EPIC PREDATOR FISHING | Down the Drain
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- Epic predator fishing for pike down a drain. Following on from Part 1 where Graeme made some Totally Awesome fishing lures out of vintage teaspoons and then caught fish on them. He returned to his car for food and was amazed to find a section of the lower river had totally changed in height by the effect of an incoming tide. He made a change to a Shad -style deep running lure, and fishing it back using his usual "twitched deabait" technique he got absolutely hammered by Pike, ironically in exactly the same spot where he caught no Pike earlier? The teaspoon was put on the back burner as he feverishly got in as many casts as he could at the end of a blustery day..it really was "Epic action down the drain". Enjoy PART TWO...

It's like you made it for me im learning perch and pike fishing
I've been following your fishing show for years - still totally love it - brilliant job! Is there any chance you could do a primer on Pike fishing for beginners using minimal expensive tackle? I've got a strong telescopic travel rod which my local tackle shop said I could spin with, but I have no idea about what line to use and what leader I need. My dad is an engineer and he's going to make some spoon lures for me in his workshop.
All the best,
Joanne
Graham there’s an even better spot 5 mins away from there buddy
LOL,
Graeme “you need local knowledge”
Tackle shop guy “fish by the sluice”
Graeme “I’ve moved away from the sluice further down river”
Gotta love him
I got nothing by the sluice....not a sniff...all further downstream.But obviously I tried the sluice part first..guess they just weren't at home there on the day..I tried a few casts right at the end..also nothing.
I'm one of the lower stour bailiffs. It tends to fish best on a dropping tide. The fish become very lazy with minimal water movement.
I’m holding my rod out, not trying to be a complete twat 🤣🤣🤣 god I love Graham 🤣 makes me chuckle 🤭
17 minutes ago absolute score what a video to watch while I set my gear up for a day on the water 🤙😂
Great to see your videos again, I'm amateur fishermen, only in spare time because off work... , and watching whit pleasure your work. Hat down for you Mr. You're a great man 👏👏👏
Bleak landscape, brooding skies and the possibility of monsters - perfect piking day.
Terrific Graeme well done..and fun.
I keep a umbrella in my back pack with fishing gear in. People always laugh because it's been in there since my youngest son was 5, he just turned 18 now- oh yea , it's a Spider man umbrella , lol. Nice fishing Graeme, catching like are fun.
Wow! That was “Totally Awesome “ Graeme! Good good deal buddy! Keep up the good fishing and tight lines to you! 👍👍🤘✌🏻
Ive always said you were a dedicated camera man, if i had that fish on the camera with the audio cable would have been on the ground lol
Good to see you out Gramen always gives me the push to get out and do a bit,Michael channel just keeps getting better and better great service you both put in.Have to thank you both.
No problem,we both like doing the filming and it keeps me off the streets...
It’s minimally tidal - it leads into the parrot that is very tidal, such great fishing all over Somerset
This deserves way more likes!!
Thanks for another amazing session Graeme, felt as if I was right there on the edge of the drain with you. :D
Super dooper session
Paid holiday off work, then this. Living the life, me and you both Graeme😉😂
Nice pike Graeme. Smith here, well above the drain and happily casting the fly rod for big steelhead and brown trout.
We all need to put some money into the coffer so you can get one of them fancy wireless RODE microphones that people use.
12:12 yank it and out and pull it deeper in the slags 😂😂. The legend that is Grahame pullen 2020
Listen closely
Well in Graham, never doubted you one bit. Some cracking fish there. Thanks for another vid to keep us all entertained.
Take care mate
Rubberised landing nets worth their weight in gold for lure fishing
They are good, but I prefer one with a more rough (is that correct?) material with a little bigger meshes. If the the treble hook is stuck in the net, its much easier to get it out. Simply twist the line and the fibres open up. Rubber is better when it comes to not smelling. (forgot the net in my car one day, my wife loved it!)
@@robertjanko6709 tbf I've not had a treble stuck in a properly rubberised mesh. There's no fibres to pierce
@@scottwalker6257 - agreed, rubberised mesh is a no brainer.
Hi Graeme,
These last 2 videos were great.
There was something very raw, pure and basic about them that simplified fishing and it was food for thought.
No carrying of tons of gear but great knowledge in the lures you made. Taking these videos on board.

Hi Stevie, I was going to hold them back but with the way the UK lockdowns are coming I thought I would put them up earlier so people have something to distract them...I now have to re-jig my entire film schedule and give all our loyal viewers something different...Plenty of films to get up though. Stay safe up there.
@@TAFishing 5 Star Graeme. Your channel is the Best. Always something different.

Another Fantastic Upload on Pike Fishing!!! Totally Awesome!!
Most of those pike were the same fish,and you can tell that they had the same hook in them 😂😉😁
But how come they were different weights,caught in different areas with different markings on them ??. Maybe its a case for Mulder and Scully of the X-files ??
