Only 9 mins into the vid, and just had to comment. As a beginner and a subscriber to over 100 TH-cam fishing channels, looking for guidance, this was the epitomy of viewing! Shows the whole central core of your family's philosophy; Changing the way of learning how to fish from each other and to us lucky viewers. Learning from each other, knowledge passed down through generations, father to son ; John to James. As you pass on your knowledge from Your "East Yorkshire" roots. The scene of teeth-gritting dad and a concentrated and full of anticipation of James hunting a "Medium Wrasse", was just so touching. Loved it !
Derek Allport - That young man is the greatest thing in my life. And what you described is absolutely what this Fishlocker stuff has been about. Sharing and helping others to learn and enjoy fishing. We are changing fishing, you might not yet see it, and might never physically notice it. But we are right now changing the mindset and the way people view and feel about fishing and sharing information. 😊🎣💙🛥
Yep spot on great stuff isn't it.. imagine every youngster could have a start like this with such lovely parents... be few less problems in this crazy world we live in.😀😀🥰
Who needs expensive trips out when you can have fantastic family days like this and teach your kids whilst having fun is all i can say....great video John 😀🎣
Martin Roberts - Couldn’t have put it better myself. I have been saying this to folks. You don’t have to go massively far or do anything super special. Just time on the boat with your family or friends is time well spent. I love it. 🐟🛥🎣👍🏻💙😊
I can't stop smiling during this and I can only give one like!!! I took my six year old boy sailing this weekend and he fished as well, as a team effort we caught supper! He started sailing at 3.
Stephen Thomas - Thats fantastic to hear Stephen. 😊 That really is the joys of life right there. Sharing what you love with those you love and seeing them find joy in it. 💙🛥🎣 Clearly some folks don’t agree 14 dislikes?
@@TheFishLocker I am afraid there are some real tw....ts out there. I watch sailing stuff as well, some are good and some are bad, but only the ignorant feel they need to put a dislike. You keep what you are doing, because you do it very well. Regards, Stephen.
Good to let us enjoy your special moment with your family mate. Respect. 60 years time. You will have a wealth of great memories to watch. Fab video, youngens a class A angler in the making.
Red band fish !!!!! Fished in England for nearly 40 years and never heard of them before . Goes to show you live and learn , well done James for showing Dad how it's done .
Something truly delightful just watching you fish as a family it’s not even about what your catching...I come from a fishing family although more fresh fishing although did some salt with my mum and dad over the years and I know how much you’ll all but especially your little lad with treasure these memories sadly lost my parents in recent years but this has brought happy memories flooding back
Matthew Hancox - It truly is gold to me spending time like this with the family. 😊💙🎣 I’m sorry for your loss Matthew but pleased we could take you down memory lane with us. 👍🏻🎣🐟😊
I only recently started fishing (about two months ago) even though I'll be half a century on my next birthday! I found this channel and absolutely love it! Young James is so fortunate to have this opportunity at a younger age! At 7:57 you can tell him he had been cheered on by a South African dude that now lives in Invercargill, New Zealand! (If you show him on a globe you can see that you cannot be further away!) Very happy for him mate and *love your channel.* Thank you so much for sharing! It is appreciated.
I loved fishing when I was younger, and I'm endlessly attracted to the water, but I readily confess I follow you as much for your calm joy of family as much as your fun and informative fishing or shellfish gathering. You live a life of gratitude, and many of us in this turbulent world need that gentle reminder of what is good in life instead of the worry box topics the TV would have us believe is our everything. Thank you for sharing it with us, and for living as a family part of a larger family of humanity. Many of us were not allowed to have such a family, yet we cherish it and every other one like it and unlike it. BTW, my people were from Leeds over a century ago before emigrating, and I visited there in 2004. "Along the way" we stayed in Camborne for two nights. As cool as St. Michael's Mount was, it was the Parish Church at Camborne that we enjoyed most and the warm Cornish welcome we received. They had a bell peal, too. I will never forget it. And it was Mothering Sunday. Quite a memory.
- I have learnt in my short life. That the happiest people, are those who take joy in the simple things. Best wishes and good health to you and your family. :)
AngryIrishRednecks - It’s something that we have just introduced them to at a young age. Hopefully by teaching them a love and appreciation for the world outside it will stay with them forever. 😊👍🏻🎣🛥
JAMES! "Gonna catch a medium wrasse... there you go, you've heard it from the man himself." Love the vids with the whole lot of you! *PS, we love Hannah. Just tell her to throw a finger up to the haters*
Under The Radar - Haha. He knows what he wants. Low and behold he catches himself a medium wrasse. 😆🎣 We don’t let negative people stop us doing what we love doing. We will just show less of it on camera.
