My favourite channel on KZbin, you don't know what a life saver to me you and Fish Locker family have become. I had an accident 9 weeks ago and remain in hospital, so when it's tough for me, you are a real comfort to watch, the St Michaels Mount video was a blessing. x

[@davidb.7093]

Never ever stop learning from your videos, from the programmes you use to locate areas to fish to the amount of prep you do. You also demonstrate the type of rigs you use and then go further by catching two of the most beautifully coloured wrasse I've ever seen. Great filming and as always thanks for posting.

That's a great little mark. Good shout on the random wave thing. Father got 4 stitches in his leg at that exact mark after getting washed off back into a gully shore side. I was just a teenager then. First time I ever heard mother swear at Dad 😂

[@nodiggity9472]

I love the care you take when unhooking and returning fish. Also nipping down your barbs and replacing trebles with single hooks where practical. It's not only kinder on the fish, but easier to unhook them. And if you've ever stuck yourself with a barbed hook, easier to unhook yourself too.

[@TheFishLocker]

- Absolutely. Just because we can take these fish for the table does not mean we shouldn't show them respect and compassion. 😊

[@porteouz]

Absolutely fantastic, I have never seen a video with so much detail on how to find fishing spots.

[@dianehall5345]

Good morning from our farm in New Hampshire. Thanks for this video. New Hampshire has 13 miles of Atlantic coastline. There is some good fishing. The Bluefish run rich along the shoreline, but I refuse to fish for anything that requires a steel leader. I'm a girl and an artist. The thought of wounding fingers is forefront. So my friends share their Bluefish catch with me. Not everyone likes it. I will partake if the fish is fresher than two days and has that dark strip removed. Then its on the grille and brilliant! Same for mackerel. I used to enjoy grilled shark, but we no longer eat shark or any dense fish ( mercury) So yellow fin or small tuna is ok for me. We enjoyed all fish when I was young. My Gram would go to the fish market and purchase a 10lb whole Haddock to bake. Also a good amount of lovely shucked oysters for oyster stew. Thanks again for taking us along for shore fishing! We live in the Central Lakes Region, less than two hours from the 🌊 ocean. We shut down our 350 acre farm in March 2020 to the public because of the virus and continue to be shut down, only open for customers > Hereford breeding stock > hay > logging. My Jim & I bought a small camper last summer and actually made it to the beaches ⛵⛵ in Rye/Portsmouth and North Hampton for ran overnight. It was balmy late September and wonderful! If you have an email address I would be happy to send you photos of our farm and coastline. ~ Diane

[@TheFishLocker]

Hi Diane, that sounds very sensible regarding the Bluefish. A 10lb Haddock!!!!!! Wow. I have never seen one that big, the biggest I have ever caught was 5lb. I would love the opportunity to own some acreage. Here in the Uk though plain arable of wooded land goes for around £18,000 an acre. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@dianehall5345]

Yes, grilled fresh Bluefish is amazing! I also like smoked Bluefish. I struggled with the cost of living in the UK. By far, land is more reasonable here, depending where you look. Maine has a vast coastline and is a wonderful state. I would be looking there if I wanted to be near the ocean. Lots and lots of lobstermen!

Totally agree about them hitting soft plastics as an act of aggression more than an actual bite. Exactly the same here in Oz, but I sometimes muck about with small soft plastics on our rock marks and catch wrasse in the same manner.

[@TheFishLocker]

- Awesome fun isn't it. Do you struggle with Trigger and Puffer fish smashing the lures in Oz?

[@carlgustafson4982]

@@TheFishLocker we get hammered by toadies, (a type of small puffer), when bait fishing in shallow, and triggers, (leather jackets), just destroy soft plastics if they're around. Can be very frustrating.

[@shorefishingessex]

The wrasse were special John, the colours even more so, I like the idea of putting lures into individual tubes as it prevents a treble hook nightmare, in the past I've hooked them on the inside of a bucket but as you say if it falls over you have lures all over the place, I'll have to come round to your way of doing things for a simpler life!! I use the I-Boating site for my recce homework which is similar to the Navionics chart viewer, I think they're indispensable for finding depths & potential places to fish, as ever great work!!

Greetings from Switzerland. Love your channel. Haven’t done much sea fishing in the last 15 years; my beach casting gear is 30 years old; ABU 6500 etc etc. Like you, I call lure fishing “spinning” . About 10 years ago I invested in some Japanese lures, a Daiwa Certate 3000 and some new lure rods. I prefer my old 11ft Daiwa spinning rod, Shimano bait runner 5000, J13s and Chug Bugs! Soft plastics are new to me. Thanks for the tips. Hopefully next year, I can wet a line in the salt. In the meantime, it’s alpine streams for trout. Tight lines

Another really great educational video showing how important it is to fish in the right place. . I did most of my sea fishing in the early 1960s.

- Haha. No mate, these cost me about £5 from the local garden centre. I end up wearing the treads out I wear them so often. We grew up in wellies out in the woods or on the beach. 😊

[@alanmcdonald4423]

@@TheFishLocker Thanks. I buy cheap Portuguese made ones. I cannot see the point in paying a lot of money for any sort of wellie when you know you are going to wear them out in a matter of months. A little story - I have heard they were invented in Portugal. The Battle of Buçaco was the first time Napoleon's troops were beaten in Iberia. Rumour has it that Wellington had our lads kitted out with his own type of "wellie" whilst the French had the usual boots. It is very damp and slippery on the slopes around Buçaco.

Thank you for sharing how you find your fishing marks. Those wrasse were beautiful fish. Thank you for the video as always great fishing. Tight lines my friend and all the best to you and your family from Oklahoma.

- It is my pleasure Brian. Best wishes sir. 😊

[@maxwilliam56]

Well done, John, that Navionics site is brilliant. Those wrasse would have put up a great fight on that tackle too.

[@TheFishLocker]

- Thanks Max, I hope the video is helpful for folks. 😊

Ah some nice relaxing fishing to watch after a stressful day

Great video as always, unfortunately wrasse stocks are facing a grim future. Here in Ireland in the last 4 years 1.6 million wrasse have being caught from a couple of areas on the west coast to be used as cleaner fish in commercial salmon farms. Scottish salmon farms are going through their stocks and now taking wrasse from the south west of England. In Norway they go through 10 million “cleaner fish a year” (lumpfish and wrasse) and wrasse stocks have collapsed in parts of Norway

[@TheFishLocker]

- This was a problem but it isn't allowed any more here. They are making a recovery.

[@davidgreene6390]

@@TheFishLocker Glad to hear it 👍 the west coast of Ireland has some great wrasse fishing, hopefully the stocks here will be given some protection before it’s too late

Superb tips John, thanks very much! I caught a Specimen Ballan Wrasse just like the first one you landed in Pembrokeshire more than 30 years ago from the boat strangely while pirking - It was 6 lb 5 oz which I weighed and returned unharmed. Nearly ripped my arms off bullying it up out of the kelp. Best scrap ever! Keep at it mate, great to watch! 👍

I love your channel and TA fishing, you and the guy from TA work hard at putting out excellent fishing and forging videos, I’d love to go fishing with either one of you , but I just found a KZbin channel and the man catches a lot of fish , but I would never take him up on an offer to go fishing , all’s I’ll say is he goes the extra mile, Gudio’s land based Fishing adventures , this Aussie is something else, you and yours stay safe
