17 CARP! Fishing with BREAD! 

I always take a rubbish bag with me, and at the end of my session i litter pick my peg and the pegs either side of me. Keep our countryside tidy.

great fishing that Graeme, off the top on bread (or mixers) has to be one of my favourite ways of fishing👍🎣😎

surface fishing is banned on all my local waters. iv had to find free venues with low stocks of carp that are few and far between. its a lot harder but also more rewarding.

Hope everyone is safe and sound, all the best from Ontario, Canada cheers!

Great video good fishing👍

What a great short session. Especially the species you intended to catch, and plenty of them. Great video once again maestro. I did notice the absence of a specialist floater rod, and a surface controller float. Lol.

Mean while the guys up the other end of the lake are probably sitting behind their alarms catching nothing

Stay safe Graham. You are an important national commodity.

Thank you Graeme, a moment of clarity in all this madness. Stay safe

Nice video Graeme 👍🎣. Stalking fish off the surface 😝 awesome 😊. Have you ever used imitation bread ? Never comes off the hook, and Floats all day long .

A very good example to all other anglers. Picking up the discarded line ect. It's only a few mindless people doing this. When I turn up at a fishery, my belly is light with butterlies, but then when the chosen peg is littered up with that kind of mess, my stomach sinks. Me and my 5 kids never go fishing without a bag for rubbish. It's only common sense if we want to continue using our favourite venues for years to come. I love it a man uses his loaf to earn a crust, then uses said crust to bag up on fish. I must say that carp landed were all in really good condition. One of my sons came with me to Watmore yesterday, ( River fishing in Farnham was called off, I had an errand to run near Hawley lake, and at's only a couple of miles to Watmore from there. Saves petrol). The wind was freezing, I blanked, but my lad did well on has first visit, loads af good roach and a couple of perch. I fed down the edges for 90 mins before dropping a line over the top. I hooked into 3 very big carp on dead maggots. All three broke me off. The 3rd one kept me in the fight for about 35 mins before the line gave. In the end I was one 12lb main line 10lb hook link, and up to size 16 hook with 4 maggkots on a band. (couldn't get a bite with the bait hooked direct). Baileys number one with some crab flavoured liquid that was laying around was the main attraction, and Dan and me were watching the reads moving about and guessed at 10 or more carp were in the area. Peg 14, in the reads about a rod length out to the left of the peg. It's 4' deep there. I had frozen the maggots with a couple of tea spoons of turmeric. That really gave an edge. My son was doing ok on fresh maggots, but did really well in the last 40 mins using my bait. Thanks for showing us how you make cheap leads. Love to give that a go, alas, we live in a flat, and I like my marriage enough to be told "no you can't" when I asked.

Top tip Mr Pullen about leaving a bit of melted lead in pan, fresh lead melts so much faster. Don’t they look brilliant when they come out of the mould.

I am really hooked on this guy. Simple set ups, freelining with bread - no shot, floats, weights, hair rigs, bait bands etc, just rod-line-bait with tons of know-how and bags of enthusiasm. Yesterday I freelined prawns in the margins and took out 7 perch then moved to mid-swim with a 4lb common suckered in. Thanks Graeme, Im now doing my own thing and the results are making my mates sit up and watch as opposed to the casual sneers when they think they know best. Youve helped me bust through the mystique. Thanks man, bigtime!

This place is beautiful, your fishing was amazing, Congratulations! Hug!!!👍🎣😊

This guy is a legend 👍 one of the best fisherman in the uk

What’s the best way to get the merch and follow you outside of RU-vid?

27:39 the ducks are the annoying part in fishing , best way to scare them away id by waving the net lol

Graeme, note I spelt it correctly. River or sea anglers are real fishermen and they have to learn their sport to be successful. I call it real free fishing. They should not fish commercial or what I would call, fish in fish ponds. It is the same as shooting game in a game park, the game / fish, are confined to one small area. It is a :win win; situation for the shooter/ angler. Fishing commercials / ponds , is boring to say the least and soul destroying at best. Stick to real fishing.

Have a try of making fake bread with pop up mix looks like real bread plus bottom mix for sinking fake bread .Bet you catch

I’ve figured if there’s lots of little headshakes it always means it’s a small fish but if it’s very little head shakes or very few it’s a bigger fish

Nice to know I can watch TA Fishing or Outdoors and catch you, Mike, or best of all, both of you spending time and laughs together. Great Job.

Thanks Graeme, that was just what I needed. a sanity break from all the insanity we've been witnessing over this past few days.

You are such an inspiration. Your carp fishing content is banging. Please do more. Keep up the good work

Thanks for all the tips. New to fishing, been trying for a while now (still no fish caught)!! :(

Brilliant filming technique 😊

Hey you won't catch on that bread it's not "critically balanced" and your not wearing camo. Hahaha creaking vid again!

Oh at last. I been waiting for this notification. Was panicking the corona virus had got you.

I always look forward to a totally awsome upload!

I do like your videos the the video quality was terrible

perfect sunday morning video, thanks!

Hi tad like these bread videos as have learnt a lot from ur videos and have used bread a lot more in my fishing in past 4 years . I was fishing my local packed other day for a couple hours . Had a couple bites had two silvers out one them been. A chub as f new stock from two year ago happy days can’t wait get back down on Monday for couple hours at tea time till late as I think that best time fish

Hooked on fly fishing for carp. Cant wait until it warms up

Don’t you need to wear a mask for this?

A much loved National institution.

