Seeing the fish on the fishfinder makes perfect sense to me from my experience in freshwater river fishing. They're hanging back low in the slack water watching the faster flow overhead. Conserving energy until they see a food item pass over and then rush out and grab it. Awesome content as always John.

[@maxwilliam56]

Great sport, John. I've been using the same Sidewinder casting jigs plus Savages Gear ones, quite similar. I've been changing the trebles out for inline 2.0 and 3.0 lure hook singles, Mustad and Savage Gear. Also increased the front single by a size or two. Thanks for the video, mate.

[@TheFishLocker]

I keep the trebles on the tail as they bend out from snags, singles have a heavier gauge and I lose more lures that way.

[@thursbmx]

Another great day John, educational entertainment for any fishing enthusiast. Its funny how you fish using a 30Gm lure to catch a 5 lb fish. Mixing metric with imperial is common but generally why is a fish's weight referred to in lbs and not in Kilograms?

[@TheFishLocker]

I use both metric and imperial constantly. Haha. But I say “30g lure” because that is what it says on the packet. If it said 1oz lure I would say that.

I know this might seem quite a random question John, but have you ever had any freak tackle failures such as rods snapping for no good reason or a reel shitting its gears all of a sudden. I ask because I think I must have upset Perseidon at some point because I have so much bad luck. 😂 When kit works l normally always catch but when I have a nightmare it's always drastic. Another great video pal, nice one. Love the pictures of the sonar.👊👍😊

[@TheFishLocker]

No mate. All of my tackle failures are for reasons. I snapped a rod one time on a skate. The rod was outclassed massively. Snapped another in a car door. One more I fell over on top of. Never just a random failure.

[@bentea4776]

Great vid with plenty of information. Have you thought of putting a single hook or assist hook on the bottom of the jig? I've found that they stay connected better than the trebles also less snags. Loving the content all the way from Gold Coast Australia

[@TheFishLocker]

The trebles hold a fish but bend out when snagged in the seabed. So you lose less lures to snags.

So good to see you let so many go and only take what you need. Is there a limit on the number of Pollock you can take?

[@TheFishLocker]

There is no legal limit. Just my own moral one.

[@kme]

My dad goes out fishing with his buddies on the lakes and the Fraser river where they live (central BC, in Canada) and tho I'm not sure what the official rules are, but his rule has always been you only take what you're going to eat that day. He used to take us kids out, tho I only ever caught 1 trout myself. Wrt to his hunting, he's kind of the opposite, where he got what he could legally, to fill up the freezer for the season. His hunting days are long over, but he's still out there fishing up a storm. I wonder if he'd ever come back out this way to do a bit of sea fishing in the family's old stomping grounds. (my dad's family are from Penzance; he's related to half the phone book there, he says lol)

I was sitting here scratching my head, "how the hell does he keep a 25g lure on the bottom at +2kn" I cant manage to keep a bait down at 45m in ½kn drift with 300g lead. Then it struck me, your drift is caused by current, mine is caused by wind, relative speeds mater 😁 The few times i have drifted in zero wind it works ok but then it takes me an hour or so to go a 100m. We have almost no tidal differences, hence no current. So i guess to day i learn't something from you, again 👍

[@labtrainer09]

Hi, John. Thanks for taking us along on another productive inshore-jigging trip. One question: When you were fishing the first reef (the one with the rough tidal rip), you lost quite a few pollock because of, you explained, the small treble at the "tail" of the jig. Did you ever consider replacing that hook with a single-perhaps of approximately the same size as the assist hooks at the "head" of the jig? Just curious. Best, Chris (Maine, USA)

[@TheFishLocker]

The reason why I prefer keeping the light treble is because if you snag on the reef, the hooks bend out and you don’t lose the lure. 😉

[@labtrainer09]

@@TheFishLocker That makes perfect sense! Thanks for replying, John.

[@kevinallen9009]

Excellent video. I’m not too informed regarding the species you are catching. Was wondering if the mackerel you catch are Spanish mackerel, the same as I have caught in Florida? Also an observation on the pollack. The distance from the mouth to the vent on that fish is very short in proportion to its overall length which would seem to lead to excellent volume fillets with good meat from the vent to the tail. In some species this is not the case. Thanks!

[@TheFishLocker]

Excellent observation. Their belly cavity does however extend a small distance past it. However they fo yeild great fillets of meat.

Hello! I’ve asked a couple times, not sure you’ve seen the question. If you’re out with a commercial fisherman and he gifts you some of the catch, do you still have to follow rules of non commercial catch limit? Or are you allowed to take as much as they give you? Thanks John!!
