    Brilliant job John!, I once went fishing to my local ponds, Used to fish until it was dark then pack away under the headlights, One night I started the car, A Sunbeam Alpine with twin stromberg cards from a Rapier fitted when the accelerator pedal dropped to the floor and the engine raced, I had a torch in the glovebox, It turned out the carb return spring had broken, There was a very heavy rubber band on a tin in the boot, I managed to fit that to get me and the wife home, Thing is that it worked so well that I forgot about it and it was a week before I remembered and bought a replacement spring!!

    Being an avid fisherman myself spending loads of time on our Ontario Kawartha Lakes, I do spend lots of Sunday evenings here watching your you tube postings and sure enough there was a surprise this weekend ! I do admire and learn from your fishing knowledge and seamanship and also the ability to get out of a pickle calmly. Most of us will have these boat engine issues and failures as I did one late night on one of our lakes and had to paddle to shore!. Being out in an open sea for most of your fishing trip I am surprised that you do not have a small " kicker" engine although I can see you do have a outboard engine bracket on your boat already. Be safe John !

    Shows you the difference that a bit of knowledge and experience does. I've been humming and arring about getting a small boat for the last few years. And I was advised by a few people that if I do see if someone with experience but maybe no longer the time or money to run a boat anymore and see if they would be interested in teaching me in exchange for free fishing trips. This made me realise how sensible that is. Within a minute of breaking down i would be trying to shout at the other boat while I wet my pants and weigh up if I can make the swim to shore (surely it's not that far) 😂.

I’m in North Devon and don’t go out without one as big waves can arrive fast and crossing the bar without a fast plan b can lead to trouble as anchoring would be more dangerous than floating out to sea. Great u show u get problems like we do. The times I watch u go out and I got a broken boat 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🦈

    What would you have done if you were 40 miles out and it was getting rough? I know you wouldn't have panicked. Do you carry a small spare engine.
    When I was young and more stupid, I used to fish from a 10 foot dinghy with an old 2hp seagull engine with no clutch. That worked fine until I got my only anchor stuck and had to cut the line. Then I couldn't get the engine started. I was about 2 miles offshore. No radio. No flares. No one in sight. Took me 30 minutes to finally get the engine started, whilst shipping water at the stern. I was very lucky. At the time I had no clue how lucky I was. I was young and thought I would live forever. Be safe. Thank you John for all the great videos.

      Tv has changed now. RUclips has killed a lot of it. I produce videos at a fraction of the cost with greater variety and 10x the frequency. We have been approached by a couple of tv groups in the past but they want us to align with their political narrative - and I don’t fit it.

    Going to my summer fishing spots during storms is a favourite winter pastime of mine.
    Storm Darragh produced a monstrous swell in my area and the sea inundated rocks at the very back of the shore zone something I’ve never seen before. The waves must’ve been the height of a two storey house before breaking at a headland I fish. It gives a whole new perspective on the dangers of the ocean.
    The storms move sand up in some areas as well they can certainly alter the ground at your marks.
