- Sea fishing in the UK is a very popular tradition and activity. With charter boats in almost every port around the UK it is a brilliant way for people to get sea fishing from a boat. With the right skipper and the right boat it can also be a wonderful introduction to deep sea fishing and a way to learn. Here my friends and I fishing with arguably the best skipper in the West of Cornwall, Robin Chapman on his boat Bite adventures. We fish several locations throughout the day and catch some amazing fish.

Sitting on my narrowboat with a beer on a Sunday evening watching Fishlocker. What's better than that? 👍
Grilled launce..
Happy days.
Only actually fishing
@@zone7permaculture587 . Yep. You got it 👍
Good lad! Well done nowt betta I rekon
another one of your brilliant videos john top man
Thank you very much. 😊🎣
What a great day you all had!I loved all the laughter!
The best kind of fishing trip is one filled with laughter.
Good to see amount of fish going back
Selective fishing. 🎣👍🏻
Back here in Aus, you can bring your own gear, but if you pay for a spot on the boat its the same price, boat provides the gear for you. A lot of charters here now are catch and release, but they are serious sports fish that stretch you and your gear to the limits, big samson fish, Amber Jacks. fast growers like Tuna, Mahi Mahi are not as heavily limited.
Here there is a rental price on boat owned tackle just to cover losses and damage.
Your charter was much less chaotic than the one I've been on. Went out for albacore, and the boat was packed (10-15 people), and we stood shoulder to shoulder, and side stepped around the back of the boat as we reeled in our catches. My favorite part was the ride back. It looks much more fun with a small group.
That’s something I learned a long time back. I won’t ever go on a charter as an individual filling a space. I’ve had too many trips ruined that way.
Great day in the life of charter fishing. Always good to go out on a boat that is so experienced and is willing to pass on important information on catching different species on different marks and to explain to the novice the do's and don'ts. You know it is good when everyone is smiling when they return with new PB's. That's what you call a complete fishing outfit. All the best to you, the skipper, and all who enjoyed the day with you. Thanks for taking us along John.
It is our pleasure mate. Have a good one bud. 👍🏻
What a great skipper! I enjoy charters where you get to learn as you go, for the first few years sea angling I always went with the same skipper which really helped my confidence
Good for you and good on him. 👍🏻
Great video John wow his boat was massive guess the skipper must be making up for something ehh ha ha 😂
Brilliant fishing platform and it’s actually like a tardis. Loads of working space for not the biggest boat. 🤣
@@TheFishLocker If that was a Cheetah catamaran they only go up to 11 metres length.
Very similar fishing to a charter I went on off the coast of long island, NY in the northeast USA. Flounder, ray, and the occasional dogfish.
Do you get the same dogfish?
ive been on charter boats a few times, and ive also worked as a deckhand/greenhorn on a charter boat. it is one of the best things you can experience as a fisherman if you dont have a big boat of your own, and if you get a skipper who knows his stuff it really makes a difference as to what sort of time you have on the vessel, going out with skippers like this is the way to go for anyone who wants to try it, ask around, get recommendations, watch youtube videos like this to find out who the better skippers are and then get your trip booked, will be the best fishing experience youve ever had, this is great content John, thanks to all involved for putting this video together, that was great
The skipper can make all the difference especially if it’s your first trip. It can either hook you or put you off forever.
@@TheFishLocker I think most of the bad charter skippers have been weeded out by ever tighter regulations, but I've heard of some nightmare skippers in the past. One skipper wouldn't let anyone use his heads and unfortunately one guy had a bit of an upset stomach on one trip and the skipper made him use a bucket on deck in front of everyone!
Hi john you ok , it looked good seeing the fish come up from the depths in that clear water. What a stunning bream. All the best from GRIMSBY.
Thank you Carl. Have a great day bud.
Great video, thanks. I'm the complete novice here. It's less daunting to know that on charter boat trips, the crew will share their knowledge and expertise and unhook the many different species you may catch. The skipper didn't fish himself but made sure everyone was safe and having a lovely day. Thanks again.
That’s what a proper skipper is like mate. They don’t fish, their attention is devoted to helping their customers catch fish. Every fish a skipper catches is a fish a customer cannot catch.
Was out of christchurch last weekend and had gilthead bream.and door sole ........first gilthead I've ever scene
Stunning fish aren’t they. 👍🏻
I've always used pink/white spoons, and spinners
Pink lures have always done well for me.
