In this episode of The Totally Awesome Fishing Show turns its spotlight onto another "old school" beach setup. Presenter Graeme Pullen highlights "The Wessex Rig", how to tie them up, and how they were used years ago to target both large and small fish. They can be used shore fishing, from a pier or jetty, or even LRF (Light Rock Fishing). You don't need to be a long distance casting expert, as the wessex rig is ideal for begginers to shore fishing as they cast well using fixed spool reels. Experienced and young anglers alike may be interested in giving the wessex rig a try, as this is another great tip from the totally awesome crew that should help you locate the fish. Filmed at Hayling Island in Hampshire, its another episode of tips and entertainment in the hugely popular stockpile of "AWESOME FISHING FILMS!!"

I used to go fishing with my dad from about 10years old to 17years. He used to show me what to do (knots etc). We were never very sucessful but I loved it. Now he's given me his rods due to him having arthritis in his thumbs and due to go beach fishing this sunday night. Your videos for beginners have been very useful in helping me remember the things my dad taught me and more tips that he didn't! Very informative and FUN at the same time. Great stuff. Thanks!

Love your shows most basic fishing = best fishing. Just like cooking a meal!!

My brother my heart goes out to you fishing those fished out waters low in fish stock. I know exactly how you feel... I live and fish in Turkey and the shore fishing is terrible and totally fished out.. so when I see you with your unbelievable enthusiasm and love of the sport fishing in such fished out waters I feel as though I am looking in the mirror. I am originally from one of the greatest shore fishing spots on the planet earth "Long Island New York" and I regularly fished the legendary spots there such as Montauk and the various famous inlets and beaches of the south and north shore of long island. And after the great fishing there for me to be stuck here in Turkey in these beautiful waters with absolutely no fish it feels like spiritual torture. I even made the major decision to relocate back to the USA because I couldn't live in fishless waters any longer. So God willing I will relocate back to the USA fall of 2016 and set up my home in Montauk long Island or possibly on Cape Cod.. When I do I would be delighted to have you and your son as my guest to experience the kind of shore fishing that dreams are made of. We get shore blitzes of Acres and Acres on Bass that average 15 pounds each with some 30's and forties thrown in.. plus 20 lb rod breaking Blue fish and a variety of species for sport and some for the table. Lets keep in touch once I get settled in would love to have you stop by and spend a week or two fishing in "legendary waters with large fish".... Seeing you in your videos with your wonderful enthusiasm and love of the sport and then seeing the fished out waters that you fish touch my heart because I am basically in the same boat. We also share another aspect of "Awesomeness" I am a Electric Guitarist singer by trade and all my English fans who could not pronounce my Turkish name named me "Awesome John" so we seem to be kindred spirits my fishing brother. I hope to share a tide with you and your son some day in the USA landing some serious large fin the future. God willing.. stay well and keep in touch. warmest regards Awesome John

@TAFishing 9 лет назад

+awesomejohnnet thanks for taking the trouble to write.Can you play "Freebird" ?? Might even get over there as a 20lb Stripey would make some great footage.Keep watching .Hopefully more guitar soundtracks to come. Why don't you record a riff,mail it to Mike in a file and we'll see if we can give you a credit ? we are always looking for something "rocky" ...

@andymetternich7453 6 лет назад

awesomejohnnet that explains the violent fist fights between Turkish shore fishermen and swimming tourists 😀😂🤣😄

@SuperOlds88 11 лет назад

The reason I asked that was the "guides" on the rod your using on this video are guides typically used on a rod that is used with a casting or multiplier reel. Spinning reels are typically used on rods that have spinning or larger guides to accomadate the line coming off the spool. Casting rod guides restrict the line coming off a spinning reel. Casting rods do come in different lengths, they are just made for a specific reel. Your videos are very good. Thank you.

@deborahburns7280 6 лет назад

A really good spot is over at Eastney beach on the other side, by the tenth hole golf course. I went there yesterday, from 8-12 PM and used single lugworm on a two hook flapper with 3/0 hooks and caught 9 bass. Really good spot.

