- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Gorgeous conditions and some fantastic fish, what a perfect day. Enjoying some great fishing with some stunning coloured Ballan Wrasse and Cuckoo wrasse on light gear, and using live sand eel to fish for Pollack over the reefs. Pollack are great fighters and great fun on balanced tackle. Could the day get any better? No but it can get worse! Watch until the end to see the drama unfold.....
Ive just started watching. Im in america and i do alot of freshwater fishing but i still enjoy watching anf learning different strategies.
- Me to. Every day is a school day.
I love going fishing with you in your boat John, thanks mate
- It is our pleasure Russell, hopefully we can be out again soon. :)
Hi mate,
Great job. It's clear you know what your doing on your Boat. Many people get into difficulties through lack of knowledge. First class Seamanship.
Steve in Fife.
Stevie D - Thanks Stevie. It’s just one of those things. Losing your head doesn’t help get things done does it? Hopefully this helps show that like most problems, if you keep calm and think about it you can come up with something. 👍🏻🎣🛥🛠
Another great video John.
You ooze confidence and experience and I particularly like the way you deliver your angling knowledge.
No patronising tone
Nice mate.
Glad you made it back without too much drama.
Stay safe!
Karl Stokes - Thankyou very much Karl, I’m really glad to hear you are enjoying the videos and that the information comes across well. It’s a really difficult thing to do sometimes. On my own at sea talking to myself.haha. All I do is pretend it’s a mate who’s out there with me and they’re new to fishing. As for the steering cable. Sh*t happens. Asses, adapt and overcome. 😉👍🏻🎣🐟🛥 All the best bud.
Well you're doing it all right then!
It feels like we're in the boat with you and the tips and advice come across exactly as you put it......like a mate that's just starting out.
Subbed and following mate.
Tight lines
Karl Stokes - Well thats brilliant to hear. 😊 If you think any of your mates of fishing friends would enjoy the vids, please pass them on. 👍🏻🎣😬
Cracking video just a shame other people on boats show disrespect to others by going too fast too close, I get annoyed when boats come steaming past your fishing area, and that's when I'm on the rocks, at least you show common sense and respect from your boat, keep up the good videos
- Some folks just do not consider how their actions effect others out on the water. You just need to be extra mindful. :)
Hi I’m a young angler you have inspired me to make my own RUclips channel
Angling Adventures - Thats fantastic. Good luck to you my friend. Have you watched my recent live video? In it i talk a little about what it’s like having a RUclips channel? 👍🏻🎣😉
Your videos are so watchable, your such an nice bloke and family man. Really enjoy your videos👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you very much Ian. I am simply sharing what we know and love doing in the hope it helps people out. 😊
John, this has to stop! You can't keep making these videos where you catch loads. I sat for 4 hours on the estuary on Thursday for 1 dog from my yak. That wind was a bugger, and I couldn't find that Huss you set free.
Keep them coming squire. :-)
HUBBY - TUB - Haha. Sorry mate. 🤷🏻♂️ How far off are you comfortable going? I’ll put you onto a nice pollack mark if you want? PM on Fishlocker fb. 😉
Another great video, love the Wrasse. As for the steering going, always better when something like that happens at the end of the day rather than the beginning, easier to laugh off when you've already caught a few!
IOM Fishing - Thankyou very much. 😬 Absolutely my thoughts mate. If it had happened on the way out I’d have been sick as a dog!!! As it was I’d already had a decent days fishing. 👍🏻🎣😉
Same thing happened to me, typically on the day I took out a boat load of family members! I tilted the main engine and got back to the harbour with the 5hp aux. Took a bit longer but it was a fine day. Great channel!
Its always more stressful with an audience isn't it. haha.
@@TheFishLocker Absolutely! Just bought a new boat more suitable for fishing, so looking forward to summer.
Great film. I love catching the wrasse on LRF gear great fun fighting them feels like tuna!!