Boat booked for the 20th of August, having to wait a bit longer than i would have liked but can't wait, crackin video, see you in the next one John
Good luck mate. 👍🏻
Another excellent video John, Chippy is one of the best skippers in the uk, constantly working to put anglers on the fish. Always lots of banter too!
His experience level is also top notch. Great skipper and great angler too.
Some of my family live in Cornwall. I’m going to take my nephew out on a charter boat in a year or 2, when he’s a bit bigger. I bought him a rod last year and he caught a little wrasse. He was so excited 😝 Unfortunately, his dad isn’t an angler, so it’s up to me to teach him.
Good on you mate.
Great day out fishing
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️
Yes sir.
Firstly thanks both yourself John, and the Skipper, great vid. It is apparent to me that even an experienced angler with their own boat can benefit from a trip on a local charter boat, especially in a new area. Did you know John, it's virtually impossible to land a Dogfish off the North East coast, apparently they have all migrated to Cornwall. lol.
That sounds like a challenge. I think I could manage it!! 🤣😉
Thank you John. No Sunday is complete without fish locker!
Every Sunday without fail. 😊👍🏻
Am female do not fish but i love your videos. Always enjoy the catch and cook in Jims kitchen. Best wishes from Scotland.
There is nothing that says ladies cannot fish. My wife and daughter enjoy fishing too.
John, haven't watched your vids in months, but missed them so I came back! You're an excellent teacher and TH-camr! 🎉
Welcome back. You’ve got some cracking vids to catch up on. 👍🏻
Excellent video John.
My thanks to you, Robin and all on board for a wonderful experience and a great days fishing.
Glad you enjoyed joining us my friend.
Brilliant days fishing, great to see the fish going back. You really do love this doggies
Haha. They’re practically the channel mascot. 🤣
@@TheFishLocker On the other hand they are very obliging and great for novices to catch.
It's all an illusion... ha ha! Interesting character to fish with I reckon!...for the banter...nice action on those rods.w with those reels.... inspiring...I reckon he would be a dab hand at the mullet if he applied himself...do not recognise that 3rd last fish..maybe a sign of the Mediterranean moving north..
The Couche bream have been caught here in Cornwall for 20 odd years but are definitely a fish I would be happy to see stay.
Thank you so much, John, you can't beat good camaraderie on a fishing boat, regards to the family, and greetings from a sweltering Cyprus. 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
Good fun and just the right amount of banter. 😉
I really like charter boats. There are so many levels of charters. I was on a couple where you just had to show up. They had the polls, bait, food and fixed your fish and put it on ice. Also been on some that you bring everything. Price wise the best. I never had a bad day out on the water.
I agree, I have been on all kinds too. Great fun.
''Dogfish, course it was'' I'm sure I'm not the only one who laughed out loud. That could so easily have been me.
I just cannot get away from them. 🤣
What a beautiful bream fish of the day ❤
Absolute stunner of a fish.
Brilliant as always. Been on a few charters myself over the years (cobles out of Brid as a kid, Dave Nuth on Theseus out of Jersey, both many times and Marcus of Bad Intentions out of Savannah). The amount of knowledge these guys have is phenomenal and it's always a joy to go out with them. If I ever get the chance I will definitely give Robin's outfit a try.
He is definitely worth looking up if you are in the area.
Heh. Adam. I`m sure you`ll be watching this. If you like your rays go the canaries for a holiday. You can get them off the beach or hire boat to 150lb+ .
Great vid John....
He’s seen our videos from the canaries. 👍🏻
Very cool bream, love that you are showing some UK charter footage!
I plant to show more from around the country.
Good Excellent again Plenty fish
Aye mate. Was a great trip.
Great days fishing John. Another great video thanks mate, much appreciated!🐟🐟🐟🐟
My pleasure Graham. 👍🏻
What a day! Perfect timing with this video, my work colleagues and I are looking into a charter out of Oban for a wee unofficial staff day out. You've cleared up most of the questions I had in my mind. 👍
I have fished with Roger Eaton about 6 years ago. Great trip.
@@TheFishLocker nice one. I'll look into that. 👍
I love heading out with my mate that runs a charter boat here in Oban, it’s great to go out and as I’m only 14 and I generally fish with older anglers on the boat it’s great to hear how they fish and what they use, aswell as how my mate runs the boat and is so helpful👍🎣🎣love heading out on my boat but love going out on charters with friends🎣🎣
Which boat is it? Send me a PM and we will see about coming up. 👍🏻
You're in my home town. I'm the dog fish king 😂 I catch more of them than any other species .
