My dad used to take me fishing when I was younger. He died earlier this year, and I went fishing with his old fishing buddy in homage. I remembered how much I enjoyed it, and I’ve been bingeing your videos ever since. I’m now planning a trip in a few weeks to the sea to get out! Taking dad’s old rod out :)
Be careful with that rod. My Mum's father, my grandpa, was a very keen and excellent gardener. When he died and the house was being sold my Mum wanted to take a few plants as mementos so Dad went to the tool shed. The first spade handle broke as soon as it went into the ground. So did the second tool handle - a fork - and so did the third, another spade. We never did take any plants..... So go steady with that rod!
rules of the sea, that they don't OWN....they need to stop harassing the private individual and seek the corporate vessels....Oh but that's to much trouble for them, as they are part of the pirate gang.....when people going stand up to the thuggery of the so-called "government" agencies, bully boys. All civil servants need to stand down, before the people rip your hearts out, all you doing is beasting your brother.
Yes I agree however, to find food for yourself, you have to abide by the law, now even chickens have to be registered. Absolute joke of a country the UK are
@@mitchmitchell7470 Agreed! Fish police over one man and his rod. There's no country in the world that's has so many controlling rules and obedient docile sheeple to follow them!!
@@JJPwfelli because the fella has never had the wherewithal to move to the coast I’ve worked all my life and would have loved to live a life like fish locker John but it was always an impossible dream
It gives me such pleasure to see Jame’s growth. I can remember when he wouldn’t touch a fish let alone eat it. And now he’s even following in Grandad’s steps and cooking them. Well done mate. Keep it up.
Grew up in Northern Canada (Manitoba) enjoying lake and river fisheries for Walleye (we call them pickeral), Northern Pike, Muskie, Silver Bass, Perch and Lake Trout. Now I live in eastern Missouri and focus mostly on fly fishing for Rainbow Trout or pond/river fishing for Large Mouth Bass, Crappie and Bluegill. Have enjoyed limited coastal fishing off Florida, British Columbia and Newfoundland and deep sea fishing off of California and Mexico’s Pacific coast, but its fascinating to sea a new fishery off Cornwall. Hope some day to do fishing around the British Isles. Thanks for showing us the tackle set up to the prep and cooking. Love your channel.
love this guy, he is a pleasure to watch. he explains what he is doing, he describes the fish etc. id love to go fishing with him. even though i have never been fishing in my life.im disabled and mostly housebound. but when i see him cooking up lobster and prawns etc on the beach . i just wanna be with him.
First vlog from your goodself. Very professionally delivered via obvious hands on experience. Great to see the end result Feeding your family. Glad you explained the difference between the local and national agencies. I'm in my 70s and remember our once proud Fresh Fish supply markets where fish was plentiful and relatively cheap (eg. in comparison with Chicken). That was before we caved to the European (and further) Bullies and weak UK governments who, in their ignorance, gave the Fishing Industry away. Excellent video record. Thanks.
We did not cave in to the EU Bullies, not one bit !! because it was Edward Heath who GAVE AWAY our Fishing Grounds to the Common Market / EU and he stood up in the commons on his hind legs and Lied about what he had done !!
The fishing industry was lost to a combination of Iceland in the Cod Wars and over fishing and very little to do with the EU. If every fish in UK waters was caught by UK boats and landed in UK ports the fishing industry would still be a tiny fraction of the size it used to be in the 1970's. Of course that does not fit your anti-EU narrative but it is the facts.
Love watching your videos. My father has been gone a good many years, but the memory of fishing with him in the Sacramento River and offshore out of Moro Bay, Cali will live with me forever. Really enjoy the trips when your son accompanies you and then you either cook your catch on the beach or at home. Thank you for the memories.
What a delicious meal! A quick tip for your young lad; put a damp cloth under the plastic board and it will not slip on the work surface…great to see him doing the prep, a life skill 👍
Watching from western Pennsylvania. Always love getting down to the ocean, but it's usually just a week every year or two. I love the videos, because I get to go along fishing or foraging every time you post a new one. God bless you and your family. Much luck and continued success. 👍👍
Thanks John it was nice to see James doing his preparation for his meal, to many young people do not know how to cook these days, I don't think James will be one of them, especially with his name sake, you, and his mother all teaching him, looks like you and the wife is doing a grand job.