Haha it does!! Glad that you enjoyed the video
Nice man, never had any luck catching Sandell on sabinki's down Brighton.Been trying small joey's but no luck so far, will give the inline lead rig a go tho! Nice mate
Ben S - As you can see from a few of my vids I really like this setup and have had some cracking fish using it. Sandeels I’ve found get me more Pollack, joeys catch me more bass. Good luck 👍🏻🎣🐟
@@TheFishLocker Okay thanks again mate, I have only really just found your RUclips and really enjoying it.
The best fishing video I’ve seen for a long time.Thanks so much
Really do enjoy the video's nothing on the TV . Brilliant keep them coming
David Murdoch - Thanks Dave, tight lines mate. Looking forward to the fishing pics from the rocks in Gib. 😉🎣
@@TheFishLocker I just ordered the shimano Blue Romance shore jigger and the penn 6000 spinfisher
For fishing in Gibrolter
You will have to come over and do a video of you fishing in Gibrolter mate
David Murdoch - The 6000 is a great reel. I think you’ll struggle to find a fish that that reel can’t handle. 😉👍🏻🎣
John do you ever keep any of the Pollock or anyting I'm sure you must get tired of fish after a while but I don't get it that much so me I would just have a constant diet of fish. I love your RUclips channel especially your forging that is my thing for sure I love it.
Have a look at our catch and cook playlist.
Are you leaving your feathers in, just bobbing along near the bottom? I always constantly work my feathers but it'd be good to have the option if I'm putting a brew on.
- The rocking of the boat works the feathers for you.
Hi John as you know I am a big recent fan, so I am working my way back through your back catologue, just found this video, and have one comment, when I have had to limp back in due to a problem, which has happened to me a couple times over 30 years, I have always put a PAN call out to the Coastguard, and just asked them to monitor my progress, it just means :1 they check that you have got back, and 2 if something else goes wrong they know about you and have an idea where you are etc,
Chris Sparks - I can understand that. I phoned my Mrs and another boat owner friend. For the same reason. I generally don’t want to bother the coastguard unless I really need to as there is always the chance that they have more important things to be doing. 😊👍🏻🎣🛥
@@TheFishLocker yeah mate I dont like bothering the coast guard, particularly at weekends when they can be really busy, however on weekdays often Im out alone, and then I would always give them a call if I had a problem.
Another great video John! Those wrasse are beautiful fish, the pollack are great as well! Glad you got back safe and sound! Tight lines pal can't wait for the next one! 🎣🎣🎣🎣👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Paul whitemore - Thanks Paul. I hope that this vid shows that by keeping calm and assessing issues logically that things can be overcome without stressing. In my opinion the lifeboat has more important things to do that come and get me.haha. Great days fishing too. I do like wrassing. 😬👍🏻🎣🐟
Rebuilding a 1992 50hp Evinrude to put on... if its just the steering cable that goes wrong, Ill be happy :-) Lots of fish, skills and sound advice mate.
John Foster - Best of luck to you mate. 👍🏻🎣🛠
Seen a boat hook lashed to the outboard. To make a tiller. Liked the rope used to make a pulley starring system.
Allen Cooke - Assess, adapt and overcome. 😉 I think I will make up a small piece of wood or something to be an emergency tiller for future. 😬👍🏻🎣
I always have a spare small outboard motor, even if it's just a small seagull..
It's always there if needed ...
Some people choose to do that, I have never needed one yet. 👍🏻
Amazing the variety of Colours in the Ballan yet all from the same spot, fascinating !
- Incredible aren't they. 😊
That was some awesome fishing.. I've only fished the ocean once and caught a nice salmon. But you man, are awesome to watch.. New here on your channel but will be here for a long time... Oh yea.. Hope your trip in was ok..Jim
- Hi Jim, welcome to our channel. I am glad that you are enjoying our videos. Hopefully we have enough to keep you going for a while. I have had some nice salmon but not for a lot of years. We don't get them much down here in Cornwall. Take care and have a nice day. :)
will do what I can to get a video made for you, about the modified dyson rig, think I've rounded up a source of good enough filming equipment to capture my fingers actually doing the tying.. will see how it turns out, will let you know.. great video, btw..
