- Опубліковано 8 жов 2024
- A beginners guide on How to catch carp on surface baits is exactly what the keen novice angler has been wanting for years. Now the world famous father and son fishing combination of Graeme & Mike Pullen have produced an action-packed film that should have you reaching for your fishing rods. Tackle consists of a rod, reel and a hook, but just wait until you see their success rate while fishing only a half day session at Zyg Gregorek's Angler's Paradise fishery in Devon. They use 1 1/4lb Avon rods and test out the new Tokushima HK4000 reel to devastating effect by landing 25 Carp, plus other species. And check out Graeme's pioneered "Pyramid Bait" consisting of a layer of bread flake in pyramid form. It is truly awesome. This is the ultimate "carp tips" film as Graeme reveals a couple of his most secret methods and baits for taking this sought-after species on the surface. Totally Awesome Fishing at it's best!

This is real fishing as are all of your videos modern carp angling with bite alarm has spoilt the fishing of today nothing better and more exiting than the basics of seeing the fish pick your bait up, loving the vids man
Mikes lucky to have such a legendary dad and what an angler you are Graeme! You’re a role model sir.
Thanks to this video I caught 3 totally awesome, 6/7 pound+ carp and my friend Ben caught a lovely looking mirror! Thanks for all your videos! As a 17 year old angler with all summer to fish I am really enjoying your channel and think its definately the best fishing channel on youtube :) keep it up Greame & Mike
Thanks Alex! We're glad the tips are helping you. Nothing quite like catching them on the surface, it's good fun and great on light tackle.
Just got into carp stalking a few weeks ago and this video was brilliant! GP taught me how to tie hooks and MP taught me how to use chum mix. I was over the moon with this. The bread bit was just fab. What a couple of really nice guys. You are both lucky to have such a nice dad and son
good job Thank you
Took the words right out of my mouth,great lads with enthusiasm in abundance..new subscriber!!
Tony Davis p
Just started carp fishing and need all the advice I can get , I think grahams a legend can’t stop watching the vids great work chaps love TA 👍
What an amazing video lads these little tips help me the dog biscuit trick is a classic I'm pulling 9-10 lb carp out like no tomorrow.keep these videos coming
Superb. Thanks Graeme and Mike. Totally immersed in this. Always learning...
Thanks for the good pyramid bait tactic now I can cast much more further than usual.
If the carp are not too big, say up to 10lbs,try a three foot length of 5/6lb fluorocarbon as a leader to the hook. Might make the difference. And try dipping the bait in a sweet flavouring to give it an edge. Good luck.
love your old school stuff,,,,,had my best ever day on surface fishing ,,,,,
Really helpful videos you have here. I've never fished for carp before, I'm gonna get my self some equipment in a week or so and go try out some of these techniques! Can't wait!
Yes, warmer weather is better. But I have also caught carp on floating baits well into October. Not on clear, cold nights, but low pressure/low cloud, which stops the air temperatures dropping too much.
what a great way to catch carp ever since I have been using this method I have had loads of carp. This is the proper way to fish.
The TAfishing guys use unflavoured dog biscuits but I find if you add brown sauce to the water it works better.
The pyramid bait is dynamite it works so well and I can cast it to where I want it.
Thank you Graeme and Mike.
(sorry if I spelt your name wrong)
You guys are so enthusiastic and work brilliantly as a team. Thanks for sharing and great tips 😀
Love these guys, so much enthusiasm, great tips for cheap fishing
This is one of my favourite videos! really enjoy fishing on the surface for carp!
I'm in France catching carp and catfish you really help my fishing and I love your videos
Loving these videos. Carp fishing is growing here in Canada. I have just started targeting them and can't wait to land my first.
great video lads. really enjoyed it and will be taking some tips from yous. cheers again
I don't know anywhere in the UK that lets you use bait for trout, its all generally fly only. No doubt trout will take virtually anything off the surface if you throw plenty in.If its allowed, I guess you could try it.Its used more for carp in the UK summer and autumn though.
haha still can't believe i bumped into you two on my holiday graeme my week was made fully after the sight of the ta team.
