ive learned a lot from watching your videos! thanks you very much,always a joy to watch👍✊❤
be cool to see a video how to cook a conger eel ! nice video thanks for sharing !
I've never seen either of those fish before. Do you eat them?
Really liked how you included footage of some getting away; it added to feel of being there. :)
Good show john, I tried your anchor rig last saturday & it worked like a charm, thanks for showing it to everyone, I'm never hauling an anchor by hand again if I can help it. LOL, hope the family is doing well keep up the good work I've gotten three people in my family to subscribe to you hoping to get more as well good channels deserve support & community to try & build their exposure.🦀🐠👍🏻
Daniel S - Thats wonderful Daniel thank you. And as for the anchor rig, it is my pleasure. Our whole platform and the videos are simply about the sharing of information. Take care mate and tight lines. 😊👍🏻
It's gonna be a good video... because they always are :)
True
- I do love fishing. 😊🎣💙
The Fish Locker it shows! Thanks to you I’ve been making up rigs for the last 30 minutes 😅 i never pre prepare rigs but as you say, if they aren’t ready when you need them it’s lost fishing time, obvious tip but a great tip 👍 tight lines
i have never fished at all and have no desire what so ever to get into it. I don't particularly like sea food apart from a fish supper , but I really enjoy watching your videos
- That truly is wonderful to hear. I guess it shows that the video is good viewing. 😊🎣💙
@@TheFishLocker cheers you are a top lad and your vids are chilled out, beautiful scenery in this one.
He's just a really likeable bloke I think. Also after watching a load of his videos I can almost understand the accent now, lol :)
For those still struggling, "Bohhhht" = boat, a sailing vessel. "Oooop" = up, a measure of verticality.
@@davidsmith6859 Good one! 😂😂😂
Well done for keeping this a family show and controlling yourself when you were about to swear. As with all your content fantastic video packed with tips and fish and some great scenery. I've now got my wife and my mother watching your videos and I am sure both will be subscribing. Your coastal foraging and exploring videos are of huge interest to my mother as she explored Cornwall with my father for over 50 years. My father started writing a book (with photos) of Cornish Wells as they are quite unique, unfortunately he never got to finish it. As always thanks for posting.
- It is our pleasure David. haha. Yes I try my best to keep the curse words out of it.lol. I frequently have to edit James' out!! Haha.
"probably because I am one!" super video John
Haha thanks Jason!!!
Recently moved away from Cornwall up to London. Used to fish pretty much every day down helford. Miss it like hell. Thanks for the videos!!!
- I wouldn't want to live anywhere else I'm afraid.
What a terrific day afloat John...when watching your vids I am right there with you ashore or in the boat....without a doubt yours are the best fishing vids on the “inter web”.....Thanks a million for all your time and efforts..not forgetting Hannah and of course James “The Boss”.....Best wishes to you all......Bob(IOW)
- As I keep telling you mate it is our pleasure. I am glad that you could join me. 😊
Fishing is the calmest soothing thing until the bite. Then its just a lot happening at once. Been ages since I fished. Mostly lake and small river. Tried going out on the sea to fish a couple of times. Learned that I easily get sea sick and spent the time trying not to barf :P
Haha. Thats unlucky. Some people just don't like the sea. I do still get sick on occasion. Its not nice. 🤢
So informative so calm your videos are a delight to watch. Looking forward to the next one.
- Thank you, we do our best to keep them chill and yet informative. 😊
One of the best fishingmen on TH-cam
- Thank you Romas. 😊
What can i say but freggin awesome pal to say the least, as usual you can catch to order by a country mile and all your tips and advice are well welcome, all the best and tight lines Peter .
- Thank you very much Peter. It is our pleasure. Im just glad you could join me. Tight lines mate 😊
Fantastic, thanks Fishlocker man, man. So many different wrasse even ones of the same species its mad. Such diversity under our nostrils, really loved the best video of 2021.
Thanks Tony. 😊
Now that is a Monster Conger! Weather has been somewhat brilliant- I looked at the Sky yesterday and thought to Myself John must be out on his wee Boat 😀
- Haha. Im out on the boat at every opportunity. It was a good fish but I want a 60lber.
