I love that you crush down your barbs. My dad used to do that when we fished as kids. We kept catching the same school of perch over and over again. They looked like victims of a deranged plastic surgeon but they were the fattest, happiest perch in the lake.
Haha. Thats a good thing to teach young anglers. Also, as an outlook. Those fish were far more valuable to catch several times than just to catch and kill.
@@TheFishLocker agreed. We focus on catch and release when I go fishing with my kids. We are more interested in the experience of fishing and seeing these beautiful creatures up close than we are eating them. If I still lived on the Atlantic Coast I'd probably bring home mackerel and squid to eat, but oddly the cost of fish is typically higher there than it is in the greater Toronto area here in Ontario because for some very stupid reason most of the fish that gets caught out there comes here and then gets shipped BACK to the atlantic coast to be sold.
@@TheFishLocker Thanks for responding...I'm from Rhode Island USA... Grew up fishing and crabbing, foraging and the lot! My PB for blue crab is a 14 inch male with a ten inch softie female! As poor as we were , it all got eaten! I remember one day my older brother came home with a Gunny sack FULL of Giant Clams! That chowder didn't last long for a family of nine!
Everybody expected more ??? Help John you're the man. The fish ambassador..ave. Been at the pub.again Still love your channel. You be legend, you might not know it but .yo Dee man. Am really a good geez . So all the best to you and family. .........bedtime. ELp. BiG yin BiG gob. No substance .
Smoked eel is really great. I can't believe you throw them back. My parents Latvian. We had smokehouse in rear of property and my parents fished and smoked eels all summer. Yummy
Lol…forgive me for laughing, John…but I commented on the Gurnard vid the other day and after I mentioned that I’d be stuck innumerable times by them, you agreed. I saw you pull this one up and thought to myself, I wonder if he’ll get spiked? Then whammy. They’re so skilled! Great vid. Thanks again. Rob, Tasmania
@@TheFishLocker Actually, I just remembered the “Cure” for the spike pain. Dad used to rub the slime from a fish we call a “Flathead” or slang…a “Flattie”. Maybe a placebo, but I’ve heard this since and I believe it may be true. 🤔
When I used to live in Cornwall , 30yr back, I used to fish for wrasse, and not give them much thought, but since guys like you John, pop upon RUclips, i now really appreciate the colours on wrasse and other fish, thank you for a great vlog, you never disappoint, regards to the family 👍👍
John your seamanship and conservation practices are an exceptional example for young and old. I believe ( and maybe in error) from reading past posts you are a R.N. veteran. In the U.S.N. with have term for a experience seafarer as having "their sea legs." Or being able to feel at ease working on a pitching, rolling deck. There is also a U.S.N. phrases of respect, toast or salutation between mariners, and that is “Fair Winds and Following Seas." It's a gesture of good luck to those we will miss and sailors who have served with honor and courage. Keep showing and teaching us what come so easily to you. Every Time you have a harvest to cook video, I need to snack (eat) on something. As we get older and have to worry about our waste line a Codling will do for our fish & chips. In hindsight, I guess we have earned the right to have to worry about that. Cheers mate!
You are correct Warren and we also have similar sayings here. I am glad that you enjoy the videos and the cooking. It is our pleasure to share them with you sir. Have a great day and take care. 😊🎣
Now then John another Crackin Sunday night treat it looked a beautiful morning first off hope you missed all the shit weather after lovely seeing you in full flow thanyou fella bloody brilliant!
I sadly don't get to go fishing nearly as much as I would like. But these videos of yours, at least keeps the abstinence at bay, hehe. Thank you for thoroughly enjoyable videos.
@@TheFishLocker I do now that I have discovered The FishLocker. It has been a couple of weeks, I think, since I by lucky accident stumbled upon the first video.
Cheers bud. We’ll see how it goes, in 5 years it’s the first commercial sponsorship we have taken but I’ve used Garmin for the best part of 10 years so it makes sense. 👍🏻
Good evening John,that was a full on session and a rather large swell....Great stuff once again thankyou.What a beautiful Bull Huss,the first one had lovely markings and yes your so right about keeping your hand well away...my goodness thoughs teeth but still a stunning fish.Have you been Sea Bass fishing of late! Would like to see another one.Wishing you and your fabulous family all the very very best Joyce 👏👏
Another great episode John . The best fishing is when you don't know what you're going to catch ! I've seen less species of fish in an episode of The Blue Planet ! Thanks for putting up with choppy seas for us . Take Care.