@edwardtupper6374 8 лет назад

I had no luck this weekend. Only two bites through three consecutive tides and no hook ups at all. What a fantastic weekend. A short wade out to rocks and into clear deep water. Nobody else around. Improved on knots and improved on casting distance. Getting closer to that first kingfish. Greetings and salutations from Auckland NZ

@keith2599 7 лет назад

Best thing iv ever seen...graham hitting the beach running...so so so funny.....great thing that....funing

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

Glad to hear the Wessex rig worked, and a double hit of bass on the one rig is something. I was through Wexford last week, just making five brand new rock fishing films.Should be up in next week or so,keep watching, and spread the word to others who don't know about all our films. Send us a photo next time you are out.

@Walruz1000 6 лет назад

TAFishing Wessex is my favourite rig, in June I caught a dogfish on the top hook and a decent smalleyed ray on bottom at same time at Cogden beach in Dorset.

@DJREYSKI 10 лет назад

Even though no one else is fishing or claiming the fish are not biting on that day. This shows you that the fishing experience is not just about catching fish. Look at that beautiful nightfall.

@gdroo 11 лет назад

13:10 Exactly my spirit when I hit the beach too! PS: Love you for being such a genuine exponent of fishery passion, plus an accurate, reliable and deeply informative teacher, plus an adorable wacko! I consider you my own! All the best to you and yours!

@kevincarter9746 10 лет назад

Your videos are superb, just getting into beach fishing after being a freshwater fisherman for the past 15yrs so your videos are extremely helpful. In fact you would be great on telly

@TAFishing 10 лет назад

Thanks Kevin, RU-vid is our Telly :)

@kevincarter9746 10 лет назад

TAFishing i live in essex so i was wondering if you have ever fishied at frinton on sea, harwich or Holland on sea? If so have you any tips please

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

Can't see how as I don't know how bad the rocks are. But the specialists use a "Pulley Rig" to get the lead up off the bottom quickly when fishing rough ground. We have in an upcoming film on bass fishing over rough ground.Should be up in a couple of weeks and that might help you.

@Auraelium 11 лет назад

Tried this rig out a today, Ballyhealy beach, down south Wexford. My m8s First cast of the day... 2 Bass one each hook, both about 3 lb, on a rising tide. Not a sniff of a bass after that but plenty of flounders. works great cheers guys.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

Yes it will work off the U.S. piers.Smaller hooks though,and shrimp as bait.Peel the shrimp.Use frozen as its cheaper.Good Luck.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

Just done an interview today with top beach match expert Tony Kirrage.He says do NOT use braid on a multiplier reel,but its OK on a fixed spool. All I use is straight mono.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

I see what you mean now.Yes, when I saw them it also seemed the principle of large butt guide had been altered. But apparently these long rods can be used for fixed spools, you need to contact Tony Kirrage at his shop and he should explain the principle of those smaller guides. They certainly cast a long way for sure.

@blacklawlessd 11 лет назад

Thanks for ruining my day. I spent all day wishing I could go fishing ! Great advice and I'm going to get out there this weekend. Great videos, keep up the great work. If you ever get up the west coast of Ireland, I can show you some great marks

@TheMecanician 11 лет назад

Great video guys! I really enjoy watching your exploits on the beach, so nice to see fishing tips by regular guys who aren't sponsored by the large tackle companies wanting to fleece you out of your hard earned cash!

@xenu-dark-tony 11 лет назад

I really wish you took people out on beach fishing training courses - a small group of enthusiastic novices who are desperate to start catching but just don't seem to know enough. I'm in that situation, down at Hurst Spit every weekend and in the many many hours I've been fishing I've only foul-hooked a 6" mackerel! Oh well, your videos are tremendous help anyway (thank you!), so I'll keep plugging away, and hope that the new beach gear I bought today can help improve things a tad.

@fakkak12345 11 лет назад

Thanks a lot for the quick reply.. loving the best fishing show in the world.

@TheWoody3322 11 лет назад

I use the same rig but I clip the running ledger hook up and the fixed hook down, just protects the bait a little better.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

No reason why not.Heavier line will mean less tangles,and the fish are not bothered in those strains

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

A running lead is so a fish can take line, show the bite on the rod tip and not feel any resistance from pulling up against a fixed lead

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

You could try lugworm, they are far less "active". Or shellfish,limpets,mussels,razor fish or.....peeler crab !

@rafaelapolinario8970 9 лет назад

My first time with the Wessex Rig I caught a fish with 1,500 kg .. My biggest fish so far (I have a very short fishing carreer) hahaha ;) I will continue to use it for sure ! Thank you for all the totally awesome tips !!!

