Man's wasted on CZcams, get him on the tele 👍
So glad I stumbled on this channel. I really love the enthusiasm and the fact that there is no annoying intrusive music AND a very likeable personality.
Great knowledge of Carp and Salmon and Trout. And proper old school! Im 45 yrs old and my dad gave me those observer angling books when I was a lad and I used to read them cover to cover over and over again. Great stuff. Keep up the good work mate!
@matmc71= I'm 74 Mat and I still read all my old fishing books time and again, if they're well written you can always find another little titbit you've somehow missed!👍All the best, and have a great week!
When I first took up fishing back in 1980, my Dad’s cousin gave me a book...”Fishing in all waters with Mr Crabtree” I read that book from cover to cover many times, and I remember this being the chosen method for catching carp. If only Graeme had used a centre pin reel and laid out reverse coils of line on paper to allow the carp to run with the bait before striking!! Thank you TA Fishing for another highly entertaining video.
My dad just told me last week he has this book up in the loft. Im just getting back into fishing.
Found a rod license in my old tackle box from 2007. Been a while.
Graham is totally bonkers but I learn so much from him
I love old world fishing knowledge, our ancestors have been catching fish long before all the modern stuff out today.
No shit??
love your no nonsense approach , not bothered about been a tackle tart, the way you fish anybody can fish it's not expensive.
I like that
I used this system in Australia here and it works.We soaked our potatoes in honey overnight and this method of rigging with the honey potato works better than anything I have tried.
Love the show Graham. Just started again after not fishing for 41 years (I'am 56) Lots of catching up to do. Your show is a breath of fresh air and should be on main stream TV
Keep them coming
In my ancient Fishing with Mr Crabtree in All Waters book he talks about fishing with par boiled potatoes too, one of my favourite books ever.
love this guy passionate about his fishing and it always comes through
Just goes to show just like my old dad used to say half the expensive baits we buy today are to catch the fisherman and not the fish , great vid thumbs up !
Stu Unzi Isn't that from Brenden's Fabulous World of Fishing
Try sitting on a low stock syndicate with potatoes, you’ll blank for a year and never go back.
My dad bought a book or my 6th birthday in 1952 by Bernard Venables called ``Mr. Crabtree Goes Fishing`` in which small par boiled potatoes were used on a treble hook to catch carp so there`s little new under the sun. In addition when in the very early 1960`s when I was making my own fishing rods which I still have I used a thin elastic thread which my mum bought for me to secure soft dead baits for pike to my ``snap tackle`` just like Graeme uses to secure his sea fishing baits. I now live in South Dorset and hope to return to all sorts of fishing when I`ve finished building my new bungalow.
Thank you for sharing Graeme
What I love about your channel Graeme is your gear, like most of us 'Plebs' you don't use 'state of the art' gear and the latest 'All singing, all dancing' must have gizmos! A proper fisherman, presenting a proper channel!
I try to keep in basic..The tips have worked for me for years,no reason they won't work for other fishermen.
Great film! Thanks for the carp fishing history lesson.
I think a lot of anglers especially the newer anglers believe that if you want to catch the biggest or the most carp in a lake you need all the gear & top priced special baits & rigs etc & don’t realize that you can use the most simple baits and use quite basic equipment. Good job to show us and everyone it sure does work 👍
We would also put a piece of drinking straw on the line above the hook. Pushed back inside it would prevent the line cutting the potatoe. Love your show!
Absolutely Graham, spuds rule., Been using them after reading Mr Crabtree over 50 years ago. nowdays I experiment with parboiling them with various spices, herbs, additives and fruits additives. Also picked up from Mr Crabtree the benefits of baby green tomatoes. Shop bought cherry toms work too. Old school forever.
Graeme Ya Is A Diamond Gezza Just Love The TAFishing Videos & Cheers For The Enjoyment Keep Em Coming
Love this Graeme,thanks
This man is bonkers! In the nicest possible way! Great vid, thanks!
Excellent, I can remember using a "melon baller" to prepare small - medium sized baits 40 years ago using potatoes but also cutting from large carrots and parsnips!!
