Deep Sea Wreck Fishing - Exploring Shipwrecks Offshore in Rough Weather | The Fish Locker
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2024
- Exploring new fishing grounds and finding hidden unfished shipwrecks is always very exciting for me. I love pushing the boundaries and challenging myself. I aren't happy just sitting and doing the same thing over and over. I had been waiting for the right conditions to target these deep offshore wrecks and today was the day. Very difficult to do but worth the effort!!!
Here are links to some of the tackle that I used in this video. I hope it helps.

It was looking like one of them days you just want to forget, but then that ling turned it all around, that's persistence and pacients. Great video.
Some days are hard work mate. It’s fishing. 🎣😊

Yay my Sunday just got better thanks to you ❤
Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
My pleasure my friend.
A pleasure as always. It's nice to be talked to instead of being lectured like some tubers do. A joy to be with you on your boat and I hope that you get your creels back and whoever has taken them has no luck. All The best to you and your family.
It is my pleasure David, I simply try to share what I know and love doing in the hope that it helps.
Many years ago when I was a young teenager I went out on a tourist fishing boat from Weymouth and caught what can only be described as a plethora of big fat pouting. Nobody else on the boat wanted them so I took all the biggest, fattest ones in two carrier bags, and the skipper had the rest for crab and lobster bait. I was on a holiday camp-site at the time and had too many fish for my family BBQ, so I filleted the rest and gave them to my campsite neighbours. Those fish went down really well in what became a communal seafood and wine BBQ party on the holiday camp-site hosted impromptu by my (recently) late father. Pouting are not really the best fish to eat, but they're passable, and those ones in that situation and company became gold.
Agreed. Well done. 👍🏻🎣
Speaking as an accomplished "blanker," any day I catch a fish is a good day. I'd have gone home a happy man with just the sardines and mackerel.
Well done for sticking it out. (Ooh, Matron.)
Haha.
It's not just the fishing it's aslo the fella making them both brilliant cheers and all the best 😃
Thanks mate.
Ah John what a pleasure very gusty up here ,you stay safe
Blowey a gale here too mate.
Our ranch in Northern Nevada US has been flooding with snow storm on top last three days, mud everywhere. Great for the coming grass season but so tough on animals and everything now. My Sunday improved 100% with this video. Love it
That’s it. There is often a silver lining if you can see further ahead. 😊👍🏻
6 o clock Sunday, cheese sarnie, cuppa and Fish Locker time! 😊
Sounds like a plan.
That was amazing to watch after a hard days work, thank you for sharing this with us all John, much appreciated
I am glad you enjoyed winding down with me.
Great video John. Lovely way to spend a Sunday evening viewing. Thanks.
My pleasure miles.
Hi, I'm very excited. The fishing season already came and the weather has gotten better so I'm sure it tastes nice too 😊😊😊😊❤
We are still waiting for the weather to improve here. 🌧️
Awesome again John a few chips and salad yum water still like gin went 4 a coastal walk on Sunday over cliff tops I could c every rock on the bottom just watched a flock of parrots strip seeds & leaves from a tree .Happy catching from Australia Nick
Here the clarity is being measured in inches.
Anybody else just hit like before watching? Epic Sunday evening viewing as always john keep it up
Glad you have such faith William. 😉🎣
Excellent portrayal of a fisherman's persistence. Good job on the Ling. Looks yummy!
Some days you need a bit of stubborness 😉🎣
Nice to see you back on the wrecks john 👍
Good to be back on the boat.
Siempre es un gusto mirar todos tus vídeos , un gran saludo desde La Costa de la Muerte
Thank you very much and best wishes. 😊🎣
Your first 3 minutes was a good day fishing for me.
Haha. Lovely conditions too.
John you’re truly the king of dog fish, I thought I was good at catching tiny pike, in fact I was out on the boat where you are I’d nearly expect a tiny pike to somehow show up. Great video as usual!!