Haha. I think I may challenge that title. 🤣
Excellent video john good advert for all charter skippers around uk 👍
I plan to do many more videos from charter boats around the country.
@@TheFishLocker brilliant John 👍
To anyone watching this one of many amazing videos from John. Can I just say when he is suggesting to listen to local knowledge from experienced skippers. Take note. He shares this information for all of us for free. When one of the best sea fishermen I’ve ever seen can move a few miles away from his own territory and still sit there and take all the information in and share it with me for nothing I take note 👌
We are simply sharing what we know and love doing. Fishing brings me such joy, if I can share that with others and help them catch fish then that is amazing. 👍🏻
great vid john that is the cleanest boat i have ever seen
It’s one of those things that when you stay on top of it, it’s easier to keep clean.
Beautiful fish and fantastic footage 😀
Thank you Andy. 😊👍🏻
Very knowledgeable skipper, very clearly explained. A top man.
Thank you and I love you bro 🍀😉👍
Haha. You are very kind.
Thanks John for the great insight. I have been out on charter many moons ago and watching this it’s all changed 😊😊
The right skipper can make it a brillaint experience.
I did a charter a few months back - first one, caught a black bream a gurnard and a skate. Absolutely loved it and nowhere near as intimidating as I’d envisaged. Been bsck 4 times since!
That’s excellent. Good luck on your future trips.
Lovely Day, good fishing with some mates ...what else ?!
Just a group of lads having fun doing what they enjoy. 👍🏻
Stunning couches bream that was 🙏 that area is one of my personal favourites to hunt on
It’s a wondeful area of coast.
Great stuff john 👍 👏 👌
Thanks Andy.
A really great advertisement for charter boat fishing. It was good to see that the skipper didn't fish and concentrated on helping his clients. Way back when I did a bit of this type of fishing, off Yarmouth with various skippers they all always fished themselves and sold their catch to local fishmongers leaving the paying customers to get on with it as best they could. Times have changed,were any fish kept for the table? Nice to see you got a dogfish.
That’s a sign of a good skipper. Their attention and effort is 100% dedicated to their anglers. Not their own fishing. 👍🏻
Everyone needs to start somewhere, and a good captain will assist you and answer any questions a first timer might have
Agreed. 👍🏻
What a great informative video and a brilliant day at sea 👍
Glad you enjoyed joining us mate.😊
That was an absolute pleasure to watch Mate-Well done and massive thanks for sharing as always, looking forward to seeing some Perch fishing :)
Cheers
Rob.
Cheers Rob. Some cracking fish landed throughout the day. 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker I didn't realise until recently that perch are quite tasty to eat. If you ever go on your hols to Lake Geneva, Switzerland, fried perch and frites is a speciality in many restaurants around the lake!
What a super vlog nice camera work Jon and the charter skipper was bang on just helping the other anglers and also looking after the welfare of the fish top bloke 😇
That’s the sign of a good skipper mate. They don’t fish they just devote their attention to their anglers catching fish and promoting good practices.
You had so much fun John! Great video as always 👍 I remember when I was a kid they used to put up turbot fisheries in our main waterway (which is the now-too-busy Istanbul strait). We gnawed on a lot of turbot buttons in our time. Sigh! Now my kid doesn't even know about turbot. I'm happy for you and your families that you still can catch all these great fishes 😃
I’m my local area they are a rare capture but there are still locations where you can find the odd one or two.
A nice video, well done. thank you.
Thank you John.
Perfectly said about feeling overwhelmed when you’ve never done it before. Seemed a great bunch on board & some nice fish. Appreciate the effort you put in John, great nights viewing.👍
My pleasure Stephen, I hope these videos go some way to encouraging folks to give it a try.
Greetings John, Full watch.
Thank you Michael and have a great day my friend. 👍🏻
That dogfish you keep catching is the same one. I can tell by its spots. It follows you around 😝
He’s a greedy sod if that’s the case
What a brilliant vid, John. So informative and entertaining, I almost felt that I was there and loved the vibe on the boat. Such a clean and tidy charter boat and such a knowledgeable and understanding skipper. The ginger lad was absolutely loving life mind! Big smile on my face here, thanks again!