I really enjoy watching your videos, and listening to your sound advice, to which end, I've invested in a kru xf PFD, for when I'm fishing off the rocks, as in the past, I have slipped, I look forward to the next installment of the Fish locker
- Good choice John. It often takes a slip or a tumble before you realise the importance. Take care mate. 😊
@@TheFishLocker absolutely, but they used to be so big and bulky, but having seen yourself, and the video you did on the KRU, made up my mind, so thanks and keep the videos coming.
.Your knowledge and experience speaks for its self thanks for taking the time to film this. Wonderful stuff
- It is my pleasure to share these trips with you, I hope they help folks out. 😊
Absolutely cracking good video. I learned an awful lot and, at times, it had me in stitches. Brilliant!
- Haha. Well thats good all round then isn't it? Glad you enjoyed the video😊
Class John matey love wreck fishing hopefully get out myself on Sunday on a few mark off seaham all the best form Sunderland 👍
- Good luck mate. There are conger up there but folks just don't target them properly.
We add 2 20 plus conger Last weekend and a 33 ling plus a few smaller ones all the fish fell to wrecking rigs loaded up with whiting and squid and some snap glow sticks on aswell great stuff John matey loved the Scotland skate video we go to burrowhead camp site and fish of the rocks it’s wick of Pollock and thorn backs the harbour is a great spot for rays at low water cos of all the razor clam beds love it up there matey

Just about five minds in not falling for that come on mate one more cast or maybe 56789 lol great bid as always jon
- Theres always time for one last cast. 😊
great stuff
- Thanks. Malcolm.
Beautiful day👍
- It sure was. 😊
@@TheFishLocker Sweet
Brilliant John as always... I would say your more intertaining and interesting than Jeremy wade.. Tbh I know your a 1 man band at times but I wish there was alot more content.. But I understand it takes time.. Hopfuly we will see Mrs fish locker and master fish locker doing a cook with the ling.. Thank you for everything your doing it's amazing what your doing.. It would be good to have content in the commercial end and let all of you 138k subscribers see that end of the businesses aswell.. Cheers John
- Jeremy Wade in the beginning was great. Now its all a bit too overdramatic for me. How do you mean in the commercial end Robert?
@@TheFishLocker commercial end as going out and showing people the commercial end works like scalloping of beams boats net boats etc etc or even a underwater diving for scallops would be most interesting watch... Yeah Jeremy wade is very over dramatic
Great vid again mate, and nice to see the barber's are back to work in Cornwall
- Haha. It was long awaited. 😊
Nice sea conditions as well. CHEERS
Yes it was!
Nice one John
Cheers mate
I'm Latvian immigrant in USA and I grew up with parents who smoked eels in back yard. Wondered why people in your area don't eat the Conger eels? It looks really much larger than the ones eat ate. Loved smoked eels on dark Latvian Rye bread. Yummy.
Conger eel once were fished commercially. Now they are not considered good eating fish.
“I also like a muppet....probably because I am one”😂😂😂😂 awesome video as usual
lol u silly sod😂✌
Almost spat my coffee all over my tv when he said that😂😂😂😂
- Haha. Just a bit of Yorkshire dry. 😉
Honestly I'd be happy enough to fish for the mackerel and the pouting.
- Haha. A fish is a fish, Im happy just to be on the water some times. 😊
excellent video pal
- Thanks Paul. 😊
It would be so good to catch some nice fish there where you are and take in all the beautiful country and then go to the pub and have a pint or 2. What a dream
- Its is often the simple things in life isn't it. 😊
i am an English ex-patriot in the U.S and i didn't know how interesting the wildlife could be in the North Sea!....
the diversity of underwater life around the whole of the UK is fascinating
another great video bro well done
Cheers John :)
Funny about the mackerel me and my dad were on our boat the other day and first cast i caught a 2lber.
- Nice. We’ve had quite a few jumbos lately. But just solo big ones.
34:31 HAHAHA, I lost it there mate!