Mark Kyte - He is an absolute star!! We’ve had some cracking session out on the boat him and me. Here we got his first fish on his own rod. Another vid he has his first ever bass, then another his first ray!! He’s a proper fishing natural!! 😆🎣🐟👍🏻
Bit of an understatement but watching a father teach his son how to fish is pretty amazing, he will have gained knowledge well beyond his years and you know what they say about knowledge.
Shane wickham - This is what the whole Fishlocker thing has been about. Sharing and passing on knowledge and experiences. It doesn’t have to be to your kids. I’ve shown new things to veteran anglers and learnt new tricks from lads half my age. It’s all about sharing what we love with others. 💙🎣🐟😊
What a great event to have the complete family along to wittiness and participate in a big day for the lil guy. It’s great to visit with your family. A very fine family at that. Hello 👋 to all from the U.S. and thank you for sharing another fine adventure.
Isotelus - We have a teenage girl aswel but she doesn’t always want to come along. Can’t understand why a 13 year old girl wouldn’t want to go fishing? 🤷🏻♂️ haha. Tight lines my friend. 👍🏻🎣🐟
Thank you! You are absolutely compulsive viewing and brilliant at making the viewer feel that they are actually there on the boat with you. Your love of the sport of Sea Fishing is infectious and I for one am definitely HOOKED. Lots of love and best wishes to you and your beautiful Family.
Oh man your videos make me smile. Your wee man James is so lucky to have parents like you guys. He getting a fantastic grounding of how to be a good good lad. Keep these videos coming please 😀
One of the best fishing video I v seen on youtube even I have subscription from lots of Irish and Uk fishermans.What the great time.Congrats beatyfull famili.
Really nice to see you all out together as a family enjoying each other's company John ...Time's to be remembered and cherished, video games have a lot to answer for . shared family enjoyment outdoors is a rare commodity nowadays unfortunately. Regards Gummy.
Gerald Swain - We don’t have any games consoles in our house Gummy. My lovely wife and I do our very best to make sure we bring our kids up with a love and appreciation for the outdoors and nature. And I decided that I would do whatever I had to to allow them to grow up with the use of a boat. 😊👍🏻🎣🛥
Well done, It's a refreshing change to see a youngster grow up learning invaluable lessons about nature, the sea and to actually catch a fish too...Brilliant! Beats the 'brain numbing addiction to video games that so many youngsters seem to be afflicted with! My three daughters are all grown up now but we had loads of fun rock pooling and fishing when they were young. Make the most of these days John as you blink and they have grown up! But the bonus is 'taking the grand children fishing next!
- Haha. Taking "the grandchildren" for me will hopefully be a good while away yet. I have honestly been waiting since before our little man was born to be able to teach him these things. It is our joy for me. :D
Best Family day out ever, reminds me of my childhood, never heard of or seen a red bandfish well done to your son, your videos have reignited my passion for fishing, thanks.
- That is wonderful to hear Jon, I am so glad to hear you've caught the fishing bug again. We love it, and days like this on the boat are my idea of perfection. :D
I don’t understand why anyone would want to send negative input on your Chanel, there must be a lot of sad people out there, you have a wonderful Chanel and family, I’m so glad I’ve found it . Just brilliant 👍👍👍
- Thank you very much Clive. I think that too but I am biased :D A few of the negatives are rival channels and jealous people - others are just negative people. You often find they are negative about every part of their lives and just want to complain. Sad really. I am glad you're enjoying the content and have a safe night. :)
Oh gosh my heart just burst when James reeled in that wrass. (I think that is how it is spelled), Family time is so important. Love all the information you are able to give.
- Shannon I know exactly what you mean. I am so so glad I have these moments on film so I can watch them again and again myself. I am so proud of that little man. You should see this one, its my favourite. th-cam.com/video/uEtDNmKmDTI/w-d-xo.html
mikeblackburn33 - If I do get out I’ll give you a shout Mike. Next year when the little man is better we’ll be travelling more. Right now we stay close to home. 👍🏻
The excitement of catching those fish on his first fishing rod will stay with him his entire life and hopefully cement his love of fishing good luck for the future little man and many a tight line for the future 🎣
- It really was a special moment for us. You should see his first bass and ray on that rod. He makes me so proud. th-cam.com/video/uEtDNmKmDTI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/w42vxvBM0-g/w-d-xo.html
Can't believe I missed this one. Great family fishing day out. So pleased channel has exploded, I remember when you only had a few thousand. You put the work in and amazing result.
- Thanks mate, yes its been a lot of work but its really great to see the community of people that has grown around the channel. All sharing knowledge and experiences. It really is wonderful. :)
@@TheFishLocker i think many of us also appreciate the fact you manage to find the time to respond to so many of our comments. That is what Carl and Alex fishing does, and I think that is one of the many reasons they are so successful. At the speed you are growing you will likely outgrow them. Best sea fishing online bar none (no need to respond!!). All the best.
