortunate/unfortunate, well-educated & much-caught fish still fell to Graeme's skill.

There's one or two waters I've packed up going to because of the state of some of the mouths on the fish, I hate to see it and will not fish those waters any more.
Maybe turn it fish n take water. Lots of byers for carp, split lip or what.
Can’t beat this guys videos
Not fished for twenty years. It all got a bit wierd and over complicated. Thanks to you Graham can't wait to get started again. Will have to find my old Abu 507, can't wait! Cheers graham
Great video mate. Remind me of fishing when I was a young boy love float fishing it the best
Always insert waggler fish n i get best of everything with just sweetcorn n worm as hookbait we me own groundbait carp feed n hallibut pellets for me intended swim in any water thats all u need trust me 👍🎣

Not been fishing for a while. Mint video fella.
nice fishing Graeme, just goes to show what you can do with a simple waggler setup👍
Another great video what more can you ask for witt charm knowledge and great fish👌👍👏👏

Awesome video and great catches of fish and happy fishing 2021 is going to be a sensational year for fishing
Another great vid! Maybe a short one on how to look after fish? So we do not get the carp that had the bad lips?
Matthew Collins made a video on it, just type in 'How to handle carp" and it should come up 👍
Hi mate.....
Seen you on the A303 stuck in traffic today! I was like a bloody school kid when i saw you!
Just shows you what you can catch in 18 in of water...with little bait ..thanks for sharing Graeme

This guy always makes me laugh
Plz do more of these vids there amazing
Awesome fight with that big carp!
Where would you say is the best place to fish for carp in a pond
LifeOfCallum I’m no expert but carp cruise around there usually are carp all over
In the long grass behind you.
Hi is this headlands fishery in wellow, near romsey. If so, I’m gutted as I live near there but chose to fish a different fishery yesterday. Would of been great to see you at my local lakes!
where do you get them pellets and what are they called
I love this guy brilliant, no faffing about😊

Haha..a bb hook eh ?? ....maybe I should patent it...don't worry,the older I get the more weird comments you can expect.
love the content dude, keep it going
Anyone one know where this is?
nice vid' , thanks Graeme
great video
Thank you, Graeme.
They assumed you'd gone home 😂
Man you have some accuracy with that slingshot
That first carp has been caught a lot of times, Pete Burns lips
should be put out to retire poor thing
I hate seeing that 😔
simon grass But fishing is fishing there going to end up like that you can’t say you hate to see it when we all love doing it to them
Nice 👍 good catch and I like the flying perch 😅 happens to everyone 😂😂
Nice to meet you in Falmouth Graeme, did you get into any blues? Marcus
Yes,only on the first day,but I had to change drifts,first 5 hours not a sniff.Soon as the tide changed I had a better drift. Tough fishing considering the amount of chum I came with. Seems everyone is out chasing the BFT's just behind the moored ships outside of Coverack. Massive schools of 500 strong I hear. Heard of one 350 on the radio though . Guy with a small boat next to me in the boat yard said he saw some come out the size of a small car.Seems outside and East of Coverack is the honeypot for those who are "spotting" them. Loads of common dolphin and the odd whale or three.I Did see monstrous flocks of Guillemots ? Not sure,but they could be into the thousands.I have never seen that many before. Only macks I could catch were on Sabiki rigs in over 200 feet of water. Home now,after a delightful 7 hour tow/diversion down the good old A303...never fails .
I want to catch me a flying Perch 🤣👍🏼
Hi Graeme awesome video as usual.. Ohh I just found out a mate of mines step daughter is married to your son wow its defo a small world indeed..
Graham, where has the video from a few weeks gone- with the red & white sweets? Saw it released at 7pm few fridays ago, went to watch the following day and gone.... wasn’t smith doing the uploading was it??
I have been hitting the wrong button a few times as now I am on my own I make mistakes,but that sweet one should still be up there ? I saw other comments on it recently.(I actually deleted an entire River Wye film with Barbel to 11lbs...one of my best sessions,so I am trying to be extra careful with the keyboard..guess it's age thing)
TA Fishing ok thanks, i’ll have another look in the playlist. I’m always re-watching episodes & picking up new tips 2nd time around. Just the weird bait shows are something else, chips, peas, raisons. Keep up the good & hard work G

