Take the fastest swimming fish in British waters, and then try to catch them from an open beach. Graeme Pullen takes you through the basic tips for targeting the elusive Smoothound - a species that can strip line from your reel with amazing speed. The beach is at Selsey Bill, one of the top south coast marks for targeting the Hounds in the summer. Night fishing usually produces the most bites, but with only daytime available, Graeme decides it can still be worth a try, even though conditions were less than favourable. No distance casting required, he uses a standard beach rod and reel with hardback crab for bait. The Smoothound represents possibly the most achievable target an angler can aim for to catch his biggest fish from a beach. An 8-pounder is still a great catch, and seeing the large Dorsal fin cutting through a wave as you are about to beach it, is a heart-stopping experience with a big crab bait out from Selsey beach even a beginner is in with a chance of a good fish. Strong tackle and strong hooks are advised as the Smoothound will find any loose chink in your armour. The fish is the beach fisherman's challenge! Totally Awesome!

Wait until next Tuesday-6th August 2013-7pm UK time. Possibly best shore film I've ever made.Brand new,done just a couple of weeks ago.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

We do try and put the website in every video at the intro and we put the link in the video description of every video. We currently have T-shirts in stock and you get a free catfish DVD with your order of clothing!

@KiwiKiller88 11 лет назад

I'm 18 and I love to fish and I learn so much from your shows thanks!

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

You will be when you see the next episode on shore fishing.Loads of tips,fish and an amazing angler casting.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

A peeler crab will always let out more scent than a hardback, but you need to fish hardbacks near where they live,ie. a bit of rough ground, or obviously where fish are finding them naturally. Even a breakwater will have a resident crab population around its base and the fish will be searching near there. I like to tip the hook with squid to give a bit of visual attraction.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

No.If the tide is running you let a bit of line out so the current pulls the wires in the same direction as the tide is flowing. If you tighten up as soon as the lead hits bottom, water pressure on the line will drag the lead round/out of position. Its traditional to let a bit of line out to make a "belly". The bite is either straight over on the rod tip, or you get a "slack liner" as the lead is pulled out.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

That's a Conoflex(British made) Integra Uptide rod. Comes with two tips casting range of weights. Used for uptide fishing from a boat, but I quite like it as a bonus rod with a big bait from the shore. Check out next Tuesday's shore film(Up 7pm,6th August 2013) more casting rod action.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

Next Tuesday 6th August-7pm. Its going to give Shore anglers the boost they don't get on television. Forget anything you've seen on our shows to date,this one really is the business. There won't be a beach angler in the world that won't want to hit the beaches and rocks after he sees the angler I've filmed.Possibly the best angler/caster I've ever seen in my life. Don't miss it !! I'm hoping for a Oscar for the end scenes photography !!

@A_New_Yorker_Lost_In_Florida 4 года назад

if I was new at this or as I am 44 years of angling and dangling .... I would still be here learning, and laughing ... thats one thing Graeme, you can make me smile when the world poo poo'd in my hat ......so I am still here, and always learning... this is the one art form that has no final benchmarks ... everyone can become a specialist in their own style with great tips like yours ... and expertise is so boring... expertise means I'd have nothing left to do ... 😊

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

Hermit crabs can be a great bait. Softer than a green hardback shore crab so you might want to bind them on with elasticated thread if punching out any distance. Great new shore/rock film going up next Tuesday,6th August 2013.Could be the best shore film I've done to date, and some unbelievable end photography shots. Watch out for it.Those Hermits wouldn't last long where I was fishing, that's for sure !!

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

You can use crabs part-frozen,live,dead,whatever. Hook size? Better with say a 4/0,but wide gape ? At least that's what we find. Watch out for the next couple of shore films up, some great tips on those.

@freddiearbuckle6806 7 лет назад

I GET A LOT OF INFO FROM YOUR SHOW I HAVE FISH FOR 40 YEARS AND LOVE YOUR VIDEO.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

HEY THERE CONOR...THIS IS TOTALLY AWESOME FISHING SAYING....KEEP CASTING THOSE LURES AND WATCHING OUR FISHING FILMS........IT'S "THE WAY FORWARD"-Graeme & Mike.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

I honestly don't know.I guess they must be around off Ireland,but I've read about them being there.Maybe somebody can answer that one ?

@leeneedham8037 6 лет назад

Love your videos recently took up beach casting I've learned so much from your tutorials thank you and your team

@TheMecanician 11 лет назад

Another informative video TAFishing. Went out last week after watching this to Thorness on the solent side of the IOW, after collecting hardback crabs from the river Medina, specifically targeting Smoothound . Thanks to your information my son caught a 7lb hound. Many thanks!

