My first Free Dive of 2024 in Cornwall - Lobsters, Crabs, Scallops and fishing | The Fish Locker

[@TheFishLocker]

I’m really sorry for the slight delay. I was editing some footage for a short educational video and lost track of time. Don’t forget to subscribe to www.youtube.com/@thefishlockerworkshop so you don’t miss it. 😊🎣👍🏻

[@steelsilver4078]

Don't worry about it!! Your content is awesome whenever it appears!

[@kevinbuckler1085]

I’m sure we can forgive you 😂🎣🐟

[@homardsaraignee]

VERY VERY GOOD j adore😉😉

[@mstrdiver]

Oh look - it's the Dogfish whisperer. Even without putting a hook and bait in the water, you don't seem able to stay free of them even while free diving.

[@davemanton5774]

I forgot how beautiful some of our undersea areas are. Thanks for sharing. Hope you were on time to pick James's up and enjoyed your lobsters and scallops.

[@theslowwalkhome7314]

Seriously I think this channel is one of the best things on KZbin

[@Sapper-EOD]

You tube...The Fish Locker should be on the Discovery channel. Hugely educational but in a way that isn't condescending and that kids can also learn from watching. John is a natural in front of the camera. How do we petition the Discovery channel to getJohn and Fish Locker on there?

[@michaeledgerton5270]

Definitely 💯

[@TheFishLocker]

Thank you very much. I am glad that you think so. 😊🎣

[@lindahempel1666]

John. I absolutely love watching your channel. I enjoy watching your respectful, knowledgeable, and gentleness of how you return your catch to the sea. you aren't greedy with your hauls. Goodness the way some of the other youtubers rip things apart from their homes and if they aren't big enough they smack them back into the water not bothering to put them back gently into their homes, or the way they rip octapus off rocks they don't care if they rip off a tentacle or not, or gripping the razor clams out of their sand homes, so ruthless! Awesome job John!

[@TheFishLocker]

Haha. Linda. I think I know who you’re talking about. 🤣

[@TheDiverBob]

As a diver in the Pacific Northwest of America, these videos KILL ME! You are so lucky to have the viz you’ve got… very, very jealous!

[@benjaminrapp7418]

As an Ohioan, it's rare to find a body of water with visibility that isn't measured in inches. 😢

[@TheFishLocker]

The viz here has suffered terribly this spring due to the relentless storms. Usually April here has 20+ft of viz. This year my first dive was in May.

[@EsoxLVCIVS6776]

I do love the underwater videos. Hardest to make, edit and they never do as well with views but I love them.

After all your fab descriptions of sea weeds when foraging with James, it was great to see them fully immersed by the sea. Another fab video mate. 😊

Oh John, this is just magical. Thank you for sharing this! It feels like... all the times you taught us what to look for, we finally had a chance to sort of apply it, since you couldn't talk. There's something oddly moving about you showing us this side of Cornwall's ocean life. I could hear the crab shouting from here! "Oy! Put me down! Where are you taking me???!!!"

I just love your free diving vids. As an ex smoker of 40+ years I wouldn't be able to blow out a candle, so this is as close as I'll ever get and besides I'm in Aussie and just about everything in the water here is trying to cancel your ticket or eat you. Love your work, thank you.

@@TheFishLocker To Chester, where I was born :)

[@Breizhjean22]

It’s about time you got wet....it’s May! 😂..... i spent 3 and à half hours in yesterday.....spider crabs to 2,4kgs, my first bass of the year on the speargun and yes, doggies by hand. I hardly eat any meat so the sea feeds me. Spiders are so thick on the seabed, the lobsters tend to disappear and come back later. I find it interesting...your seabed there is différent to mine, more like the Pink Granite Coast further north from me. Hoping to dive there this year as there are more bass. In Brittany, you can’t pick up scallops whilst diving unless it corresponds with the official hours and days of the professionnel fisherman and you have to get out when the time is up. I see thousands of them....still nice to see. Your water is cold too, 12 + degrees on the other side and yet you are in the gulf stream. Hope to see more under water footage soon.😊
