Beach Fishing For Beginners - Winter Shore Fishing 2021

[@TheFishLocker]

- I am working through editing several shore videos covering the basic aspects of shore fishing for anglers wishing to get into our sport. Does anyone have any suggestions for info to cover? 👍🏻🎣

Exactly the same here mate

[@adepease6399]

Cheers for that, only been fishing for about - 6 months after watching loads of these vids during the last lockdown, managed a couple trips a week ever since, absolutely love it. Caused a stir with a few seasoned anglers on the beach as my very first fish caught was a 5 and a half pound smoothy from Slapton. Can't wait to get out again.

[@TheFishLocker]

- Haha. Thats brilliant, its amazing how many times the best fish in a match or session falls to a relative newcomer. Good luck and tight lines Ade. 😊

[@benji.B-side]

Looking at the fishing lines disappearing into the darkness and roar of a night time sea, evokes my memories of the beautiful muse and peacefulness you get at night. I do miss the flickering light of the oil lamps and gas lamps though. Fantastic video yet again, thanks!!

[@TheFishLocker]

- There is a deep peace to fishing isn’t there. 😊

[@benji.B-side]

@@TheFishLocker There is mate. The atmosphere, the feel of the surroundings, the contemplation of the beauty of it all, inspired me to become an artist decades ago. I based some of my work on the sea and coastline, trying to capture what I saw and felt, capture the beauty of it all. Moody seascapes and abstract paintings based on water flowing through rock pools and seaweed as such.

[@simonsherwood1518]

Well done John, great advice, great viewing as always. Keep um coming if you can. You've just made my evening. CHEERS.

[@TheFishLocker]

- Thanks Simon. Take care mate. 👍🏻

[@shorefishingessex]

This video is so full of helpful information John, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised!! The hand warmer/power bank thing would have been handy for me yesterday as I done a couple of hours on my local estuary & at dusk my fingers felt like I had frost bite even with gloves on!! A very handy item & one I didn't even knew existed, also the ID between pouting & poor cod is helpful for someone like me because poor cod in my part of the world are non existent so I have nothing to compare them with. I too prefer the flood not just at night time but in most situations, in my part of the world, for me at least I've found over the years that it outfishes the ebb, especially in my estuaries where the ebb is like a raging torrent. The noise of the surf crashing on the sand is also like music to my ears, this background noise is what hooked me onto Fisho's (Billy Bantock) videos years ago when I first started watching fishing on KZbin. One last thing, when you was breathing out in the cold air it looked like you was vaping!! Great vid as usual John, can't wait for more like this!

[@TheFishLocker]

- VAPING?!?! I would not dare!!! 🤮 haha. Aye mate the hand warmer/power banks are great. I suffer with my fingers due to my past working life and it really helps. As for the flood, absolutely as you say. Fish come in and feed with the flooding tide. The only marks here that I fish that are better on the ebb is purely because of their terrain. You walk out over ledges to fish. At high water you cannot physically fish past them. Take care mate and give my best to the family. 😊

[@desirdecosse2685]

Hiya from Scotland. I do appreciate your passion and you are a good pedagogue even for a Frenchy like me living in wild Alba. Thanks

[@TheFishLocker]

My pleasure. 😊

[@davidb.7093]

For people like me that can't fish, videos like these are superb. Starting with the waves crashing on the beach, the cold which you demonstrated and that feeling of being alone are a major part of the enjoyment. (I was always told if you go sea fishing, dress as if its going to be 10 degrees colder than you think it will be you can always remove clothing if you are too warm). Anyway its like being there for me. The tips were superb and great tip on deep hooked dogfish (I know there not your favourite but those eyes are beautiful) as always you take great care of your fish from catching to release. For someone who will never own a boat these shore fishing videos are great.

[@TheFishLocker]

Brilliant. Tempting out those older guys that haven't braved a beach at night for a while. Some of us are possibly more comfortable with some wild browns, early on a spring morning. That includes me too mostly, but did take my twelve year old out spearfishing in Fowey a few times when I couldn't feel my limbs for a hour later... Worth every needle stinging split second. And then some.

[@TheFishLocker]

- Have you ever heard of those bendy leads. Like a rubber tube with lead shot in the end.

[@mstrdiver]

John - My father used to used heavy carpet threat years ago to wind around the bait when we were lake shore fishing to stop the little marauders from picking our cut baits apart just like you are doing now @ 05:30. For catfish bait, the folks had an ancient old smelly roast kept frozen in the basement freezer that catfish. Great tips still work no matter what their age.

[@loan_wzrd]

Love the sound of the waves on the shore... night fishing is actually very tranquil. And depending on the time of the year, the sea life that comes up on the tides...

[@TheFishLocker]

- I agree. Even sometimes when its roaring it is therapeutic 😊

[@TheFishLocker]

- It can be great but at this time of year it is very cold. 🥶

[@hammerstoneartifacts4986]

The way you lace the hook threw the bait is genius! Definitely going to try that technique on channel cats this summer! You won't have bait stripping. And you can leave the hook as proud as you like. I usually prebait my extra rods with cut bait. To keep the bait from drying out. Take a ziploc bag and put it around your bait and leader. Zip it shut. When l need a new baited rod. Take the ziploc bag off....Cast

[@TheFishLocker]

- The ziplock idea is a great one. If I am fishing during the day and its sunny I often keep them in the bottom of a bucket with a towel over the top to stop them drying out. 😊

Another very good video, looking forward to more. One extra tip for beginners is that you dont need to spend huge amounts of money on tackle, but whatever you get, its good to clean everything in freshwater afterwards and be very careful to keep sand away from reels!

[@TheFishLocker]

- Sand and in fishing gear is not a good combo. Good tip. 😊👍🏻

[@johnwood2223]

Great video. I'm just returned to beach fishing after many years and what I learnt was not to fish after a storm. The bottom was so churned up that every cast I gathered masses of weed, that was dragging on my line and making the fishing a bad experience.

[@TheFishLocker]

Glad you re enjoying the videos John, just after a bit of bad weather can be really good.

[@stuart207]

Great video and I'm looking forward to the next. My local beach is very shallow so moving is a must. Only thing I would say is that I keep my bait in a plastic tub especially during the day because when busy at the water I've lost it before not only to gulls but dogs too and I worry about hooks.

[@TheFishLocker]

I was impressed with the deep hook release method you use. I normally use a metal scissor to grab the hook and because your holding the scissor it can on occasion mess the fish up more than I'd like to especially with smaller fish.

Hi John, many thanks for taking us down to the beach🙂 looks very cold 🥶. Also thanks for the tips. Great idea to have baited traces ready to go even before you have unhooked your catch. You are a life line for many of us in this mess we are in. You make the break for us Happy New Year. Ian👍

Always been a cod and chips or plaice type of guy ,then I saw you catch bass my what a change, really nice fish , going to try others now, mackerel next i think,👍😷🥶 and one for James 🦕

[@TheFishLocker]

- Oh yes. Bass is lovely. Gilthead bream is absolutely wonderful also. Mackerel is an oily fish so some folks don’t enjoy it.