Awesome buddy awesome

Love the video's Graeme!! Keep it up 👊

I love your sea and river adventures BUT, fishing these commercial fish ponds is not fishing. You are buying fish and instead of having it already cleaned and packed you are paying for doing it yourself. Sorry, you might disagree but deep inside you know I am right.

Question for a UK fisherman. It seems that every freshwater fishing video I watch the fisherman is using Maroon colored monofilament line. Similar in color to Maxima Chameleon. Can someone tell me the brand or is all of your monos available in that color. In the states I never see that color. Thanks.

here in florida, i've seen herons & egrets tangled up in the trees from all the line left behind by lazy minded anglers - unfortunatly, i was always too late in arriving to help them... since i was little kid i always collected line when i'd find it and almsot every time, just like you, i'd get lucky with FREE RIGS!!! Poseidon taketh but also giveth! 💙🌏👣 tight lines & best health Cappy G!

A waste of a DAY ticket

Cracking freshwater session. Where do you get your shark jaws from that are in your garage?

Your to generous with the bread.Knead into small balls with tuna oil.I hope the carp like the trouble you go too.Little balls of bread take shy eaters. Adam

You are done really well Graham I love watching you fishing I am collecting all the knowledgeKeep up the good work

Great session, great filming, nice that your out and about, while I have cleaned and polished the car (I don't know who had the better day me or G.P.?) The subject of litter raises its ugly head yet again! Just reading a really good book on things you can find on the strand line and beaches, excellent photography but more importantly a section on pollution. In it they suggest, as we can't stop litter louts, if we appreciate our surroundings we do what they term a 2 minute clean up. Well I don't think that's too much to ask if you have had a good day on the beach and lets face it we are never going to stop litter louts so I am going to do this on my up and coming fishing trip. (not going to advertise the book but if you want to know the title just respond you will not be disappointed. If you were I would send you the money to cover your cost.

No interest in Carp or freshwater fishing, but some seriously 'weighty' content in the lead making! Another good one Graeme.

What a session! Lots of lovely carp on Bread?! Cool video showing we don't need to spend lots of money to catch carp! Love it!! ❤🎣😎

Your admonitions on litter are spot on... If we fail to clean up after us on the banks, someone will use this as another reason to ban fishing entirely.. We have been warned...

Thanks Graeme. In the dark days ahead the Nation's Anglers are relying on you to keep up our spirits. As the famous speech began ”We shall fight them on the beaches, in the ponds and in the rivers...” or something like that. :)

Love your videos Graeme, thank you. Just out of curiosity do you eat carp?

I find making weights a very satisfying task. My father always made his own weights and still does so. He makes good weights Nd though my bro and I the same. Great video Graham I love the channel mate 👍

Be careful with melting lead, it’s dangerous without a mask 😷 can cause all types of thing 😢 love the video though 👌 keep them coming 🤟🤟

Thanks for the pyramid bread tip. What size hook do you use?

Great day by the looks of it ! How are you catching all the carp in top ? I never like this method as I mainly get pestered by all the small fish in the lake when fishing bread on the top dahm

Another great video Graeme! Any chance we will get to see what that giant library of yours contains? Any favorites you might want to share?

Another totally awesome film, thankyou for doing what you do and sharing your knowledge with us, you have saved me from many a blank.

I've been using a cheap shimano medium spinning rod to floater fish for years. Had loads of carp on it over the years.

Excellent. Video as usual Graeme.thankk you. Lead (Pb) was found to be carcenagenic long ago and I didn't think it was used in tackle industry. I'm sure you're aware of this. Is the material you are using a suitably safe substitute? Take care and thanks for your never ending entertainment. Your the best 👍👍

I now have a pen rod. Fun fishing soon.

Break your rod again and fish both spots............maybe?

I keep getting my notifications a couple of days late. Is this just me??

Sir Graeme, what water temperature would you start a pre baiting campaign for carp or tench? Would you do everyday for 1 week or 3 times per week for 2 maybe 3 weeks?

Hi Graeme. Thankyou for the video. Was just wondering how you manage to find lakes that allow floating bread as ground bait? 100% of the lakes that I fish only allow bread as a hook bait. Great method but if you cant throw any in as ground bait it makes it a harder to use that method :o(

SMITH: (hand raised) Smith here, Mr Pullen, Sir. Still sat at the back of the class for some reason. Point of clarification about your great tip of pulling the rod in the opposite direction to the one the fish is swimming to get away once hooked. What do you advise if the fish is swimming straight towards you?

You been thieving on the church roof again Graham? Lol

first carp i ever got was on a floating crust. what a buzz.

Nowadays i probably spent at least half the session cleaning up

Hello Graeme from Boston!!! Love the videos especially during these times. At least fishing is the oldest form of Social Distancing you can have. Please stay safe out there. Cheers everyone!!!

what make me laugh , this guy has made hundreds of thousands in you tube money, and his tackle and bait is as cheap as it gets

The best rig I’ve found for surface fishing is the Suspender rig. It’s literally like having a miniature fishing rod in the middle of the lake

Super fishing👍👍👍👍👍Like👏👏👏

Totally awesome Graeme! \m/

I would like a summer day like that !

Thumbs up!!! Clark

Great content as always Graeme 👍🏻

Anybody got any good tips for catching Mullet. I live near the coast and know of a shallow inlet that fills up with Mullet at high tide.

The beeping is infuriating

Excellent fishing

The master.

The sound of the GoPro is very bad and it's ruining the whole footage. Thanks for sharing tho.