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

Don't think I've ever seen them in the states, they use sand spikes a lot. You can make your own by cutting a slant on a piece of plumbing sink waste pipe.

@MG-fg5hs 5 лет назад

clever, practical, yet simple tips to cast like a professional. Thank you.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

Its called Selsey, on south coast. No idea on postcode. Will be marked as Selsey Bill on a me.I was fishing to the west. Next area is called Bracklesham Bay.

@kevinchamberlain7928 9 лет назад

I been fishing for nearly 40 years in North Wales and I'm a reasonably accomplished angler (certainly not the best). You have plenty to offer, even to gnarly old sods like myself! Thanks Graeme! Btw, I also use that Ultima F1 black line!

@LewisTalksGaming 9 лет назад

Just started sea fishing and I'm still to catch my first fish. TAFishing has provided me with some awesome tips so far! Thanks guys! P.S If you like rocky marks then you should check out the Llantwit Major - Barry coastline for some good fishing! I've seen anglers pull 2 - 3 Bass in within an hour of setting up on a good day!

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

You are probably using bait, which attracts them by the scent. You should try artificial lures. That might help. But of course any fish you hook will sound like the dinner bell for a shark. That's what they do best. Eat other fish.

@charleslaird870 11 лет назад

You Brits are tops when it comes to bait fishing. Fish species are different in Texas but I always enjoy your shows and get a lot of good ideas. I especially enjoy your shows on "beach" fishing.

@TAFishing 10 лет назад

Just work the hookpoint slowly through the edge on one side.Best to use a spare hook for this so you don't blunt the actual hookpoint used. Its a standard method of doing it for permit fishing with crabs by guides in America.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

Me.Generally like to let everything go. Or if we keep anything, often give it to someone who knows how to cook them properly. We just fish for sport.

@TracyAlanBridle 8 лет назад

quality video graeme thanks im just getting back into beach casting after last 12 years doing carp fishing so this be challenge we are off to warsash as they been sighted there so thanks for the video mate your a quality geezer mr pullen ;)

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

Blimey! Give us a chance! We only got back from Devon last night !! I know here at Totally Awesome Fishing we're nuts on fishing but even WE have to get some sleep. We've got TEN new films backed up already.Guessing it will be in next 2/3 weeks. And that's only if we don't go fishing again(Which we will)Shark tides next week, and I hear another 500-pounder calling)

@kasonmarcelo1529 2 года назад

i know im asking randomly but does someone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any help you can offer me

@princemadden339 2 года назад

@Kason Marcelo Instablaster =)

@kasonmarcelo1529 2 года назад

@Prince Madden thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@kasonmarcelo1529 2 года назад

@Prince Madden It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my account!

@princemadden339 2 года назад

@Kason Marcelo happy to help :)

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

European Bass. No others. I believe some Smallmouth Bass were once stocked in a lake in Dorset many years ago, but never heard if they survived. Our Bass only grow to 20lbs,not like the big Striped Bass on the East coast of the States.

@ajdexter4195 4 года назад

Thanks for the tips, I always thought you had to be on a boat for these!

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

I guess the main difference is that Tope grow larger(Up to 80lbs) and have teeth, the Smooth Hounds are smaller(up to 25lbs)and have no teeth.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

I have no idea. Never heard of that one, but I used Mitchell reels when I was a youngster.Basic,but they did the job. Generally the older ones were very much trouble free. Don't know about new models though. Maybe someone else has experience of that model ?

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

On our site already done.DVD called "Giant Catfish of Caspe".cats to 180lbs if I recall.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

That's a big fish.Well done.Hope you got a photo.Send it in to Mike.

@amantoske 11 лет назад

Thank you for the totaly awesome fishing tips!!!

@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman 11 лет назад

Another great Vid, i was in the middle of working but after watching this I am off fishing

@matthopkins3340 10 лет назад

Graeme, did you know....an expert is as follows. EX = something nolonger wanted or needed, surplus to requierments. SPERT = a series of annoying drips under pressure. ;-) love the show, keep at it.

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

Think there are two on the site,vintage section.One shows Springs in B.C. to 45lbs,the other fly-fishing for sockeye ?

@danielfildes6933 11 лет назад

Thanks . looking forward to going fishing this week

@Juan_Manuel_Alba 11 лет назад

Again a TAF video and tips. Thanks for share them!

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

You've got me there. I would guess its got something to do with the texture of the skin ? And why is the word "Hound "in there ? They don't bark or chase Foxes ? Curious. It will probably keep me awake at night now !!