🤣🤣🤣
When, many moons ago, I used to go sea fishing, I loved a Pouting to eat but they didn't keep long especially if the weather was warmish. I do wish I had that type of fishing you have when I sea fished all those years ago but its great watching your vlogs and the areas you fish. May you and your family have many more days of Tight Lines.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day and take care mate. 🎣👍🏻
Good honest video , every time I fish I come across problems , I tell myself it’s called fishing not catching ! . Another good video, thanks John .
Life has problems. It’s all just hurdles to overcome.
Best Sunday evening Entertainment for me🎉😮😊
All Times tight lines and "all the very best" for You and Your Family
Thank you my friend and best wishes to you and your family 😊🎣
Corker of a ling and a hard session but you nailed it as usual John. Fantastic footage as always and I’m sure I speak for all subscribers/followers when I say we really do appreciate all of your efforts. Great filleting work too. All the best mate 👍
Thank you for the positive feedback. I do appreciate it and I hope the information and filleting is helpful to people.
John your enthusiasm is so contagious, thank you for the grand upload, regards to the family, greetings from Cyprus. By the way, my Mum in Watchet would love the dog fish!! 🐟🐟🐟🐟
If we make it to Watchet I shall let you know. 😉🎣👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker Oh my goodness John, I am 65 on the 15th of this month, my Mum is 91 this year, absolutely any chance of a dog fish, I will love you forever, I am too far away and too ill to travel, God Bless you Son. 🐶🐶🐵🐵🐟🐟🐟🐟
Well done John not easy that great result in the end top vid again thanks mate
Cheers Chris.
Well that was a very interesting video to watch John. If nothing else it showed that persistency pays off in the end. It was not a great day for fishing but because you hung in there you did catch fish, end of story. Through sheer persistency you did land a target fish for the day in that GOOD size Ling which yielded some really nice fillets. Great patience, great video, great educational content. Well done mate, cheers to all of you, Don from South Aust.
Thank you Don, I am glad there was a positive message from the video. It was a tough day but I got there in the end.
Fantastic result for a hard day out on the boat John, the way you celebrated the ling ,clearly had been a tuff one out there, well done tho mate , appreciate your effort 👍🏼👍🏼🎣
I worked hard for that fish that’s for sure.
@@TheFishLocker you certainly did.
I heard a theory on why dolphins swim at the bow of a boat like that. It said that the underwater bow wave from a boat (especially ships) allows them to be boosted forward with hardly an effort and apparently they do this “for fun” 🐬
Looks very calm in the sea
It was to begin with. 🤣
Always look forward to seeing you,John. Already hot, in Texas.
It’s starting to warm up here but it’s still very wet and windy.
Thanks as ever mate. You never fail to entertain and educate.
Huge love to you and the family x
Thank you and best wishes to your family.
Top video as always marra got filleting down too a art amazing too see ❤
Practice mate. The professional lads make it look effortless.
John what a way to start the day with the dolphins..it's like "good morning Mate!" Thanks for the tips, the lessons, and another great watch. Hope all is well.
They always brighten your day don’t they.
Made the very most of an awkward set of conditions, with target fish acquired. All the best to you and your family John.
Thank you mate. Best wishes bud.
Worked hard for the ling john, well done for persevering!
Thanks mate. I felt I really earned that one. 🤣
Ling !! By far my fav. Not seeing so many at Mo but then not much fishing possible due to really crap weather !! End of April looking better (fingers crossed) !
I flippin hope so mate.
Fantastic effort. And great reward for all hard work. Fab video. Thank you. 🐳👍
Effort = Reward on this trip that’s for sure.
Well done John, so pleased to see you hit your target and happy to see you buzzing 😁. Only discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I'm well and truly hooked. Such a genuine fella with an obvious passion for what you do and the information you share is outstanding. Me and my 11 year old son like fishing for pike up here in Scotland but the more I watch your videos the more I think we'll start to head out to the coastline when the weather permits. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and love of fishing 👍.