DumbestFisherman TV - Thanks mate. There’s no real need to do a vid if it’s any hassle. You could send me a photo to the Fishlocker fb page and if I can’t figure it out you can explain it? 👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker I get asked about my rigging all the time on this local forum board, so I should just make one, since I get the same questions over and over, lol.. will let you know when it happens..
Friend has been fishing using a Mackerel hooked thru the back and tied to a 1 foot drop rig tied to a balloon he's been catch double figure bass which I'm going to try when I'm on holiday in a months or so time
TheAudiostud - Yes, when hooked like that they do swim in a distressed way. That’s a great was to hook livebaits for pike. Good luck. You can’t find any mackerel down here for that ATM.
Hi I love fishing I learn a lot from you
Emily's life stories - It is my pleasure Emily. We cover a lot more stuff and post more regularly on the Fishlocker fb page. 😉👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker ok thanks so much these vids are awsome
Cracking videos! Great to watch. On the holderness coast our species are usualy cod whiting bass and smoothhounds...the odd Ray. Would love to see you catch some specimen Gurnard.
Do you guys not catch and Dabs and Flounders there any more?
@@TheFishLocker the usual flatties are plenty but the real sport is in the bass and smoothounds which have become bigger and more plentyfull over the years.
Got your money's worth out of that Launce. :-)
I can't get out fishing at the moment, but your video is an excellent substitute. Cheers.
- Haha. Yeah, nothing goes to waste mate. We wont be getting out fishing for a while either due to this lockdown but hopefully out videos can at least bring a short distraction.
Hi mate what Flouro do you recommend for fishing from a pier I usually have 20lb braid and 10ft of 15lb mono or Sabiki or mackerel trace on, but fancy some pollock fishing when things get back to normal
- I'd up your braid to 30lb and use 20lb flouro. ;)
@@TheFishLocker thanks for the reply sorry for bugging you so much
Shug McGurran - Haha. It’s no drama mate. Take it easy. You could do one favour for me though. If you think your mates would enjoy the vids. Please share them on. 😉
@@TheFishLocker I have been mate been sending them links, ive nearly watched all your videos ill move onto you other page soon lol
Every john Dory video I google is from New Zealand are they rare or common in the UK
daniel goulding - At certain times of year you can catch them but they aren’t a common fish. 👍🏻🎣🐟
Get that problem with the wash from boats when out on the kayak. Have to keep one eye on the rods and one on the inconsiderate boat owners. Haven't been tipped yet, fingers crossed!
dukeofmodena - It’s horrendous some days mate. No awareness of what’s going on around them or how them going at 10+ knots effects everyone else. Really aggravating sometimes. If it’s not yachts aiming for you on a tack it’s folks stealing past too fast too close causing wash. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
If all else fails call for help never be too proud. Great video John.
The Autistic Angler - Very very true mate. My feeling this day was that I’d rather leave the Lifeboat to deal with the real emergencies. Whilst I was in no real danger I’ll do what I can to make it in unaided. 👍🏻🎣😬🛥
Wow! Those fish are so beautiful, almost like they belong in a tropical clime. And what weird teeth they have. You're an amazing fisherman, don't know how you do it.
- Thank you Elizabeth, it is my passion.
Another cracking video, thank you. Good to see you keeping both your cool and sense of humour when it comes to 'Sod's Law' situations at sea and inconsiderate boatmen!
J W - Thanks mate. There’s no point getting all bent out of shape about stuffs there? Just assess, adapt and overcome. Things go wrong. You just have to deal with it don’t you. I wasn’t about to let it spoil my day - even if it cut it short. Stay safe mate. 👍🏻🎣😊🐟
You are patience personified! And so good natured. Pleasure to watch you deal with the goofballs in life.