Your voice and accent makes me so happy
I can't express how much I admire the knowledge Graeme has given to me. I have learned so much form you m8 I pray you keep these vids going!!1 plz plz plz do a vid on the raptor oil!!!
I'm a big fan of your show its good to know the old baits still work on well stocked carp waters
Graeme you are as mad as a can of potatoes lol.... great video mate i too have read it in books but i am yet to try it.
Brilliant old school teaching, is the best...gotta respect that. I’m going to try potato, and hotdog slices too. Wish you taught me fishing....all the best
great video, will be giving this ago on my next session.
great fun! thanks Greame ( and the long suffering Mrs Pullen).
David Harvey cgytr
I just love your presentation mate💯
Thumbs up for that entrance
I did catch at the same place on the left side at the margin with polish garlic sausage 😉 probably on that lake you could use almost anything as a bait... I'm thinking to try some cucumber and courgette 🤔
I like cucumber,but personally finally courgette takes like a Raccoon's armpit !!..(Don't ask me how I know)
You are a mad man. Love it!
What a great fun fishing channel
amazing video bro :) im a 30+ year veteran of the sport buddy i have one tip for you though.. to have more control over the fish i keep my rod tip low to the waters surface. Enables me to guide the fish to the net bro (especially on a feeder buddy creates pressure and an upwards tension which frightens the fish even more , making it fight harder whilst having the tip in the air also making fish harder to control)... long time fine bro :) if you are ever near the wirral shout me and ill show you the north west waters and my well stocked little syndicate.. tight lines guys :)
You keep your rod tip low...😂
I've used Ikeas meatballs when fishing for carp in Wales. Just took small bits of the outer part of the meatballs on the hook, worked really well. 😁😁
Brilliant viewing....seems such a decent bloke too!
great video and information on a unused old school classic bait, will give this a try on my local club pond.
Lovely kitchen mate
Great vid, brings back memories when we used Potatoes 35 years ago.
AMAZING Technique !
Fantastic video's, I use to watch a lot of John Wilson dvd's, but sod him now. I'm only going to watch you from now on.
Another great video fella..
Love your energy matey
That's a brilliant tip mate thanks
Superb video. Love your style.
Hi. I love your sense of humor!! Potato...I had no idea. Will give it a shot sometime.
Love the vid den
Potato Carp Fishing! :D Brilliant!
wow im think you are a MASTER of carp fishing
Little tip: When we fish with potatoes we aways put a piece of straw about the size of the potatoe lengthwise on the line. First slide the piece of straw on the line. Then the potatoe (as shown in this clip). Next attache the hook to the line and put a piece of bread on the line (as shown in this clip). Then push the straw in to the potatoe en push the hook in to the potatoe. The straw prevents the line of cutting in to the potatoe while casting. With this addition you can cast much farther then without the straw! Try it, you'll be amazed!!!
IT,S A REAL PLEASURE TO WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE WITH YOU GRAME,
Haha great video lol love this video
I love you
you make things easie
may God bless you.
I am not sure I should confirm the secret, but potatoes are still OP in the US. It is nice here because carp are not targeted often so we still have a good many options.
i can remember my big brother using potatoes but dipped in treacle this was 40 odd years ago,ABOUT THAT TIME WHEN YOU CAUGHT THAT BIG MONKFISH I REMEMBER THE PHOTO IN THE ANGLING TIMES, GREAT VIDEOS THANK MATE
Awesome tips and i loved that you didn't use any special tools. Especially liked the paper clip tip!
"Call the police there's a man casting a potato in the middle of the field" hahahahaha
Your videos make me laugh so much
love it nice video
Yes
I like the whiskers on the carp cool 😎
Old 50s bait I grew up in the 70s early 80s reading the carp legends books walker, Hilton etc talking about the humble spud band how they boiled spuds dipped them in honey and had many a carp I used them, the good old days lol.Still love a boilie though.
日本では昔から芋で釣ってました
In Japan, I was fishing in the potato from the old days
Fuerst Metternich that's so wong
..... why was he fishing from inside an OLD potato? Just get a new potato....... oh, hang on........ new potatoes are even smaller huh
I'm definitely trying this
fantastic!