In the summertime you have some wonderful fishing around your Scottish coast. I would definitely give it a try. 😊🎣
A hard day's fishing but you got one decent fish, and of course a dogfish, the channel trade mark. Wreck fishing at times just seems like an easy way to loose expensive tackle. Enjoyed watching you from my armchair!
Aye Tony, some days it’s hard work.
Crumbs Danger mouse what a day! So admire your restraint most fishermen would have turned the air blue.
Haha. I have learned a long time ago that I am the only one who has the power to change my mood. Good or bad. It’s up to me.
Great video again John..tough day but a great ling for your perseverance.. shame about the nets makes me wonder how much of our stuff is on the ocean floor...I actually don't mind pouting for fish cakes but they're full of some kind of parasitic worm..I left a couple in the sink one night and the amount of worms that was bundled together out of the fish was unbelievable... I'm going back a few years now but my Nan and I made fish cakes and they were nice... and thank you for more education... I'm sure the dolphins know the sound of your boat and they're like yes... let's swim along with John locker.. he's a man of the sea..👍❤️
Pouting are a scavenger bottom feeding fish so they do get worms bad.
I know they had come out of the pouting over night and formed a ball together the size of a golf ball.. although my nan made some nice fish cakes out of the flesh don't think I'll try them again... what's ling like? Looked lovely fillets you got.👍
There is something beautiful about a gray day on the sea, thanks for sharing it with us. (no sammiches? not even a butter one? uh oh... lol) Have a wonderful week.
Haha. The sandwiches were eaten on the way home. I don’t like eating them until I feel like I’ve earned them. 🤣🎣
@@TheFishLocker you definitely earned them
Doing bbq kebabs in the garden and it’s blowing an absolute hooley, but glad I watch this in the man cave in between checking the meat 😂👍🏼 cheers Johnny lad
Enjoy mate. 👍🏻🎣
Looks like fun, good on you.
Thanks John.
Well done John, ling is one of my favourite eating fish and has big long fillets too. I'd rather freeze them than share them. Friends get the pollock !
Haha. We keep the bass and share the rest. 😉🤣
Fantastic fish, John. Great video as usual. The weather's making things challenging. The alliance fishing fleet of four boats hasn't been out in three weeks up here in Northumberland. They have a good setup. They have their own fish monger on the harbour. Boats to the shop on the day. 👍
Great setup. 👍🏻
Cracking wor lad lovely fish, and a pot full of bait slack day but a result. Oh and do pass on my best wishes to Jim when you drop the fillts off. Cheers Nick
Will do mate. It was a hard day but fishing at this time of year is. 🎣👍🏻
Nice Cod Sir! Cant wait for the cooking show. My dad would freeze the fillets in milk cartons - filled with water.
Why? Doesn’t that damage the meat?
@TheFishLocker It probably did but he was a Scot and didn't want to buy a sealer. GRHS
Hard won fish John, and two mph winds😂. Your perseverance paid of on a tough day, and some nice fillets for the family.
That’s it mate. Perseverance won the day.
A hard day, lost kit to old nets. Caught stuff you didn’t want. Then a lovely ling to fillet huge bonus with the dolphins, they would set me upFor the day. Looking forward to pots soon. My local fish monger, parkstone fish has already had lobster, crab and new season bass. Thanks for my usual Sunday fix
Aye Terry, because I’m not a big boat I need calmer weather to work the pots in. Won’t be long I hope.
Well done John. Great reward for your patience. Look forward to seeing the ling turned into a lobster videos. ;)
Me too. If the weather ever improves!!!
Another good show ,, lovely eating fish ling.
Stunning eating fish mate
Great video John I hope Hannah & young James are well 🐟🎣
Thank you Lawrence, yes we are all doing well.
Loved seeing the ling being filleted brilliant info. My wife and I had Ling Tagliatelli a few yrs ago in Mr Steins " St Petrocs Bistro" in Padstow. Superb eating fish.
