Respect to James. I thought you wasn’t giving your boy enough chances and on this trip. I absolutely love all fishing and I would’ve loved to be taught by my dad if I had one, it was uncles and in laws and being a butcher that taught me.
@@TheFishLocker I agree. And I prepared myself to be what you described. I was never able to have my own, sure I share love and kindness wherever I am. Thank you for your lovely chat today.
James is really becoming a fantastic all rounder, piloting the boat, snorkeling, out fishing his old man, even filleting his catch. Won't be long before he takes over the Channel John. You and Hannah must be so proud of how far he has come. Well done James
If James carries on with fishing thruout his life then he can be thankful for the careful leasons that father John had passed on to him, I enjoy every minute of your films, thanks Fish Locker.
Captain James at the helm! Be still my heart.❤️. Love you guys so very much. I enjoyed watching James on his first snorkeling adventure. Another beautiful video, John.
Great to see you and James fishing together, he’s a real credit to you. He’s going to be a great ambassador for the sport in the future,just like his dad.
Have been watching your videos for a while now. Really informative and display the passion and knowledge you have for the natural environment. An immediate choice for me when catching up on the best of TH-cam fishing around the UK. Great to see James learning as takes me back to the days I enjoyed fishing with my father. Irritates me that those that just follow you out to marks can’t be bothered to do their own research and look for an easy ride. All I’d say to them is you’ll never learn if you always follow.
well done James, you are a very lucky lad, to learn so much specially bring in the ray. Enjoy your life with a brilliant dad, teaching all the know how to do with fishing and wild life. you have a very lucky and enjoyable life. some children have not ever seen the sea. Best wishes to you all. love watching your vlogs and would love to see you on our adventures in cornwall. xxxx
good to see the lad out with you spending quality time with his dad and learning skills. And of course he bagged a couple of lovely looking Thornbacks well done James
Well done James on your first open water snorkeling adventure love how you are so eager to learn from your dad in the best place ever the world outside a classroom
Im. Only half way through this video but remember yiu saying you going to get James I to snorkeling and had to comment as soon as I seen it absolutely brilliant you don't need a stranger (biggest fan) but you're such a great person mate have nothing but respect for everything you do. Absolutely love your content always makes me smile.
@TheFishLocker that's what makes your channel even better just the honest opinion. Know it might be a tricky subject but will we get anymore Spargo cooking in the future. Do love a bit of Jim as well
Always good to see a father and son fishing together. I had the privilege of taking my father on his last fishing trip before he passed. I may have been his daughter, but fishing with my daddy-doll in the rain when everyone else scampering back to our van was priceless! Thank you so much for bringing this memory back to me. I find you informative and a joy to watch.
John I'm so happy to see the affection relationship you have with James . It reminds me so much of my Dad who gave his sons the same hugs and kisses as I received . Unfortunately you didn't see much of that with too many fathers in the 1950s and in later years the relationships with their sons was not close . My husband was not used to being hugged and kissed by another man but my Dad loved him and treated him the same as my brothers . The first 4 or 5 years of my married life my husband would go stiff when Dad pulled him in to hug or kiss when approached by Dad upon arrival and departure but eventually he got used to it and even hugged Dad first . When my Dad passed away , my husband grieved as much as we all did . My husband had missed that relationship with his own father and didn't realize that until his own father passed on .
Another amazing video ..well done ...did feel for James shivering after the snorkelling ...looked like he was sat on a washing machine shaking that much bless ...priceless family time and memories ...watch your back ..they grow up fast and James may give you a run for your money in the future ...thanks again for a great vid
What an awesome dad you are John. These videos will be here for when he grows up and he can pass it down to his kids. I cracked up when you said he floats well 😅😅😅 that is the important part you can teach him the other bits. God bless you and your family and loved this video thank you 😊
Well done James you taught your dad well, one day if he keeps paying attention, he might, might be as good as you, thank you James and John for another great video.
This James video is one of my favorite ever! Seeing a dad who is affectionate with his son and patient is so refreshing! This made for one of my best morning coffee and Locker times in a long while!
Of all the children who wish they could go fishing, only a few get to mess around in boats or dangle their feet over the side of a jetty. Ideally IMO, going fishing is the birthright of all children, at least to try it to see if they like it. And if not the sea, then there are lakes, rivers and creeks to try. Well done, John. In twenty years time, James will be tutoring his own children in the art whilst regaling them with Grandpa stories! Col, NZ
