John - When attaching your Conger or wrecking rig, do you fasten it to your main drop line with a Uni knot, etc., or do you prefer to use a snap swivel or some other fastener for quicker changes? Sometimes it is difficult to see your terminal rigging process when you are in fishing rig deployment action.
Man, you constantly amaze me with your vast knowledge and damn near 6th sense for what is on the other end of your line. I am picking up so much valuable information from your videos! Please don't ever stop what you're doing, you're god's gift to the novice fisherman! Your son is lucky to have you as a father! I wish my father gave a damn about fishing when I grew up myself, but I only managed to nag him into taking me out for a short fishing-trip once in a rare while. Luckily now I can fish whenever I want. Even moved to an island for three years, where I could even fish from my balcony. Keep up the good work, it is much appreciated! I enjoy vicariously tagging along for you various cookouts and foragings! Much love from Norway! edit: you remind me of my passed great uncle - lots of knowledge and skill wwhen it comes to fishing. he also taught me a lot. he used to be a machinist on ships going around the world. loved every second I spent with that man, and your videos are bringing me back some fond memories.nothing beats eating the day's cath over some late night fisherman's tales in his island-cabin from the 1800's, but your videos come damn close! cheers! have a blessed one!
I am honestly really very happy to hear that our videos are both interesting to you but also help bring back the joy of nostalgia for you. I am simply just sharing what I love doing in the hope that it helps. Wether that be through education or simply providing a positive distraction. Best wishes to you and have a wonderful day 😊👍🏻🎣
I love watching the videos not only are you a amazing steward of nature but I feel I could go fishing or foraging in the UK and do well with the education you have given us all.
Another nice trip John! I always watch your videos on the weekend to de-stress from work. Obviously a lot of work editing and so on is involved, but the atmosphere coming across to viewers is peaceful, calm and very relaxing! I am 100% with you on your fishing sustainably and also not fishing for sport. No animal is to be played with for humans edification! Great work John!
Don't get me wrong, fishing for me is a lot of fun. I love it. And fishing for fish I know that I am not going to eat doesn't stop me from feeling excited about catching them. But if you are going to release a fish, you need to treat it properly and with respect. 👍🏻🎣
John your PMA ( positive Mental Attitude) makes this channel so much fun to watch. I love that your content is very family friendly. My son is 3 this month and loves your channel. He loves it when Fish Locker Jr is with you. Once James gets big enough to do some fishing of his own ( without being as cautious) he should have a Fish Locker Jr channel for kiddos. Keep on reeling and catching and we will keep on watching. Hoping some of the tips and tricks I can use when we end up back in Florida
I am so very glad to hear that you are enjoying our videos with your family. Being able to share these things and experiences with my own family have been a deep joy in my life. James is at school now so cannot fish with me as much sadly.
That's cool man and I really do appreciate seeing people getting their kids interested in fishing and foraging in rock pools cuz theirs so much to learn plus if you like eating fish then theirs plenty of that too, I was lucky my grandad looked after in summer holidays in the 80s and instead of sitting me infront of the TV he took me to the beach or fishing off the pier, once we lost a huge skate off the pier it chewed through 40lb line in seconds but luckily myself and about 10 other people got a look at it. It was certainly a day I'll never forget. Anyway keep up the interest man it's the best hobby in the world 🌎
I would be over the moon with a session like that. You caught a variety of real nice fish there John. I would give anything to get amongst them. My mouth is watering for one of those bream, looks like a trip to the fish co-op for me in the morning. Keep up the great work.
Another superb video John. My thanks once again as I do get so much enjoyment in joining you on all your sessions wherever they may be. My best wishes to all the family.