Just a bunch of lads sharing what they love doing. What could be better? 😊👍🏻
Enjoyed that John, great boat, great skipper and nice guys to go fishing with. That Couch Bream was stunning, I read they can reach 3ft long and 15lbs never knew Bream get that big.
I would think a 3ft one would be heavier than 15lb!!!
Thats what I thought John but thats what I read up tp 15lbs and 3 ft long it didnt quite ring true I would have thought over 20 lb at 3 ft long but do they get that big..?
A great day out with a nice bunch of lads
Doesn’t get much better. 😊
Good to see other charter boats in Cornwall. May look him up next time I'm in Cornwall in September. Thank you
Good luck for your next visit.
As always a great video can't wait to be bk in Cornwall next week for a bit of fishing 🎣🦞🌊
Good luck for good weather mate.
@TheFishLocker hopefully mate either way least I'm in Cornwall 😊👍🏻
Cracking video mate
That last bream was a minter.
Great to see a decent charter boat actually working to get on the fish for his paying customers
To many don’t do this anymore unfortunately cost of diesel I think !!
That’s the sign of the times mate. The cream will always rise to the top.
Always pal
I've been quite a new watcher, but i've been enjoying the uploads so far! There's clearly more to fishing than one might think
It’s as simple or as complex as you wish to make it. 😊🎣
Awesome again John some nice fish, have watched the video regarding great whites in British waters apparently thay have been sighted, found it interesting. Happy catching from AUSTRALIA Nick
All nonsense Nick. Idiots and dramatic journalists.
@@TheFishLocker The nearest confirmed catches of great whites have been in the Mediterranean, but have become rarer. Although the cold waters around the UK should be no deterrent to them. I used to go surfing in Southern Tasmania when I was teenager and the water was so cold I used to come out with purple legs! What I didn't realise until some years later was that there was a seal colony not too far away and great white sharks used to cruise around predating on any unwary seal!
What a cracking trip John,doesn’t get much better than that. Great skipper, great company and great fishing 💪🐟🎣
I agree mate. Great day all round. 👍🏻🎣
To anyone who's first time on charter boat you will be helped and never belittled give it a go trust me 👍
Choosing the right charter boat and skipper is very important for the first time. As it can either hook you or put you off. 👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker you've got a good task going around the UK, showing what's available and what to look out for,
I was a bit quick with last message sorry,there are good and not so good charters, cheers John👍
@@Phil144gbp - I have fished with some great skippers and some not so great ones. Sometimes it’s just a personality clash.
I only did fishing in Sweden and Norway, but now I really feel to try England! So many interesting species u have there! Great vid👍
Get with the right skipper and there really are some wondeful fish to catch. 😊👍🏻
Even here in the US, charters are usually newbie friendly. If you go on a smaller charter, most of the people are more than willing to talk with you on tips and such. Both on smaller and larger one, the mates (they go around helping keep the fish rolling) will be happy to help you. Never fear going on one. If you are in the NE US, I can even suggest a few that would be especially good for newbies.
Yes please. Feel free to recommend them in the comment section. 👍🏻
Yankee Fleet out of Glouster MA is friendly and has many different options of what they go after. Just a little to the North is Eastman's Docks. They have been my favorite and also have many different options.
Another cracking video John
Thanks mate.
always a great watch
Thus video has got me really excited next week I'm off out on a charter boat for tope. I'm well excited. Hopefully I'll hook into a couple. Great video as always John all the best to you and tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
Good luck mate. 👍🏻🎣
@@TheFishLocker thanks bro 🎣🎣🎣
This has answered all my questions and settled my anxiety about going on a charter boat. Thanks for the information John. And that bream was a monster, but very stunning. Brilliant video as always 😃
If the videos help folks out then they are worth making mate. Good luck and be sure to speak to your skipper before hand. Most are more than happy to help. If he isn’t, go elsewhere. 😉👍🏻
Thanks again John
Any time mate.
That is some boat
Proper fishing platform.
excellent stuff always huge fan of channel awesome
As always John it is my pleasure to share our adventures with you mate. 👍🏻🎣
Fantastic video Your opening comments summed me up to a T
I’d love to boat fish but I’ve never done so and I’d worry about knowing what to do
This has given me the confidence to check out my local charters here in Seaham and give it a go 🎣
Speak to the skippers and also speak to people who have been out with them. 👍🏻
Lol. That dog followed you all the way from home!
Those dogfish love me.