Or they already knew of them. Problem with Fisheries is they have too much they are supposed to do, and too few resources to actually DO what they are supposed to do. That's not their fault, that's the Government, and by extension YOUR fault, as its your vote that helps choose said Government... But I guess its just easier to blame them and accuse them of being lazy right? Rather than address the real issues, and there ARE real issues with Fisheries Protection in the UK as it currently stands.
I'm watching from the State of Iowa in the USA. I really enjoy watching all of your videos. My dad took us fishing a lot and taught us to be thankful and have respect for our catch. Thanks for taking us along!!
Another cracking vid, John - always happy to see our waters being policed - and you know the rules well enough to never have to worry 👊 Thanks for sharing - and hi from the rainy North of England 👊
Thats how it should be, fresh air, good food and great company. I am watching from Essex UK, loving to see kids in the great outdoors away from screens ....well done!
My joy of seeing a fisherman working then my recoil at the brutality of hunting but then the excellent quality of the preparation and cooking. Live long and prosper Mr Fisherman.
What a great time fishing - nice to see your knowledge and respect for the fish and keeping only what you are after. Interesting seeing inshore Fisheries checking up on you - as you said, nothing to hide nothing to fear. Wonderful family feast too and the immense pleasure of knowing you caught it sustainably whilst enjoying a day out on the water.
well iv been watching long enough to see myself learn about, purchase and use my own small fishing boat but sadly time and disabilities dictate it needing to go to a new home and I will once again pay a charter boat to take me when I'm able but safe to say I wouldn't have made some of the epic days what they were if it wasn't for the fish locker youtube channel, and obviously the awesome james teaching me all sorts of things
In South Africa its great fun fishing for squid and the experienced fishermen are always upwind from the others and their catch for dark reasons 😂😂great program and keep up the excellent work!
I’m in James’s camp. Gurnard are great eating fish. Starter of cuttlefish or squid, floured with spices and scraps. What a great session and tea. Just up the coast in Poole.
Great fishing. Fascinating to see the change in the colour of the sky and the sea. Watching from a grey & dingy Swansea. That red fish was stunning. British waters sure do have some surprises.
An enjoyable watch, thank you. I appreciate the way you keep the fishing with little complication. It seems you are a man at peace with himself. Regards, Phil, Suffolk
Awesome again John 😊 ,when after squid, Saturday evening in marina did quite well, caught 4 cuttlefish 😊 , satay squid was delicious 😊 .Happy catching from Australia Nick 🇦🇺.
Watching from my campervan (my house) EXCELLENT WORK... 😁 YOU have renewed my instrest in my passion for fishing. If I came to your neck of the woods at a time that's good for you and fishing (obviously) would you show me the ropes. Many thanks, Mark CELER ET AUDAX
Wow, that orange fish reminded me or an "Iron Man" goldfish!!! 🤣 Thanks for taking us fishing and sharing your experience with the Fisheries Officer! Oh wait.... nice to see James in the kitchen!!🙂
two months away from my 80th learning all of the time .. excellent video .. lovely family. batter bits my favourite born abbeytown Cumberland .UK.1944.
Reckon they only board you for the free advice John! Thought you might have kept the carcasses for the pots or are the thieving gets giving you too many problems? The Calamari looked lovely and you're definitely right, the name for the batter is scraps, all you need now is some mushy peas!
Watching from Kilcullen in eastern Ireland. Fished from the shore (pier) last night and landed three fish. Two doggies and a small pouting. Tight lines John.
I have to say , john your probably one of the most honest fishermen among us ive watched most of your videos cant wait until the next one comes out!! As fishing since i was around 2 or 3 years old and currently 27 years old i have learnt a hell of a lot from you in your videos. I will hopefully be lucky enough to own a warrior of my own one day and i will definitely know which youtube channel i can learn new things from!!!
Wow never saw cuttlefish before I fished the sea until a few years ago when my small boat died. Find your video wonderful am learning loads and I love your respect for the sea 🙏🙏
I’ve only been filling your channel a day and I’m absolutely hooked 😮 I love sea fishing but don’t get out enough and haven’t been for years ! Keep up the great content 😊
Great as per usual John. James is really developing so many life skills from you. He will remember these things all his life. Brilliant. I agree, "scraps". ;)
I have been checked twice in my kayak by Fisheries while fishing around the Lizard. They even insisted on physically seeing the single pollack I had taken in my fish bag even though it was over 8lb! No problem with that although lacking a bit of perspective, but they motored right over the top of the reef I was obviously fishing for bass both times in their RIB. No understanding or consideration, felt more like a tick box exercise.