When i was 8 i remember catching a whiting of the east coat, Bridlington my grandma showed me how to clean the fish, we then cooked in an iron skillet with butter, i can still taste that gorgeous fish 42 years later, fond memories
What a session ! 45 mins of pure bliss ! And dogfish to finish it off !!!! Ha I'll be down in Perranuthnoe in June and I just can't wait ! Thanks John 👍🏴
Great session and a great video thanks John - one of the best! Well done for dispelling the 'handling Mackerel' myth. Well done on the Bream too - I've never caught one but understand they are great eating. great variety of species. Shame the Ling was deep hooked but another tasty morsel for the freezer! Stay safe & well - Dave. 🎣🎣👍👍
Never a dull moment with you John. Always informative videos wit your great commentary & to go with it today you caught some lovely Black Bream , some delightful Wrasse, a Ling & of course, the inevitable Dog Fish oh, & an Eel. Great viewing as always John, cheers, Don from South Aust.
Excellent content John, it is the best on TH-cam! Every Sunday, I wait for your video and it makes my day. So much education and learning from your videos it’s incredible. Well done matey.
Yes it is the best channel on TH-cam for UK fishing. Who else has caught big tuna??? He wasnt targeting em though with the integra 130 n rod like a broom handle. No great whites in UK,.... But he was shark fishing. Ha. Good video. That graham from totally awesome fishing is a joke, who wants to watch somebody catch roach in a small pond with maggots? Haha. Muppet, we can all do that ourselves.
That bell gently clanging behind you, reminds me of the 'Mile Buoy' off our shore... Sometimes, I found it to be 'company' when you're stood on the end of the pier on your own....
I miss rain, rain, rain, weekly gales, and horizontal trees. Cross of St. Piran- white for clouds, fog, and surf, black for doom, gloom, and the colour of our hearts.
Well been away from sea fishing for 15 years. After binge watching you for a fortnight I have dug out my pair of Abu Atlantic zoom 464’s. I had conoflex, team diawa etc back in the day but sold them when I gave up. But I remember the 464’s and could outcast most and caught more fish with them than any modern carbon super rods. These haven’t seen the light of day for 20+ years. Thanks to you tomorrow they be getting wet. Just a shallow solway estuary mark near Annan. New line on my shimano GTX fixed spool and penn 525 mag. Keep up the great videos.
Another great video. Your so lucky to have calm weather down there, it's rare fishing off Newhaven with the prevailing south westerly's. With regards to your laying a scent trail down to attract the fish. A technique I have used to great success is to make a mackerel and other fish lollypop by putting guts and offcuts of the fish I've caught on a previous trip in a bucket and fill it with water. I then put a T of wood in the bucket with a short rope tied to it before putting it in a chest freezer. When going fishing off rough ground I clip the lollypop to the anchor chain before casting the anchor. The ice lollypop then sits just off the bottom slowly melting and releasing a massive scent trail and the odd titbit of food. Your bait will then sit in the middle of this trail and you will get massively better catches. Try it out and see for yourself.
I don’t need to mate. I already do something similar. But explain please, what happens if you have to haul the anchor in to re anchor for a better position?
@@TheFishLocker Then you do just that, If the lollypop has fully melted then it's all gone. If not then it goes with your anchor on repositioning. The scent trail will always be down tide of the anchor. The only problem occurs if there is a strong wind pushing you off to the side. However, if there's a strong wind your unlikely to be out there anyway. A bucket sized lollypop usually lasts about an hour or so. I suppose another way of laying a scent trail would be to attach a mesh bag filled with fish bits to the anchor, a bit like chumming.
Dude, love your fishing channel. The fish are a bit different from here in the US but the fun of fishing for the tasty critters in the same! God bless!
Lovely video John, I love all the extra bits of information with rig/anchor setups ect that you pack into your videos. As always mate cheers for sharing 👍
Catching up on your videos. What fantastic bream, so now I move on to the catch and cook. As always great content (love the harbour porpoise in the background) thanks for posting.