Filming with them yesterday and getting ripped up by powerful carp a lady behind us thought it was her phone ringing !! We even had barbel on them earlier today on the River Severn.Can certainly find no faults with them and they look like being our major reel for the future.Just waiting for the larger models to come in.
I believe they will be £59 retail. Will be on our site soon, plus we will throw in a Catfish DVD worth £9-99
Ive always carp fished with feeder or waggler rods guys too. i have carp rods ive tried, but much more fun and exiting times to be had on lighter feeder/waggler tackle than carp gear. my carp gear is catching dust in my cupboard lol. regards and tight lines : karl.
He's amazing. I was actually smiling watching this while taking notes..ha!
Carp LOVE popped popcorn. A bit difficult to keep it on the hook, but you can chum like mad for cheap. Another great vid my friends. \m/
A "pole" is a rod without a reel used primarily for match fishing in Britain.It has a piece of elastic which extends out to play the fish.No reel.A "spinning reel" was previously called a "Threadline" reel,then a "fixed spool" reel whereby the spool is fixed and a bale arm lays the line on the spool in an oscillation spread to ensure smooth casting.I don't know what a "conventional" reel is.Here in the UK a fixed spool,or spinning reel is the norm.They sell millions.The rod is standard too
Stock in right now,but flying out the door due to demand.T-shirts,Polo shirts,Hoodies. Go to our website and you'll see Mike in modelling pose with the whole range.Either get in touch with him,or go direct to the shop.We'll post straight out,and of course you get a free DVD as well.
Great Video as always I use a 5ft 6 pro am Shakespeare rod with an Okuma reel loaded with 6ib line and this landed me a 19ib mirror with your pyramid bait.
Keep up the good work and could you please do more vids about fishing streams
Graham, you should try bills farm fishery in Solihull. It is amazing for carp and roach. I recommend 6:30 pm bread fishing because the carp become very active and come to the surface. I've caught a 13.5 lb mirror carp with bread so I suggest it for you.
I've looked for this lake online as I live locally but can't find it, would it be wood farms on Bills lane?
Its one down at the bottom.Was it called the Koi lake ? Zenia could tell you.Plenty in it ,that's for sure.
Thanks for this video I usually catch 8-10 pounds now with these extra tips I've caught some over 15 !!!!
We have been authorized by the importer to sell them,but want to do giveaways as a bonus as well. Get in touch with Mike so your name is on the list .We showed the first ones to a tackle dealer yesterday and he was impressed by the smooth running.We nickname them the Tok4000.
Excellent video guys :-) I used bread, dog biscuits, fake baits, and marshmallows. Caught 29 carp between 2lb and 8 1/2 lb and 7 roach yesterday. Your putty trick worked a treat. Thanks for the video
paddy Homebrew That's a great catch. At many waters you can outfish regular baits with surface baits.As long as its not too windy. A deadly method, and visually exciting too.
Been again tonight and caught 17 carp 3 off the bottom and 15 on floating bread
Yes,we can sell them,but want to do a free DVD giveaway with them as well if we can.The importers say the first delivery is due in early September.But just get to mike with your contact first.We are starting to compile a list of people who want them.
We are just waiting for the first shipment to get in the country.Mail Mike on our website and whatever the final price is we'll let everyone know,plus make a great deal by throwing another item in as a special T/A opening offer.But we need a contact first as it looks like the first batch is going straight out the door.First come,first served.
Hi graham and mike! I love all your videos and they have helped me loads in all aspects of fishing! I have just purchased 2 avon 1 1/4 rods and a small fixed spool reel! I can't wait to try them out at the weekend:)
First time ive seen you guys and enjoyed the video, thanks for the tips & will be trying some out very soon, Cheers.
jomannhn Welcome to the Awesome Army!
