    A very jealous Cornish fisherman that now lives in Bulgaria, far from the sea, would like to congratulate you on your fishing and your TH-cam journey!
    You have come so far since the beginning and its great to see you making a huge a success of your passion 👏🏼
    So many elements in your videos now that I can't even begin to highlight individual segments.
    From hook to plate, tackle knowledge, boating skills, diving pleasures, safety, conservation, shore, reef and boat, educated.....the list goes on.
    The way you go about your fishing is admirable.
    You respect the environment and the catch.
    You are knowledgeable and pass that knowledge on.
    You dont take for granted what you are lucky enough to have surrounding you.
    You are entertaining whilst informative.
    Beyond that, you are a pleasure to watch and learn from!
    Im not one for leaving comments normally but some things you just cant leave without giving kudos to those that put so much time and effort into giving us a glimpse into their world.
    Pretty awesome and im not just talking about the fishing 😉
    May it long continue 👏🏼

      I'm a new watcher, just found you in the last week and been watching from Melbourne, Australia. You've inspired me to set up a beach day with friends and look up the marine laws here and learn a bit about our local environment while we check out our rock-pools. I grew up watching Les Hiddins and you two have a lot in common. I'm blown away by how you know all the Latin names and how your channel remains so wholesome. All this to say your efforts are greatly appreciated and maybe the haters are more likely to comment but there are a lot of us who silently watch and love the message that you bring.
      I did laugh when I heard you say that Aussies will be cringeing when I put my hands into these caves and crannies in the rock pools. You're damn right about that!

      @@TheFishLocker Unfortunately that is how it is. I prefer to strive to become more like those that are successful than being jealous of the fact that they are.
      I'm sure you're strong enough to ignore the hate and use all the positivity to motivate you and continue on your journey 👍🏼
      If I ever return to Cornwall I will have to try and catch you for a fishing lesson 😉
      Keep up the great work, I'm already looking forward to your next video 🧐😁

    I like your concern for the welfare of the catch. I learned of the descender in Australia about 15 years ago, and made my own. My boat was based in the Isle of Man, and the fishing was similar to what you had on this trip- a fish evry drop! With the descender, I'd let the fish sit about half way down, ond more offen than not, they'd just sod off when they were ready .Then I found a few marks where fish of a good size were lurking in shallower water, so no more barotrauma -I've had that with me ears, and it bloody well knacks! All went back to fight another day, this pleased my catch and release sensibilities. Love your vlogs, they make me miss my boat more each time I watch.

You have some really good fishing and foreshore life going on, it's good to see.

      Hey John, hello from 🇨🇦. Do you know the stories of these wrecks that you’re fishing? Is it possible to know the name of the boat may be a little bit about how the boat found itself on the bottom? I think it’d be really interesting as a small segment on these wreck drifts, and give us a little more insight into the boat itself, size, type, age... I also really like it when you send a GoPro down, all the Perhaps there’s not enough light. Either way your new posts are a highlight after a busy day. Please keep up the great work.

    Another great video; when you filleted those fish it took me back to my hotel chef days; a cut accross the fillet was called a 'supreme', in French, a cut across the whole round fish was a 'darne', and a cut across a large flat fish was a 'troncon'. We would grill the halibut troncons with an anchovy or parlsey butter, deep fry the supreme of cod/ pollock etc in a salt and vinegar batter. So delicious, and I hope you and the family get to try a few of the old recipes,....they're well worth it. Best, Tim.

    Hi, John. What a miracle that you had an almost windless trip offshore until late afternoon. Given all the wind you've had to put up with this spring, you richly deserved a day of what we former swordfish harpooners referred to as "flat-ass calm." And those big pollock! If I can find even ONE that size in my planned hunts for pollock this summer, I'll be thrilled. Stay safe, Chris (Maine, USA)

    Nice one John, great channel. Love to see you providing beautiful, fresh sea food for the family. My one, and only, attempt at sea fishing was that years ago, me and my mate Mac, went on a coach trip from Derby to Bridlington for a day's sea fishing. The boat hadn't got out of the harbour before Mac started spewing his ring up over the side, and he was like that for the whole trip. I was spewing for about an hour or so before I dot my "sea legs". We were " jigging" for herring and I never had a single bite let alone catch a fish. You make it look dead easy ya bugger! 😄😄👍👍