Ah this one is lush mate! Happy days..lovely watch.. takes me back to my first fish with my old man, precious times not forgotten..good man creating the same memories with the little'n.. tutu wrasse! love it ))))
Mr Key - Haha. He cracks me up when he recounts his battle with the Tu-Tu Wass!!! Nothing I’d rather be doing on a fine day that out on the boat with the family. 😊🎣🐟🛥💙
@@TheFishLocker I bet mate you cant beat that vibe its pure health!! Dang.. and everyone needs a Tu-Tu Wass.. they should name a Jigg after that..Gold! ;-)))
Absolutely brilliant mate making such great memories for James.. He will always remember this day,beats being sat inside on iPad hands down...loads of kids will never ever experience nowt like this!!!??!!i take my 2kids with me to work at weekends on the farm they love it and get so much life experience for
Paul Clarke - We had a lovely day on the boat, it’s just a shame we don’t get to do it more often. Next boat I get I’ll have to get one with a cabin and beds. That way the teenager might come along. 🤣👍🏻🎣
- I think you are right John. Also one of the most important things I think more people should understand is that the parents you had, isn't nearly as important as the parent you are.
Great family fishing video! My youngest grandchild is named James after my late husband named James and my son-in-law's twin brother's middle name is James. Honoring two great men. One passed on, but always in our hearts and my SIL's only brother his twin also a James. He is a delight to me. He may be the size of a healthy 5 year old, but he won't turn 4 until this coming fall. I am very blessed with all my grands and great grands!
For me your best video, this is the essence of fishing. Never quite knowing what you're going to catch with your family. What a big pouting! You all have a great Christmas! Regards from Yorkshire
- Thanks Giles. This was a really brilliant day for me. Just a happy day out on the boat with the family. Even if we hadn't caught much Id have still loved it!! :) All the best mate and wish the family a great Christmas.
Another great video John, and it looks like it was fantastic weather! 👍👍 Lovely to see you all out together, with Hannah once again giving you some advanced fishing tuition, and you in turn passing it on to young James! 🤣🤣 I loved the unusual 'Tutu' Wrasse, and wish young James a happy TH-cam Birthday!! Those Red Bandfish are incredible - I'd never heard of them until I saw you catch one a little while back. 14.28 > - Stop gawping and look after yer own Rod!! 😉😉 Nice 'Manta' Ray too! Tight lines mate!
@@TheFishLocker Thanks for the reply John - the Missus went to bed about 2 hours ago, and I thought I was the only daft bugger still up & on TH-cam!! 😉😉😊😊
@@TheFishLocker As I thought then! Guessing Train or Bus, & as I worked lates/nights for over 20 years before I got sick, curious to know what you're working at till this time on a Saturday, but don't expect you to say owt on here!! 👍👍 Sleep well when you get in - I'm going to try for some myself.
Z Worm - They are just stunning. The atmosphere and soundtrack is just brilliant. Really calming. I love them. They’re not so much an educational video, more an appreciation for the atmosphere surrounding fishing. 😊💙🎣
@@TheFishLocker agree! I watch a detectorist Terragermania who also does remarkable camera work. You present the education and exude fun too! Each has it's place!
It does this father proud to see a father that spends time with his wife and son. The problem in this world is family members all do there own thing and families are not as close as previous generations. My dad taught me to be a responsible fisherman and my two sons are also responsible fishermen. You hooked me. I’m glad to be one of your subscribers from the US in Kentucky.
- Thank you Sir and you are most welcome on our channel. I have honestly been waiting since before our son was born to be able to teach him these things. We absolutely love being out on the boat and the shore, and what is better than doing the things you love, with the people you love?! Take care and best wishes to your family. :D
Good mixed bag fishing there John, loved the red band fish, don't see many of them round my parts!! Nice to see you introducing your lad to fishing, hopefully it will stay with him forever!
Shore Fishing Essex - When you come down I’ll see about finding you one mate. 😉👍🏻 Aye, any luck and he will keep this love for fishing and the outdoors throughout his life. 😊👍🏻💙
Definitely John we're losing too many kids to their devices these days, mine included!! They still love to come fishing though thank god! Those tides for the rest of the year are not looking the best but we'll sort something out, I'll be in touch mate.
stinking polecat - He’s has a few great fish already but this was his first one on his own rod. He managed a near 4lb mullet on his own a while back. The lads a natural.haha. 😊🎣🐟💙
Lovely to see you all having a great family day out on the boat. Young man not wrong about catching a wrasse on his new rod! Great video John, really enjoyed watching and a treat for me....the lynx helicopter.! (I’m ex forces so loved it mate, thanks) All the best, Graham.