Hi there, thanks loads for your videos, I love the workshop channel, I've not been sea fishing for almost 25 years. I've recently moved to the Lincolnshire coast and just started again. I've not had much so far, but I have been trawling your tutorials and knowledge for top tips and things are picking up now. Your a brilliant fella... again thank you 😊. If you ever venture up this way we have some lovely sandy beaches to explore, no mud (unless you wander onto the salt marshes.
@@TheFishLocker they are more than helpful dude, they have completely changed the way I approach sea/beach fishing now. I go mainly to Mablethorpe or a bit further down to huttoft or Anderby creek. Some nice big sandy beaches with gentle slopes. I may venture down to Norfolk in the spring and fish some nice beaches there that I know. Most of my early days sea fishing was out on the Thames estuary, catching whiting, cod, spotty dogs and thornbacks on a friend's boat. Sometimes off the end of Southend pier, but never really had much luck there, and too many people wanting to talk to anti social me ☺. Maybe one day I'll head down your way and hit the rocks...
John, I must say, some of the best advice I've followed from your channel was when hung up in the reef, or the kelp, just let it sit for a few minutes. I've retreived more rigs out of serious snags by putting the rod down, and getting something to snack on or drink. My son has seen the benefits of this practice as well.
Superb session, John, great seeing all the different species. The bull huss are such amazing creatures, that first one was absolutely stunning! 2 days left of Midland life, packing and skipping stuff like crazy! We are all buzzing to get down to the Cornish paradise.
Hi Pilz, quick question. The Midlands are all the "shire" counties, to the east the channel & North sea. To the west Wales. I'm a American and trying to understand the country of my heritage. The "Cornish paradise" means that it's a sportsman or fishing paradise? From what it sounds like your "home sick" for Cornwall and can't wait to return? I'm not sure what "packing and skipping stuff" means. I ask because I'm following (and enjoying) The Fish Locker and what to better understand. I think it was George Bernard Shaw who said, "Britain and America are two nations divided by a common language."
@@warrenjones376 Hi Warren. Yeah, so the Midlands, is just that, the middle lands of England. We were from Rugby, a market town in Warwickshire. The “Cornish paradise” is my families and my definition of Cornwall with regard to the rest of the UK. Cornwall is just a stunning place. It is an extremely popular holiday (vacation) destination, boasting some of the most picturesque places you'll see anywhere. The fishing is about the best you'll find in UK waters too! As for being homesick for Cornwall, we had holidayed here every year for the last 15 years, and always hated leaving, so decided we'd relocate! Packing and skipping stuff just meant packing stuff into boxes, etc, and skipping stuff was throwing stuff into the trash! Hope that helps.
Another great day out shared with us, thanks. When I did most of my sea fishing, in the late 1950s early 60 we didn't have size limits, or jigs, don't know either of them came in. Our approach to stock conservation was quite different way back then, we kept the smaller, (not real tiddlers though) and put the bigger ones back. The favourite size keeper bass for instance was about 14inches (36cm), pan sized. So pleased that you managed to get a dogfish, a Fish Locker video wouldn't be the same without at least one!
Fishing bonanza John, if you were in a species hunt comp. you would be out in front. Talk about a busy day at the office, you worked overtime. Nice one pal. Arthur.
You never cease to amaze your viewers John, your skills as a fisherman and a sailor are commendable! Your knowledge and experience, and the way you present it is exceptional. Thoroughly enjoy your content and your channel! Thank you as always for sharing! All the best to your success! Cheers, -Steve-
Thanks as always John for letting us come with you on your trips .. I have to say though the bigger dogs and the big conger would have been going home with me to eat!
@@TheFishLocker It's very much like cod maybe a little stronger but if you cook it skin on it's horrible! I used to like mine cut into steaks my mum preferred to make fish cakes with it. Another thing I liked was the fact there is only one bone and no small bones. Anyway thanks for the reply John and please keep these awesome vids coming.