- Haha. Just a bit of Yorkshire dry for you mate. 😊
Great video as always. Fancy doing a swap of cap and polo for a cruising blue zonk 🤔👍 maybe do a bit of fishing and swap 👍 14/8 until 21/8 👍😘
MiniMan 7 - I’m always slightly cautious of a “MiniMan” who blows kisses. 🤣
The Fish Locker hi john the kiss means “sweet” 🤣 I’m coming to Devon with my wife and son, we are only a couple of hours away from you and they can explore nearby for the day. I sell lures on eBay my user name is P506sgp and I am setting up a site called premiumlures.co.uk my Facebook is Jon hart so you can check me out, I am an avid angler of all species, saltwater and fresh water. Check my Facebook out and my videos @ pikemanjon on TH-cam 👍
The Fish Locker miniman was my sons account as I forgot the passwords for pikemanjon and jonhart many years ago 👍🤣🤣🤣
fresh cut is looking nice la
- Haha. Cheers Marra. 😊
Awesome video! Do you guys get White Sharks or Bull Sharks?
- No we don’t. Just blues, Porbeagles, threshers and the occasional mako.
Love your videos!! One question occured: Have you ever caught a released fish twice? ;-) Wish you the best!
- There is an area of reef that my friend and I fished a lot last year and there was one stumpy eel there that had part of its tail bitten off that we caught half a dozen times over the year. 😊
Great video again John lovely fish do you have to report when you catch a certain weight of a conger I think I read it in a fish magazine or am I wrong keep your family safe tight lines
- You can report it to your club or to the BCC but its not mandatory. If you want to try to claim a prize some mags do do specimen awards. 😊
Never be afraid to discuss things like the dispatching/bleeding side of things. It's an integral part of 🎣 & as good for people to learn about as baiting up. Especially from someone like you who will do it humanely and quickly.
- I agree Dawn. But sadly not everyone is willing to see 2 sides of the picture. They are only interested in pushing their own opinion and agenda. And that type of negativity would be harmful for the channel and the community that has grown around it.
@@TheFishLocker I can understand that John. You're protecting something very special you've created that's enjoyable to everyone from the age of 0 to 100. It's unique. So many are geared just towards the lads that ignore a huge army of other people & families who love fishing. Its a shame the ❄ & keyboard warriors can't see how much pleasure the sport brings and wholesome it is & deal with the fact this is how people eat food
Hey John another epic video mate. My name is Karl. I met you on a charter boat last year with Andy. I was the carp fishermen with the Travis Perkins crew lol. Im not sure you'll remember. You may have seen me waving on Saturday over by the manacles reef on my boat. I assume this video is from that day in the boat. I seen you stop and start chatting to Andy. My Mrs said imagine if that's the fishlocker......I said it actually is and started waving like a mad man 😂 I'm now officially more of a sea angler, in no small part down to your videos. Keep up the good work and congrats on smashing 100k subscribers
- I think I remember the charter, though I can't place what it was like fishing wise. Aye this was the day you saw me steam up and have chat with Andy, I was dropping a fish off to one of our friends who was aboard. Was it a small red boat with a forward cuddy or am I imagining it? Cheers, next stop 200k. 😊
Ye my boat has a cuddy but it's blue and white. Ye the trip last year was productive, lots of species and still haven't beat my pb ling I caught on that trip. Look forward to more vids bud 👍
Quality vid mate 👍🏻
- Glad you enjoyed it George. 😊
Do you know what the wreck actually is? And can you try to get a Gopro down there for us please? If its clear enough....
- I know what it was but at that depth it is near pitch black - I have tried and the camera comes back black.
The sign of a veteran fisherman, standing steady in the boat. A beautiful huge fish with a leech on his eyeball. Man, the things you must encounter along the way! Lol.
- Every day I learn something new. So fascinating. 😊👍🏻🐟
You personify the phrase “living the dream”. Top vid as always bud 👌🏻
Haha thank you Fred
I second this comment
👍👍👍😜🏴🦄🎣😁🤞✌️
And deservingly
Great video. I so want to visit the UK someday. Right now this corona has gone stupid in the states. We are supposed to be the land of the free. At times like these there seems to be too much freedom not enough rules. Thanks to riots and stupidity all over wearing a mask we are in the thick of it again except worse now. I am 58 years old I just hope this all ends before I am too old to get there. Love the fishing. Great to see. God bless and take care.