Ling is a brilliant eating fish isn’t it. 😊🎣
Nice fish John keep it up it was nice to see you on local marks fishing when you showed up to see will
He’s a good lad and is working harder than anyone doing what he does. Good luck to the lad, got a lot of time for him. 👍🏻👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker definitely mate can't agree more there
Great video, so full of promise bait fishing off falmouth then it got testy. I was waiting for your anchor to snag but 25 mins in a ling on light tackle was awesome. Much appreciated informative content 👌
I definitely earned that ling. 😉👍🏻🎣
Pouting fishcakes were a big thing in the 1970's, then the Pouting numbers crashed . Nice to see them making a comeback.
They definitely aren’t rare nowadays
Fair play John , you should come to Dublin for the tope and Smooth hound fishing or a week in Ireland, you have loads of fans over here pal
I might just do that. The girls could have a couple of days shopping and sight seeing in Dublin.
Red Herring! Hello from rainy Boston.
Hi there. 👍🏻🎣
The dolphins and that Ling certainly stole the show, there was maybe another waiting, but with 50,000 acres of water to fish in, the mighty mariner comes to share your spot - maybe he's wanting friends???
If he is wanting to make friends, he went the wrong way to do it. 🤣
@@TheFishLocker It was the same out in Africa, miles of river to fish but they had to sit next to me
Another great video, very professional and informative.
Thank you Trevor.
nice bit of Ling there John, got there in the end mate!☆
I had to work for it but I got there in the end. 🎣👍🏻
Tought day at sea and yet you still be pulling fish out and not a bad ling at all mate. I've said it before and I'll say it again your a master of the sea. Take care mate and tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
Just worked hard mate. Some days it’s easy and some days it’s a challenge. 🎣👍🏻
I was "knocking together" rigs for fluke, a.k.a. summer flounder all afternoon which looked a good deal like your single drop wrecking rigs. I put my rubber squids on opposite sides of the to your way, pointy bit pointing upstream from the hook. I understand that doing that helps the bait from helicoptering. Your way certainly looks more festive.
Haha. Both ways have their merits. 👍🏻
Great video..thank you!⚓
Cheers Stu.
What would a session be without the obligatory Doggy! Lovely Ling to make it all worthwhile and looking forward to seeing the carcass become a Lobster (or two)!
Haha. It wouldn’t feel like a proper session.
Cheers from Squamish BC Canada
Have a great day. 😉🎣
Would love to see you up here fishing around the Isle of Lewis in Scotland !!
I would enjoy that too.
I’m sat here eating my spaghetti bolognese,watching you fillet that Ling thinking that looks lovely.👍
They are a great eating fish. 👍🏻🎣
speaking of jim would love another cooking episode
When he is able we will go and see him.
Great, thanks for the upload going to watch the Video now😊
@TheFishLocker
Have you ever had a cook-up with the fresh caught pilchards, they are delicious fresh on a BBQ I'd imagine Spargos, would have a few recipes 😋
We have done a mackerel and herring video, have you seen it?
Yeah, was that the one with the oats, covering the Herring?
Must get around to getting my Mackrell out of the freezer.
Say hi to Spargo from me.
Brilliant, just love watching your videos. You have a fantastic personality.
Thank you very much. 😊🎣
Love deep sea fishing 😊
Me too. 😊🎣👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker love ling nice fish mate
Great video again mate ,don't you just love doggies 🤣🤣
Haha. Oh yeah, I love em. 🤣👍🏻
Keep the videos coming John look forward to next one dream day would be to fish with you and hook one off those tuna amazing buddy 🤙
Haha. They are exciting fish to catch.
Really Nice Flippin Ling! 👍👍😜🤣😁😎
Cheers my friend. Hard work but well earned. 💪🏻🎣
Great video as always...thankyou
My pleasure Shaun.