- Haha. I am glad you think so Candice. I learned a long time ago that I am the only one responsible for my mood. Other people can do things but it is down to how I react that dictates my mood. I was going fishing so I was not going to let anything stop me enjoying myself. :)
What a great video really nice fish and released which is always nice to see, Just think if mankind cleaned the seas of all the chemicals and plastic what we night mind; great to hear the different techniques used.
touson bailey - Thankyou very much. Really pleased you enjoyed it. Hopefully this vid shows that you don’t have to make things complicated to have some great fishing. 😬👍🏻🎣🐟 Stay safe buddy. 😊
Totally agree with you about teaching people about wash off their boats- pure ignorance .
David Mackeown - Half of the time I think it’s just a lack of awareness for anything or anyone else around them. Really aggravating. 🤷🏻♂️
Nice work John. Loads of dangerous eejits have boats unfortunately but the south East has most of them. That male cuckoo is stunning, cracking days fishing again! I miss having a boat so I’ll be buying one for next year now we are bored with charters and they’re too expensive at that 👌✊
Good luck with the boat. 👍🏻
Great adventure. I learned a good amount from this. Positive attitude took you home. Well done.
Isotelus - Thats it. Calm head. Adapt and overcome. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. If you have any questions about the rigs or methods just give me a shout. 😉👍🏻🎣
You should invest in some small bells. Tie one onto the end of the pole so any time you get a bite, the bell jingles, and you don't have to keep looking around at all your poles constantly.
- Those work until you forget they are there and try and cast with them on and watch a small bell fly 50 ft into the air. Haha
@@TheFishLocker Yeah, done that. I started using small zip ties to hold them on, got tired of replacing them.
Hi mate can you please tell me where u fish ? Thanks
- The UK.
As always a great post.Hope you got her fixed.I use a 5hp auxilary on my Warrior which has got me out of trouble when the water separator filter failed on the main engine.I changed to the cartridge type without further problems.I like the way you fixed the situation by jury rigging the outboard with rope.
neil hellens - Adapt and overcome. 😉 I had an aux engine on her but it effected the balance too much for my liking. Changed the cable out the day after. Had help from Fishlocker junior. 😉👍🏻🎣
Bloody hell mate, all those fish you throw back 🤕. I do let the undersised go 🐟
Freezer is already full mate 🤷🏻♂️
@@TheFishLocker thought so mate hahaha, good stuff mate, if people were less greedy we would have a healthier eco system.
02:20 We need to bring in proper mandatory licensing for boats here in the UK, maybe teach these harbour speed plonkers a thing or two or some fines from the harbourmasters would do it.
- There is a speed limit but some people just don't follow it. Its annoying isn't it.
Great vids mate. That's not a 'Poldark' accent though. North east? Boro?
Ken Jordan - Haha. It most definitely is not a Poldark accent. Thank god!!! North east and Whitby mate. 😉👍🏻🎣 Glad you’re enjoying the vids 😬
Nice wrasse n ya got a nice few whopper pollock too fair play Bro another great video
got to the launch a couple of years ago, and found our cable had snapped , least we weren't at sea
- That must have been annoying.
Really enjoyable video. Really liked the advice about taking your time when bringing Wrasse up and unhooking tips, I think theres a real shortage of good fish care advice out there 👍 I'm sure the boat advice following your spot of bother will be valuable to many too. And great fishing of course! 🎣
Devon Lerfer - Thanks mate. Yeah, it’s painful on charters to watch people winching fish up to the boat just to chuck them back blown for the seagulls. And the unhooking piece I’ve seen some absolute catastrophes with folks trying to unhook deep hooked fish the conventional way. 🤦🏻♂️🎣🐟
Those Pollock would have been swimming in some grease. Lol
- Haha. We do have a couple of really nice Pollack catch and cook vids. ;)
funny story, couple weeks a go, bloke landed his 14ft boat on beach at studland dorset tide went out he called harbour control, coast guard and life boat out . complete opposite to you lol
woody - That unfortunately is what you get when you mix water and no brains. You see it all the time mate. Anyone can buy a boat. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ My opinion is that unless I am actually going to die. Then there are people who need the lifeboat more than me. 😉👍🏻🛥
Calm as a good seaman should be. Well done John. Loved the fishing with you.