New spots are always full of the unknown, every fish you brought up, my head titled trying to see what it was, pretty funny 😁. Always interesting to watch you, full of interesting information l can use here in Australia, tight lines mate.🎣 🐟 🇦🇺
I imagine that bull huss shark turned your live bait tank into just bait tank after its visit. It did give us a nice smile for the camera before leaving. Man they seem grumpy. Thanks for going through the work of bringing us along for your adventure. Lately they are whats keeping me sane :D
great video buddy , must say the reds are one of the most beautiful fish in our waters along with the wrasse. so nice seeing all the different species for a change as takes me back to my childhood on holiday in cornwall fishing of the boats from looe and beer in devon.
Non-stop action simply amazing the amount of fish and different species caught in this session + the educational commentary . A gem of a video to watch. Thank you.
Another great video John. Nice session with an amazing range of species, especially near the end of the season.. Some tasty Red Gurnard & some nice Bull Huss - shame there wasn't any Ling about. Hope you & the family are all good. Stay safe & well - Dave. 🎣🎣👍👍
I always learn something about fishing, boating or the ocean from all your videos. It's obvious you've been doing this all your life. Always looking forward to your next video, thanks.
Regarding you being anchored from the stern being dangerous, that someone commented on John, you always carry a sharp knife on your side so if you could not unclet the anchor you could just cut the rope and and lose the anchor, you are very safety conscious and it comes over in your videos. Another excellent video worth watching, Many thanks Michael the trucker and Elvis the dog 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for noticing that Michael, yes safety does play a very big part of why I do things the way that I do. Someone mentioned it as a matter of concern so I was simply putting that to rest. Have a great day Michael and Elvis. I hope the roads are kind to you today. 😊
John, I so love today's video! All the fish, all the species, and the ocean's views were beautiful! So happy you had a great day of fishing, but sorry you didn't get the ling. Thanks for an enjoyable 33 minutes, much appreciated! My best to the family. Eagerly awaiting the next video! Hello from the States.
Awesome video post 👍 very much appreciated and extremely enjoyable watching indeed. Big fish sharp teeth keep fingers away 🧐 as a Noobie iv learnt another new lesson 👍, thank you once again John and I will always mention a quick thank you for all the hours and effort in to each and every post🤝, thank you and all 🤝🇬🇧👨🏻🍳🦞
I've been out this morning on Hebburn marina 2 codling a flounder and 3000crabs🤦♂️,.... my favourite was the Gurnard hopefully one day ... A great video john appreciate your time cheers 😃👌
Another great video. A mate of mine had a double figure Bull Huss by the tail. As he went to let it go, it twisted round and bit him right between his legs. Fortunately for him he had chest waders on…..
Another great one John! Between the non stop fishing, the variety of species, the education, and you keeping perfect balance as your boat is hitting swell after swell, this video made my morning. Thanks
Was late getting this John due to the weather & power cut, but here I am, thanks for a really good upload, what a smashing lot of different fish!! Best regards to Hannah, James, Jim & the shy one. Greetings from a wet Cyprus. 🐟🐟🐟🐟👍👍
@@TheFishLocker Late enough lovely, I put my alarm on for this, but power cuts, shoot. All is good here, thank you. UK weather, why you think I moved here, regards
A great mix bag of fish and the bull huss was a beauty. I also loved that octopus there fascinating creatures briliant video as always mate look forward to the next one. Tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
Nice one John, great little spontaneous trip out, terrific amount of species, I’m sure you’ll be back out to that mark for that ling if you get the chance 😎👍🏼, efforts appreciated mate 🎣👍🏼
28:35 There's a phrase John knows only too well, Da Dum tss 🥁🥁📀 Nice session though mate, like pick and mix from the sea, those gurnards don't like the camera any more than wrasse do eh
Super fun seeing all the different species!!! I love how I learn something new every video. Keep up the great work John🫶 amazing video and best of luck always 🍀☺️
Thank you very much Hannah. Despite the rough conditions it was a great days fishing. I am glad you enjoyed the Pumpkin video. James did a brilliant job didn’t he. 😊🎃
Hey John any.haddock ,your neck of the Corwall area. Only asking . But John Dory are a bit the same don't see many Caught. Apart from you doing the bizz .Still A Great channel. My missus said , is that all you watch . Fishing.vids .. ..Thank God for you cause I need elp. Pub 1/ missus 0.
