Grant has a very natural manner in presenting things. You two bounce well off each other. Definitely would be interesting to see the two of ye do a fishing episode together.
I call him the "One Take Wonder"...We have a brief chat,throw a few ideas of topics around,I point the camera,and press record and away he goes..it really is that easy..He is a mine of information...hope we get some more tips from him.
Hi Graeme, Great and really generous input yet again from Grant. Yes it was myself that sent you the Orange Knife etc. Thanks so much that you remembered that. I was unemployed a couple of years ago and unsure of time ahead but as always in life if you are prepared to work hard you will get there and perhaps do something however small for others too. My Best. Steve in Fife.
Orange knife still going strong (and not lost yet ! ? ) Also the scissors that dismantle,they are in my boat fishing tackle box,so you should still see in use.
Well Graeme, i cant thank you enough dear fellow, as a fellow fisherman i find your videos relaxing and full of useful information, ive not been able to get out on yhe bank since being diagnosed with Osteosarcoma of my left leg in 2021, i can escape for an hour or two and forgwt the pain. Much appreciated 👍👍
Pleased the films have provided some sort of distraction ,more to come hopefully...Got plenty of "Random" section films to go up,I reckon I might start in the New Year. Depends if I get bored with no fishing and any cold weather,then I start going through my film list.
Nice to see a day when it isn't persisting down with rain. I wish Grant (is it) had a tackle shop near us. All of our locals have closed and I have a longer journey now to go to one.
I for one would be interested if TA fishing did a review on day ticket venues in the West Sussex area.I would also gladly buy stuff online from Grants shop.A very knowledgeable chap.
Just watched your video Graham, brilliant as always. Love grants dog with her pink hair. Lol. I'm already looking forward to Friday to see what's next on your fantastic channel. Keep them coming you legend. 😉👍
Grant had a good point regarding tackle shops and customer servive. I know of many people buying rod's on line. There's a fault, it has to be returned by post. Because of the rods length it can only go through the couriers automated delivery system manually. Costing around £40 , check on line ? Customer service has value, I think its rich when people buy tackle on line, say a reel. A spring breaks in it walk into the local tackle shop, expecting a tackle shop that doesn't even stock the reel brand to source the part and fix it for pennys.
I think you are bang on. People don't know what I did for a living but it was running a couple of Furniture shops in Fleet so I am always sympathetic towards the small shopkeeper,as I did that for 38 years from the age of 16 .!! I had no internet,no online sales,no website,but I ran the business based on the 3 R's...Replace,Refund,Repair...You wanted the customer coming back in again. Don't get me wrong we all like the best deal we can get ,but when things go wrong now the postal return is often more than the item purchased. At least with a retail shop you can walk in,discuss the problem,and hopefully put it right...So the shopkeeper might be a tad more in purchase price,but the information you can get on all things fishing could be worth a good deal more than the 5 or 10 quid you saved on an internet purchase. You can't ask some internet bot where the best fishing is,or expect advice on whether a wide gape hook is better than a narrow spade end crystal when fishing chopped worm on the inside in the winter. But equally a lot of people are not as forthcoming as Grant is with the tips.
Ah yes...I put my readers on to inspect closely,just before I remove. It is the silly season after all...I imagine more junk now the Xmas sales are on....I'm off to remove what I can....
Ha ha lol better than a telling off, im planning trip for sataurday, tempted to do some float fishing on the center lake at newdigate, do love some float outings, all the best.@@TAFishing
I am holding back a load of Country type stuff.I guess I will put it up in the New Year.... No Christmas special ,but just the regular uploads every Friday 7pm. Might have a midweeker next week,but I just have too much work on with other stuff to do filming/fishing/editing.
Grants right, if you're good to your customers they'll keep coming back, for sure. That's the only way to be, honest and respectful to the customers. A lot of places aren't like that anymore, their there to make a buck and to hell with the customers, well there are a few places left that the people are good to you. You all probably have more decent folks over there than we do here in the US, a lot of people over here are plain assholes. Anywho, good deal Graeme, as always bud! Happy Christmas, Happy Holiday's and all that good stuff to you 🎄🤙✌️
A lot of it is about the fast buck nowadays...everyone has sales figures to reach...budgets to keep to etc...so it is a breath of fresh air when Grant gives out lots of tips and information freely...but of course there aren't too many like him....Have a great Christmas/New Year over there on the other side of the pond..
@@TAFishing - yes sir I certainly agree with you about Grant, good guy! Thank you for that, I truly appreciate it, you all take care and have a fantastic holiday season
You keep talking about Bailies Horse feed. Is this a ground feed or are you grinding it yourself? We have none here in the US. If I were to buy horse snacks & grind them. What favor should I go with? Thanx.
Its just a quality feed for maybe race horses I guess. I just buy it in a 20kg sack.I don't grind it myself. But you could check out chicken feed ,that used to be all the rage years ago,and is a similar texture .It might be a bit plain but you could always add your own flavouring. For that check out the cake making section of your local supermarket. And for various sacks of feed try an Agricultural feed supplier.