A tip for you Graeme and Mike. I always carry sewing thread in my box these days in brown or black. If the carp are taking the mixer biscuits but not getting hooked. Take a 3 inch piece of thread, make it into a loop, tie the two ends to the bend in the hook, then you're left with a loop on the hook, pull the loop through a biscuit, then instead of putting a bait stop on, take the loop end and put it over the point of the hook, keep it tight and it won't come off.....if the loop is too long wrap it round the hook a few times. It normally lasts all day but as it's only thread it can rot so remember to check it regularly.
Thanks for the tips guys feel more comfortable now :) TAFishing
Another great video guys, I think you may have to get that there net sown to you though! Loved the rod dance on the double hook up
The whole point of stalking is that you move around, great commentry, great fishing.
your both the best fisherman ever keep up th good work im going in fishing Tuesday:-):-):-)
Totally Awsome !!! A very very nice fishery! Congratulations good folks !!!
here in the states we have a product called fun tac for hanging pictures on the wall i use it for the weight putty...
Check out our earlier films.I always filmed in a bright yellow sweatshirt and caught loads of different species.
really glad to see your knee is doing better
Great video, thanks for sharing! A question: I recently went fishing in the Netherlands and we found some lake with carp constantly hovering up on the surface. After 48h of using a floatbread-montage comparable to yours, we had zero bites (whereas at home that method works just perfect for me if they hover underneath the surface). I was wondering if you had any idea why that might be - after all, at some point, the fish would need to feed, right? We had literally zero action and the fish just passing by the hook over, and over, and over again...
I'm really new to fishing so could you do a video for all the beginners out there I would really appreciate it
Keep in touch with Mike via our website.Reels in the country in a couple of weeks.Rods we are just sourcing.
Love the vids guys, every one is long keeps me entertained😀😀😀
Thanks Jack, there's plenty of them !
thanks for tips going carp fishing in three weeks for 4 days will look into getting a J W Young 11ft Avon Quiver Rod
Another great video. Hoping to catch my first carp on friday.
Good luck!!
Hi graeme and mike I've always just float fished with maggosts for smaller fish like perch, roach, etc because I didn't think I could handle a carp (I'm only 11) when a seven pound carp took my 3 maggots and I put him in the net! learning new tactics for carp this video has been great thanks a lot. P.S do you know where I can get oe of those awesome tokushima reels I can seem to find them on the internet! Tight Lines Wet Nets
thanks alot guys helped alot defenatly subscribed
Thank you! What a show! :)
Can't wheat to tray the pyramid bait! Thanks all the way from Colima Mexico!
Here in Britain the marketing of a commercial ball of bait called a "boilie" has dominated carp fishing.Of course worms,bread,sweetcorn,maggots etc all catch carp,but like everything in the world its all about "selling".Boilies are easy to buy and use,earthworms you have to collect.They can't really be mass marketed easily.Shame,but that's the way it is over here.Worms are not banned here.Its just a popularity thing.A lot of anglers are now going back to "Old School" baits and methods though.
Some professional poses on your website by mike modelling the clothes hahaha nice one
Sometimes it's worth putting on a bubble float for some casting weight too, sometimes casting even a short distance can be tricky with only a hook.
Excellent vid guys really love all your helpful info keep up the great work
father and son fishing is there any better way to fish?........
i think not love fishing with my son
great work graeme and mike
reels look class and have a great ZIIIIINNNNGGGG!
another class vid! love the camera work when you zoom in/out and twist the camera :P good stuff!
I'm fishing my local river which holds a small head of carp - mostly common with the odd ornamental. I've caught 2 in about 12 evening sessions which is actually not too bad as a few friends haven't caught over multiple years and it is generally a difficult venue for carp. I caught one by offering loose feed (corn) to a swim which had a couple of carp moving around on the feed and I got them competing and eventually one took the bait on ledger tactics. The second I caught by returning to a swim I had previously fished about an hour or so before which had some leftover bait laying about (maggot) and saw a fish, kept it feeding, and again placed in a ledger and caught the fish.Sometimes you can locate the carp milling around and I now pre-bait the swims where I have searched for a fish but not found any - hopefully to come back to find them like with my second carp.
