Coastal Foraging - Cockles, Scallops, Mussels, Whelks and Crabs

Trojs Fishing - Thanks mate. As you know there are basic common sense do’s and don’ts that all foragers should know. Best to start out with a good safety aware foundation to build your knowledge on. 😊👍🏻🦀🐚🌿

I love these videos!! I love how you don’t waste any part of the animal and if you don’t use it you explain why, you’re educating people on marine life and how to properly handle it as well as how to SUSTAINABLY catch and use marine life without damaging any ecosystems and habitats. You cover up the places which you didn’t find anything and throw back anything you don’t feel is suitable to use, so it can grow and be used again. I really appreciate people like you educating the masses on how to sustainability collect and harvest sea life without damaging the ecosystem. The world will thank you 💞

Gabriella Shankman - Thank you Gabriella. I am so glad to hear you share our philosophy and have picked up on the message and purpose of our videos.

[@gabby102602]

The Fish Locker thank you!! I hope more people can learn and protect these habitats as well! Even in your fishing videos you show how to do it sustainably and throw back any bycatch which you don’t intend to use. The fact that you are just as concerned about the environment as me and many others and you’re willing to do this shows real passion and dedication. It means everything to me as I’m sure it does to you as well. I hope you have a wonderful day as well and everything is well 💙✨🐠

[@suestoons]

@@TheFishLocker Three weeks later and the world is closing down because of the corona virus. What is totally baffling to me is how many online are complaining that they don't know what they're gonna do with their kids unexpectedly out of school for three weeks or more. [We just closed our schools for three weeks in our province]. I do not understand the dilemma. We would have celebrated an unexpected 3 weeks of kidlet being home. So many things to explore on our little plot of land, lots of free time to spend in the kitchen as we delve into different ways to cook out of the pantry, all the arts & crafts supplies waiting to be opened and big projects tackled, so many things to do. I was always surprised when Kidlet's friends would remark "my parents don't do stuff like this" after we spent an afternoon learning how to build different kinds of fires for cooking, heat, banking for overnight etc. It makes me sad to read "These kind of parent/child relationships are rare these days".

Fairplay to you john another great video channel still growing 🎣👍🏻

Dublin Angling - Thank you very much. Just sharing a day on the beach. You lads have some stunning coastline over your side. I’d love to see a similar video 👍🏻🐚🌿🦀

[@janicewhite1113]

just love what you do I live in NZ now so miss British beach foraging

[@TheFishLocker]

janice white - I would have thought the foraging potential of down your way would be better than here?

[@janicewhite1113]

The beaches in Northland have cockles oysters small clams no crabs not even much seaweed.

[@TheFishLocker]

janice white - That is a surprise. I thought you would be swarming with life. 🤷🏻‍♂️🐚🦀

What a shore line no breath of wind... to me John it is a perfect Kayak launching point

[@TheFishLocker]

- Its a little shallow, launching from the harbour would be a doddle. ;)

[@SpicyAngler]

The Fish Locker I’m still many many miles away ...

[@I.have.an.std.]

Wow great video do you think you could go on the boat and use crab pots if you look at Troy’s fishing you can find video to Make crab pots you could make them on the work shop channel👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TheFishLocker]

- If you look through there are already a 6 videos that include me hauling crab pots. 2 videos solely dedicated to hauling my homemade crab pots from the last 12 months... plus the “How to make a crab pot” video that’s already on the workshop channel 👍🏻

[@I.have.an.std.]
