I'm in Mevagissey for 10 days from next Saturday after Wrasse , Bass and Pollack, SWMBO is fishing as well, she loves the videos and is watching your tutorials in order to learn how to do stuff, we've binge watched most of your videos now as well.. Love the content , it's by far the best out there. I just hope I catch something of a decent size now. :)

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 😂

[@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.

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

[@TheFishLocker]

It’s my pleasure, I hope our videos are interesting and helpful to you. 👍🏻🎣

[@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. 😊

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!!

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.

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

Great video John matey. Very informative for all fishermen no mater what experience. My Dad always say's If you can't learn something from everything then you can't learn at all. Love to the family buddy as always.

All came out beautifully. Great video, and thanks for introducing me to that nav app, very interesting to have a quick look at it and see the different pier depths around Port Phillip Bay
