First Haul of The FishLocker Lobster Pots 2024 | The Fish Locker

What will we catch in our first haul of the Fishlocker Lobster pots? We love working a small number of lobster pots from our small family boat. Such a wonderful and rewarding experience that often brings delicious rewards. Hauling our lobster traps by hand makes it all the more rewarding when you catch something to eat. Join me to check our pots and talk you through the things we catch. Teaching about the marine world and how to care for it - Including conservation regulations that are in place in Cornwall UK. Recently a thief has been operating in our local area and several fishermen pots have been going missing. We searched for them but they were nowhere to be seen.

A pox upon all who dare disturb John’s pots! As usual, its always a pleasure to watch a master ply his trade.

[@TheFishLocker]

Take care bud and all the best. 👍🏻🦞

[@mstrdiver]

@@TheFishLocker - John - have you gone back to the lobster hatchery to see how the large lobsters that you donated are doing? Those two were a massive breeding pair.

[@RageOfTheTiger]

Love to catch the person, and give them a bit of a toss against a garbage dumpster. This was a great haul though

[@disaster6721]

Been watching you for some time now, maybe around a year or so and I have to say, you sir, are a national treasure. It's people like you that keep the world spinning and that manage to inspire others with their genuine passion for what it is they do ! please keep that smile and never stop doing what you love ! :)

[@petermarcham8729]

I couldn't agree more. Great to see John back on the pots again this season.

[@TheFishLocker]

Thank you so very much.

[@stephenbull8962]

You have a great attitude John. To have a whole fleet of pots stolen and keep smiling speaks volumes. Thanks for another great video.

[@stuartlast8156]

Great first haul with a super result ! Shame about the scumbags robbing your gear, thanks for taking us all along 👍

Never seen you take a spider crab for the table before and I have always wanted to see one you would keep! Another great video, hope the family is well :)

[@TheFishLocker]

We have shown them in many older videos.

[@richardparkhouse9571]

i just love how polite you are to those lady lobsters 👍👍

[@IAmAnthonyMcCutcheon]

wicked video as ever, got to say i do love the catch/forage and cook videos but always top quality viewing.

Thank you.

[@wolfgangwodtke2375]

Thank you, another enjoyable show. Sorry about your loss. Thieves are becoming a problem in Canada too.

[@marksutton116]

Another great video John, and a brilliant bit of education. Can’t believe the thieving toe rags have been at it again. Looks like that beast of a lobster will feed the family well 😊

[@chrisbird5459]

Great to see pot season back John as as many have already said I’m really saddened by the theft thank you for another great vid

[@juliemanarin4127]

Wow nice catch!! Love your videos! My mom wSas fron Bedford England and ive been there once...I LOVED ENGLAND!

Best fishing show on KZbin!!

[@baileyboo9788]

Agree 👍

[@petermarcham8729]

Absolutely !

[@mikeburgess9617]

A whole string missing and one pot raided 😡 I imagine you'd welcome an opportunity to have a 'word' with those responsible. But pleased to see how well you coped (or kept hidden from the video when you realised the string had been nicked) and how good the rest of the haul was - specially that chunky lobster. I'll bet he tasted great 😋

[@phil7301]

" Cracking Lobster " !!! Nice to see you back on the pots John 😉👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@robertscholz4486]

I'm so glad that we are finally back to the pots ... that's always been my favorite episodes. You never know what is going to come up in the next pot! It really sucks that people go around stealing pots .. karma will come around and teach them a lesson!!!

Great video! Thanks for taking us along!

[@krisstewart4787]

I love seeing the blue on these lobsters. Absolutely beautiful.

😡😡Thieving scumbags! Always an education watching you fish even though I have spent my whole life practically beside/on the sea. Love the content John and hope you get the pots back 👍

[@stayspicy9456]

Just spent a week in Cornwall and took great pleasure in explaining to my daughter how the big stack of pots in the harbour worked when she asked. All thanks to watching your videos.