Graham Allen - We see them that often down here I guess we take the spectacle for granted. Glad you enjoyed the video Graham, we had a great day. All the best mate. 😊🎣
Loving your videos and how the whole family is enjoying a beautiful hobby in beautiful cornwall. Keep up your great work . I shall be heading to devon / Cornwall once this lockdown is lifted thanks to your inspiring stuff
Malc Proud - We don’t have a PlayStation or games console in the house Malc. Absolute waste of life. Especially when you could be out doing what we love on the boat. 😊👍🏻🎣 I get used to being outfished by the Mrs and kids.lol
Michael Bird - We are a really outdoors family and we trying our best to teach the kids a love and appreciation for the natural world around them. 😊👍🏻🎣🐟🛥💙
@@TheFishLocker Reality beats the screen anytime. I love the wildlife you can see while fishing but you have got to be alert to it or you don't see anything.
Peter John Ayton - Thankyou Peter. We love to be in the outdoors and there’s nowhere I’d rather be than fishing with the family. 😊🎣💙 The rad bandfish are quite a specialised capture. You need to know where they are. 😉👍🏻
👏👏👏 for your son first fishing catches! This was a nice video to come across. It was nice to see your family fishing together. Your wife knows what she is doing! You guys are good!
Trojs Fishing - One of my old fishing friends used to say that. I’ve never brought myself to eat one. They are one of the stinkiest fish we catch. Great bait. But that’s as far as I go with them. 🤣
@@TheFishLocker Yes they need to be gutted quick after death then they are ok. I always let my father have any large ones as they are his favorite eating fish.
A big thing missing in today's society is the family bond unit which is so important to how the children develop and move forward and then instil that same thing to their lives it's the simple things in life that are really rewarding and important
great vid John pleased to see young james catch his first fish on his own rod and he knew what he was targeting and got it too lol so good to see a family out enjoying themselves tight lines to you all
martin gibson - Thankyou Martin, I absolutely love days like this. Nothing I’d rather be doing on a sunny day than be out on the boat with the family. 😊🎣👍🏻🐟🛥
big thank you for your videos used your methods today on a wreck and have been trying hard with no success today the weather gave me a chance to hit a wreck and landing the only whopping ling thanks
- Teaching my young son to fish and about the natural world has been one of my life greatest joys. I am so glad that we can share our videos with you all. Take care sir and have a great say. :)
What a beautiful day and James is so happy. And he also got to see his dolphins what a good video for families. That's why I share. The ocean is so blue. Really Nice.
Lovely little rod for the little guy, looks like one of the ice fishing rods we use over here. Lovely video again guys , amazing viewing as always , thanks again to all of you :)
John he’s got the best teacher ,great to see the wifey out with you , family’s a credit to you fella keep them videos coming addictive viewing,I hope you and family have a great Christmas and new year. I’ve got to ask fish or turkey for Christmas?👍🏻🇬🇧
- Thank you Mark. I really am at my happiest when out enjoying things like this with the family. We're at the in-laws this Christmas so its a big one. Turkey, ham and pork joint. Blooming marvelous!!!
fantastic video, congratulations young master james on your first fish, if he follows in his dads footsteps there will be plenty more fish to come, something very nice seeing a family out enjoying themselves as a family,,best wishes
Wot a fab family day out John, congratulations to James on his 1st fish, 👍, a few years time James will be out on the boat and you will be making Sunday dinner, lol,
Martin Thorpe - Haha. He was made up with his new fishing rod, though we have had to put it away safe in the workshop for fear of him having one of our eyes out round the house. 🤣 Fingers crossed for more family fishing trips 👍🏻🤞🏻🎣🐟😊
Great video john as always You have a lovely family Not many wife’s would go fishing with there husbands U r a lucky man Congrats to young James on his first catch
Declan o hagan - Thankyou Declan, I am a very lucky man in many ways. I took Hannah fishing for her first trip when we were first courting and she’s been keen for it ever since. 😊🎣👍🏻💙
\\\\fantastic,really enjoyed sharing your proud moment as your little fella pulled out his first fish.you really deserve to have your own show on terrestrial tv,as you have a huge understanding of hidden landscape,tides,lures,bait presentation etc but most of all your videos are informative,interesting exciting and involving! Big ups for a job well done,tight lines!!
There's the fam. Yaay. James is just smiling. Tell James I never saw those type of fish before and thanks for sharing also tell your better half the same.
Excellent video ! Can always remember all the times I went fishing with my grandad and they were the best, the passing of knowledge is so important. I was jealous when my eldest caught a scorpion fish before me on the lrf gear 🎣👍🏻
Tom H - I remember talking with my grandad when I was younger. Talking about crab pots, salmon nets and long lines. You are right. So so important to carry on the passage of knowledge. 😊🎣🐟💙
Hey John, love your videos...a man after my own heart - I know its hard to change the habit of a lifetime, but it's a sliver, not a slither...that's what snakes do! Keep up the excellent work and hope to meet you on the high seas some day. Fantastic stuff, I cannot praise you highly enough.