Roight I've arrived at a fishery
*Pauses video O_o
* NEXT HYPE!!
Can I catch the fish if I see no fish bubbles? Here in North the lakes are still like dead and cold. I habe no clue where to throw my float... Anyone can gimme some tips? Any type of fish
Haha he's absolutely brilliant his commentary has me in tatters
There’s not much point in setting rules if you don’t choose to enforce them as a fishery. Sad to see fish with mouths in that condition. Love the channel, but will give this place a miss.
Trevor Keating bet your maws hip lips look like that
Trevor Keating Don’t be so ignorant. Judging by your comment, It’s a strong possibility that you’re a contributor to this problem.
It's the barbless hooks they move round in the carp mouth an smash up there mouths it should be micro barbed only
@@Mossy06 I dont see your logic..If you keep tension on the line it cant really move around and if you let the line go slack the fish easily spits out the hook in my experience. I think its just been caught loads of times in a small lake. Match lakes are full of fish like that. I think barbs would do more damage if the fish are being caught 2-3 times a week
That first Carp's mouth is in a terrible state. I've seen that damage so many times on commercial fisheries that I have stopped fishing them. I'll stick to wild rivers and streams.
Hi your vids are class but stocked lakes are so bad for fishing because it’s so easy to catch fish
At times.
Epic battle
Seen plenty of carp with mouths like that.....something to do with the inbreeding, specially the F1's Graham. Enjoyed the video by the way 😁👍
Great video, Sir....learning a lot! Thank you and all the best!
What size hook and what pound line do you use
On average at various waters I would say 5lb line and size 12 hook would get both large or small fish.
Hah I keep kicking my Dads maggots over lol
Coolest pop on ytube love from SW Louisiana USA
18:51 that fishes lip is scared alot
Love it 👍
I do a lot of carping but I can’t leave the house with out a waggler and a tin of meat best way to fish I think
I have most definitely caught more Carp off the top this year coupling floating crust with a waggler float....No question..I should have used it more years ago.
TA Fishing Iv managed a few nice river carp on the top this year. Nothing massive but I won’t complain

Its not even as if you have the latest technology at hand and I love seeing that you don't even have an all sing dancing chair and rig set up.

fishing is not a sport,
its a hobby, check the videos out. Don't forget a good walk.....
I caught a 8 pound leather carp with a 16 hook shall i carry on or use a bigger one. Would appreciate responses from anyone who can help 👍👍
You did well,but a size 12 hook might get you the same or bigger as it should have slightly stronger wire.
TA Fishing thank you 😊
This place is too good, just beautiful fish, Congratulations. *Hug!!!* 👍🎣🐠🐟😎
Muppet
Catch and release is a bad idea in some cases, look at the state of the mouth of that first carp.
Gave up carp fishing, got fed up of seeing fish with smashed up mouths.
Try and stay away from waters that hold matches on them and the carp are in a lot better condition.

Unfortunately it’s due to the elastic used in high pressure matches. We are currently conducting research on this at Brighton university. A constant pressure of a mono line is consistent, where as the elastic we have found creates the same pressure as almost 50 strikes during a 4 minutes fight. It’s similar to you keep pulling and letting go of the piece of skin between your thumb and the index finger. If you hold it at a consistent pressure it limits the pain. Keep pulling and letting go will cause damage. It is terrible to see fish in that condition.
I gave up trout fishing in stocked waters, now find little streams and fish for six ounce brownies with a little four weight rod
@@annabeltheunicorn9374 exactly what I'm doing now!!
@@leeroy7848 what do you mean by elastic? a automatic hook set fishing pole?
Thanks GP. Set me up nicely just before my holiday ... 2 weeks without fishing how will I cope ?!!!
That fishery needs some serious maintenance. There must be a leak in that lake for it to have dropped that much.
One of my ponds is really dry at the moment.Hope it won't dry out like last year,but hear in the South we have not had much rain.
Noticed I this video all the carp seem to have a deformed mouth. Is this due to barb less hooks?? David B. Chichester 🤔
Nobody seems sure nowadays. Latest thinking is that barbless might move around more,while barbed is at least in one spot. Jury is still out on that one.
Graeme , what's happened to the Plaice and bass fishing with Cpt Quint Comben this year ,I have had a gutfull of these pond Carp .Come on Graeme play the game .ha ha ha .
In my experience, fish caught on "slow sinking bread" on waters that ban floating bread we're almost always caught on floating bread hahahahahaha
You need to learn the art of flake fishing..standard technique years ago..I was only shown a new way to fish flake last week and I've been doing it for over 50 years..always something to learn in fishing..method filmed soon..watch out for it haha
why don't you get a remote mic?????
Did very well considering it was tough day on the bank.
Something wrong with the mouth of that carp 😂
What's so annoying is everytime you get a take an advert pops up you can guarantee it everytime
I think an investment in a wireless livelier mic is in order soon rather than trailing that long wire around.