In Australia, specifically Victoria, our species of Gurnard would send you to hospital with a single spike. We only handle them with really long pliers.
Hi John Been watching your videos for while, always enjoy them so figured it was about time I made a comment! I fish a lot, but not much sea fishing for last 15 years, now shopping for beach casters, reels etc! Keep it up pal, great videos
Hi John it was nice speaking with you the other day. I went yesterday morning fishing and got 6 nice sized mackerel from the harbour too good for bait so got them for tea lol

John, I so love today's video! All the fish, all the species, and the ocean's views were beautiful! So happy you had a great day of fishing, but sorry you didn't get the ling.
Thanks for an enjoyable 33 minutes, much appreciated! My best to the family. Eagerly awaiting the next video!
Hello from the States.
Nancy it is my pleasure to share our adventures with you. Don’t worry about the Ling, I’ll get it next time. 😉

Cheers Mike. 👍🏻🎣
Great stuff ! Lovely sunrise, and a great mixed bag !
Thanks John 👍👍🏴
Cheers Phil. 😊👍🏻
Great fishing ,and variety. I have never seen a jig like the one you were using at the start of video , but certainly worked...
They use them a lot in Australia and NZ for snapper. 👍🏻
Awesome video post 👍 very much appreciated and extremely enjoyable watching indeed. Big fish sharp teeth keep fingers away 🧐 as a Noobie iv learnt another new lesson 👍, thank you once again John and I will always mention a quick thank you for all the hours and effort in to each and every post🤝, thank you and all 🤝🇬🇧👨🏻🍳🦞
Thank you Glynn, as I say, not many people appreciate how much time it actually takes to produce one of these videos.
Great footage. your presentation style leaves me with the feeling that I was actually there too. Thank you.
I am glad that is how you feel mate. That is how I hope it feels. 😉👍🏻
Hi John you very good fish man I love what you’re doing ❤❤
Thank you very much. 😊🎣
I mean where is good for me to fishing 🎣 thank you John
Excellent and captivating video as always John .
Thank you and keep them coming please
My pleasure Danny.
Enjoyed that mate, great session, thanks. The gurnard whisperer 🤣
Haha. Better than the dogfish whisperer.
I've been out this morning on Hebburn marina 2 codling a flounder and 3000crabs🤦♂️,.... my favourite was the Gurnard hopefully one day ... A great video john appreciate your time cheers 😃👌
Only 3000? 🤣🦀
@@TheFishLocker maybe 2000 🤣🤣but far to many cheers mate 👍
Lovely Bull Huss and Gurnards there John, shame you didn't get your Ling, maybe next time.
I’ll get it next time. 👍🏻
Another great video. A mate of mine had a double figure Bull Huss by the tail. As he went to let it go, it twisted round and bit him right between his legs. Fortunately for him he had chest waders on…..
Haha. I have actually seen that happen before. 🤣
Another great one John! Between the non stop fishing, the variety of species, the education, and you keeping perfect balance as your boat is hitting swell after swell, this video made my morning. Thanks
Sea legs were definitely required 🤣🌊
Good video John well done some good fish to view also 👍
Cheers bud.
This is my favourite fishing channel on RUclips! Thank you for taking the time out to do these, Brilliant!
Try the ginger fisherman if you haven’t already. Always good content…more coarse than sea fishing though
His underwater videos are very good
Thank you very much Iain. I am glad that you enjoy our videos and have a great day. 👍🏻🎣
Great stuff I love random fishing! You will sleep well after that session
Haha. My bones were shaking after all that swell all day. 🤣
Was late getting this John due to the weather & power cut, but here I am, thanks for a really good upload, what a smashing lot of different fish!! Best regards to Hannah, James, Jim & the shy one. Greetings from a wet Cyprus. 🐟🐟🐟🐟👍👍
Hardly late. The video hasn’t been up for 24 hours yet. I hope you guys are all ok with the weather. It’s horrible here.