@@TheFishLocker I know John , I'm a teacher I can take it. And as with millions of others in isolation at the moment your excellent videos are going to be an important lifeline for many...keep up the good work! Cheers cK,😁

- Haha. Taking "the grandchildren" for me will hopefully be a good while away yet. I have honestly been waiting since before our little man was born to be able to teach him these things. It is our joy for me. :D
Family time is the best time spent , your a great husband and father, well done my friend :)
Daz Harrison - Haha. I’ll have to show my wife this comment. 😉😛🎣👍🏻
Best Family day out ever, reminds me of my childhood, never heard of or seen a red bandfish well done to your son, your videos have reignited my passion for fishing, thanks.
- That is wonderful to hear Jon, I am so glad to hear you've caught the fishing bug again. We love it, and days like this on the boat are my idea of perfection. :D
Yeah it looks tranquil, nice we can all go fishing again, first time in 8 months for me tomorrow, happy fishing and tight lines mate.
Jon Ball - Tight lines Jon. 👍🏻🎣
Well done, nice to see the future of fishing is in good hands.
Tight lines
Richard
- Thank you Richard. Tight lines. 👍
I don’t understand why anyone would want to send negative input on your Chanel, there must be a lot of sad people out there, you have a wonderful Chanel and family, I’m so glad I’ve found it . Just brilliant 👍👍👍
- Thank you very much Clive. I think that too but I am biased :D A few of the negatives are rival channels and jealous people - others are just negative people. You often find they are negative about every part of their lives and just want to complain. Sad really. I am glad you're enjoying the content and have a safe night. :)
Oh gosh my heart just burst when James reeled in that wrass. (I think that is how it is spelled), Family time is so important. Love all the information you are able to give.
- Shannon I know exactly what you mean. I am so so glad I have these moments on film so I can watch them again and again myself. I am so proud of that little man. You should see this one, its my favourite. th-cam.com/video/uEtDNmKmDTI/w-d-xo.html
your best video yet John ,family time Awesome 👍seeing your son happy fishing made my bad day go away
mikeblackburn33 - 😊 Thankyou Mike. Seeing that little man smile and chuckle just melts me. 😊💙🎣
if there's ever a time your up North Wales fishing, it would be a great honour to go fishing with you
mikeblackburn33 - If I do get out I’ll give you a shout Mike. Next year when the little man is better we’ll be travelling more. Right now we stay close to home. 👍🏻
This is a very nice video. Everyone is having fun, and Fish Locker Junior is excited about catching his first fish.
- Family days out on the boat are my favourite. :)
Wonderful show, loved seeing your wife and son fishing with you. Looks like you will have a good first mate for years to come. Congratulations.
- Thank you. We love getting out on the boat together and its my idea of a perfect day. Take care and stay safe. :)
A man who spends quality time with his family is blessed, wtg!!
- I agree with you John. This is my idea of a perfect day at sea. :D
The excitement of catching those fish on his first fishing rod will stay with him his entire life and hopefully cement his love of fishing good luck for the future little man and many a tight line for the future 🎣
- It really was a special moment for us. You should see his first bass and ray on that rod. He makes me so proud.

excellent short film showing how a family can have fun out fishing.
james Lovell - We love it. I cannot think of anything better than doing what I love with those whom I love. Perfect. 👍🏻🎣🐟
you guys are awesome....what yall have is a hell of a goal to aspire to
- We are just enjoying spending out time together and sharing what we love doing.
Can't believe I missed this one. Great family fishing day out. So pleased channel has exploded, I remember when you only had a few thousand. You put the work in and amazing result.
- Thanks mate, yes its been a lot of work but its really great to see the community of people that has grown around the channel. All sharing knowledge and experiences. It really is wonderful. :)
@@TheFishLocker i think many of us also appreciate the fact you manage to find the time to respond to so many of our comments. That is what Carl and Alex fishing does, and I think that is one of the many reasons they are so successful. At the speed you are growing you will likely outgrow them. Best sea fishing online bar none (no need to respond!!). All the best.
Ah this one is lush mate! Happy days..lovely watch.. takes me back to my first fish with my old man, precious times not forgotten..good man creating the same memories with the little'n.. tutu wrasse! love it ))))
Mr Key - Haha. He cracks me up when he recounts his battle with the Tu-Tu Wass!!! Nothing I’d rather be doing on a fine day that out on the boat with the family. 😊🎣🐟🛥💙
@@TheFishLocker I bet mate you cant beat that vibe its pure health!! Dang.. and everyone needs a Tu-Tu Wass.. they should name a Jigg after that..Gold! ;-)))
Absolutely brilliant mate making such great memories for James.. He will always remember this day,beats being sat inside on iPad hands down...loads of kids will never ever experience nowt like this!!!??!!i take my 2kids with me to work at weekends on the farm they love it and get so much life experience for
Ian Towers - Life is to be enjoyed and what better way than encouraging a love and appreciation for the world outside. 😊🎣👍🏻😉
nice family day out the little one will remember that day for a long time keep them tight
Paul Clarke - We had a lovely day on the boat, it’s just a shame we don’t get to do it more often. Next boat I get I’ll have to get one with a cabin and beds. That way the teenager might come along. 🤣👍🏻🎣
Imagine all kids could have a start like this , fishing with both great parents?? Fancy this mad world be a lot better place 🥰🥰🥰
- I think you are right John. Also one of the most important things I think more people should understand is that the parents you had, isn't nearly as important as the parent you are.
