Hi mate, I'm going down to St mawes in August and have been doing for years, but so far unsuccessful with sea bass and desperate to catch one this year, what are good lures for down there and any good location recommendations! Love your video!

[@dmp2000uk]

Can somebody explain the idea behind filling the reel with 20lb braid and then attaching a 15lb leader ? Surely the weak spot is the knot or link between leader and braid, which will be less than 15lb. So what is the braid bringing to the party ? I just fill the spool with 17lb Can somebody explain the idea behind filling the reel with 20lb braid and then attaching a 15lb leader ? Surely the weak spot is the knot or link between leader and braid, which will be less than 15lb. So what is the braid bringing to the party ? I just fill the spool with 17lb monofilament which seems to work. No mucking on with knots. What am I missing ?

@@dmp2000uk I wondered the same thing and john answered if you look back in the comments of this vid

You're knocking everyone out of the park with these vids John, the smile on your face when you was catching them bass says it all!!

[@TheFishLocker]

Shore Fishing Essex - Haha. I’m not sure about that. I get plenty of negative stuff from folks aswell - this vid in particular. I’m still blown away by how well your octopus vid did?!? I’m glad my mood comes across to viewers. What can I say mate, I love what I do. 😊💙🎣🐟

[@shorefishingessex]

Anyone who watches your videos can see you're the man to watch amongst all the sea anglers on KZbin in the UK at the moment, that's just plain & simple fact, even the little tip of having your boat facing away from danger is patently obvious but as someone who has never owned a boat before(I would love to one day), this has never entered my head & I won't forget that that tip, it's what KZbin was made for, enjoyable & informative videos!! As for the octopus vid, I think the algorithm train slowed down just long enough for me to jump on & I'm not sure I will ever get on it again!! It was pure good fortune, I released that vid around the same time some other big foreign KZbinrs were doing the same thing, Ace Videos to be precise but others too, his latest catch & cook octopus vid had 7 million views last time I looked! As far as I was aware I was the first UK KZbinr to do something similar, when I pulled the plug my subs had tripled & I had 330,000 views on that one vid within around 3 weeks!! You never know, that opportunity might come around again but whatever, I'll have fun trying!!

[@TheFishLocker]

Shore Fishing Essex - Smash fishing have pretty much built their current subs base around their catch and cook vids all in the last 6 months. They’ve managed to get the big cooking channels with 1m+ subs sharing their vids. 😉👍🏻 If you find some very big tides and want to come down here for a beach cook out let me know.

[@shorefishingessex]

John, I think you should definitely tap into that mate, now you have the subs & the views you can pretty much fart on tape & people will watch it, your regular viewers might not necessarily appreciate the cooking on the beach thing but I'm sure they realise your abilities in what you normally do to let you delve into something different occasionally, the fact is that the Americans love the shellfish/cooking on the beach type vids, I had people from all over the world subscribed to me last time, the UK sea angling stuff appeals mainly to the Brits & I think you will sweep them all up eventually but the extra subs will come from the rest of the world. I would love to come down to you in the future & do this sort of thing, it would be my pleasure!

That was a hugely successful mornings fishing John. There were some smaller size Bass but there were some really good size, more often than not. If I ever had a fishing trip half as successful as this trip for you, I would have had to take some of the larger Bass home if for no other reason than I would have been in a state of shock to have 'caught fish' let alone fish of that size.

It is a whole different ball game. I wish I could have learnt from someone as yourself back then as your video's are very imformative with lots of tips. I have learnt a lot. Since finding you I have subscribed and am addicted to watching your vids. I look forward to seeing more and more as time goes on. I feel I spired to get out sea fishing again and put many of your tips and lessons I have learnt from you to the test. I also love to see you getting out there and sharing it with your family. Great videos please keep it up. Thank you

[@TheFishLocker]

John Rickards - Glad I could take you down memory lane John. Drougues are useful when running an open ground drift but when this close to the cliffs it’s just a potential complication in my eyes. Definitely useful if drifting over wrecks and big reefs in open water though. 👍🏻🎣

I think I've watched this video 3 or 4 times it's one of my favourites cuz it looks alot like the coast line where I worked on a charter boat many years ago, the outcrop of rock looks almost identical to the back end of our little island called the calf of man, its a tiny little island with one old farm house with one occupant who studies the bird life and tags them on the island and in good weather they do day trips but I just worked around the tiny island on the charter boat great fishing but also saw Basking shark's an orca whale and dolphins, its a lovely place if you ever get a free weekend you should come over and sample some of the sights n fishing, I'm really lucky to live on the isle of man I never take it for granted the beauty of this place is stunning.