However, a lot of the time, the carp can be seen racing through the swim without stopping for loose bait. One took a piece of corn on the drop today as it passed through right on the inner margin below me at the same time as me throwing in some loose feed.
Has anyone tackled this fishing behaviour and have any tips please? I was thinking fishing on the surface may get their attention as they pass through my swim and hopefully take the bait as they swim past like they did with my bit of corn on the drop - or even hopefully stop them in their tracks and get them feeding.
They seem to stop and feed only sporadically.
Good luck!
Totally Awesome Video
I don't think colour matters.But sudden movement does
Just sounds like a mirror carp. They can be part scaled, fully scaled, or have a row of scales running along their back which we knew as a"Saddleback". I guess someone gives them another name nowadays.
Been watching your videos for a while now, think they are the best fishing vids on youtube. I like your philosophy , techniques and the humour! I've been away from coarse fishing for many years, but now enjoying going again and particularly trying out the methods that I've watched you using. This video is especially good, as over the last two weeks I've been trying for surface feeding carp with mixed success. Thanks for the tips and advice, I'm sure I can improve now!!!
sorry ignore my previous comment i was wondering whether you catch carp when the weather is warm because i have no luck surface fishing for carp when the weather is fairly cold and i would like to know if different weathers affect your surface fishing
Whatever the RRP is we will throw in something to make it a great deal.Mail Mike to get your name listed.we will contact you when they are in the country.
These are 25 years old, but modern similar Avon rods can be bought for around £50
Here in Canada, floating bait is as likely to catch a mallard duck as carp. Start throwing chum out and the ducks, geese, and sea gulls have a feast.
thanks for the tips
Superb vid mate!
great vid chaps ,,,,,,
hi guys was looking into buying one or two myself , they look great and i love the sound ! where do yous get them ? i cant find any online and the one or two i have wont ship to ireland! any recomendations? keep up the good work!
Hi guys, love the show! Always full of useful tips and tricks =]
Im looking to invest in a new reel at the moment and was wondering how you rated the Tokushima HK-4000?
At the moment my choices are either the HK or spend the extra and go for the Shimano Exage, whats your opinion?
Many Thanks
Paul
Yes we like the Tok 4000.Probably good in larger sizes as well. Has a nice tinkly drag which we like.
Don't know.We just call it the "small" carp net or our other is the "big "carp net.Not that I ever seem to find either very easily.I often wander all over the place and once I start looking for fish I'm in a different world.
Thank you ,i liked this alot guys .very well put together....ps all the best for christmas ;]
Thanks, Merry Christmas!
anyone know how to stop the floater material drifting back to your surface float as I seem to be always trying to adjust to straighten it out,
Another tip use chapstick or washing up liquid to keep your line on the top, you'll get alot more takes on pressured venues that way :)
Totally awesome
Love the show!
Great vid guys!!!
That very 1st carp you caught had some strange scale patterns, were they missing or was that just a normal pattern?
I realy enjoyed the video 😁
Great video (y)
Grate vid helped me alot Thanks
Not very big by today's standards I'm afraid.I never set out for big fish of any species,I'm just grateful for whatever comes along,then I know I won't be disappointed.Biggest carp for me is a 35lb Common from a river. Doesn't bother me one jot whether I catch a bigger carp or not.
i think you should buy anther landing net i watch your vidios all day i am disbled i do go fishing with a friend i do take your advice you and your sons thank you for the vidios thay are great good to see you are not selling some thing john nottingham
Nice videos you have here whats your PB for carp?
thanks for the help
You are f****ing brilliant mate
very good videos guys.
would love you to come to the north west buddy (wirral) we have some great venues and would be nice to meet u my friend. accomodation wouldnt be a problem bro]
Sprats, sprats and sprats.2nd place-Herring, then Smelt, sardines or small mackerel.
Wait till we load up a big pike on one....we aim to get that on film,then the drag will sound !
Only the poms can make fishing for carp seem uptight and regimented
give the boys some credit! Unlike their brethren they are holding a rod :)
This is fishing awsome
