- For anyone curious for a way to cook your Pollack, here is a delicious and simple recipe from Mrs Fishlocker for Creamy fish pie. 😊🐟🍽 ruclips.net/video/S41cJ1Y5k5s/видео.html
Hollis - We here in the UK are not really in a position to give judgement as we do not know what is actually happening. Only what the news stations and media’s are saying. All I know is that looting, destroying property and violence does not help anyone.
We were fishing off a trawler off the coast of Scotland caught 2 Pollack and 2 decent Cod, gave one Pollack away, threw the other on the beach for the Seagulls and made some amazing meals with the Cod..... They steam beautifully.....
Your videos are better then any fishing videos I’ve ever watched. They’re beautifully edited, informative and conservation minded. Better than anything I’ve watched on either the BBC or ITV. You make me want to buy a boat for heavens sake and I live slap bang in the middle of the country, lol. Thank you! Can’t wait for the next one 🦞🐟🦀🐙
- Thank you very much for the kind words John, I am really glad to hear that you are enjoying our content. Seriously though, boats are not all fun and games. They can be very expensive. But so much fun!! 😊
- Thank you Rita, I do really hope that people see the sustainable and conscientious way that we fish and adopt it a little into their own fishing. 😊👍🏻🎣💙
Another great video. I always love your explanations about trying to return as much as you can, but sometimes, a fish is just table bound. Thankful for its life and how that life will provide sustenance to your family.
Another fantastic experience, and an absolute joy to share in the sportsmanship and class of The Fishlocker. It is truly superb to see the compassion and care that you have for your quarry. Thanks again fella.
I saw the bobber go down and as soon as I was about to say "you've got a bite" you grabbed the rod. Not that you would've heard me. Lol Beautiful fish today. It's pretty rare you find somebody who actually cares about a fish. That's 1 reason why I like your channel so much. You don't take what isn't needed. Sometimes you have to, but catch and release is very important. Always fun to watch you. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe and healthy..
- Thank you Fergie. That is exactly how I feel. We return what we can, care for everything and usually only take what cannot be returned. In my mind that is the best and most respectful way to be. 😊🎣💙
Another gr8 vid as always,, Guess wot ?? the buggers have again changed the date of me Op to the 2nd July.. It was the 18th then the 25th, its a bit frustrating, but it is what it is, during these difficult times and we have to grin and bear it, So keep the vids flowing it's what keeps me from blowing a fuse. I've just realized the pun.. "On the water with a flowing tide n I said keep the vids flowing" LOL ..Del
Truly awesome channel! I'm quickly making my way through all of your videos. I have recently made a bit of a switch from fresh water fishing to sea fishing and I would have struggled a lot more without your channel. After a couple of blank sessions I caught my first bass last Thursday (and second and third!) and wouldn't have done it without the top class info on this channel! I love how the channel isn't simply about the fish but everything that goes with it, the appreciation of nature, the foraging, surroundings and the family! All I can say is thanks a lot and I look forward to the next video.
- That is it Danny, we share everything. From the start to the finish. Simple and honest - and I hope that is what sets us apart from the other channels simply trying to cash in. I am glad that you have found the videos helpful and tight lines mate. 😊
Worth watching just to see your face when you caught the sea cucumber......and removing it....like a scene from Ghostbusters!! Another great video, thanks John!
Another great session John - the last two Pollock were beauties! Catering for the Veggies too now I see, catching Cucumbers! Thanks for the uploads - Stay safe & well!
Live on Pollack and saithe like that! Two of my favorites. Used to fly fish for them off the Greater Cumbrae in the Firth of Clyde. Always a great day fishing.
Cracking video buddy it’s great how you show us how to catch the fish and then the quick introduction to what you have caught then the clincher how to cook the little buggers bravo sir as always !!!!
Hi RICHARD HAYWARD here, I agree with you totally, if you are scratching for bait it can work well. Pollack are better on a float as they can dive into the nearest bit of kelp they can find.
I haven't commented lately But I've literally been binge watching many episodes since yesterday afternoon. i love the one at Mullion Cove when you were diving and this episode brings back memories of fishing on my Grandpa's boat when I was younger. Thanks for a really great show!
Well done John. I can feel your genuine concern about the welfare of your catch when these rare events occur. SO many just wouldn't 'give a damn'.Yet another excellent, informative - and humane - video. My Best Wishes to the family.
@@TheFishLocker For me - (and many others) - I know it is that very fact. All of us - of a similar mindset - wish you and the family well on this John.
Hey if it's on the hook and you reeled it in then a catch is a catch. I've never seen anyone else do it. Target or not it's still one for the book.😄🍻 Cheers mate.
Laying in the hospital. Had a total knee replacement today and the pain meds are not working. Your video is just what I need. No sleep for me tonight.....great video btw....
- Thank you Connie. I feel that is just part of being a conscientious catch and release fisherman. We return what we can and happily eat what will not survive. 😊