My all-time favourite lure is the Sidewinder pearl eel, but I'm surprised to see it working so well in bright sunny conditions. We normally go out in dull and rougher seas, and the pearls do really well. Recently I used a much larger lure (can't remember if it was a sidewinder or not) in speckled green/silver, and let it sink down lower just off some rocks with extremely rough water about, and hooked up two lovely Bass of over 7 lbs. I find the pearls do well in darker conditions. In brighter skies/waters I find the darker lures work better. But hey! You caught a load there!

[@TheFishLocker]

- I agree, generally speaking dark days a lighter coloured lure and on bright days a dark lure. But there is always that one day that will prove the complete opposite.Haha

Great video as usual, you really are a great fisherman! One thing I would like to suggest, I watch lots of videos on woodwork and other subjects, in those videos they put links to the equipment used so people can purchase the same items.

[@TheFishLocker]

Peter Thomson - Thank you Peter. The worst thing that is happening to our coastal fisheries is the foreign plunder as everyone scrambles around post Brexit. The recreational sector don’t even make a dent, even if I kept 50% of everything I ever catch in the year, I wouldn’t equal the discard from one commercial trawler in 1 trip. And the UK Fleet is so diluted that they could fish their whole current quotas and it would still be a vast VAST reprieve for the fish stocks.

I usually use either bar spinners or eddy jellys that look like sandeel with a curled red tail, both work well if the fish are feeding but as u know some days nothing works and other days you hook up nearly every cast. Another great video , I always enjoy seeing what you catch , you definitely have a few species down Cornwall that we don't get like John dorey, I don't know anyone who's caught one of them and we definitely don't get tuna well not anymore after years of over fishing their's not enough shoals of herring passing through which the tuna follow, things are getting better though due to no tow zones and no netting areas it's given some species chance to recover.

When you mention the sight of a Seal ?. The times am down at Ayr on another Photo Op . At the harbour wall which is a haven for people fishing on whilst at the same time a Seal made itself known in the same patch of water . From what i saw the ones i saw fishing were having little success . I guess it's a hit n miss situation Yesterday whilst down at Troon taking some pics the weather wasn't exactly tickety boo .Strong Norwesterly wind was brutal just whipping up the water . There was a chap fishing at the edge of the Rockface when i moved down to where he was just at the back of him setting up my Camera the waves crashing in and cracking him . I was very surprised that he was lucky not to have been swept off into the Sea he defo had balls of steel .

[@TheFishLocker]

colintraveller - Sea legs take time to achieve. 😉👍🏻🌊 I am not a fan of seals. The worst thing that has happened to the inshore fishing in recent years is the seals. Too many are being hand reared, rescued etc and then released. They are now associating humans with food. They are also buggers for taking fish from fishermen’s nets and lines. 😡🎣🐟

Just started watching you channel, amazing work , been out of sea fishing for a while but just getting back into it. Very amazing work and very informative keep it up!

[@TheFishLocker]

jo clint - Thankyou Jo and welcome back. If you haven’t gathered I LOVE my sea fishing. 😬👍🏻🎣😉

Nice one, I'm having the first week in July off to go lure fishing around Pembrokeshire and gower 👍

[@TheFishLocker]

Good luck. 😊

[@hubby-tubadventures01]

Emmet Envy yet again John. Sorted my 20 hour shift blues that did. Know the venue and yak it when I'm down and I'm with you that its a "bassy" spot. I have no issue getting the Pollock and Wrasse there so to see the bars coming out adds weight. Anyone would think a galleon went down there with that much silver about. Keep 'em coming, but leave one for my visit in 2 weeks :-)

[@TheFishLocker]

HUBBY - TUB - Between me and you mate, it’s all about a culmination of the right conditions. 😉🎣👍🏻

Looked like you enjoyed that session, well done mate cannot beat light gear for bass

[@TheFishLocker]

remi naftel - Remi I am so so glad you recommended them to me. Those lures are killer!! This is actually the second session with them. You get an honourable mention in the first it just took more editing so will be up in a couple of weeks. 😉👍🏻🎣