Nomad - Thanks mate. Losing your head doesn’t help anything does it. Best to just assess, adapt and overcome. 😉👍🏻🎣🐟
Hi Buddy. Great Video. Good Fishing and excellent Seamanship. It's really worth other budding fishermen watching this for the great job you did when your steerage broke. I think you should do a safety at sea video in the future for the novice boat fishermen who are in need of good common sense instruction. Well done John !!!
KEITH HITCHMAN - Haha. Funny you should mention that. 😉
may day may day lol
woody - Things have got to get pretty bad for me to ever call the lifeboat. They have far more important things to be doing. 😉👍🏻🎣🛥
As always another excellent video, stunning colours on that cuckoo 🎣
Tom H - Thanks Tom. They have some cracking colours don’t they. Stunning fish. 😬👍🏻🎣🐟
Keep up the good work well done! Try get in few plaice videos over the summer if you can.
p o callaghan - Thanks mate. If the Plaice show up down my way I will defo try and get amongst them. 👍🏻🎣😉
Good vid John. It's great fishing for Pollack like that, slow jigs will also work well if you don't have any sandeels.
Ps: maybe get yourself a little auxilliary 4hp and fit it to that swingdown bracket:):)
mr wildgoose - I like slow jigs. Had some cracking fish on them in the past. But there isn’t much that beats the real thing is there? 😉👍🏻 I’ve had an aux fitted before but it effected the balance too much for my liking.
@@TheFishLocker if you could manage with a 2.5hp aux, then the latest little Yamaha or Suzuki engines, are surprisingly lightweight.
Agree with your balance comment though, I find it particularly when I have a passenger - totally different dynamics and much harder to find the plane point.
Happy ending! Beautiful day of fishing! I like to fish for wrasse species over here, Tautog! Man they fight hard, like a diesel locomotive and you get them up and its only a few pounds! Use hard crabs too!
Z Worm - The are great fighters aren’t they. Yes hard backed crabs do seem to find the better fish don’t they. 😬👍🏻🎣🦀
you can pierce the swim bladder with a sewing needle.They wicked patterns on them wrasse beautiful fish.
raymond bailey - Haha. Do you carry a sewing needle with you often? 😉😛 I know that process does sometimes allow them to swim back down out of sight but it’s been proven that they very very rarely survive. The same is done to more than the swim bladder sadly.
@@TheFishLocker sail needle haha im on the blue shark vid now steering went in the last video lol.
How much did it cost to buy your boat?
bravo kiera - I think it was around £7k second hand.
Great stuff, really enjoyed this. Sort of stuff I do near Plymouth, unfortunately, the Salmon farms have been paying top cash for thousands of wrasse to be trapped and sent up to Scotland as cleaner fish.
Good sensible advice at the end.
Jon Rundle - Yes we had the same happening with our wrasse down here. It’s been stopped now though I believe. Glad you enjoyed the vid mate.👍🏻🎣😊
Memories of lovely weather and lovely fishing looking forward to a trip to the south west next summer when we can travel again. Missed my Devon trip so this is just the tonic I needed.
- Let us hope that things are safer by summer time next year. 😊
Great video's and very informative, is also nice to see someone who cares for the fish he is catching, one thing I would love to see in your video's are shots of the depth/fish finder to see the lay of the bottom you are fishing over, it would make an already great video evdn better.
- I have done a video showing how I use the fish finder. Have you seen it?
