Hi John, I have done a couple of mullet videos. There are a couple on the channel. Just search “Fishlocker Mullet fishing”

Really great show you put on John, with the Pollock. I would have thought you would at least bring one home so we could see your wife prepare a proper basket of beer battered fish and chips! I'm guessing the seals spot you on the shore and know that you will catch them a free lunch? Great video, and I enjoy them all. You are a great family man. I'm in land locked Oklahoma USA.

What a fantastic day you had mate. Seemed like you couldn't miss. Good to know that biggish fish can be caught so close to the shore. I guess it's all about knowing the best marks. Hard to find the best ones but I need to do more discovering of my own. From what I've heard so far though, the best marks are in mostly dangerous areas.We are experiencing fires at the moment and I'm a tad distracted form how things are going down the coast. Our next camping day was not far away but will probably have to cancel it because of the air quality. There is a strong smell of burning outside and there's a haze with visibility down to maybe half a kl . Still, a fire would not stop me watching your videos. Looking forward to the next one John. Have a great day.

Great video as always! Would it be possible to do a video on how to find good shore fishing spots. Maybe using Google maps or things to look out for in general. I live well inland but I like to go fishing when i am by the coast, but I always end up having to fish on really busy piers or harbours because I can't find any good shore marks. Thank you 🙂👍

[@TheFishLocker]

seancoates92 - This is something I have talked about quite a bit with folks in the comments. I can’t really do a video as there are a lot of people that don’t like the sharing of marks. And if I fully publicise then over the internet theyd be ruined. At the end of the day it’s all done by good old fashioned research and leg work. Sometimes they turn out to be crap. Other times and they’re incredible. Just searching navionics or online forums and google maps. Then the getting out and fishing them. 👍🏻🎣

What great action! Nice vid. John Glad to see you wearing a life jacket too. That swell looks mental

[@TheFishLocker]

Karl Stokes - Thanks Karl. Yes it was a blinder of a session and you’re right. It’s not a mark to treat lightly. Whirlpools and slippy rocks so a PFD is a must in my opinion. Sensible actions and common sense keep you dry and out of danger. 😉👍🏻🎣

[@oths1234]

Great session with lots of action. Nice catch & release lesson for those new to the sport. I have to ask though...why no net? Wouldn't it have been safer and easier on the gear...and the fish? Not being critical, just curious :-)

[@TheFishLocker]

Eric G - We had to cover some pretty intense terrain to reach the mark so were travelling light. Also, some of the spots you would need a 14ft pole on it. For the majority of the fish it’s just not practical. But good question. 😉🎣👍🏻

[@reiverone]

Excellent watch John, wherever that is, it has a fabulous amount of hard fighting Pollock, and not at all surprised it's kept close to you and your friends.

I explain in the video. 😉

[@rcecil88]

That’s some quality fishing! I’ve a mark I fish here in Northern Ireland and when it’s fishing well with the right tides it’s non stop!

[@TheFishLocker]

robert cecil - Those marks are pure gold aren’t they!! 👍🏻😊🎣

[@daniellarmour3521]

robert cecil port muck on islandmagee and garron point in red bay are great spots. Both have great pollock and garron point will throw up a few conger and Huss.

What rod are you using? Cheers

[@TheFishLocker]

Everything is linked in the video descriptions

[@abdul-hadidadkhah1459]

@@TheFishLocker all I can see is links to two sidewinders and a spinner. Nothing about rod or reel like you normally do. Want something to throw smaller lures and have a whip on it.

[@theusurper5142]

Yeah it doesnt say in the description and I'm interested to know as it does look like the ideal rod.

[@TheFishLocker]

@@abdul-hadidadkhah1459 - Sorry about that, I have just checked and it was an Izu, I’ve removed the link as they’re now discontinued. This is what I’m using now. Penn Conflict Inshore 30g - bit.ly/38sx1C7

[@abdul-hadidadkhah1459]

@@TheFishLocker I appreciate that, thanks for getting back. I was looking at Nomura as they do 8ft ones which is a bit more practical for rock marks than an 9 or 10 footer.

After watching your videos, I have started shore fishing on lures. I live in Wiltshire so trips are infrequent, but we are a family of foragers and spend many a day collecting food. You have a knack fishing and your demeanour is infectious, a credit to the sport too. This was really just to say thanks, but somehow thanks doesn't seem enough 🤷🏻‍♂️ great stuff 🙏🏻

[@TheFishLocker]

Have you had a look at The Saltwater Angler? He does a lot of shore fishing for bass further down the coast. He has lots of good tips to share. 😉👍🏻

[@Lmc88y]

Where is this location?

[@TheFishLocker]

We do not reveal the locations of our videos.

[@Lmc88y]

@@TheFishLocker damn, OK, keep up the good work though 👍 awesome videos

[@PecheurAnglais]

@@Lmc88y If locations are revealed, they get overfished. However, there are many, many places to fish for pollack. Just look for a rocky shoreline with deepwater. Google earth and Navionics are your friends with this. Then get out and fish! Tight lines

[@randysacora3684]

I really enjoy your videos but the ones that I enjoy most are your catch and Cooks

Your channel has taught me so much about boat angling thank you so much for sharing I mainly fish the off beaches and rock marks but take a rib out from time to time thanks again keep up the great work

[@gatsby4985]

John many thanks for your great videos (editing) and the knowledge you shared with us throughout 2019. Highlight for me were those two tuna you caught and released, unbelievable! Wishing you, your good lady and Fish Locker junior a very Merry Christmas and a great 2020. Junior will be wanting his own boat soon 😂🚤🎣🎅🏻⚓️🎄🎥🐟🎣

[@TheFishLocker]

- It has been my absolute pleasure to be able to share my passion with you all. I have a few highlights. Some incredible sessions - a few PB's and a few new species even. I have loved it all. I can only hope 2020 has half as many good fish. :D

Another great video. I've not thought about lure fishing but after watching your video I'm buying a couple of packs and will give them a go either off the pier or on rocks (if they have rocks in the Eastbourne area. As always you are Inspirational!

[@TheFishLocker]

David Bainbridge - I have tried almost ever soft plastic in the sidewinder range now and they have some amazing stuff. As I say, skerries for shallow and upper water stuff and the heavier ones for deeper lure fishing. All nail it!!!

Your the man John 👌 some fantastic pollock , well done

what a great video, i'm just heading to bed then up at 5am for a 3hr drive to somewhere on the scottish west coast 🤫 for a 9 hr session with pollack, the deep mark i fish does very well at low tide as it turns and starts to come in. Your fish were pristine and in great condition, lovely looking mark that one 👍

[@TheFishLocker]

Good luck John. If you send us a PM on the Fishlocker Fb page we can maybe share info of the area. 😉
