Thank you for sharing with us. Take care, be well
Excellent stuff as always!
Nice one John
John you did have that female before not long ago i remember her dodgy claw too but nice to see good conservation on the grounds you work unlike some other areas ,great videos as always john keep them coming your getting bigger on the channel, great stuff
Informative as always John, great to watch.
Enjoyed as always John 👍.
Super start to my Thursday John, thank you, and greetings from Cyprus. 🦞🦞🦀🦀🦞🦞
Your Tiny lice are Mysid Shrimps, Mysis sp. are a Coastal species of small crustacean which form the
part of the macro planckton that feed our fish stocks, this time of the year they are extremly prolific and
a vital part of the food chain. The word 'vermin' is not appropriate. Apart from that agreat video and
very enjoyable.
Wow awesome size she was 🩶🤍🩵💙👍🦀🦞❤️❤️🔥😍😘🥰🤗🫶🏻
I hope the weather improves. We're all down to Cornwall 1st week September for a family holiday.
I love watching you do the pots there, John. You never know exactly what you're going to catch.
Brilliant John. That red pot full of crabs they were on fully inclusive holiday hotel 😂😂😂👍
a V notch is a tramp stamp for lobsters
And by the way you are dressed John,cold too
Hi John, another good vid, however I think I have a question for you that you have not ever addressed about your pots. How can you be sure that when you shoot a string that the pots land base side down?
Great question, I've wondered that myself.
The pots are weighted, so the heaviest side will always land on the bottom.
Easily the most relaxing non-asmr channel I've found. I used to fish with my Dad in my teens, but he's long dead now, so this brings back some positive memories.
Cheers John, all the very best pal.
I am glad that you enjoy spending time with us Nick. 😊🦞
I think that’s a seals that has popped up at around 13:36 then swam by.
Right that's it you're getting a hauler 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I had to take my last crab trap up because someone stole our other 2 😒 at least i can live vicariously through you!
You can't have nothing nice. Always someone to spoil it. Shame.
Thanks for commenting on that. I had wondered, as you know. 👍
I remember you doing the lovely lady lobster with the wonky v-notch too. The old granny lobster though, she's a stunner. Wonder how many she's already hatched out? A real beauty. 🥰
She was a mighty struggle today but a success just the same. Thanks for another great video!🦞🦀
I believe it's possible for the coloration to have an impact on the lobster's attitude. I've seen that firsthand in a snake; she was an albino, and I can't help but feel that she _knew_ she had no camouflage, because she was a fighty-bitey maniac...until she realized that it was a human in her territory (handling, cage cleaning, ect). She trusted humans, and felt safe with us, but until she realized that was a hand and not a paw or mouth coming at her, she'd bite. Soon as she figured out it was a person, she settled straight down and turned as sweet as pie.
How long in months or years would it take for those lobsters and crabs just under size to be able to land
You already have a pot hauler, it goes by the name of John!💪
Great video John. Havent heard christ on a bike for a few years 😂 👍. I like the attitude toward respecting commercial fisherpeople, and giving them their space, no dobut that will work both ways. Fantastic lobster. Its good to see that other people are doing their bit with the v notching. 👍
Excellent vid as ever John, hard graft for you there mind! You really do enthuse with your knowledge and I love your conservation minded approach marra, 10 / 10
A pleasure as always John, love to all the family and keep saving the breeders x
I wonder what's the weirdest thing John has ever seen in the pot?!
To me, the weirdest things to get into the pots are the rocks. It is not as if the lobsters and crabs take them in for something to play with while they wait for their pots to be lifted. The rocks are not interested in the bait either. I would love to hear theories of how they get in there.
You’re a great ambassador for fishermen and fisherwomen , well done Jon
What about fisherthems😂sorry but had to say it....oh and by the way, I'm a fisherman 😂
@@frosty-hi5jf😂😂😂
@@frosty-hi5jf let’s not have any of that nonsense around here.
We are simply sharing what we love doing Jonathan. 😊🦞
AGAIN ,,,, NOTHING LESS THAN JUST SUPER 🎉,,, WHAT A FANTASTIC CHANNEL,,, INFORMATIVE,,, FUNNY,,, REAL,,, DOWN TO EARTH,,, AND EDUCATIONAL,,, VERY 😮 WELL DONE,,, THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION AND CREATIVITY.. BE SAFE,,,
Great video as always John. I have 2 questions. Do you need somthing like a lisence or permit to fish, as you say, as a hobby? Do people take (poach/steal) from your pods? Like the way, like a true sheppard, you handle your lobsters👍👍👍. Love from Holland
So, you got me thinking. You mentioned the lice in your cages on sandbars. I took my grandchildren to beach at low tide, and they played on and in the sandbars and came back bit by what I thought we sandbar flees but maybe they were lice? Who knows. Took them home, put cream on them an off they went.
Hi John, was that the same seal in the background of your second and third batch of pots.