I remember Bob nudd using potatoes soaked in coffee in the shape of a pellet for hook baits
ben garbutt
Cool love it
I live near a lake where nobody fishes for carp. I kayak the lake and know there are some huge fish. Now I know what to try. Thank you!
love all your videos coz of these vids and your tips just caught my biggest fish tonight a 13lb common carp only thing I did used which I didn't get from u was the homemade strawberry boilies I caught it on :-)
I love you grandpa I enjoy ur video
Such a quirky fella, reason why I've been watching you I reckon lol
"man casting potato in park, Irish lady in hospital with concussion!" Tonight on the special edition 11 o'clock ironic news!.😅 ☺️ "legend has it he was a mile away!" Graeme you make me smile!
You should make this a series, Like "Carp Fishing With....."
agreed, there's gotta be more unusual baits out there like jalapenos or goats cheese or something random lol ideally cheap stuff!
+Sam P yea!! xD
They use Feta cheese and bread in Greece around the sea shore. Works very well. the cheese and bread merge after kneeding and create a bait looking like a boily. stays on the hook too.
+David Harvey never knew that! Might try something similar for carp
+Sam P just kneed it till the feta is mixed and roll it into boily size balls. You can also pinch bits off and squash it onto the hook. I don't know if it works in fresh water. I'm new to freshwater fishing but like to try things.
thanx giving us good idia
wonderful!
I would have never thought potatoes would have worked like that. THat's epic
Another awesome film.no way would I have believed it but now I've seen it I've got to try it out and the peas too,might even take some baby beetroot and give it a whirl you've got me right into this crazy bait fishing.
Old Chris Yates used to swear by them when fishing Redmire back in the day, great bait.
Only yesterday, I was sitting next to the lake and thinking about using potato's, crazy this has popped up
uncle Graeme you are awesome!!!!!!!!! :-)
One suggestion. Add turmeric while making potato bait and see the magic
yeah....show them the book buddy...good video...i like from Sweden
brill as always.....
Nice video 🎣
Great video
Never played a Labradour with a Spod rod!, Saying that, reminded me of catching "field carp" when testing casting distance on weights. Great Video thumbs up ,reminds me of the packets of Smash my Dad would take fishing mixing up at the lake side.
Fantastic entertainment 😂
very very good this video ! :))
“I’ve never played a Labrador in a field before🤣👌🏼”
I love this guy he is funny lol
Hi TA, my Grandad used to use bread and honey on the river, said it was very good- worth a try that one i think!
I remember that when i was like 8 years old
My dad used to do this with pasta as well you should try that
Very true spuds were the bait of choice, started fishing 60 years ago and it was top bait for Carp.
Old school 🤣👌 the best way
Good idea
If memory serves, the old Mr. Crabtree books suggested using little spuds for carp. My granddad used to call them 'pig potatoes' and they worked a treat.
I remember the term "pig potatoes" .Same here.Grandparents used the term.Were a sort of second best type of potato so fed to pigs.When we had a rough bag of chips they always said the fryer probably used cheap "pig potatoes" to get more profit.
I grew up in Cheshire too. My dad was good mates with the water bailiff at Rostherne Mere (before it became a bird sanctuary) and he fished it regularly. He also had permission to fish up at Mere near Bucklow Hill where the country club is. In fact my dad and his mate rescued some carp from a gravel pit that was being filled in and put them in the Little Mere, which is a perfect water for them.
I believe Richard Walker was a fan of new potatoes, might be wrong but I think he had Clarissa (44lb from redmire) on a tatty.
Anywho, another use for potatoes is when feeding small pellets up in the water for roach/rudd/carp you can cut a potato into 6-8mm slices and punch out pellets using a bread/meat punch before staining with coffee to make them brown. This then gives you a really tough bait that slips on the hook nicely, it allows you to bury the hook if they're getting a bit finicky and being lighter than a pellet it sort of offsets the weight of the hook giving you a more natural drop through the water.
Correct
its so crazy i have to try it lol im in the states and we have carp and this is great idea lol
that's a totally awesome bait
You can never count out older techniques they worked then and will work now. I have that second book you had ha ha