- I understand what you mean Sandra. Personally I think it is because everyone has been too worried about offending and hurting peoples feelings for too long. Things have gotten out of hand. Entire generations don't know how to show any restraint or respect. Sad. Very very sad.
Another gudden!!! Just wondered, does ling cook like cod? We don't seem to get it in Sheffield!!
- Its more fibrous than cod, but equally delicious. We make fishcakes out of it. 😊
Hi mate, thanks for another upload! Hope all is well.
Quick question.. what would your ideal conditions be (weather, tide etc) for some Pollack shore fishing?
Pollock*
- Hi Tony. Deep water. Rocky terrain and a good run of tide.
"Lost Fishing Time" what a quote mate. Make a T shirt out of that 😉
Haha that is a good idea
your anchor rope comment reminded me of posa and his paracord rats nest.....now matter how well you arrange it....when you need it, it is a rats nest. XD
when you catch a lot of ling are you allowed to donate them to like retirement homes or homeless shelters or could that be considered commercial fishing and you would get in trouble?
- Sadly mate you aren't really. Its all a health and safety thing now. I would gladly keep more if I could donate them to an old folks home.
Couple of questions, if I may, John.
Is it possible to find out the history of the wrecks you fish? Name of the ship, year it went down, lives lost, etc? I just find it a little eerie, but also fascinating.
You often mention fishing gear, is this nets laid down by large commercial boats? Are they fixed, or drift nets? Again, I just find it all fascinating, but don't fully understand what you are describing.
Thanks mate, keep up the GREAT work!
That weather is amazing. And that sea at 6:13 is stunning. Bit jealous, cause all we've been getting in the Midlands is grey and wet.
I'd happily take some grey and wet. I'm in Texas, and it's been about 106° F, and dry as ever. If we don't get rain before too long, the drought'll be back with a vengeance...
@@therepairsloth We'd happily trade.
Staggering sea. Like a mill pond. I'm colourblind but even I can appreciate that colour.
- On a good day there is no better place on Earth I don’t think 😊💙
Massive school of mackerel came in today, full houses all around, fished until early morning caught my first thorn back ray off the pier, it was an absolute beast, it’s now 2:30AM I’ve got work in 6 hours and you’ve just uploaded, fucken hell what a day 😂
- Haha. Result!! Well done on the ray. 😊
John your videos are so informative it's unreal I've learnt so so much from you already also I can imagine just James will be bright as a button by the time he's 10 lol he'll be showing you up ha ha anyway take care and thank you
Haha thank you! I'm glad that you find our content informative and he sure will
🔥
😊
Yo John send me one of those blue baseball caps... proper tidy them mate.. I don't mind paying either
- Its all on the Fishlocker fb page mate
@@TheFishLocker I'm not on Facebook John.. I don't do social media other than TH-cam
As my eldest lad would say John, your in-laws are going to be well pleased with that catch...
- Haha. I adore my father in law. He gets most of our catches if we don't eat it our selves. 😊
Conger!!!!! Rather you than me John
- Haha. Theyre great fun mate.
Always give a thumbs up even before I watch coz never disappointed..just great stuff always😅😅😅
Thank you so much John it's really appreciated :)
So I'm guessing that Conger Eel is not very good eating considering how you toss them back!
- You guessed right Lindsey, they are not even targeted commercially any more as they are such poor eating fish. 😊
Quality as Always . ............. Wish we were getting the same weather , Ever get any Moray's ?
What era is the wreck from am intrigued WW2 era or later ?
- We don't get any Morays in the UK. I don't know about this wrecks history tbh, most are wartime wrecks though.
Great videos. On iur harbour one of the staff says we cant target or land cobga eel in 2021. Have you heard this . Kit
You have always been allowed to land conger eels? There has never been a restriction on them. They are just worthless at market.
Fantastic video! It occurred to me during the video that your new hoodie caption might be:
Jus’ like at !
- Haha.
Brilliant video, masterclass in wreck fishing and you Absolutely are Not a muppet!! More please!!
- Haha. Thanks Howard. I do love my wreck fishing. 😊
By the way nice haircut .