Hi John, I'm just being nosy, but how much does it cost to get a string of crab/lobster traps? The ropes, the buoys, the other stuff that goes along. I know you do this for pleasure (and wonderful dinners) so the cost probably is well worth it to you.
One other question for you...do you have a crab that produces meat like a snow crab? Your brown edibles look like our stone crabs, the spider looks kind of like the snow crab bit much smaller.
Bit of a snotty day out there on this one John, certainly a workout,but hauled dinner for you and your best boy so not a blank mate. Really great to see the v notched females, long may they produce. Appreciate the big effort on this one 👍🏼🦞
The male lobster with all the white coloring was beautiful. I love seeing the color variations.
Was that a seal in the background when you were talking about your fishing grounds?
Nice rough one for you to keep you awake on these early mornings. nice to see the notch system working crack on
You have a nice operation & setup. The manual labor will keep you in shape. Only you know how to do what is good for you. Enjoy your content. The crabs you toss back are a species I’m not familiar with. I watched your channel for about a year & you release them all being undersized. They look like they mare delicious & are obviously highly regulated & protected. That being said in s year or so I see s crab harvest in the horizon.
Hi john I also remember you v notching that lobster with the deformed v notch quite recently.
John, when the lobsters are kept out of water, say while you are attending to the pots, does it make them lethargic?
better than going to gym John, do the pots fish better with loads of growth on them or do they just get heavier and do you jet wash them after a period of time😊
Please go into ore detail about not having a hauler, aside from cosmetic reasons.
Well done again my friend. I always enjoy your videos and appreciate the repeated educational bits you put in. I learn alot and enjoy your videos even more because I have a little knowledge. Thank you!!!
I reckon i know what those "hefted" boats get up to. Great content, marra !!
Hello John i dont know if you heard but in whitby down by the old fish market they are opening a visitor centre for lobster hatchery thought you might be interested
Nice to spend a Wednesday evening watching you doing the pots John. Wonderful stuff.
I didn't have a bit of trouble hauling that string. I don't know what you are huffing and puffing about. You have a hauler already, James just need to get old enough to do it.
Lobster pots - Cornwall Gym! Hey John, you often tell us about notching a female breeder but wouldn't all females (and males for that matter) be breeders? Are there female lobsters who never breed? Perhaps you can explain that to us. Thanks!
In any population of animals, not all are successful breeders. Not all human women are fertile. Regarding males, as a general rule, biologists only even count females when they study breeding. That's because while one male can fertilize many females, one female can only produce eggs to be fertilized so often in her life. Like one woman can have one child about every two years, but a man could father children once every couple of days for years. So you can take out 90% of the males and still produce just as many juvenile lobsters.
Thanks John, Very interesting as always.
Brill female, hope she produces loads of eggs!
Well done. Grand video.😃💪🍀🦞🦀🎣
Never disappoint. I love you brother
Hi John, just wanted to ask if the catch laws are different around the UK? Was watching another channel, Troy’s fishing, and he seems to keep a lot of the lobsters and crabs, much more than the couple you are allowed.
Troy’s fishing is a channel island fishing channel from Guernsey, they have different laws to the UK.
Great vid as always John. The Vee notch idea is a great bit of thinking. I assumed all the females bred.
Brilliant video John, as always. A couple of questions for you. Those red pots on the second fleet looked beautifully constructed. Did you make them yourself? And, do you think the colour of the netting on the pot makes a difference to how effective they are and what you get in them?
My favorite type of videos you do. Thanks. Its like im there on the boat.
How do you guys know where you put the traps in the ocean do you have to have a tracker in it or something?
I think they tie a buoy to the end of the rope after the last pot goes in?
@@Fantomb145 oh yeah that would make sense 🤣 I thought it would be something like that
What’s with the giant Ukrainian dungarees?
Don’t worry John, James will be able to haul the pots for you soon 😂😂.
Many times your videos have brightened my day up, even more so today as it's 2 weeks since I came back from my holiday in Cornwall, . Missing the place already !! Cheers John 👍🏴
Why is the size for female brown crab smaller than males
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂, still need a winch jon ,
Don't suppose it's very easy buying one R/H glove..lol
They usually come in pairs
Hey John !!
I completely understand that you want to haul the pots by hand and do it as long as you can . If your like me though , when you can't haul them by hand any more , I hope you consider a small pot hauler . Right now , I know that's a curse word !!! Unthinkable !!! I completly understand !! If your like me , you will miss it too much and there's NOTHING like catching and eating your own lobsters !!!
No need for a mechanical pot hauler when John has an organic one in training. Give James a few years and he will help out his ancient and decrepit old man by hauling his pots for him :)
@@carlyoung6111 Got it in one, Carly. He'll know the crack in about 10 years time, when he's strong enough. Mind you, he might not entertain it !
Hi John or Dr who how can you be in Canada and out on the boot at the same time?