I have been and had a bit of a fish earlier,and had 2 gilthead's nothing massive but both around the one pound,also lots of school bass.all went back,and all fish caught on rag/squid cocktail

Kevin Whitaker - Sounds like a good little session mate. Cracking looking fish aren’t they them gilts.👍🏻🎣

[@jamespollard3000]

hi John, recently stumbled onto your videos...and I`m smiling to myself as I`ve spent some considerable time down your neck of the woods. I`ve been holidaying on the Roseland for a few years now and love it ! I take my 6.2 metre power boat down and take a mooring in St Just creek and spent most days fishing, potting and foraging with my missus for most of the time I`m down there. I recognise most of the spots where you frequent and I`m really jealous of the leisure time you have ...lolI love know some of the specific marks you use for catching decent bass...?

[@TheFishLocker]

James Pollard - It is a wonderful place down here isn’t it. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. If you do recognise the marks, don’t publicise the name or location. Those who know know. 😉👍🏻🎣🐟

[@dodgybodger3124]

Great sesh John. 👍 Mi green eyed monsters trying to surface. That's my idea of great fun. I'm of to Anglesey tmoz. Pray the bass gods are with me. As I've said previously, I've never caught one.😔 Keep em coming pal. 👍 ✌

Another great watch and I've just bought some sidewinders on your recommendation.

[@TheFishLocker]

Sam TheMan - Thanks Sam. You’ll have to send me some pics of the fish they catch. 😉👍🏻🎣

[@IOMFishing]

Bass seem really fickle compared to a lot of other species, definitely pays to have a big selection of lures ready. Great session mate and really enjoyable watch! The one lure I never leave without is the lemon Savage Sandeel, often use it for testing new marks. Caught everything from Bass, Pollack, Coalfish to Wrasse, Ling and even big Gurnard on it.

[@TheFishLocker]

IOM Fishing - Thankyou very much. I have 4 that are my go to lures ( was 3 until I tried these ) usually if the fish are there one of the 4 will tempt them. 😉👍🏻🎣

[@IOMFishing]

@@TheFishLocker Go on I'll bite, what are your other 3? I've got the lemon Savage Sandeel, natural Skerries Eel (just ordered a pack of your white ones to try), Rhubard and Custard Sidewinder and a cheap Fiiish Black Minnow alternative as my must haves. If things get really tough and it's avoiding a blank then it's a gulp lugworm Texas style scuffed along the bottom :) The other 1-200 types in the box never seem to see light of day!!

[@TheFishLocker]

IOM Fishing - I have some curly Hawgtails that I fish Texas style, some small white and silver curly tailed savage gear eels and the good old trusty silver spinner ( dexter wedge style ) 😉👍🏻🎣

[@IOMFishing]

@@TheFishLocker Good choice! I completely forgot about the dexter, the only reason I don't use it more is a natural aversion to trebles, I'm a clumsy bugger and seem to catch myself as much as the fish on them :)

[@trampster7306]

Bass-tastic video John! Didn't you see the application from that 1st Bass for a starring role in a Fishlocker Towers catch & cook? 😂😂 Your mention of the Falcons triggered a memory - I was driving down a narrow country lane with high hedges to a mate's place a few years ago and a Pigeon appeared about 10 metres in front of the car flying straight between the hedges. Just as I thought to myself "Look at that silly bugger", a Falcon or Sparrowhawk appeared behind it & cleanly took it out! Bye bye Pigeon! Tight lines John, hope the family are all well - keep 'em coming! 👍👍

[@TheFishLocker]

Trampster - Thanks mate. Haha. As you know I’m a catch and release guy. 😉 Ref. the falcons, It’s amazing being able to witness nature like that isn’t it. The family is good mate, just praying for this rain to finish so we can get back to enjoying our summer. 😉👍🏻🎣🐟🛥

Cracking Bass session, just ordered some of these lures. I have only really started having a go at plugging for Bass as we normally fish with live sandeels but they are proving very difficult to catch this year, so these Lures look fantastic so am looking forward to having a got next time I take the boat out. Its about having confidence it certain lures. Let you know how I get on and thanks for sharing this info.

[@TheFishLocker]

chris Court - As you say mate, it’s absolutely what you have confidence in. I’ve actually found I get more Pollack on live sandeels than bass. Let me know how you get on with those lures mate. Send me some pics to the Fishlocker fb page. 👍🏻🎣
