Even in and around the Solent in midwinter you will find occasional BIG mackerel on a sand bottom with a scratching rig with a cod feather on the bottom snood. Not every day, it needs to be a slow drift. As doggies go that's not the smallest ! Induced bite method, A sandwich in one hand, a large cup of scalding hot tea on your knee as you are facing away from the wind, Always works.
Put the kettle on the stove , just starting to whistle , surest way of getting a bite , worked two weeks ago in Southampton water 16lb Thornback was the result fish released back .
I feel that John does alot of touch and feel fishing with movement enticing a take. He may however have just got lucky , but he does definitely know his stuff not just how to catch target species but also sea craft with safety. A great video that we can all learn from.
There is never any doubt if there are spurdog around, if it's remotely edible, they've et it. we used to fish for them just over the ledge, hard work, 2-3 lb of lead into 300 ft of water. any bait. if they are running you'll catch them.
Great to watch you two fishing my area . The Boxer i think was a wreak i used to dive on and used to recover some nice munition with nice brass calibrated heads . Twenty plus years ago you defiantly would have had cod onboard from all around the areas you were fishing ,a friend even had a 20lb cod from the dive boat will waiting for the divers who were diving the Boxer. I think i need to get more adventures and try new marks, but it all tacks time and the boat is still new to me so just building confidence in the stuff i do.
@@jonsinky911 that’s really interesting jon … if you new boat fishing in our area don’t hesitate to pop me a message on the Solent warrior Facebook page .. always happy to look out for other boats and help with marks ☺️
I would think being about day between 20 to 50metrs behind the wreck would be better,the smell of the bait would take them out of the wreck so when you hook up you have a better chance of pulling them out, another great video, well done.💯🎣
@@John-ze6pr 160 ft behind the wreck wouldn’t usually entice the bigger congers out the wreck unfortunately… thanks for watching and I hope you have a wonderful new year 🥳
@@martinryan8101 thank you Martin 👊🏻 the likes a subscribes go a long way in helping the channel grow , that means we can do more videos for you all . It’s all completely FREE ☺️
Great video Dave and John The fishing knowledge of you both is second to none. Cheers to you both great fishing but Dave your have to do a second video on them marks to show you can catch fish on them 🤣🤣🤣 Dave you will have to go to John back yard and tonk him. Cheers Dave catch you on the next one Happy New Year.
I think i caught John saying muppet at both ends of the rod? We use a similar term in our golf group (I also have a boat and love fishing), "sh@t at the end of the stick". Absolutely no offence intended! Banter
diving on the east coast of ireland, i befriended a local seal. in the 4 hour dive, it ate the guts out of two dogfish. leaving them to swim in circuls bleeding out. eat liver? we still have lots of dogs. great videos mate cheers
watched a video where the guy said he could get us into sea fishing very cheaply if I was on a budget. I am retired, disabled and a pensioner. The first rod and real came to about £250 and I told him That I had just been put off sea fishing. He blocked me.
@@rachaelwyatt754 you absolutely don’t need to spend silly money on sea fishing . If you can get yourself to a local tackle Shop most of them will have budget rods and reels to dip your toe into fishing , there is also a charter boat company called wet wheels that take disabled guys out fishing and supply everything you’ll need for a great day out .. i hope that helps Rachael 🙏
@@thesolentwarrior584 I do have some gear, like cheaper beach casters and I think I could still fish piers and and harbour walls and places like the Humber. I love making rigs when I can see to do them but I know very little, but ty for your response :)
@@rachaelwyatt754 now that’s the fun part .. the more you fish the more you’ll learn and start to work out some marks ☺️ if you take a look through johns channel ( the fish locker ) there is some really good detailed videos on scratching from piers and how to catch different species ☺️
@@thesolentwarrior584 Thank you. I like watching John as I understand as he explains. Unlike many, he shows video of rod tips instead of himself and the sea :) Again thank you.
You brought pastys on the boat, you were on to a loser from there on! 😂😂 great video. Do you remember what the thing is called you cooked the pastys on? Can't find it on amazon?
You know iv never heard of no pasty’s on the boat 😂 John mention it was a thing while we were out 🫣 the only rule is no bananas on my boat haha … I cooked them with a top stove toasty maker , very easy to find on amazon 👍🏻
@thesolentwarrior584 yes we found it a couple hours after I dropped the message. I think I may have got it from one of his videos, or maybe it was fishing Salcome. One of you guys anyway. Great video 👍
If not tried it myself . I have seen a few people eating them and there is definitely mixed feeling on them 😂 … maybe a conger catch and cook video will settle it 🤷🏻♂️😉
@@thesolentwarrior584 I would like to say a nice chunky cod but we all know the solent has been lacking in them for a while last decent one I had at 22lb was when spike spears was alive long ago and no body minds a nice large winter bass while trying for a unicorn cod
Who let the dogs out ? Welcome to my neck of the woods. A B C D E ....Absolute , Bilge, Congers , Dogs, Eels...... bet you can't wait to get back on the A31 heading west. HNY.
@thesolentwarrior584 trouble is Dave, we all love it so much we can't stop doing it. Must admit , I do get quite jealous when I see John fishing out from Falmouth. Anyway, tight lines and HNY.
that John Locker is hard to beat fishing in fact his son James is hard to beat at it too -- would not surprise me if there was a mermaid or two in his family tree as I believe he can talk to those fish
