Matt Webster - You’ll see in all of my videos 95% of the fish go back - and all of the bass. This is the sport that I absolutely love and not only do I want to help people get into it. But encourage them to look after it. I hope you are enjoying the videos and finding them useful. 👍🏻

My late husband, Rocky, used to love fishing. He's the person who taught me to fish. He was a lot of fun to watch fish as well. He could be such a clown when he was fishing. You could clearly see how much he loved it.

Brilliant commentary as always John. Great video showing your love of what you do, your brilliant understanding of what you are doing & why you do it this way or that way. Your understanding of how to care for the various fish that you catch, letting them relax in a tub of water if needed before releasing them. Very relaxing yet extremely informative video. Thanks John, regards to your family & until I catch another late video, cheers, Don from South Aust.

That's the peril of big Huss fishing, you work your nuts off to get it to the boat, and it ruins your day by spitting the hook. But so what, we get straight back down there looking for the next one.

[@timgrenville-cleave536]

Hi John, Yet another brilliant video ... I note your 'conversion' to circle hooks and that now you won't go back to the 'J' form. What about your beach rigs like Pennel's for example? I have seen folks use a J for the lower and a circle for the upper? Views??

[@TheFishLocker]

Tim Grenville-Cleave - if they work then good on them. The only possible issue there may be is circles are meant to be fished in a certain way. The hook won’t find a hold until you set it. If they’re using a circle for the top hook it’s likely the lower J will already be in the fishes mouth. I sometimes use Chinus for my top hook. Good strong gauge, wide gape and great for hookups.

[@kevinbeesley2489]

Boy never been sea fishing. I'm a coarse angler 60 years+ but carp are all we get around here, boring tbh. I would love to do some sea fishing and you are so lucky to be in Cornwall. Good luck and god bless.

[@jonathansundh5626]

heard you mentioned poppers, do you catch alot of colies, pollock and bass in deeper water? Have heard of people using them for bass in shallow but not over free water.

[@TheFishLocker]

- At certain times of year when there is a lot of baitfish high in the water they can be great, but we don't get a lot of Coalie, and the Pollack and Bass are usually on the reefs.

[@georgeh158]

Great videos. On the live bait rigs you use what's your reason for "locking the lead" rather than just have a free sliding ball weight? All the best

[@TheFishLocker]

George Hunton - a few reasons mate. I cover them in various vids but basically by locking in the lead it means the lead cannot slide back up the mainline for whatever reason. Either when lowering down or if a fish swims upwards with the livebait etc. Meaning you stay in good contact with the livebait and ultimately - the predator fish on that’s eaten it. It helps prevent it spinning and getting twisted up and I know that no matter what’s happened on the way down that bait is 3 feet from the lead. So if the lead is 5ft off the bottom the fish is between 2-8ft from the seabed. It can also work as a bolt rig and help with self hooking. 😉 I hope that answers your question. 👍🏻🎣

[@georgeh158]

@@TheFishLocker it does. That all makes sense now. I always thought the sliding weight would give the bait more freedom and therefore a better presentation but I can see what you mean. The Mackerel might just tangle up the line and not be presented well at all. Il try it out in future.

[@TheFishLocker]

George Hunton - The key is staying in good contact with the bait so you know what happening. Fish will even hit a dead mackerel. 😉

Id that slow jig like a pirk??

[@TheFishLocker]

Glenn Mcloughlin - No mate, they are specially shaped so they flutter in the water. Google butterfly jig of slow fall jig. 😉👍🏻🎣

Glenn Mcloughlin - In the right conditions they are deadly. 👍🏻🎣

[@technicstim]

something clipped its tail ?

[@TheFishLocker]

tim newcombe - I’ve seen this a few times with fish living in and around the shoreline. Usually wrasse. If I remember right it didn’t look to be a predator type wound. More of a rub/scrape?

[@TheAudiostud]

We put back the Bass and the #*+€}¥$ Russian trawlers scoop the up b the ton, that would have severed you well

[@TheFishLocker]

TheAudiostud - I know I know. If you think about it too much it just gets you angry. I love my fish and my fishing so I try to fish conscientiously. We can only hope that something happens soon that changes the legislation. 🤷🏻‍♂️😊🎣