@zachfreeman4884 11 лет назад

your videos are great i have been fishing all my life but i still like to watch your videos because thay remind me of why i love it so much:)

@samdaddio 8 лет назад

You guys do a super job on these videos.. I have fished of the shore a handful of times now and only managed a Mackerel .. But I am determined to get a smooth hound for sure - Thanks for the vids guys :o)

@samcope6717 7 лет назад

Thanks for the vid try it out 😀😀😀🎣🎣🎣🎣

@jayboy189 6 лет назад

TAFishing i think it is that time of year again that you should do another session on the smoothhounds off the beach. be great to see a new video of this. all the best keep up the fab work always glued to your videos keep them coming

@AnarchyTemple 11 лет назад

We call them gummy sharks (Mustelus antarcticus) here in Australia and they all have spots. They are fantastic eating and are the staple fish of our fish and chip shops. Nice work Graeme

@josefelliott7083 7 лет назад

I remember the first time i started shore fishing and the first fish i ever caught was a smooth hound just 30-40 yards off the shore on some black lug

@amandaahowell6775 6 лет назад

Can i use this method fishing off dover coast ?

@Andyware72 10 лет назад

are the crabs live or could i freeze them down.

@kilpatrickfilms 11 лет назад

Awesome i would love to catch a smooth hound it would be an amazing experience this is the best youtube show for fishing :)

@ceimsonasanth4631 8 лет назад

i had a smooth hound on king rag in Swansea docks it was my firs one i have ever caught

@maxroche242 6 лет назад

I caught a 10 lb smooth hound on king rag

@HaloXIIII 11 лет назад

thought you had to the tighten the line when the grip leads on the bottom to keep tension in the rod?

@Scottwillow1 11 лет назад

Yet again another totally awesome fishing video. Love these vids always very informative and enjoyable, I live in eastbourne and lately the fishing has been very very poor,who knows what's happened to all the fish??? .do you have any stickers promoting your shows? If so please can I get my hands on one. Thank you

@MrBurkey22 11 лет назад

Love the sea fishing vids!Keep it up!

@SuperAlf82 11 лет назад

I live in colima Mexico close to a 20 acres lake full of Common carp and never could get them till I stumbled to TAF thanks!

@supafly1982 7 лет назад

Don't knock the tournament casting, it's a fantastic tool to have. My pals moaned they did not need it till one day the bass were out far and I had to cast out for them. On the flipside the last night I was out with another friend hunting for hounds and I was either casting over them or over the gully, my pal, nice 80 odd yards was picking them up each night at that distance

@graham6329 8 лет назад

Here in Melbourne, Australia we call them Gummy Sharks... and can get them up to 30kg... although most would average around 10-15kg.

@darrinjd8071 2 года назад

This guy is a national treasure. Now Mr Johnson has resigned Grahame should apply asap!!

@TAFishing 2 года назад

Oh yes,I really need to step into a snake pit....full of people you can trust to watch your back ??? I will stick to fishing on my own,its safer...

@UncleGrunt 5 лет назад

I nearly spat my coffee out when I saw hooks and weights on an uncovered pool table

@reynaldobalisi9008 2 года назад

Watching lng bro

@davidharvey5672 9 лет назад

Fantastic video. I got my first smoothhound last night, just a small pup 12 inches long. This has made me think about going for the bigger ones. What size hook was that. Looks at least 4/0.

@johnwyatt2316 3 года назад

Brilliant as always

@TAFishing 11 лет назад

Next week

@BarmyTwubble 11 лет назад

Sure you can, theres a few ways to cook them to and they taste great I do not cook and eat them myself but ive tried some before years ago. Gut and fin it cut into 3 inch chunks Do not bother skinning. Wrap in tin foil with a bit of olive oil and oven bake for 1/2 hour. Once cooked the skin peals off. Great with baked spud and salads. It is also good cold. Like I said theres a few ways, you can add garlic and chilli etc or what ever man.

@mikescarano8711 11 лет назад

thank you

@theinfamous3702 8 лет назад

great video .... would i be able to catch smooth hounds on the dublin shoreline? of a beach? do you know the areas they go to

@Hobojhon67 7 лет назад

Yeah you can

@colmmythen8740 6 лет назад

@maneherrera14 11 лет назад

Brilliant!