Your first class John love watching your videos
Love wrasse fishing 🎣 lo e your rigs just need to practice my nots a little more. Much love from Dublin 🇮🇪 take care pal
- Thank you very much Philip, I do love my wrasse fishing to. Stunning fish. Tight lines mate and stay safe. :D
Hope u got back safe mate,great video again,some cracking colours on the fish,take care....
Will Stewart - Thanks Will. Yeah I made it back in the end. Just took my time. Yes those wrasse can be stunning can’t they. Always nice to see. Stay safe mate and tight lines. 😊👍🏻🎣
whats the point in catching the fish ten putting them back ,whats wrong with putting a few chips around them.
John Frost - Haha. 🤔 I see your point. 😛
Just come across you yesterday. Watched half a dozen already. Absolutely brilliant and so well delivered, many thanks. And yes there are many selfish twats that produce wash without thinking.
Stephen Thomas - Glad you’re enjoying them Stephen. 😉 And Yes, unfortunately there are too many folks that have no consideration for other boat users. 😔
@@TheFishLocker Thanks for replying to my 3 separate comments, much appreciated.
Well done John. I hope the problem wasn't too serious. (Great day's fishing btw!! ;-) )
- Snapped steering cable thats all mate. 😊
The whole stretch of rocks there and to the right is wrasse city. Some proper shore caught pigs to be had if you can navigate the seals.
Them seals can be a real pain can't they.
Not long until 4000 subscribers!!!🎣
Fishing Tom - Fingers crossed. That was my target for 2019. 2k likes on the fb page and 4K subs for RUclips. Going well so far. 😬😬😬👍🏻🎣
Thanks for another enjoyable video, mate and Glad that you got back O.K. with out having to call for help.
Down here in Jersey, we usually find that when the sand eel comes back with a bite on the neck like yours did, the culprit is a cuttle fish, do you get them in your neck of the woods? They are an excellent bait for conger, rays and anything big enough to take them, just cut out the white bone and hook on. Good luck with your fishing and I eagerly await your next video.
martin cardy - No problem Martin, glad you enjoyed it. Yes we do get cuttle and I have also noticed they tend to go for the back of the head. Squid usually eat the belly out. I did a video last year catching cuttle and octopus. As you say, fantastic bait for conger. 👍🏻🎣🐟
Thanks mate, I'll look out for your videos and watch your previously shown ones, I'm now subscribed .
martin cardy - Awesome. Welcome to the channel. 😬👍🏻🎣🐟
I've heard a bell toll I love your videos so much knowledge John I would love too go sea fishing with you
- That is wonderful to hear Ben. I am really pleased that you are enjoying the videos and finding them informative. Best wishes and tight lines. :)
Great video again👍👍👍
Romas fisherman - Thankyou very much. 👍🏻🎣
GREAT KEEP IT UP
Roger King - Thanks Roger. All the best 👍🏻🎣🐟
Hi John, what an eventful expedition! Lovely to see those pretty Wrasse! Some lovely Pollack too - did I detect a little hesitation with that last big one? I thought that one might be heading back to the Fish Locker Manor for tea! I would have been tempted! Shame about the steering cable but as you said, all the maintainance in the world won't prevent an occasional breakage. At least you did what you said, kept your head and got home safely, and at the end of the day, it made for another fantastic video!
Have you done a video about the virtues of Mono Vs Fluoro Vs Braid? Another topic I would like to see is the best way to spool up reels for shore fishing/casting - I think with a boat reel, it's not so crucial. I bought some 20Lb braid for the reel for the new Continental beachcaster, and on the 4th cast, it went out fine, but when I reeled it in, there were 3 small 'Birds nests' about 20 yards up from the shock leader. I'm wondering whether, in an effort to get the best casting performance, I overspooled the Braid a bit! Anyway, good luck, tight lines, and many thanks!