Great family fishing video! My youngest grandchild is named James after my late husband named James and my son-in-law's twin brother's middle name is James. Honoring two great men. One passed on, but always in our hearts and my SIL's only brother his twin also a James. He is a delight to me. He may be the size of a healthy 5 year old, but he won't turn 4 until this coming fall. I am very blessed with all my grands and great grands!
Great family video. Thanks for showing the set up too, I love fishing but im new to sea fishing. Tight lines🎣😎
cheryl ashbrooke - Well I hope you find the videos on the channel helpful. If you have any questions about the videos, give them a comment. 👍🏻🎣😊
@@TheFishLocker Thank you so much.🎣😎👍
James' reaction to that Wrasse!! Love it!!
- He is just a treasure isn't he. So so proud of him. :)
LOVED it as always! Thank-you yet again to TFL team!
- It is our pleasure. 😊
For me your best video, this is the essence of fishing. Never quite knowing what you're going to catch with your family. What a big pouting! You all have a great Christmas! Regards from Yorkshire
- Thanks Giles. This was a really brilliant day for me. Just a happy day out on the boat with the family. Even if we hadn't caught much Id have still loved it!! :) All the best mate and wish the family a great Christmas.
Another great video John, and it looks like it was fantastic weather! 👍👍 Lovely to see you all out together, with Hannah once again giving you some advanced fishing tuition, and you in turn passing it on to young James! 🤣🤣 I loved the unusual 'Tutu' Wrasse, and wish young James a happy TH-cam Birthday!! Those Red Bandfish are incredible - I'd never heard of them until I saw you catch one a little while back. 14.28 > - Stop gawping and look after yer own Rod!! 😉😉 Nice 'Manta' Ray too! Tight lines mate!
Trampster - Haha. Thanks mate. The little man is mad for it now so he’ll probably be on a few more videos showing off his fishing talent. 😊🎣👍🏻🐟
@@TheFishLocker Thanks for the reply John - the Missus went to bed about 2 hours ago, and I thought I was the only daft bugger still up & on TH-cam!! 😉😉😊😊
Trampster - Haha. I’m travelling home from work mate. You are the only daft bugger watching TH-cam in the early hours of a Sunday 😛
@@TheFishLocker As I thought then! Guessing Train or Bus, & as I worked lates/nights for over 20 years before I got sick, curious to know what you're working at till this time on a Saturday, but don't expect you to say owt on here!! 👍👍 Sleep well when you get in - I'm going to try for some myself.
Another fine video! Just enjoyed a Sweetcorn Kid video too, search for a winter flounder. I see why you enjoy them, beautiful! Thanks.
Z Worm - They are just stunning. The atmosphere and soundtrack is just brilliant. Really calming. I love them. They’re not so much an educational video, more an appreciation for the atmosphere surrounding fishing. 😊💙🎣
@@TheFishLocker agree! I watch a detectorist Terragermania who also does remarkable camera work. You present the education and exude fun too! Each has it's place!
It does this father proud to see a father that spends time with his wife and son. The problem in this world is family members all do there own thing and families are not as close as previous generations. My dad taught me to be a responsible fisherman and my two sons are also responsible fishermen. You hooked me. I’m glad to be one of your subscribers from the US in Kentucky.
- Thank you Sir and you are most welcome on our channel. I have honestly been waiting since before our son was born to be able to teach him these things. We absolutely love being out on the boat and the shore, and what is better than doing the things you love, with the people you love?! Take care and best wishes to your family. :D
Good mixed bag fishing there John, loved the red band fish, don't see many of them round my parts!! Nice to see you introducing your lad to fishing, hopefully it will stay with him forever!
Shore Fishing Essex - When you come down I’ll see about finding you one mate. 😉👍🏻 Aye, any luck and he will keep this love for fishing and the outdoors throughout his life. 😊👍🏻💙
Definitely John we're losing too many kids to their devices these days, mine included!! They still love to come fishing though thank god! Those tides for the rest of the year are not looking the best but we'll sort something out, I'll be in touch mate.
This was wonderful to watch, thank you, what a beautiful day too
- This is a really special video for me, and the one where he catches his first bass. Such happy times. 😊
The Fish Locker , James was so excited 😆
great to see your young lad catching his first fish,great memories for you and him
stinking polecat - He’s has a few great fish already but this was his first one on his own rod. He managed a near 4lb mullet on his own a while back. The lads a natural.haha. 😊🎣🐟💙
Lovely to see you all having a great family day out on the boat. Young man not wrong about catching a wrasse on his new rod!