[@TheFishLocker]

Information and knowledge is much better when it can be shared. Well done mate and I hope you had a wonderful time in Cornwall. 😊🦀🦞

[@samshaw3657]

Amazing hearing how you guys are doing so much to help the ocean out!

[@Llama1077]

Those were some cracking hauls John! There ain't nothing worse than a thief!

A great video. Such a shame that there are those who don't subscribe to the values of honesty and integrity.

Makes me sick to think that fellow crab fisherman can do that to another , well done John see you at the next video

[@benradley4895]

Brilliant video as ever John 👍👍👍 Keep the good work up pal !

[@TheFishLocker]

Cheers Ben.

[@timothywilliams4089]

Another great vid John, reminds me of younger days living on the Gower in S Wales, potting most days. Just returned from a USA trip, and deep sea fishing off Ft Lauderdale, we caught a larger trigger fish, around 5lbs, and some yellow tailed snappers; gave the skipper a few bucks and he filleted the whole group catch of around 150 fish!. They said the trigger was a delicious fish and so it was, BBQ'd with little seasoning and a large salad, what an amazing flavour, sweet as a crab with large flakes of flesh. Grouper was not in season, and doctor fish and a Bermudan tout? were thrown back. Must return, what an experience. Good fishing to y'all.

[@TheFishLocker]

We have just got back from the US too. 😉

[@timothywilliams4089]

@@TheFishLocker Excellent,...loved all of it, and that sunshine!; did you fish at all? Although it was a charter boat, the crew and other fishermen/women were great, nothing too much trouble, happy days.

[@jjslifekitchen7619]

Good morning John. Loved the video as always. Appreciate the conservation, the lessons, and your temperance. It must be incredibly frustrating to experience the thieves. I know here in Maine....I wouldn't want to be that person.

[@TheFishLocker]

It is extremely frustrating. But karma catches up on folks.

[@donttuga9310]

Awesome haul, the pot hauls as well as the tide pool hunts you do are my favorites. Makes me jealous to live in the mountains instead of being at the coast. Keep up the good work, wish I was there!

[@avacadman2155]

The choice between Crab or Lobster..I pick Crab every time! 👍👍👍👍👍😀

[@TheFishLocker]

Depends on my mood

[@andym1908]

That's the first time I have ever seen you take a spider crab 🦀 😊

[@TheFishLocker]

We’ve taken loads in diving and foraging vids before mate.

[@Richard.357]

Excellent. Thanks again for taking us with you and sharing your valuable knowledge. Maybe design your own pots with green and red rope . Then everyone will know who's pinched them.

[@jessebrown1400]

Damned excellent process, Love it!, nothing gets wasted and basically farming the buggers. I love crab, a nice Crab Curry is like heaven.

[@beckyjackson7755]

Great hauls! Love that big male lobster!

[@KristianSloth]

I admire how calmly you handle having pots stolen! I would be furious and hell bent on catching the thief - but it would probably be a waste of energy.

[@ddeverea142]

I can't believe the season just started and you already had a whole line of pots stolen! I wonder if there's some way to tag them with a tracker.

[@TheFishLocker]

I wish it was that easy.

[@chippyminton8711]

Excellent as usual, great knowledge.

[@TheFishLocker]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@motorsnutts6594]

Well that’s a hell of a way to start the season John , fantastic crab and lobster haul , gave a breeding female a chance to breed again (most satisfying!) . It’s a shame that connecting 1000 volts to your pots isn’t an option bud ! appreciate your efforts as always 👍🏼👍🏼 Paul

Another cracking show John. Thanks.

[@ivorbexon4030]

Very interesting again John. Sorry to hear that you have been hit by the thefts of pots once again.

[@The1BlackKrow]

Good day John!!! Wonderful to see you out pulling pots again and on such a glorious day too. That's a sorry sod that took your pots and pulled your catch from the one pot. Wouldn't it be great if you could put a tracking device on your pots. Hope the Mrs's and the Best boy are doing well. Looking forward to some sea side meals with the family. Take care and have a great week.