I could watch James fishing for hours. He is so clever fishing, snorkeling,, driving the boat, there is no end to his capabilities. Of course he has the best teacher.
James is growing so fast. It's was wonderful to see him snorkeling in the ocean for the first time. And seeing him filleting his own fish. Be careful in no time he's going have his own boat.
You are a fantastic role model John. There is no classroom that can give James what you are teaching him. I've followed you for quite some time now and even I have learnt something in ever episode even bought my own Warrior 165 from watching your summary of boats when you were changing yours. Keep up the great work you are doing 🍻
Watching you relax with your feet up while wee James was driving the boat made me smile. Your giving him a good experience and confidence while making valuable memories. That’s what life and parenthood is all about really. My daughters a stroppy teenager now and I miss my little side kick that was always with me when she was young. Now she doesn’t wanna be seen with her old man. I’m too embarrassing apparently. 😂
Hey. I am a father of a young boy and watching you out there with your son puts a smile on my face. You're doing a great job my friend. Shaping him into a smart little man. Well done!
Grab every single minute of family time when you can. Before you know it you will both be Grandparents (like us) Watching you brings so many memories of our family time, mackerel bashing etc etc on a fletcher 17 supersport, long gone now.
I can't believe how James has come on with his fishing/general sea life learning?but there again he has got the best dad/mam ever?you go James?keep it up John?❤from BIGMICK IN HULL 👍
Ahh bless James he’s doing ever so well. Use to Love being out on the boat with my dad when I was a kid especially out in a bit of roughers as he used to call it. Great memories your both making together😁🤙
Wonderful video John & James. Always great to see you boys out on the boat. Great job filleting James. Two nice Thorn Back rays! Take care and stay safe. Graham
These videos are fantastic, John. My daughter is of similar age to James, she really enjoys lifting stones in tide pools all thanks to watching your videos with James. Thanks for your content, I really enjoy it!
Good morning Sir , Good morning Dad….. Just a quick one to say how pleasing it is to see a “father and son” video , specially as now James is coming on to understand what you’re sharing with him. “Nice one Dad” !!!!😂😂😂👍👍👍 Thank you also for the adventures. Chris
James is such a lovley lad I bet your so proud off him. I can tell ya now him being with you abored your boat is some of the best education he's gunner get! Briliant video as always bud all the very best to you and your family. Tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
This was one of your best yet with best boy James! Firstly he seem to deal with that wicked swell ever so well but seeing him take his first open sea snorkel was so lovely mate, and when he was sat on shore shivering I bet all hearts melted for him ❤ totally deserved the ice cream . A cracking session in the end, appreciated as always bud 🎣👍🏼
Your Son is so lucky to have a dad like you John .. days like this will stay with him forever 🙂
He’s my favourite little guy.
Respect to James. I thought you wasn’t giving your boy enough chances and on this trip. I absolutely love all fishing and I would’ve loved to be taught by my dad if I had one, it was uncles and in laws and being a butcher that taught me.
James is such a "hands on" young lad and he's learning in the worlds biggest classroom, you must be so proud.
Some things you just can’t learn in school.
@@TheFishLocker
You are not only a great father, but a happy one. I wish I had such a person as dad and mom. Keep up the love and caring for James.
@@lilytheboycat- I learned long ago that the parent you had is not nearly as important as the parent you are. 💙
@@TheFishLocker
I agree. And I prepared myself to be what you described. I was never able to have my own, sure I share love and kindness wherever I am. Thank you for your lovely chat today.
A fish is a fish ❤️
If kids had dads like you John, what a lovely world it would be 😁
Just doing my best.
Beautiful seeing a father son relationship that loving and evident. ❤
Just sharing what we love doing.
James is really becoming a fantastic all rounder, piloting the boat, snorkeling, out fishing his old man, even filleting his catch. Won't be long before he takes over the Channel John. You and Hannah must be so proud of how far he has come. Well done James
That will be a proud and happy day
I love seeing proud dad's with their children doing things with them that mom may ne a bit skeptical about but all safely and with good guidance!
Some things boys need to learn from their dads away from their mothers.
I think James had a good ole day. Things he will never forget and hopefully passes on to his kids.
That would be heaven
If James carries on with fishing thruout his life then he can be thankful for the careful leasons that father John had passed on to him, I enjoy every minute of your films, thanks Fish Locker.
He seems to love it now so who knows? 😊🤷🏻♂️
That was just lovely , the lad growing away , and learning with his dad , perfect.
We had a blast.
What a cute boy and such a good pop. Nice to see.
We love it.
Get in lad ! Driving the boat like its nothing 😊 Best times as a father when they are around that age ❤
Start em young. 👍🏻🎣
Captain James at the helm! Be still my heart.❤️. Love you guys so very much. I enjoyed watching James on his first snorkeling adventure. Another beautiful video, John.
He did great didn’t he.😊