Great video John! ❤❤
Thank you Daryl. 👍🏻🎣
@@TheFishLocker the pleasure is all mine John. Regards to family!
cracking video john brilliant info again , nice job with the filleting love ling taste great looking forward to the next one take care buddy
Thank you very much. Ling can be a pain to fillet but they’re not too bad if you do it like that.
Fascinating stuff mate.
Thank you Philip.
Pouting can be okay to eat if they’re fresh and lightly breadcrumbed and fried in butter . However I do think they make amazing bait especially small ones for big bass
Agreed.
3:30….you have the best mates! Aren’t they wonderful?❤️🎣
Simply stunning.
You could tell you appreciated that ling more because you had to work for it.
Haha. I really earned that one.
I've been out fishing in boats in the Faroes a few times, and even caught a few ling myself, but they've never been that big. That meat looks fantastic.
It's great to see how you do this, so thanks for that. I have to go back soon and try again.
My pleasure. I hope the videos are helpful to people. 🎣👍🏻
Great footage!
Thank you.
Brilliant video
Thank you Roger.
Great video as always
Appreciate that Stephen.
If it was easy there would be no bragging rights.
🇺🇸
If it was easy, everyone would do it. 😉🎣
Funny. You looking back on the boat at the beginning of the video looked as if you were worried someone was following you.
Haha. I always do as it happens more often than I would like.
Excellent video, Cape Cod Bay just starting to wake up from the winter.. I've had days like that: much effort and gear and one or no fish.. someone said "you must save so much money catching your own fish".... I didn't tell them it cost about $50 a pound to bring in a $20 fish
Haha. The most expensive free fish you’ll ever have.
I was taught to bounce the lead, keep the line vertical and follow the contour under the boats drift. All about feeling the lead, same for reefs and wrecks.
The key being a vertical mainline and braided for feel. Bait runner reels are great for this as you can drop down as fast as reel up to the structure easier than with the multiplier.
As you said, once you get the bite you need the right gear to haul it up
Usually a drift just under a knot is good.
Great video, but thank goodness you didn’t have another 7-8 anglers with you like I had to learn with.
Less oily fish make better baits in them areas too, congers love pout and poor cod or even tiny codling and whiting😎
Keep the vids coming pal👍
I agree with every point in that David. 👍🏻👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker I’m amazed that you read the full essay 😂😂😂👍
Thank you also
Good fisherman this bloke. I dont sea fish but you can just tell he's all over it, changing things up different tactics, always thinking, watercraft etc. Always a good watch.

Greetings sir.
Fabulous Mate, Your channel gets better every video :)
Thank you.
Nice fish, some nice fillets off that. I guess you could salt the flanks to draw the parasites out.
They won’t cause you any issues if you freeze it fully or cook it fully. But I also have the luxury of using it for lobster bait. 👍🏻🦞
Hi John, If you are into smoking any fish I have found oak smoked Pout fillets to work very well and are tasty even had a restaurant owner agree. Ideally, a fish over 1lb and filleted asap.
Good to hear that they are edible to some folks. 😉🤣
@@TheFishLocker 😂😂😂👍
It would be helpful if you ever get chance to do an episode on kit maintenance and repair, I've a rod with a broken eyelet but it wasn't expensive enough to justify spending almost the same cost as the rod to get it replaced at the tackle shop!
Have a look at the videos on the Fishlocker workshop. 👍🏻🎣
John I have a wooden rolling pin which i use to wrap the braid when it snags,few wraps and it saves your fingers
Wearing gloves gives you far far more control and also doesn’t risk damaging the braid - or your wife’s rolling pin.
Work very well for me ,never damaged the braid and very safe when snagged on a fast current……wife still hasn’t realized I took the rolling pin 😂
Well done nice video and beautiful spotted Ray 👏 👍
👍🏻🎣
Nice video John ,those Ling fillets looked amazing
They are a great eating fish.
great video, nice to learn from Pro fisherman
Haha. I’m no pro. Just a happy amateur.
@@TheFishLocker lol