Trampster - Yes things were going so well. Some nice fish and a lovely day... Sod’s law I suppose. All sorted in the end. I haven’t done a braid vs mono vid but it is a possible subject to have a look at. The shame with ones like that is everyone thinks they’re an expert and the vids always get loads of dislikes - like the boat launching one. 🤷🏻♂️ The little birdsnests sound a bit like wind knots. Maybe a combination of too much on the spool and not tightly enough on the spool. I always like to load a spool at home and then run it out on the back of the boat with a small rag or something attached. Then reload it all onto the spool under some pressure.
@@TheFishLocker Thanks for the reply John! Dislikes on the boat launching video?? I thought it was superbly informative, and regretfully, I don't even have a Boat! 😂😂 I did load the reel at home with a decent line spooler and some tension, and I can see what you mean by running it out from the back of the Boat, but again, no Boat! Perhaps I ought to tie it to the back of me Jeep & try that! 😂😂 Luckily, the reel in question came with a spare spool, and whilst I didn't have any Mono to hand, I did have a big spool of Kastking Fluoro so have thrown that on to try!! Thanks Mate!
PS I have just re-visited the Boat launch video - 4,732 views, 158 likes, and 8 dislikes, so not too bad - the nature of RUclips says there are always going to be a few awkward buggers that hit the Thumbs down!!
Great video! Always a silver lining, some great tips on how to catch awesome pollack and steer a wounded boat without panicking, many thanks!
- Thats is mate. No need to panic. Assess, adapt and overcome. 😊
I do love Wrasse, such a pretty fish. You had some lovely Pollack too John, I'm just sorry you had the trouble of a broken steering cable, a real shame that it ruined your day. Thank you for another excellent, informative video.
- It didn't ruin the day it just cut it a little short. 😊
Thank you for being conscious of the effects of decompression on the fish you catch. I've noticed that a lot of american fisherman youtubers will drop a fish back down that's got clear signs of decompression as soon as they reel it up and get footage of it
Sadly not everyone is as conscientious about fish welfare. I hope that it transfers across in our videos of other ways to do things 😊
Hi John, great video as always. I have a question. How do you find new spots to fish if you’re in a completely unfamiliar area?
There is a video on the channel explaining this. Look in the shore fishing for beginners playlist.
@@TheFishLocker sorry, I didn’t explain what I’m looking for clearly. I meant when you are on a boat. I understand that wrecks are good, reefs are good. But how do you know where to look for them? Is there anything else I should pay attention to? Maybe irregular seabed? I’ll be buying buy a small boat or inflatable for the summer and I don’t know how should I approach it.
Your videos are always great, unlucky on the steering but looks like you had a great day fishing!! Hope you get the boat sorted out without to much effort/cost
Reel Fishing UK - Thanks mate. Yeah was a cracking day up until that point, but hey, life’s like that some times. Me and the little man fixed it the following day so no real drama. 😬👍🏻🎣😉🛠
Great video and plenty of hints and tips for the beginner.
I hope it helps folks.
thats a smashing pollock!
- We have had some crackers this year. I love fishing for them inshore in the reefs. Great fun and you can release most fish back to the sea again. 😊
Here in the states they sell a tool that deflates the bladder on deep fish so you can let them go back down , I'm assuming that the hole heals over later,
- There are several on the market but studies show they still have a high mortality rate with certain species and at any depths over 100ft. The damage is done to more than just the swim bladder, so even though the fish goes back down out of sight. It doesn't mean it survives. I have made one such device myself for returning wrasse. ;)
hope you made it home thanks for the video
gary CURD - Haha. Yeah Gary, just took it easy and made it ok. 👍🏻🎣😉
As always, fantastic video.
I had similar situation just as we set to come out, luckily we've been 3 in the boat and we had no further issues. Alone I'd have been lost 😁
vasi bec - I’m glad it happened when it did. Had it happened on the way out id have been very annoyed.lol. It did take a bit of creative thinking to get onto the mooring but I managed it.lol. How did you guys get on?
@@TheFishLocker Yeah that would've been a ruined day to have it at going out.