Another cracking video, almost better watching the videos than actually going fishing myself less blanking involved, the bell on the reef buoy was fairly loud, nice fish again
Always good to see the returned. Good to see some for table to mind my way fillet and release lol 😂 Never seen a sea cucumber on a hook afore come to think of it don't think iv seen one unless you have showed us them. Am taking it you can't eat them or taste bad lol 😂 👍👍👍😜🏴🦄🎣😁🤞✌️
Hey man I just wanted to say I’m glad your enjoying ya self again cause the last time I stopped by ur channel you were in quarantine, keep doin ya what ur doin we love ya
Great to see your catching a few different species John... I've fished the River Clyde since I was a lad and always tales from the older generation about cod the same height as a grown man but the river suffered from major pollution and there were even warnings not to eat the shellfish.. Its slowly getting better 👍
Hello John 🙋 lovely to see you on the water,mind l was holding my breath for that last pollack,you did good 👌 your face was gold when that sea cucumber started secreting all that slim 😁 pearl fish hide in a sea cucumbers bum for safety from predators,just something l picked up when l was in the Bahamas,but lm sure you know that.Thankyou so much for sharing John....more please when you have the time 😉🌱🌱🌱💕
- I have read about a type of fish that lives inside a sea cucumber but thought they were only in foreign ( tropical ) waters. We have a few more nice videos in editing coming up. 😊
Hey John!! You should have posted a disclaimer about the choppy water on day 1- I almost needed to take a Dramamine :) LOL. I am glad day 2 was a much better day.Thanks for a GREAT video!!
Good video. Lots of nice pollack and that sea cucumber was indeed a strange one. I once caught a Hedgehog on the fly when I was night fishing for seatrout... strange, but true. Might be worth asking around for viewers strangest catches.
@@TheFishLocker Yes it was. It must have fallen in. It was about two in the morning so I couldn't see what it was at first. I lifted it up by the line and thought I'd hooked a coconut :-) I grabbed it and got the surprise of my life and some spines in my hand. I unhooked it and it walked away none the worse for its adventure.
Good to see you are keeping safe with that inflatable life vest, too many people round here disregard them, I also did let out a chuckle when you fished up that sea cucumber xD
Hi John, enjoyable stuff. Here in NZ we have Blind eels (Lamprey) bottom feeders which also release a slime when threatened, Having hooked one you have to cut the tackle and replace it as you'll never get a fish to take a bait with any trace of their slime on it, that's what I've found anyway. Thanks for a balanced show including "table time" from Mrs. Fish locker.
My favourite method also john .... cracking fish there well done .. The sea cucumber in your hand looked a bit odd for a second I must say 🤣 Great video again buddy
Pound for pound, I reckon a coalie fights harder than Pollock or cod. Pollock are not to be sniffed at, a great table fish, well done that lad. Keep up the awesome work. Sometimes the bigger fish are closer in.
Now that’s what you call a great days fishing John then to turn it into a Conner of a session you get two slab pollack stunning ma friend well in pal.give my best to all the family atvb from Scotland 🏴
Just wanted to say, I love when you follow up gathering with the meal. An example is when Mrs. Fishlocker cooked up the plaice. Of course then I start salivating, which isn't good as I live too far away to accidentally show up at dinner time.
- Thank you for the feedback. We do like to share videos in sequence like that with the Plaice if we are able but often we don't have time to make the videos every time we are cooking something up. Also, sometimes we have already made a video of that exact recipe - and don't want to duplicate.
@@TheFishLocker It's probably the most famous mark in Cornwall, so I'm not giving anything away to say the Manacles reef is to the south of you and is even marked on my 'Ordnance Survey Motoring Atlas'! It is notorious for sending quite a few ships to the bottom and I believe good for turbot as well.
- For anyone curious for a way to cook your Pollack, here is a delicious and simple recipe from Mrs Fishlocker for Creamy fish pie. 😊🐟🍽 ruclips.net/video/S41cJ1Y5k5s/видео.html
I love your videos your channel is amazing keep up the good work 😊❤❤❤
Is that a pun?
Josh Ward - I did have to think about the wording. 🤭
@@TheFishLocker LOL, love the vids! keep it up!
@@TheFishLocker just wondering about catch and release what is the reason for not towing the pollock alongside the boat like you did with the tuna?
Your conservation minded attitude is refreshing. You are a natural teacher mate - keep up the good work and thanks.
Thank you very much midge. I am simply sharing what I know and love doing. Best wishes to you bud. 👍🏻😉
Another glorious day in Cornwall the perfect antidote to watching the news.
- I couldn't agree more. I don't even watch the TV news anymore. Might start watching in a week or so when all this ridiculousness has finished.
@@TheFishLocker fingers crossed. Telly off.
britpack dog - Theres nothing I can do about any of it and it will just wind me up. So I’m staying well away from it.
Hollis - We here in the UK are not really in a position to give judgement as we do not know what is actually happening. Only what the news stations and media’s are saying. All I know is that looting, destroying property and violence does not help anyone.