@TheAudiostud 7 лет назад

A Big "Thank You" to all at the TAFS as I'm one of those Guys returning to the sport of Shore Fishing and I'm just loving all the tips & tricks 10/10

@alexcousins2305 10 лет назад

How do you get the hook through the shell of the hardbacks? I can get them by the bucketfulls (maybe 10lb in a day) but i dont use them as bait because every time i try to hook them in the shells etc it just wont go through. Cheers

@Cheese_Boi1986 3 года назад

i get a real bruce forsyth vibe from you and i mean that with all possible resect :)

@Cheese_Boi1986 3 года назад

@My House now now lol Bruce is a national treasure but i get you :)

@iseeyou007 6 лет назад

Lol so intense. Not so much needed to catch smoothhounds and squid works just as good

@noobTUBINGmxDUDExbox 11 лет назад

We also sold a couple to some people in the caravan park as its rough at night so we couldent put them back also half way along theirs a wall if u cast off that its good for bass and maby mackerel

@stoikes 5 лет назад

Does anyone know if there are better positions than others at Selsey Bill or is it just a case of giving it a go? It's only an hour from me and I think I would really like to give this a go. Any advice would be really appreciated.

@TAFishing 5 лет назад

The Smoothhound fishing is more of a summer thing,say May to September with crab as bait. Check with a local sea fishing club,they might give more information to save you wasting a journey.

@aron8789 5 лет назад

Caught two of these at once the other day smaller though

@bully109r 11 лет назад

Hi Totally Awesome Fishing Crew, I am a freshwater angler so I don't know much about sea fishing, do you think you could do a tutorial on how to feather for mackerel as your the only AMAZING fishing show on youtube , thanks,

@ULTRAGAMING2001 10 лет назад

@sparky7718 11 лет назад

Love the different lingos.... It's fun to use your proper English terms when fishing with my surfer buddies, they look at you like, wtf ?

@MentalGaming246 11 лет назад

Hi I have watched a lot of your carp fishing and when I went away to

@salmoncartier 11 лет назад

I wish there were more freshwater sharks around because I live in the middle of ny and I've only been to the ocean once

@freshyyd2584 11 лет назад

@noobTUBINGmxDUDExbox 11 лет назад

Hey violentvomit123 i went to amroth just along from Saunders foot and caught 15 bass over 2 days using mackerel from wisemans bridge ind been looking into going for smooth hounds from the harbour in Saunders foot so thanks for the tip

@brandonweed8753 11 лет назад

@danielfildes6933 11 лет назад

Hey guys just wondring, Whats the difference between tope and smooth hound ?

@pompeyo7 3 года назад

Great video, never thought i would see something like that off a beach now i feel confident. Also your tips and advice is excellent for newby's, thank you.

@steveauton1 11 лет назад

Cracking video, thank you. I think I'll go out tomorrow and try. Just a quick couple of Q though, what size/type of hook is best, what time of day is best and were the crabs alive when you cast?

@334outdoors8 11 лет назад

i do a lot of carp fishing in rivers i do fair but do you guys have any tips on river fishing

@maneherrera14 11 лет назад

Love your show! I just have 1 question, have you ever casted and forgotten to flip your bail? I know i have done this a lot and it sucks!

@craigclemson9642 4 года назад

Great show

@Halo2012me 11 лет назад

what bass do u have in uk

@Alex.1739 7 лет назад

great vid but dude !! you shouldnt lift them like that it damages them

@TheOpelkoenjas 6 лет назад

How's that? Please explain what the damage is you're talking about. Thank you.

@stoikes 5 лет назад

Shut up Alex. Why do you feel the need to say something like that when you are so wrong? Or do you just assume you're right and feel no need to research it because you know best, mummy always tells you so. Dickhead.

@loki-ti4dw 9 лет назад

Thank you, great information. Im going after smooth hounds for the first time tomorrow. Im brand new to sea fishing having spent my time until now as a carper. But ive been there and done it with carp now and im excited about getting into some truly wild fish. It has been daunting throwing baits into the sea which is just a tad bigger than even the biggest carp water and Ive suffered my share of blanks. But its coming together now and hopefully tomorrow i'll have my first smooth hound on the beach :)

@TAFishing 9 лет назад

Matt Cook Ah, but with the sea you never know what you are going to catch ;) with carp you already know what the biggest fish is and you even know it's name! Good luck soldier! We hope you catch! TAF Team

@danielfildes6933 11 лет назад

Hey guys how long should the shock leader be ?

@karlstokes874 5 лет назад

Personally I use the length of the rod x 2 and then enough to go around your real 3-5 times. Before really punching your bait out,make sure that your chosen leader knot is at the bottom of the spool ; this prevents your line catching the knot as it spills off the spool on the cast. Tight lines buddy

@LFP_btc 11 лет назад

Can you catch these in Ireland from shore

@mikescarano8711 11 лет назад

always enjoy your videos, always learn something new watching them . I like the beach pole holders you are using can they be purchased in the usa. thanks an keep making the videos.