I'm telling you a old joke. You can tell it's the same fish it's got the same hook in it 😂😉😁
@@anthonykidd5325 I get it .... 🙄😂😂😂
😎👍☘️🍺
I've worked it out lads, to be able to keep fishing, for the forseeable future.......we all buy a "TA teashirt", go out fishing, get your phone out, know and then, just incase the spoil sports are out, point it about for a while, especially, if you are lucky enough to get a fish.....If you get stopped, just open your coat, show them "TA teashirt", just say you are, WORKING on a documentary. SORTED. Only joking, excellent days fishing, love the films, keep them coming... REMEMBER TO WEAR YOUR..... TA Teashirt he he.
Would love to go fishing with you! Think you should start a competition type thing and take winners out with the legend that is yourself!! TIGHT LINES!
defo. Graemes in my top 3 list of anglers to have a pint and natter with. Graeme Pullen, Chris Yates and Jamie Hughes and throw in the Ginger Fisherman around a table what a contrast ..of angling over the decades..
@@robshaw3655 Maybe a meet and greet with these guys when all the nonsense is over would be amazing! I'd definitely go :)
@@aiferapple1246 The Angling Trust had an auction at Fishmongers Hall in London and some of the prizes were days fishing with various angling celebs but the winning bids were out my league.. Wrong part of the country for me, am content with watching Graeme having a cook up on the beach with the sound of the surf on the shingle..
@@robshaw3655 Yeah I bet the bids were through the roof. I was just thinking that a simple gathering, meet & greet and talks by the anglers, would be an awesome day out :)
I've found fan casting works well on the Lincs drains - 5 casts to the same spot then repeat in a different area!
What a cracking session Graeme.
Man alive... your the only angler I know that goes fishing wearing Hush Puppies
Is that what they are ? I have no idea..wifey gets them out of her charity shop . As long as they look cool that's all that matters.."Image is everything" I was once told.
@@TAFishing A thumbs up from the fish regarding image
Wipes hands on reeds wipes reel on coat LOL Another great video.
Looks like you had an enjoyable session there graham. 😃😃
Watched this then around an hour later... hooked into my first pike after 24 years fishing! Didn't catch on the first bite but after using a few tips from previous videos landed a lovely pike around 5lb! Brill vids and thank you for the info 🎣
Ha you're an absolute lunatic Graeme but videos are a must watch. Great tips and advice, another movie is required with cook ups. Keep up the good work 👏
Thanks for this Graeme. Was out on the Fen drains yesterday with my son piking. Had a couple of good bites but lost the fish. Hopefully your vid will turn this into getting them on the bank next time we go!
What a great pike session excellent filming in not the best conditions. Love the fact you talk us through your logic and at the end of the day you have the results to back your thought processes up. Well done and thanks for sharing.
First time I’ve ever heard that river described as a “drain”. You weren’t fishing areas that are devoid of pike, you were just trying to catch fish that get hammered nearly every single day. Good results there. 👍👍👍
Great video yet again i've also made lures out of spoons before.
hope everyone in the chat is well and tight lines
So simple but effective👍
A well deserved bonanza, you put the time and effort in, grabbing short session, and sometimes it really does pay off.
Really am loving this channel as much for the tunes as the fish.
I can't help it..being brought up on Clapton/Led Zep,AC/DC etc I'm not really into many of the "cry baby" tunes...Could be using a lot worse tracks,the music library has some great rock tracks on it but Mike always tells me not to use them !!!! Says not everyone like rock...that can't be true surely ?? Everyone likes a guitar riff,especially loud..lifts the spirits.
@@TAFishing Rock'n'Roll!!! Use them and let Mike see the results
And as an aside. My favourite videos are the ones where you just have fun rockin' out on the old tennis racket during the montages.
Another great video fella, I have mainly done carp fishing for years but started up jigging for perch and pike, love the videos pal 👍
Hello Graeme. I don't know exactly where you were but i know from experience that the Lincolnshire/Norfolk fenland drains hold some fantastic pike. If you include the Welland above Spalding They were world class pike fisheries 40 years ago. Back then a Shakespeare Big S and a Lincs drain was equal to a 15/20lb fish regularly and 5 pounders all day. Not fished there for 30 years so they have probably changed. Drains are definately a walking game. All the best.
Yes,the Fens were famous for some seriously big Pike and Zander...like you I have no idea what it fishes like these days...not the same as 40 years ago I'm sure.
You're "AWESOME" Graham totally frickin "AWESOME"
😉👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You're*
@@Maranatha14
Hahaha thank you for the correction it was a predictive text error.
Some lovely fish thanks for posting. great tips and video as usual looking forward to the next one.
Well done Graeme, nicely done.
That's some epic fishing. Beautiful pike. ❤
Love your channel, simple fishing.... Keep them coming.. Keep safe mate 👍
Great episode. I love fishing and exploring new areas.
Thought you might do better around the tree...little fish shelter there. Hows about giving the Arun a go.....used to be big pike....bream etc....not too far from you? Not sure about day tickets though. Ta v much for vid....reminded me when I got my first only pike on the Arun about 6-7lb spinning a Mepps a long time ago. Or was it a Toby? Oh well.