Great video as usual, great days fishing with a helpful skillfull skipper. 👍
Thanks Mike. 👍🏻
If you have a space next time your in Minehead let me know would love to join you
Speak to Mikey and get your name on his reserve list 😉
Great session..you guys covered alot of area and had a great time doing it. Thanks for the video!🔱
Any time Stu, have a good one mate.
Nice watch that John 👌🏻
Cheers bud.
What a great video John. Great days fishing by the looks of it. Lovely boat, great skipper and that light gear looks awesome to fish with 👍
A great day spent with mates having fun. What more could you ask for?
Hake is also a very common in Denmark. We call it coal mouth because of the black mouth. The best way to cook it, is on the skin side on a pan with oil and butter :)
Hake is not a common capture here. Only in very deep water.
@@TheFishLocker I remember reading that most of the hake caught in the UK is exported to be used in French school dinners!
Enjoyed that very much John very interesting
Thank you Dawn.
What a stretch of coast that is Beautiful ! It's hard to imagine how bad that storm was when the Union Star and Soloman Brown went down. Great video 👍🏴
Mate when the storms are raging this stretch of coastline is hellish!!!
@@TheFishLocker Can I say, as a member of the RNLI, if you are having a problem on the water call the Coastguard straight away, don't wait until things are really bad. The skipper of the Union Star made the terrible mistake of calling for help only when he was almost on the rocks. Which lead to the deaths of everyone aboard his ship and the lifeboat trying to help him.
Some nice fish there guys, and of course the doggies too. And no damage to the gunwales... well done you 'weight watchers'!
Haha. That’s funny I’m going to remember that.
Cool, John. Keep up the good stuff!
I admire when you shake yer pointer, let's get out there.
Let's go!!
Looked like lots of fun. Fun to watch.
Thank you John, that was one of the most enjoyable of your videos. The first time I've seen a Couches Bream caught on video, as well.
Oh John! I have commented before about your channel,I am not a fisherman but my brother was an avid beach and boat Fisher, I loved watching this video, as it brought back so many memories, my brother Graham won the 1st catch and relturn prize for a Thornback Ray,with 'Sea Angler' and it was caught at Hinkley(Hinckley point) Somerset. And the Ray catching just brought it all back, love your channel and the knowledge it provides. I only have You Tube and if their was a way I would happily share his moment of pleasure with you.
Thankyou for just,doing what you do and being who you are❤❤
I have said from the very beginning that of our videos help folks in any way then I feel they are worth making. I am glad that this one brought back happy memories for you my friend and have a great day.
Great video mate, looked a good day!
We had a cracking day mate. 👍🏻
Best boat in cornwall
😉
That was once my job unhooking sandeels etc but!! Punters laughed as I slid up n down deck in bad weather , fun but not always fun..
Got to admit mate. Does sound funny. 🤣
Been following your channel for a little while &, for some reason, shipboard footage @ 10:00+ had me waxing nostalgic about my Gramma, which is unusual coz, as far as I can remember, she never fished from boat b4(thinking maybe she got seasick?) But she was Cracker Jack when it came to shorefishing!
During the summertime, maybe btwn late July-early Sept, schools of scad mackerel/juvenile flagtails(opelu=oh-peh-loo) & aholehole(ah-ho-lay-ho-lay) would come in shore to feed/spawn. Growing up, Hundreds of people would congregate dock-side/shoreside & atop rock jetties, for Hours on end! And Gramm was known as one of the best, usually filling up 5gal. bucket in 2.5-3.5hrs.! And being the oldest, she had me to be her "pack mule" when she had caught her fill...NOT like I Really complained about it!-lol. She's been gone, maybe >15+ years but the mental images are Still Crystal! You're doing Very Well, John & James is building up Tons of memories to archive in his video library!...A-L-O-H-A From Hawaii!
Thank you for such a great comment. Aloha and have a wonderful day. 💙
@@TheFishLocker...Maybe, when James gets older, your ohana(family) could could venture onto this side of the Eastern hemisphere? Could be interesting, same & different at the same time!...Aloha
Like and enjoy 👍🍀🎣🍀👍
Greetings 🖖
Thank you sir.
The sea looks so healthy, is there hope? Here on the dutch shore its seems almost lifeless.
Commerical fishing has a lot to answer for.
Great video again John, a very friendly and skilled charter and what a gorgeous day too!
Thank you Philip, we had a stunner of a day. 👍🏻