- I am just so very glad to be able to share our passions with you all. 😊
@@TheFishLocker thank you man. I always look forward to seeing your vids pop up
yeah, dude has a "it's gonna be alright smile," very soothing.
Interesting story, wonderful scenery👍
- Thank you. 😊
Well done, John - your vids are a sight for the sore eyes of a Welsh fisherman who can't get out yet.
- Hopefully not too long for you mate. 😊
One of the favorite parts of my day, is watching your videos.
- Thank you so much Will, that is wonderful to hear. It truly is our pleasure to share our videos with you 😊

Another great watch John, cheers, 👍

Another great watch mate ,,you should be on tv your knowledge of the sea and what swims in it is fantastic
- Who knows where the channel will take us, but right now we are simply sharing what we love doing. 😊

What a load of old Pollocks!
Great stuff.
- Haha. Classic
Another Quality Day .....
Alls Well Ends Well
- Too right mate. 😊
so nice to see um go back too
- We do try to release as many as possible. 😊
Another fantastic experience, and an absolute joy to share in the sportsmanship and class of The Fishlocker. It is truly superb to see the compassion and care that you have for your quarry. Thanks again fella.
- Any time Andy, we are simply sharing what we know and love. Hopefully more will adopt out attitude when it comes to Catch and release. 😊
Another beautiful day and another great video John. Hope you and the family are well.
- Thank you very much, yes we are all well atm. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and have a great evening. 😊
no matter wether its sea fishing or fresh water fishing,you cant beat fishing with a float and watching that bite and striking into it!
- There is something so exciting about it isn't there. I love it. 😊
Another great video! Thank you!
- It is our pleasure MaryLu
Watching your video in the fantastic Cornwall see, drinking a good glass of prosecco! The perfetto combo. Thank you John
- Very fancy. Glad you're enjoying the content. 😊

Another great session John - the last two Pollock were beauties! Catering for the Veggies too now I see, catching Cucumbers! Thanks for the uploads - Stay safe & well!
- Haha. Thats the type of cucumber I think you'd only find in a Kardashian Salad mate. Not a nice looking thing at all. lol.
@@TheFishLocker Slimy beastie, for sure. Like you & some Mustards, I can't eat Cucumber - gives me really painful heartburn & indigestion!
I miss my little boat ,you can’t beat drifting with a lure on a light rod
- Its wonderful isn't it.
Live on Pollack and saithe like that! Two of my favorites. Used to fly fish for them off the Greater Cumbrae in the Firth of Clyde. Always a great day fishing.
- A Pollack like that on the fly would be epic!!!
@@TheFishLocker Never that big, couple of pounds tops but fun on a streamer type fly. Wee bit of flash on it. They are tough customers.
Some amazing fish John 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻 never seen a sea cucumber before. I learn something from every video you make.
- You never know what you're going to catch do you? Haha
Another great video John thank you for all your hard work in making all the films hope your family is all well Steve
- Thank you Steve, yes we are all good at the minute - thank you for asking. Best wishes to you and the family mate and have a good one. 😊
Fair play, releasing fish doesn't always go to plan and thanks for the honesty, another great video, enjoy your supper! Thank you.

Great to see your catching a few different species John...
I've fished the River Clyde since I was a lad and always tales from the older generation about cod the same height as a grown man but the river suffered from major pollution and there were even warnings not to eat the shellfish.. Its slowly getting better 👍
- It is a shame when things like that ruin what was once a wonderful fishery. Hopefully its back to its prime soon.
Spoke to a customer today about the Clyde. Changed days eh ?
Great video really enjoyed it a nice big fish there and some nice pretty fish to Tight Lines mate

@@TheFishLocker It's probably the most famous mark in Cornwall, so I'm not giving anything away to say the Manacles reef is to the south of you and is even marked on my 'Ordnance Survey Motoring Atlas'! It is notorious for sending quite a few ships to the bottom and I believe good for turbot as well.