Nice couple of pike Graham. Tight lines
Great day of fishing!
Very enjoyable watch
Nice challenge
Another great video TA fishing keep up the great work.
Hope your well what with a new lockdown etc Just wanted to say all your weird and wonderful films do brighten up peoples days So thank you and all the best to you and yours and stay healthy
Great video, and some nice fish!
Are the teaspoons back in the tacklebox, Graeme? I was hoping for a pike (chasing soup spoon..!) when I saw the thumbnail. Good fish though! Thanks for trying.
Just down the road from me. Another great video.
That's the British weather for us Grahame nice pikes tho sir great video as alway's
"A decent pike ... 6lbs or so.. "
I'll stick with the indecent doubles meself .. 🙄😂
Just yankin yer chain Graeme 😏
Me ?
Being the lazy bastard I am, I'da just threw a couple of mackeral deadbaits out on the delks & put the kettle on ... 😂
😎👍☘️🍺
Thanks for another great video
Thanks for another entertaining video. I'm just writing a letter to Santa. I'll ask him to bring you a pair of rubber boots. Cheers.
I thought youwere in the Norfolk Fenn drains for a minute Graeme. Looks abit like home lol.
I think a lot of Somerset has "fen-like" drainage waterways as some of it is so flat.
Enjoyed the 2 part set up great videos . And now I know what to do with all the wife's old silver 😂
You should get your self one of those brolly hats from Amazon . I got one for when I carp river fishing there great .
nice one graham its funny a few of us anglers have said the same thing where are the water fowl you can walk miles and see next to nothing maybe you could find out with your detective hat on some say its the otters killing them it would be interesting to find out ,as you say where are the thousands of canada geese that drove us all mad,well graham thanks for the tips ,the birds though is a worry,,,
32:00 minutes - hands up if you thought Graeme would fall in off-camera? 🙋🏻♂️
nice fishing graeme👍
On the drains and rivers you need to constantly move to find the pike. Pike move away from an area if they're caught so local knowledge is less helpful than other course fishing. Looks like the sluice at the end of the river Tone which enters a drain into the river Parrett
The lure looks like a Shad Rap (made by Rapala)... best plugs in the world!
Surprised you didn’t get more on your spinners and spoons...
Just started watching your channel and its the best fishing channel available. Top effort everytime. Ps hope smiths watching that rod hahaa
Love this channel keep up the good work
Is this the fen drains??? I used to fish that drain all up and down it when I was a younger man :) used to be a lot of European zander in places. Sure they used to hold pike championships on there years ago
Excellent content!!!!
You caught beautiful fish, this place is really amazing to fish, congratulations you are a very successful fisherman👍🎣🐠🐟
Thank you Suellen...all completely true...of course..Stay safe over there.(Though I am not always the successful fisherman !!)
@@TAFishing we all know those days Graeme 😂😭
great show
These a beautiful marked pike compared to the drains in Southport where I go piking ours look more like muskies all pale and no markings
polluted water affect most fish that way
you could tie a tent peg to your mat save it it blowing away
Great days fishing well done 👏
god i love your video's mate get yourself over here in norfolk when covids all gone i'd happily give you some spots!
Yes finally a pike video
What Graeme doesn’t know about fishing isn’t worth knowing a true master
if you're near norfolk you should try wroxham huge pike and perch there
I live a few miles from here. Definitely going to give it ago now
That was a Awesome pike fishing season Graham 🎣👍😉. Did you try any top water lures?
No,I thought as no fry scattering the Pike were not near the surface but near the bottom.
From my experience Straight retrieve will get lots of follows , but start and stop will get them to strike at the lure ..
That's what I generally find when feature fishing. Only when its clean open water,say reservoirs do I use constant retrieves to get ground coverage.
If you're Lure is shiny, small movements with your rod while retrieving your Lure creates reflections, from the daylight, an attracts fish. Plus the underwater waves, an vibrations , the fish can hear an feel . All the Best -
I watched the video well, I want to try lure. I'm a fishing CZcamsr in Korea.
That's about 8 miles from where I live, some good fish in that river!
And yes, that entire road where you were floods and completely cuts off the bridge and house next to it.
As always AWESOME! Thx
Deeper in the slags.... snags 😆😆
Its the Gman!
Behemoths!
Brilliant thanks :)
Top vid as always,lots of tips ,plus my neck of the woods kings Lynn
What drain are you fishing near Lynn? It's also probably due to time of day but every drain fishes slightly different.
Nice video, using spoon handmade for bait 👍, IS ANGLER
Great video mate 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
No worries..it started off as a tough day but suddenly came good at the end...has to be something to do with the tide coming in I think.
TA Fishing I appreciate you making these videos and sharing your knowledge with us mate and yes I think you’re right about that
Bricktop fishing
nice drain i fish alot of drains but dont recognise this one
Because it’s a river.