Magic 😁 (and pre-recorded videos hehehe)
"Out for another Cornish-stunning Summer day.." John, I couldn't have said it better. But being out in the boat is always better than being behind the desk at work...right?
Such amazing lobsters!! How much would you say an average tail weighs (without the claws and other body parts) on those you keep? Just curious. Thanks. Dig, DmGrk.
Not the nicest conditions to be out in that, thanks for bringing another great video! You brought me 30 minutes of piece as the two young ones were hooked watching it 👍🏼 😊
Great video as always John some nice lobsters there 👍🏻 just back from Cornwall went fishing of some rocks I thought might be good ended up with 22 mackerel my freezer is full my girlfriend not happy 😂😂😂
The first and only time I had fresh lobster was several years ago on Anglesey. From a local. It was FANTASTIC. can't afford it now. Landlocked.
It's always great to sit back & enjoy your videos John. You just make them SO relaxing & informative at the same time & I don't even get blown out hauling the pots ha, ha. Great stuff mate, cheers Don from South Aust.
Answers the question, what if John Locker became a personal trainer?.
"When do we start the workout?" . . .
"Not yet, the current isn't ripping enough for another hour and we're working out with rope pulls today".
Nice lobsters again by the way (as usual).
Hi John, first thing, are you in the UK or are you still in Canada ?? If you’re back , looks like you’ve picked the worst day to pull up your pots.. Don’t worry I’m not going to ask about the watch u mer call it , that helps with the pots … In any way, glad to see you back . R
Met some good lads on Mull recently - scattering me Mam's ashes - met them in the pub obviously. Got an invite out for the day on a local lobster boat. I asked the lad who wasn't the skipper, if I could just take a rod and drop a line. I got told to feck off in several languages LOL! They had an 11 hour day the next time they went out - thank Neptune they said no and I didn't argue.
I remember pulling me dad's anchor up on his / our 16ft Orkney Longliner. Soon learned to use the swell to get it up - 10 years old, helped with my Rugby and Judo career and love of the sea.
Urgghhhh! If it's above a 4 I'd be sick as a dog! Millpond conditions needed for me! Keep up the good work, you're doing a grand job for the armchair fans like me!
Love your videos--just wish you got to keep more crab!!--I don't really like lobster. But I LOVE crab.
I watch u-tube videos from fishermen in the Canary Islands, v-notching is not done there. They wish they had that law. It’s so good to see these laws being adhered to in Cornwall. You are so honest John, we need more people like you.
People keep commenting on you getting a pot hauler, if a pot gets hefted (stuck), it makes no difference how big a hauler is, I have seen a trawler nearly get pulled under with a heavy winch, the only way is to go around like you do and let the boat do the work, yes, it's hard work hauling by hand but very fulfilling !!
What happened to the mountains of BC, sunny skies, and 8ft sturgeons, haha.... back to the grind 😅 always enjoy your content.
Awesome again John, weather there same as here wet ,windy ,cold .Happy catching from Australia Nick
OMG ! I would not be a good fisherman ... I almost got seasick just by looking a this video 😂😂😂
Sod the hauler... There will always be people that choose the elevator, and those that take the stairs (maybe even on tip-toes). Some people are simply born/bone idle. Keep'em coming.
I note you always throw the Spider crabs back. Knowing nothing about crabs... is it because they have not enough meat?
John the first lobster you caught before on the new ground ,did it travel far from we’re you caught it first time ? And do local lobsters travel far ?
You need a hauler ... 2.11 ohhh
Always enjoyed John, nice lobster sent back notched. Not easy hauling those pots in that swell mate. Thanks take care👍
Your a gluten for punishment, but it does keep you fit 😊at my age it would be a big heart attack he he 😢wishing you and your family well
I’m new to your channel but really appreciate the information you provide. Thank you for a great video and channel!
Another excellent video mate 👍
Back to earth after Canada with typical English weather! I was surprised that you didn't renotch that other lobster. Bet that you were glad to get back to port.
Lovely to see that big girl going back,and the other one i remember you notching her.great video john.keep up the good work.thank you.
I think the lobster girl went into your basket on purpose to be further protected^^ Greetings from Germany to you and your family
Love the content as always and thanks for doing it. Out of curiosity why would the hauler not work? I know nothing about working pots haha
I love the respect you have for for fishing conservation and your videos are the most informative I’ve found on the net .
Keep it up fella it’s fantastic 🙏🏻
Me and my husband love your videos please please listen me
be careful your back not damaged your body because hard work you doing every day must be careful your health take care
How I wish I had the guts to get out to sea. This video's look so attractive and free. Nice vid, keep them coming
Very enjoyable to watch as always, many thanks for sharing Mate!
Cheers
Rob.
Two previously catched lobsters again in the same video. It's time to give them names!😉
Obviously your hands are tied to some extent by the weather and tides, but is there a maximum time limit either legally or that you apply yourself to how long you can leave your pots out?