Great video John, really enjoyed watching and a treat for me....the lynx helicopter.! (I’m ex forces so loved it mate, thanks)
All the best, Graham.
Graham Allen - We see them that often down here I guess we take the spectacle for granted. Glad you enjoyed the video Graham, we had a great day. All the best mate. 😊🎣
Loving your videos and how the whole family is enjoying a beautiful hobby in beautiful cornwall. Keep up your great work .
I shall be heading to devon / Cornwall once this lockdown is lifted thanks to your inspiring stuff
- Thank you Joe and thank you for waiting until it is safe to travel down here. Take care. :)
Hi John,,,I am working my way through watching all your content which again are awesome,,,,just takes a bit of time,,,lol
- Haha. I'm not surprised mate. We have well over 100 vids. ;)
Just sitting here with a beaming smile, love watching your videos, not gonna be long before your co-star completely steals the show!! Atb Pete
- Haha. Both the Mrs and the little man out fish me often. It wont be long at all before hes telling me what to do. :P
That waas crackin John, you make a good team you Fishlockers, thanks.
Russell FitzPatrick - Best team around mate. Hannah and the little man catching all the fish and I drive the boat. 😛
Cracking video John, nowt like being upstaged by the wee man and ya missus! Lovely to see a family out fishing together away from the playstation lol
Malc Proud - We don’t have a PlayStation or games console in the house Malc. Absolute waste of life. Especially when you could be out doing what we love on the boat. 😊👍🏻🎣 I get used to being outfished by the Mrs and kids.lol
Good family fishing video something you don't see to often nowadays. Red band fish is one i had never heard of before but lovely looking fish,
Michael Bird - We are a really outdoors family and we trying our best to teach the kids a love and appreciation for the natural world around them. 😊👍🏻🎣🐟🛥💙
@@TheFishLocker Reality beats the screen anytime. I love the wildlife you can see while fishing but you have got to be alert to it or you don't see anything.
Best use of those kayak rods I've seen! What a great way to spend a day with the family. tight lines, the lot of ya!
Chris Painter - Thanks Chris. It just made sense. They’re short and light and have a narrow grip. Perfect for little hands and arms. 😉👍🏻🎣🐟
Wonderful family
David Quadagno - Thankyou David. All the best. 👍🏻🎣🐟
What a great video of a family enjoying a day out in the fresh air .
And quite informative - never seen a bandfish before.
Peter John Ayton - Thankyou Peter. We love to be in the outdoors and there’s nowhere I’d rather be than fishing with the family. 😊🎣💙 The rad bandfish are quite a specialised capture. You need to know where they are. 😉👍🏻
Great family video John. Thank you for taking us out with you. As always, thumbs up mate.
Nomad - Cheers bud. Tight lines mate. 👍🏻🎣🐟
👏👏👏 for your son first fishing catches! This was a nice video to come across. It was nice to see your family fishing together. Your wife knows what she is doing! You guys are good!
- Its not unusual for both my wife and our boy to out fish me when we go out!! Haha
Brilliant to see you out with family looks really nice. Fingers crossed the wether is nice for bank holiday.
David Murdoch - Aye mate, I really hope it stays as forecast. 🤞🏻🤞🏻👍🏻🎣
Superb Pout they make great eating steamed with some bread butter salt & pepper,
Trojs Fishing - One of my old fishing friends used to say that. I’ve never brought myself to eat one. They are one of the stinkiest fish we catch. Great bait. But that’s as far as I go with them. 🤣
@@TheFishLocker Yes they need to be gutted quick after death then they are ok. I always let my father have any large ones as they are his favorite eating fish.
Congrats on your captures James.
Cracking video as always John& family
tattoedmat - Thankyou very much Matt. Tight lines buddy. 👍🏻🎣😉
A big thing missing in today's society is the family bond unit which is so important to how the children develop and move forward and then instil that same thing to their lives it's the simple things in life that are really rewarding and important
I absolutely agree Barry. 😊
great vid John pleased to see young james catch his first fish on his own rod and he knew what he was targeting and got it too lol so good to see a family out enjoying themselves tight lines to you all
martin gibson - Thankyou Martin, I absolutely love days like this. Nothing I’d rather be doing on a sunny day than be out on the boat with the family. 😊🎣👍🏻🐟🛥
Fantastic video great to see you fishing with the family
stephen hanks - We love getting amongst it mate. Nothing I’d rather be doing on a nice day than out of the boat with the family. 😊👍🏻🎣🛥
big thank you for your videos used your methods today on a wreck and have been trying hard with no success today the weather gave me a chance to hit a wreck and landing the only whopping ling thanks
auto technology - Brilliant to hear mate. Really made up for you. 👍🏻🎣🐟

Living the best life that kid! Great video
Isn't he just!