Top bombing sir! You make it look so easy catching mackerel. Some of the most entertaining and yet relaxing content on TH-cam. Your channel and content really help my depression and anxiety.
to be fair, catching mackerel is very easy, as long as you are where the mackerel are. they can be hard not too catch sometimes when they're in the area in my experience :P
@@TheFishLocker yes I did a lot of black bream fishing in Sussex over the years John great little scrappers lovey to eat also It's great to see them around Falmouth again We will be having a go for them on light gear this year.... Keep up the good work John 👏👏
Another great video John. Really enjoyed the content for a while. Remember, you don’t need to rise to every challenge, I know you don’t but very few are as knowledgable as yourself so let’s keep fishing. Kind regards
I'm not sure what it is you mean Oliver? Was there a period of time when you stopped enjoying the videos? If you have any constructive feedback I am always happy to listen. Take care and stay safe. 😊🎣
No no, I’ve been enjoying the content for a long while now is what I meant, that hasn’t stopped. I was just commenting on the anti fishing section at the beginning as it seemed to have frustrated you a little. Keep up the great work mate. Take care.
Hi John Great Video I like it when you said" I got 2 bait fish " I am thinking there is my dinner " Best Wishes to you and the family Best Regards Martin King
Good Nz morning John. As usual , another great video mate. I've been subbed with you for I think 2 years? And each episode never fails to educate/entertain. Thank you for taking the time to upload, and for sharing your experiences. Much appreciated. Hullo to the rest of the family too. Stay safe. Atb from down under.
Hi John Some beautiful black bream taken there buddy, excellent eating size too, I was out on the beach 2rods, last Friday night and a 7hr blank, 5hours up and 2 back, not a sniff, spring and summer beach I think, Perfect conditions, full tide at 9, giving 6hrs in the dark, frustrating. A least some are catching, maybe we all need to move to Cornwall, how many caravans fit in your garden, hahaha, Take care John, stay safe, regards to Hannah and the youngsters, and keep it lit 👍 my friend.
You must have slept well that night after that shift you put in, none stop action. Those bream certainly make a good account of themselves on the light gear. Tremendous action packed video John. Hope you weren't late at the school gates.
Regarding your razor clam foraging with a tub of salt. If you put a large amount of table salt in a 5litre garden sprayer and keep topping up with sea water it will last a whole session and no bending down as you just use the lance to spray high salted water down the holes.
You leave a watering can filled with saltwater for a Fortnite until the next set of spring tides? You see the point I’m getting at. Using salt in a bottle is more convenient and equally as effective.
Great session beautiful weather some beautiful looking fish can't wait to get my boat finished and get amongst them down south keep up the good work john
Sunday evening, the wind outside is doing crazy 120 km/h. You've just made yourself a mug of sage/mint + honey tea. You get a notification on YT that there is a new ~45 minute video of The Fish Locker. Best winter sunday evening possible 😊 Cheers!
So glad that you hadn't lost your touch with the dog fish, I think that secretly you like them. Hopefully you got back in time to collect James. Another great video as always, hope Jim enjoyed the bream.
@@TheFishLocker That comes across by the way you share your love of it. I enjoyed the recent shell fish chowder cooking. Desperately wanted some. Made a fish pie instead.
Got a new rod as a present, amazing 3.5m casting rod, gave it a small test today and amazing feel, bad thing was, forgot my bait ! And the area is always full of people, so now I'll be able to do some beach fishing because of that amazing casting! Entertaining to see a 1.50m man casting a rod almost three times his size ahahaha Haven't gotten any luck with my other rod but it was a very small one so, fingers crossed!! Great video and an amazing week for you and your family John!
True about the mackerel. We have also been using size 8 hook + feathers, and there's hardly a mark on their lips when we release the small one, or the big ones that we don't want.
Hello Sir, you are the best that there is out there in what you doing;showing a big knowledge and skills with admiration and passion I learned a lot from your videos as I’m a fisher man my self
As with all of my fishing videos. In the description I have posted links to some of the fishing tackle I use in the video. I hope it helps. 😊🎣👍🏻
John - When attaching your Conger or wrecking rig, do you fasten it to your main drop line with a Uni knot, etc., or do you prefer to use a snap swivel or some other fastener for quicker changes?

Good Nz morning John. As usual , another great video mate. I've been subbed with you for I think 2 years? And each episode never fails to educate/entertain. Thank you for taking the time to upload, and for sharing your experiences. Much appreciated.