I've been on the wheel, another stirring the engine by hand and the third very helpful at mooring . My fault entirely as I notice some steering play but ignore it and... payed for it.😁 Lesson learned!
vasi bec - Definitely mate. It’s worth happening if you learn from it. 😉👍🏻🎣
you must of got in ok but you should have carried on with the vid to show how you got in ok
Phill Gallon - Haha. I considered it but had a little too much on my mind to have to worry about the camera. I got back ok which is the main thing. 😉👍🏻🎣
Fantastic video from my favourite fishing channel. 🎣🌞🍦
Boris S - Thankyou very much mate. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏻🎣😬
Just came across your channel today. Great pleasure to watch. Always nice to come across someone who both enjoys what they are doing, and enjoys imparting their knowledge and experience to others. Thanks for brightening up my day!!
- It is my pleasure and welcome to our channel. If you are just finding us that is great as we have a lot of content for you to work through.😊
Another cracking video mate
Scott - Cheers Scott. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻😬🎣🐟
We are surrounded by stupid people on boats and even worse jet bikes
- Amen.
Stunning fish, colours were amazing... Glad you got back safe, thanks John.
PatBot - Thankyou. Yes those cuckoo wrasse are something special aren’t they. 👍🏻😊🎣🐟
Great video - Shit happens - What a plonker trying to poach your spot !!
Giles Killinger - I know, tell me about it!! Funny isn’t it how people start getting real close when they see you catching good fish. They literally got within touching distance at one point. 🤣🤣 Day was ok up until that point but could have been worse.
"They Don't Think" sorry John "They Don't Give a Fck" it's the attitude now, it's a great shame but that's the society we live in now!
- Its very sad isn't it. There is so much good and joy to be shared, and some folks just don't seem to have a clue about anyone but themselves or how their actions effect others. Its not just fishing its the world over :(
I do a little bit of (very!) inshore canoe fishing around about Oban in Scotland and you should see the speed that the 'jet jockeys' come past you at......🤬🤬
Yep I remember the days when fishermen an fisherwoman would help each other It’s a shame I had cought a huge king Mac off a peer an know one would offer to help just made fun of my rod an real claiming I got it at the dollar been store Very disappointed 😢
The sad thing about common sense is...it's not that common

Gave up on midsummer murders John to watch this episode, I'm so glad I did.
Excellent video once again.
I've only ever caught mackerel, pollock,dogfish and 1 5' tope when I was much younger and use to dabble whilst on holiday in N. Wales.
How do you attach those tiny crabs ?
Phil . Manchester
phil brooke - Best way to attach the crabs is to pull off a leg and slide the hook in the leg socket. 😉👍🏻🎣
Great video mate some nice fish there shame you broke your steering cable but things happen at least you're ok I want broke down on the way back from Withernsea with all my fishing gear on my bike since I snapped my throat cable I had to make a suicide throttle cable and ride the bike one-handed while revving but dangerous but got me home in the end Thailand's mate
Scott Senior - Thanks Scott. Good job on the makeshift repair - makes a good story aswell doesn’t it. 😉👍🏻😬🛠
@@TheFishLocker yes it's that's true but glad you got home ok mate I've only had one fishing trip where I didn't make it home and that was just after Christmas this year but so I'm pretty Lucky on these issues hopefully going to try the cost at some point catch some smooth hounds can't sit and catch flounders all day and some good sessions this year my secret spot was King George car park in Hull for the flounders there was loads there top bit was blue

Roger rabbit - No problem. Glad we could help. Fingers crossed for some good weather for you. 😉👍🏻🎣🤞🏻
I seen you making macky lures with crisp packets try caprisun drink cartons they really thick i dont think mackerel would bite them off the hooks.
- The best things I have found is the shiny ribbons you use to decorate presents. ;)
@@TheFishLocker i have just got me a fly tying vice i will have to try a few different things.
raymond bailey - I’m going to be looking at doing that in 2020. 😉🎣
Or if you had a tiller you could still steer it!!