@@TheFishLocker Late enough lovely, I put my alarm on for this, but power cuts, shoot. All is good here, thank you. UK weather, why you think I moved here, regards
A great mix bag of fish and the bull huss was a beauty. I also loved that octopus there fascinating creatures briliant video as always mate look forward to the next one. Tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
Cheers bud. Aye it was a fine session considering the conditions 😊🎣
I love tour vides. Sofee, so free. PS: I did live in VCrnwall for a time when I was a teenager.
Cool. Glad you like the videos.
Nice one John, great little spontaneous trip out, terrific amount of species, I’m sure you’ll be back out to that mark for that ling if you get the chance 😎👍🏼, efforts appreciated mate 🎣👍🏼
Aye mate, that’s a mark I will be returning to 😉
Those gurnard are such nice eating, just lightly fried in garlic butter
Agreed.
28:35 There's a phrase John knows only too well, Da Dum tss 🥁🥁📀
Nice session though mate, like pick and mix from the sea, those gurnards don't like the camera any more than wrasse do eh
They just like to remind folks they aren’t cute and cuddly. 🤣
Thank you again John for the video look forward to next one.
My pleasure Keith. 😊👍🏻
Where can I get then jigs from john
@@markbennett3786 - Links in the video description.
Super fun seeing all the different species!!! I love how I learn something new every video. Keep up the great work John🫶 amazing video and best of luck always 🍀☺️
Happy Halloween as well 🎃your pumpkin carving video with fish locker jr was excellent👏🏻
Thank you very much Hannah. Despite the rough conditions it was a great days fishing. I am glad you enjoyed the Pumpkin video. James did a brilliant job didn’t he. 😊🎃
Yes, he did a wonderful job he must get from his dad!!! Take care 😍
Beautiful bright orange fish. Looks just like our U.S. East coast searobins, but with popping colors.
That’s exactly what they are. 👍🏻🎣
And today's taget species is... Fish! Hangon, though. Wasn't Jim anticipating some Gurnard?
Thanks for taking us out with you.
Was he? Hmmm… 🤔😉
Your expert knowledge is amazing. Live your channel. All the best to you and yours
Thank you Mark and have a wonderful day. 😊👍🏻
I always go by an old saying ,
A red morn is a fisherman's warn, a red night is a fisherman's delight ‼️
That’s not really true. I have had some of my best days on a Red morning.
Add a bimini. I added one to my Shetland 570 and they're great when it's showery.
I have a canopy. Just not a wimp.
Hey John any.haddock ,your neck of the Corwall area. Only asking . But John Dory are a bit the same don't see many
Caught. Apart from you doing the bizz .Still A Great channel.
My missus said , is that all you watch . Fishing.vids .. ..Thank God for you cause I need elp. Pub 1/ missus 0.
Haddock are not common but we do get them. I have a haddock video on the channel.
Another awesome video, you make it look easy, thanks for sharing
Haha. Mate, it’s far from easy. 🤣🤣🤣
A crackin' day out, nice variety of fish, a proper Sunday Sanity Saver, thanks for sharing John 👍🎣
Glad you enjoyed joining me mate. 😊👍🏻
Yes Fresh water Roach are good at having a dump on you when you catch them
Haha. Yes they are. 🤣
In Australia, specifically Victoria, our species of Gurnard would send you to hospital with a single spike. We only handle them with really long pliers.
Wow!! It seems like everything over there wants to mess you up!! 🤣
Hi John
Been watching your videos for while, always enjoy them so figured it was about time I made a comment!
I fish a lot, but not much sea fishing for last 15 years, now shopping for beach casters, reels etc!
Keep it up pal, great videos
Thank you for the comment Tony and good luck with the beach fishing. 😊👍🏻
Hi John it was nice speaking with you the other day. I went yesterday morning fishing and got 6 nice sized mackerel from the harbour too good for bait so got them for tea lol
Good man. 👍🏻
Try a drogue or a bucket over the stern when fishing at anchor down tide. That always helps to stop swinging across the wind. Great vid 👍🏻
Yeah, finish watching the video. 👍🏻
How far you lean your head back when you set the hook informs me of how large your catch will be.
Anticipation of something pulling back 😉
you should come down to the norfolk and suffolk coast we have some lovely fishing this way
Yes but it’s hard to beat Cornwall. 😉🎣