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

yes

@sypinbrd3 11 лет назад

I tried all of the tips and recently I have had really good trips

@mathewpearce9931 5 лет назад

This rig has saved the blank so many times for me!

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

Yes,but use bigger hook sizes,and maybe stronger wire ,Something like a wide gape crab hook

@lachlanoneil8938 5 лет назад

Wow exact rig I came up with my self today minus the small hook at the top and the big hook are gang hooks for a whole pilchard.

@darrendynamite 9 лет назад

why arnt you on tv lol love these videos fun and infomative and without an hour of expensive tackle talk... cool fishing room too! are all the fish parts from your own catches or bought?

@TAFishing 9 лет назад

Most are my own. A couple of older glass cased fish I bought

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

Hi, if you check out our UK & Ireland Sea fishing playlist there is a video on there that has Ballen wrasse in it, we will be doing more wrasse fishing from the shore again soon.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

I only know a baitcasting rod as 6 feet long, one piece, with a curved hook above the winch fitting where you hook your finger to make the cast, and have a multiplier reel on .Don't think I've ever made a film with a baitcaster rod yet ? These don't really feel great with a fixed spool. On 12-foot beach rods that we use, either multiplier or fixed spool can be used. A baitcaster is too short for beach fishing.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

Yes.Blue marlin,Black Marlin,Striped marlin. All leftovers when the locals kept the meat for food.Seemed a shame to just dump them,so had them made up as mementos.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

No.I personally don't use braid off the shore,just straight mono,about 15lb minimum.

@lbalistreri 9 лет назад

have you used braid sliders (they work on mono too) they are pretty cheap off the web, we use them catfishing so we can click new weights on and off without cutting and re rigging. works well tell braid cuts through the plastic slide or tangles around it.

@TAFishing 9 лет назад

Not seen those.Will have to look out for them

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

If you have Ragworm over there it should be Bass/Flounder(Fluke) and maybe small Red Drum. I don't think specs(trout)and bluefish would take them, they want fish as they are more predatory.

@CaptainRSole 11 лет назад

Great video guys as always ill be trying that rig next time I go out

@juteboxjaws 11 лет назад

Great video guys, Id love to see you guys go after Ballen wrasse in your vids someday.Superb fish!

@Mojocvh 9 лет назад

Keep this information coming it it SUCH a difference from the buy this and that brigade!!

@TheSavagederek 4 года назад

I'm really new to shore fishing so the tips I am picking up from your videos are great Greame . I've subscribed to the channel now . Keep up the good work .

@naughtydorf18 11 лет назад

I use the same kinda rig to catch fish here stateside; blowtoads, whiting, pompano, and the usual skate, ray, garbage.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

Do you mean the wessex rig ? (very cheap),or all the rods and reels ? Or our camera equipment ? If its the rods/reels I have no idea they are 30 years old.But your local tackle shop should give you an idea of beach outfit costs. The wessex rig is just swivel,2 hooks,2 beads and a bit of nylon.

@fakkak12345 11 лет назад

The beach i fish at has a couple of rocks at the shore and a few meters in the water, is there a way to avoid the hook getting stuck between the rocks without using a floater? thank you in advance.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

We apologize if it is a little too confusing. Have you had a look at the other beginners guide to beach fishing videos on our beach fishing playlist on our channel page? They should help.

@21creed 11 лет назад

have you considered using fireline?

@jamesguile7725 9 лет назад

Hello Graeme, Thanks for all your videos they are great. Many years ago I always used offset hooks and still have a few now, Tell me how many fish have torches?LOL

@ULTRAGAMING2001 10 лет назад

Can you do a video on how to make the Wessex rig

@akashchohan1 11 лет назад

i using a 1/o and 2/o hooks and 50lb shocck lead with 25 lb line for the hooks is that ok

@fishes74 11 лет назад

Great show, really like your commentary. Keep up the good work!

@SuperOlds88 11 лет назад

Just wondering why you use a spinning reel on a baitcasting rod?

@akashchohan1 11 лет назад

will this rig b ok to use to catch bass

@fishwithandy 11 лет назад

Cool vid,Nice fishing room.