Start em young. 👍🏻
Lovely to see the boys having fun under the sun ❤

Great to see you and James fishing together, he’s a real credit to you. He’s going to be a great ambassador for the sport in the future,just like his dad.
He’s a little superstar 💙
The look on your face when he firewalled the throttle was priceless lol.
Haha. Warp speed captain!!
Great to see young Capt James out with you, he is learning so much from you John.
Thanks for the upload mate.
Any time mate.
He's a lucky lad, fantastic dad that shows him the ropes.
It’s a father’s role and responsibility
I enjoy this channel all the way from New York City! I've watched your best boy grow into such a fine guardian of the ocean, he's had a great teacher!
He’s a little superstar

Being able to teach our children about the natural world around us has been one of my life’s great joys
that is what mums and dads do to teach our children the best we can. our sons are 38 and 40 and we would like to think we did our best. xxx
It's great watching James' love and passion grow over time!
He makes us so proud
What a breath of fresh air mate, could watch this content all day. a young lad taught proper stuff 💙
Some stuff you can’t learn at school. 😉👍🏻
That's the proper way a father should spend time with his son. Well done, sir
🎣👍🏻
Great Job James! Great video Thanks for taking us along with you!
Any time mate.
I just love your family integration into your profession as a fisher. Bravo!

What you are teaching him is a life skill. Make no mistake about it, James has had an awesome education that will see him in to the future.
Some things you cannot learn in school.
Looking forward to watching! And it's sunny here in Boston. Hello again!
Hello. 😊🎣

James is slowly growing into an amazing young boy. Watching him take his first snorkel without fear was beautiful....
Keep up the good work lads ❤️
It wasn’t entirely without fear, but he had me with him so he knew he was going to be ok.
Another amazing video ..well done ...did feel for James shivering after the snorkelling ...looked like he was sat on a washing machine shaking that much bless ...priceless family time and memories ...watch your back ..they grow up fast and James may give you a run for your money in the future ...thanks again for a great vid
Haha. I did warn him it was going to be cold. 🤣
James is a wonderful strong boy!I love how he casts in all the busy water!Love watching him grow!You are a fantastic Dad💥💥💥💥
From one dad to another. A good job well done. Memories that will last forever.
Just doing what we love
John there is nothing better than a father and son day out, regardless what you are doing, its priceless, excellent videos as always 👍
Always time well spent
What an awesome dad you are John. These videos will be here for when he grows up and he can pass it down to his kids. I cracked up when you said he floats well 😅😅😅 that is the important part you can teach him the other bits. God bless you and your family and loved this video thank you 😊
It’s very true, he floats very well. 🤣

I’m just encouraging him to do what he enjoys
This James video is one of my favorite ever! Seeing a dad who is affectionate with his son and patient is so refreshing! This made for one of my best morning coffee and Locker times in a long while!

That is exactly my sentiment. Even before the channel we made sacrifices so we could give our children access to the water.
I could watch James fishing for hours. He is so clever fishing, snorkeling,, driving the boat, there is no end to his capabilities. Of course he has the best teacher.
Some things you cannot learn in school, you have to learn by doing. 🎣👍🏻
Great to see the two of you out again - and with sandwiches!!! Thanks John.
Haha. Cheers bud.
James is growing so fast. It's was wonderful to see him snorkeling in the ocean for the first time. And seeing him filleting his own fish. Be careful in no time he's going have his own boat.
He’ll have mine
"A fish is still a fish." Amen to that, James!!!
Yes it is.
You are a fantastic role model John. There is no classroom that can give James what you are teaching him.