Hullo to the rest of the family too. Stay safe. Atb from down under.
The channel has grown and taken on a life of its own. I have really enjoyed chronicaling our adventures and sharing them with you.
Watched a lot of your vids, the ring on the buoy is brilliant! Will be changing my anchor system soon
😉👍🏻 There are videos showing exactly how to use it.
Hi John
Some beautiful black bream taken there buddy, excellent eating size too,
I was out on the beach 2rods, last Friday night and a 7hr blank, 5hours up and 2 back, not a sniff, spring and summer beach I think,
Perfect conditions, full tide at 9, giving 6hrs in the dark, frustrating.
A least some are catching, maybe we all need to move to Cornwall, how many caravans fit in your garden, hahaha,
Take care John, stay safe, regards to Hannah and the youngsters, and keep it lit 👍 my friend.
Haha. Don’t worry mate, folks down here still blank. Especially at this time of year. The angler just finds the fish. 😉😛
Lol,don't complain about the weather. If you were here you'd be making ice fishing videos. Enjoying your content
🤣🥶
You must have slept well that night after that shift you put in, none stop action. Those bream certainly make a good account of themselves on the light gear. Tremendous action packed video John. Hope you weren't late at the school gates.
Haha. No I wasn't late but none of the other parents stood too close. I think the smell of squid and fish kept them off. 🤣
Regarding your razor clam foraging with a tub of salt. If you put a large amount of table salt in a 5litre garden sprayer and keep topping up with sea water it will last a whole session and no bending down as you just use the lance to spray high salted water down the holes.
You can spray 30 holes in the time it takes to pour salt in 5
And how do I get the salt back out of the watering can when I am finished without wasting it?
@@TheFishLocker you don’t you save it for next time.
You leave a watering can filled with saltwater for a Fortnite until the next set of spring tides? You see the point I’m getting at. Using salt in a bottle is more convenient and equally as effective.
@@TheFishLocker not a watering can a pump spray bottle
Great session beautiful weather some beautiful looking fish can't wait to get my boat finished and get amongst them down south keep up the good work john
Good luck bud. 👍🏻🎣
@@TheFishLocker thank you 👍
Are you fishing the sea angling competition in Portsmouth this year john
Sunday evening, the wind outside is doing crazy 120 km/h. You've just made yourself a mug of sage/mint + honey tea. You get a notification on YT that there is a new ~45 minute video of The Fish Locker. Best winter sunday evening possible 😊 Cheers!
Win win. 👌🏻👍🏻
So glad that you hadn't lost your touch with the dog fish, I think that secretly you like them. Hopefully you got back in time to collect James. Another great video as always, hope Jim enjoyed the bream.
I like them enough that I don’t curse them. 🤣
I'd be happy just catching the stuff you use for bait. Don't fish myself, but love watching it. Perhaps a bit of prepping and cooking too.
I just love all of it. 😊👍🏻🎣
@@TheFishLocker That comes across by the way you share your love of it. I enjoyed the recent shell fish chowder cooking. Desperately wanted some. Made a fish pie instead.
Got a new rod as a present, amazing 3.5m casting rod, gave it a small test today and amazing feel, bad thing was, forgot my bait ! And the area is always full of people, so now I'll be able to do some beach fishing because of that amazing casting!
Entertaining to see a 1.50m man casting a rod almost three times his size ahahaha
Haven't gotten any luck with my other rod but it was a very small one so, fingers crossed!!
Great video and an amazing week for you and your family John!
Remember mate. It’s not the size of the rod, it’s how you wiggle it. 😉🤣
@@TheFishLocker by far the best response I've read 😂
True about the mackerel. We have also been using size 8 hook + feathers, and there's hardly a mark on their lips when we release the small one, or the big ones that we don't want.
Im glad someone else feels the same.👍🏻
Hello Sir, you are the best that there is out there in what you doing;showing a big knowledge and skills with admiration and passion
I learned a lot from your videos as I’m a fisher man my self
Thank you. 🐟