@madman1424 11 лет назад

I have always heard about rag worms from my friends from UK but I always wanted to know can you use them in the united states and what can you catch with them if you can?

@barneyrichardson4071 11 лет назад

Hey Greame, Would the wessex's methods work in america off of pier's and rocks? Is there another method you might know for catching like 1-5lb fish? A totally awesome one!

@mygoalcrash8077 5 лет назад

what size of mono line you use? 40mm? 50mm?

@supadroppa 11 лет назад

Awesome!! I love the sea and beach fishing...and the song at the minute 17:49...please give me the name of song!!

@TheWoody3322 10 лет назад

beautiful casting technique he has! Unlike Tony's rather dangerous looking casting in your long distance casting video...

@mustafasayed3648 10 лет назад

thanks man! this was a great tip.

@ivanvoznenko7874 10 лет назад

Would 12 foot rods with 1.25 pound test curve work for surf fishing like this, or would i need something stronger? I was thinking of using the 12 foot carp rods for surf fishing and put a different reel on them with stronger line than 6 pound test. maybe 12 pound or more.

@TAFishing 10 лет назад

They would be ok for the lighter leads.2/3lb test curve carp rods,15lb line(use a shock leader) and big carp reels are all basically what we use for bass fishing,so should do the job and save investing in shore tackle. Try it first.

@ivanvoznenko7874 10 лет назад

TAFishing I see, thank you.

@ivanvoznenko7874 9 лет назад

ImDatRvex™ .Battlefield and GTA . Cool, I'll be getting a 3lb test curve rod 12 foot length and will probably put 15-20 pound line on it. Sounds like a solid setup. I'm in the USA so idk if we have ragworms available but we do have bloodworms and sandworms so I'll be trying those. Thanks for the tips!

@StephanTheGardener 11 лет назад

Every time I hold or lay down my fishing rod it gets tangled up how do I stop it?

@InetaGphotography 5 лет назад

😂 nice jump. Love your videos

@jman3336 11 лет назад

instead of a snap swivel for your lead just tie a surgeons loop and put the loop through the lead and pull the rig through the loop to make a hitch. it is easier.

@m0nkeydo0dle 10 лет назад

love your videos! keep em coming!!!!

@themostawesomedudeev 11 лет назад

@secretfishing7018 9 лет назад

@TAFishing 9 лет назад

Secret Fishing Yes,fished Pevensey Bay a few times doing photos and fishing articles for magazines.Always in the winter though,for Codling and Bass.Never fished there in the summer.

@victorernestorodriguez 4 года назад

@msyukor3086 10 лет назад

@FlashTinlegs 10 лет назад

Darude - sandstorm

@mymiddleleg1 11 лет назад

are they marlin swords in the background?

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

Ragworms .Not a special kind. The other popular beach bait is called a Lugworm.

@davidharvey5672 10 лет назад

I made up a couple of these rigs, going to try them out this weekend. Great video yet again, full of totally awesome enthusiasm. Is it always ok to light fires on the beach? Is there someone I should ask to avoid that tap on the shoulder followed by ello, ello, ello.

@TAFishing 10 лет назад

Always worth checking I suppose. Your local tackle dealer might know any local byelaws for where you fish.

@edwardtupper6374 8 лет назад

last winter I piled up driftwood for a night fish wee fire and a resident came down the beach and threw it all in the sea. Speechless. So I turned up the volume and the bass and I fished late into the night lol

@JorgeTomas86 8 лет назад

How i can talk to you? I ned help

@Noname-qk9or 7 лет назад

just click on 'Reply' under any comment TAF have left on this vid

@simonb2268 9 лет назад

what is the best beach to go fishing on?

@TAFishing 9 лет назад

The one the fish use !!!! I have no idea of the best beach. Could be sand,stones,boulders,you need to contact a tackle shop nearest to where you want to fish and they should be able to give you the information.

@edwardtupper6374 8 лет назад

I've been using Google maps to identify ideal places within reasonable driving distance. Land and car based, I look for places I can get into deeper water and channels, put markers on each spot then try them through different tides wind conditions and moon phases both day and night. After awhile you get an idea of where to go based on the weather and how much pressure the given area is under at the time. I don't really appreciate competition so if a pier or a rocky point is chocka I will move around the corner

@Noname-qk9or 7 лет назад

Good question mate! Chesil