What a beautiful day and James is so happy. And he also got to see his dolphins what a good video for families. That's why I share. The ocean is so blue. Really Nice.
- This was a truly wonderful day afloat. 😊
Nice fish James and nice to have family out too mate
JAMES COWANS - Thanks James, he’s a star. He has me in stitches whenever he tells me what he caught. 🤣🤣 Too-too wasse dad!! I love it. 💙🎣🛥🐟

davie-m - Thankyou Davie. All the best mate. 😊👍🏻🎣
Wot a fab family day out John, congratulations to James on his 1st fish, 👍, a few years time James will be out on the boat and you will be making Sunday dinner, lol,
Martin Thorpe - Haha. He was made up with his new fishing rod, though we have had to put it away safe in the workshop for fear of him having one of our eyes out round the house. 🤣 Fingers crossed for more family fishing trips 👍🏻🤞🏻🎣🐟😊
Great video john as always
You have a lovely family
Not many wife’s would go fishing with there husbands
U r a lucky man
Congrats to young James on his first catch
Declan o hagan - Thankyou Declan, I am a very lucky man in many ways. I took Hannah fishing for her first trip when we were first courting and she’s been keen for it ever since. 😊🎣👍🏻💙
@@TheFishLocker one might even say she's "hooked" on it! 🤣 #DadJokePartyOfOne
Really enjoying your videos
Great to see you with the family all having fun ....keep it up fella 👍🐟🐟🐟
- We absolutely love it out on the boat. Theres nothing I'd rather be doing than out fishing with the family. :)
@@TheFishLocker your a good man john 👍
\\\\fantastic,really enjoyed sharing your proud moment as your little fella pulled out his first fish.you really deserve to have your own show on terrestrial tv,as you have a huge understanding of hidden landscape,tides,lures,bait presentation etc but most of all your videos are informative,interesting exciting and involving! Big ups for a job well done,tight lines!!
Dean Barnett - Thankyou very much Dean. It’s just us sharing what we love doing. All the best. 😊👍🏻🎣🐟
Great fish James. Thanks for sharing that. Good health and stay safe.
RHINO 54 - Thankyou very much. All the best my friend. 👍🏻🎣😊
There's the fam. Yaay. James is just smiling. Tell James I never saw those type of fish before and thanks for sharing also tell your better half the same.
I shall tell them, glad that you enjoyed the video, Rosemary. Best wishes!
Excellent video ! Can always remember all the times I went fishing with my grandad and they were the best, the passing of knowledge is so important. I was jealous when my eldest caught a scorpion fish before me on the lrf gear 🎣👍🏻
So happy for James! Excellent catch !!!
Tom H - I remember talking with my grandad when I was younger. Talking about crab pots, salmon nets and long lines. You are right. So so important to carry on the passage of knowledge. 😊🎣🐟💙
Hey John, love your videos...a man after my own heart - I know its hard to change the habit of a lifetime, but it's a sliver, not a slither...that's what snakes do! Keep up the excellent work and hope to meet you on the high seas some day. Fantastic stuff, I cannot praise you highly enough.
- Haha. It might be "slither" with your accent but not mine. :P Take it easy mate and stay safe. Ill see you on the water some time. :D
@@TheFishLocker... apologies John, my ears made a mistake obviously. You are indeed a fine teacher and entertainer - full respect!
Chris Kennard - Haha. I’m pulling your leg Chris. 😛
@@TheFishLocker I know John , I'm a teacher I can take it. And as with millions of others in isolation at the moment your excellent videos are going to be an important lifeline for many...keep up the good work! Cheers cK,😁
Great day out with the family John, excellent.👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣
gary murray - We had a great day mate. 😊👍🏻🎣
Ha ,great too,too wrasse James,cracking little fella,thanks for sharing.!!

Such a nice way to spend time with family.... another great one John. !!!!
CastaNet Fishing & Kayak Adventures - Thanks mate, just sharing what we love doing. 👍🏻🎣😊
All my years sea fishing never heard about red band fish.love your vidios👍🎣
- Every days a school day. ;)
The Fish Locker very true . I live in Dorset and fish out of Weymouth are the red band fish mostly to the west?
charlie Brown - There is a mark off Plymouth and Weymouth I have heard of them caught. So you never know. 😉
The Fish Locker many thanks il have a word with Josh the skipper to try for some 👍🎣😀
Great video John,can't beat getting the little ones interested at an early age.Quite agree with your view on wasting precious time !
kevin buckler - There is nothing I’d rather be doing than spending my day like this. It’s just such a shame when life gets in the way.
great vid again and nice to see the whole family, never seen the red band fish b4.
Ian Miller - Aye mate, no better way to spend the day. Those red bandies are a specialised capture. You generally need to know where they are - or be incredibly lucky.
Looked like a spectacular day for fishing!
- Thank you Evan, it was in my opinion a perfect day at sea. :D
The Fish Locker do you have halibuts in the UK?