Just SUPERB Healthy fresh eating. Good principles, happy days. That lad wont be belting down to McDonalds 7 days a week, he already understands the gifts of the sea, the value of family and the integrity of hard work
Was just saying to the Mrs that you're a fortunate man. You fish all day, get paid (TH-cam) pick the lad up from school and feed the family. What more could a guy ask for? Not a heck of a lot , I'd imagine. Watching from Prince George BC Canada.......a long way from the ocean. Am a wee bit jealous but then revel, admittedly vicariously, in your success. Well done mate!
@@TheFishLocker So when can you quit the day job?! Hehe, I thank you for letting us tag along on your hobby! Oh yeah almost forgot again! It's been a bit of a while since the last cook up with Mr Sargo(spelling is not my strong suit) How is the man doing? Such fun those vids.
@@TheFishLocker I thought you were a buccaneer, I'm a retired maintenance Engineer the last few years before I retired was in the food industry doing a 3 shift pattern, it's a killer in your 60s.
The Devon name, Hannah, is Gribbles, after the tiny wood-boring worms sometimes found on old fishing boats! A good scoop of Gribbles with take away fish and chips definitely stretched the meal to feed a family! Not the healthiest, but it was a once in 6 months thing! Great fishing, John! And James can come cook for me any time! xxx
Not a fisherman myself and a bit squeamish but this is how fish are caught and prepared. Yes, I do eat fish, from the fresh fish counter at Morrisons, much removed from the front line. Great respect to a great family, how many youngsters today could prepare and cook a meal like this. My Granny used to say fish is brain food. We do need to look after our seas.
Hi John. I'm from Kent but am on holiday in Cornwall. Due to the weather I have only managed 2 trips so far. Had a tuna trip(licensed skipper)yesterday and caught a good size tuna which was unbelievable. I wish more boats were checked especially back in Kent. Cornwall is my favourite place to fish. Regards
John - I would have taken the opportunity to ask questions concerning your loss of lobster traps and the Fisheries continuing efforts to reduce theft and trap predation.
Watching from Galway Ireland . Love your channel . Lots of information and tips . Nice and relaxed great to watch . Please come over to fish that would be great . Keep them coming 👍👍👍👍
you should come down to Panama , we use similar technique s to catch huge Tarpon... its like 20 X L...UK... sabiki rigs , get the baits.. then clip em on a balloon. rig. with . 80 - 100 lb leaders ...IN 10 ft r deep river mouth sandbars.... finally fulfilled all my fishing fantasies , after you've had a couple of 80 -100 lb Tarpon... you're done ..cheers mate...
What a great video. I loved that you show proper stewardship by retrieving the pollock that would not survive and the cleaning/prep of fish. I’d like to learn exactly how to bleed a fish properly, and I would like to see details on cleaning cuttlefish. They are a beautiful but odd creature and kind of startle me. A very detailed video on how to dispatch and clean them would be very helpful. The cooked product looks amazing. I’m just coming off covid and am tired of laying about, and your videos save me from boredom, and made me hungry for first time in days.
Really interesting and great video .. as a keen fisherman it’s good to see fisheries protection in action .. lucky family the meal looked really tasty! 😋🎣👍.. South Devon 😊
Have a wonderful day everyone. Let me know where you’re watching from? 😊👍🏻

HI from Devon. Thanks to your inspitational videos I have taken up spearfishing this year at the age of 50, with my son.
It's amazing how big he has gotten. I started watching the channel right before he got sick that one time and now he's a big healthy boy.
When did he get sick? Wouldn't mind reading his workout plan with these guns! 💪💪

Mate...we are a dying breed.I got boarded in Kent.Told them of illegal nets.They went away in opposite direction.Too much work for them .
Anything involving any sort of work? Theyre not interested in at all. Theyre only interested in trying to hand out as many fines as they possibly can.
Or they already knew of them.

I’d like to learn exactly how to bleed a fish properly, and I would like to see details on cleaning cuttlefish. They are a beautiful but odd creature and kind of startle me. A very detailed video on how to dispatch and clean them would be very helpful. The cooked product looks amazing. I’m just coming off covid and am tired of laying about, and your videos save me from boredom, and made me hungry for first time in days.
Should have included, watching from northern Nevada, USA
What a wonderful video. Who needs to go abroad for beautiful weather and exotic food. Thanks again