- Haha. Thank you. 😊
Are congers good eating John? I thought I heard you say in one of your other videos that they’re not good eating but I can’t remember for sure.
They are not good eating at all. 🤢
😳😳 I can not believe you catch those freaky eels! They look like a cartoonish caricature of an eel you would see in a low budget movie! 🤣😂 You are one brave dude. Have you ever been bit by one? 🤢
- They are like something from a sci fi film aren’t they. Haha. There is a short video on the Fishlocker fb page where one bites hold of my boot.
@@TheFishLocker Going to look for it now!
OMG. I would have freaked out! Do they attack swimmers or are they in too deep of water? I don't know how you can swim knowing what all in down there. 😂🤣
Muppets hooo👊👊👍
- Thunder... THUNDER!!!! THUNDER MUPPETS.. HOOOOOO!!!!!!
Hi there Young John, if you are laying out 400 plus feet of rope. How much line do you carry?
- 600ft.
Hi there Young Mr Fish Locker and junior. Thank you for that.
Always a bit of a laugh, always an education!. Nice one!... 🙂
Glad you enjoyed the video mate.
Can you do a ling catch and cook, I hear they are great eating??
- There is already one on the channel. Have a look in the Catch and Cook Playlist. 😊
Brilliant, will have a gander. Cheers
Well, I've learned something today, it seems not conducive for cooking as a fillet then 🙁
Keep wearing that hat! Sun is cumulative! Love the vids! Keep it up
- Its my ears that catch it most.lol.
How are you not wearing shades? 😎 this is so fucking interesting. Makes me want to buy a boat.
- I do wear sunglasses but only when I'm staring at the water a lot. Otherwise I don't really like wearing them. 😊
conger ell,,not had it for years..cant seem to buy it.its the tastiest fish around,?xx
- Not many folks still eat it now Carole, it’s not worth anything so commercials don’t even bother now.
Great video as always john. Have you ever tried conger to eat. Silver eels are nice but never tried conger.
- I’ve tried it a couple of times Neil. Not a fan of I’m honest.
I smile all the way through your VideosLove them all.!
I am glad you enjoy them
You have a great channel. Underwater camera! I wanna see those big ones come up from the deep.
- The water is too deep to put a camera on the seabed and as I film solo it isn’t really possible to film and reel in a monster.
Great vid as always, John. Regarding the tangling line, The fire service method for not having a line tangle is to put one end in a bag/sack and feed the rest in haphazardly. When you need the help rope either throw the bag so the line follows out. Or just pull the line from the bag. Sounds complicated but if you try it you'll find it works.👍
- I have 600ft of it. I don't think that would go in a sack. Haha.
Absolutely lovely day out there. Earlier in the video, you wouldn't have been able to tell sea from sky if it weren't for the clouds.
You said ling are part of the cod family? Do they taste similarly, or do they have their own distinct taste? Also, thank you for explaining how you dispatch them. Quick and as painless as possible.
And that one conger was huge! Super slimy, too, he was. They definitely look like they've got some good fight in them.
- It was a great day, cod and long taste different but equally tasty. Cod are flaky and ling are more fibrous. Conger are great fun to catch, you should try it if you get the chance. 😊
Fishing off the Brittany coast when about the same age as your James. Mum snagged the bottom. The skipper said she had a conger and that I should be put in the fish barrel. Skipper was huge so was the bloomin fish...I watched from the roof of the boat. Once on board the conger was whacked about five times with a table leg filled with lead and still wouldn’t die. Couldn’t get it into the boot of the very small rental car so gave it to the fisherman for soup.
- Haha. Yeah they are very tough fish. Ive known them be alive and being after and entire day in the fish box.
Hope your MIL has a sharp knife !!! Ling are so tough, remember fishing the English channel and bringing 6 boxes of ling back and had toi gut them all on the way back. More exhausting than fishing !!! :-)
- Haha. Mother in law would know what to do if I gave her a full fish. But yes, a sharp knife is very important.
Conga ratulations on a great session, cheers.
- Thank you very much, I am glad you enjoyed joining me. 😊
Best thing to come out of lockdown for me love the channel endless hints and tips love it, my first Alderney anchor retrieve was flawless cheers John keep up the good work
- Thats is brilliant to hear Greg. The real test is when you get one stuck.haha. From a small boat like mine it often helps to do cirlces back and forth and to let out more rope. 😊
Small boat like yours😂🤣🤔 I'm in the 14ft club , honestly pal good on you sharing advice helped me right out , launching , safety and cheers for the tip I'll try this before the knife👍
My biggest conger was 105.5 lbs made the conger club of gb that was out of Penzance had a day to remember had 10 conger 50lb plus the same day
- Impressive. When was this?
It would be great if you got a head cam or something. Give another angle 👍
- Head cams not only make you look like a div but you literally have to point your whole head at where you want the camera.Haha. Have a watch of the shark video. There are several different camera angles used in that video and see what you think ?
Certainly don't want to take away from fishing time. Love it. Lol
- No you don't.haha. 👍
I live in Oregon, on the Pacific. We have a few species of fish that we cannot retain, namely but not limited to, Yellow Eye rockfish. They suffer barotrauma as well, we use what is called a descender device to return them to a more normalized pressure gradient. I cannot in any way speak to your Ling, but the studies here show there's a good (not great) survival rate when a descender is used. Might be worth asking your local biologists about it if you don't wish to keep the Ling? Your local Bio's could possibly even contact Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and/or US Fish and Wildlife for study information if needed.
Always amused you guys just call them "Ling" and are directly related to Cod, our version, we call Ling Cod, and have zero relation to Cod. LOL
- I used to be a Fisheries Officer and worked very closely with marine geologists on a number of projects. When fishing in less than 100ft of water the descender type tools do return fish well. Not all but some. However fishing in an water over that and the damage is to more than the swim bladder. And although it might go back out of sight the damage is already done. Ling are not a species that copes well.
Be interesting if you could identify the wrecks that you’re fishing on. If that possible. Thanks.
- If I did that then everyone would know where I was fishing Michael.
The Fish Locker Yup. Understandable. Wish to keep your spots a secret. Good stuff.🇨🇦
Hi. All of your videos I have seen so far are well presented,have great content and fantastically explained information. 👍 Well done and thankyou for sharing, I look forward to catching up and watching future uploads. 👍🐠🐠👍
Thank you Mike, we are simply sharing what we love doing mate. Best wishes and take care. 😊
Another great day of catching looks fun! That water was socio calm in the begining you could ski on it.😜👍🐟😄
Yes it was! Stay safe mate :)
Looks a beautiful day for wrecking John and some lovely fish buddy I’m out reckon next weekend English channel, as I said to you last week took the old man out fishing in Chichester harbour and we did get him a bass a nice 4’pounder bless the old boy he can still do it!! Hope you’re good John all the best to you and the family top video as always cheers my friend! 👍🇬🇧🎣
- Plenty of life in the old sea dog then. 😊 Wonderful to hear mate. Good luck out on the wrecks mate.
PSA - Your card at 4:45 says "Now to Anchor a Wreck"...should be "How.." Love the video!
- Thanks Tyler. Haha. I’m really glad you’ve said that as I hate that type of thing.
John,
I'm interested in your anchoring technique. We see you feeding out the role from midships but presumably it's fastened to the bow. Do you fasten a bow rope to your anchor rope or go around the cuddy to fasten ( probably not as it's pretty risky ) ?
Cheers Jon
- I sometimes have a bow rope already attached ( if I can be bothered ) if not then I throw a coil over the buddy roof and go through the forward hatch. 😊
Cracking vid mate and some bangers there ! Nice one
- Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed the video. 👍🏻🎣
That was a very good informative show. Loved the sky an weather because its winter here and the virus is hitting us again so housebound. Thanks Robby
Glad that you enjoyed the video, I'm sorry to hear that Robby I hope that you're doing well and stay safe mate
Omg John i would be so scared to even hold that eel lol. Do people even fish and eat these? Scary eel
Conger eat well. Used eat them in Morocco. Delicious
- Not many people in the UK eat conger eel now, mostly just fish for sport.
Those eels with their teeth and appetite look similar to our federal tax dept.. lol. Horrible creatures for sure John
- Haha. Yeah ours are the same. Horrible slimy bottom dwellers!!Haha
