Sea Fishing UK - Exploring a new area searching for fish *UNDERWATER FOOTAGE* | The Fish Locker

Sea fishing on the Cornwall coast can offer some wonderful species to catch if you adapt what you are doing. This time of year you really have to make the most of any opportunity you can. Here I explore an area of reef I have wanted to fish for a while and try to find some shelter from the wind and swell. Trying to dodge the bad weather squalls I catch some nice fish and record some incredible underwater footage.
Don't forget to check out our sister channel ‪@thefishlockerworkshop‬ for helpful reviews and videos.
Here are links to some of the fishing tackle I used in this video. I hope it helps.

[@garybutler-holmes782]

Hello John, this is the first time I have messaged you while I watch your video presentations on KZbin. I subscribed to your channel and bought myself a hoodie for when I recover from surgery and get back to fishing. You probably remember my Son, Matt Holmes, he has been telling you and probably sent a few pictures of the huge stingrays, Angel sharks and butterfly rays that we caught together in November. I have been fishing Fuerteventura for over six years now, sometimes three times a year but my failing health and a promise to my son that I would take him got dashed because of lockdown we finally got to go along with a friend of mine last November. The island offers some amazing fishing. If you get a chance, go to Lobos island, the spinning is amazing from the shore as well as the north end of the island of Fuerteventura. I also recommend you try spinning out by the electric wind turbine near Corralejo, you catch some massive, snapper, dorado, barracuda and other species of predictor fish. The best bait I can recommend is fresh or live cuttlefish, squid or mackerel which you can catch fresh depending on the time of the year when they are more plentiful than others. The local Hyper Dino do have a good wet fish counter for fresh bait as the tackle shops don’t keep it when I tried to purchase it. You will need to purchase a rod license to fish in the sea, don’t buy it on line for an extortionate price when you can get it from the town hall in Corralejo. It’s a bit of faffing around because you have to fill in the paperwork at the office, they give you a piece of paper which you have to then walk to the bank to pay it then take the receipt back to the town hall and they issue you will a three year license for just under €15 which was how much my last license cost even though I have never been asked to produce it. Compared to €58 online, it’s a big saving. I don’t know how much Matt has told you about the island because I didn’t get to take him to a lot of the really good fishing places because dvla have my driving license which I needed to rent the hire car so my friend Nick had to drive us wherever we we went fishing but he likes a drink so we didn’t drive to any of the good places because he moaned that it wasn’t fair that we could have a drink but he couldn’t because he had to drive plus he was a pussy when it came to catching big fish. After he landed a stingray which wasn’t that big in all fairness, 50lbs, which is a little one, lol the big ones are 200lbs plus. I got broken off after two hours of playing one fish which took me round a boat mooring. If you want to know anything, regarding your trip next month, I can probably fill you in on any information you might want, best wishes, yours sincerely Gary Holmes

[@TheFishLocker]

Gary I would bloody love to pick your brains and make some notes. Can you please send me a PM to the Fishlocker Fb page or Instagram. It’s less public than on here 👍🏻

[@PilzE.]

Love the underwater footage, great to see the fish doing their do, instead of only ever seeing a rod tip quiver, or float go under. The weather is stinking, isn't it? We went to St Agnes this afternoon, oh my God, what an amazing, awesome, beautiful place, and got caught in a squall. One minute it was fine, the next the wind was howling, throwing stinging rain at us. Then, 5 minutes later, it had passed and was fine again. Didn't matter though, that place seriously took all our breaths away. Me and the boys had to pretty much the drag their mum back into the car, she just would not stop taking photos! Cornwall is AWESOME! 😍

In WW2 my maternal grandfather was a security officer on the Bincleaves breakwater of Portland harbour, at night he put out long lines with whatever bait he could acquire, but he fed his family through the war on conger eels especially when protein was in short supply, but he also traded it on the black market for other products. Basically they are just large eels with some lateral pin bones that need to be removed. Your Cornish neighbour Gordon Ramsey did a program about eating conger eels which you can search on KZbin You just need to know how to cook them

[@homer1033]

I can understand where you coming from because of the weather lol, but if I had a lovely boat like yours I'd want to fish every minute I could even If they were small, But yes great underwater footage and some lovely fish specially the Eel.

[@TheFishLocker]

Believe me I fish every moment that is possible. 🤣

[@cassopsnoxdigger614]

what a fantastic video John...the view underwater is fantastic, & as you say it really is a busy place the sea bed, enjoyed immensely, appreciate all your hard work, as for the camera issues...i got a weather proof / waterproof clear plastic housing for my camera ! & had zero problems with it and im'e out all weather detecting and they are available for go-pro's...ya just have to remember to wipe the lense before ya record...only downside is a slight drop in volume level ..but that's easy fixed with whatever video programme you use, all the best to you n yours...take care, GL&HH Gordon.

You cannot have waterproof and a microphone. You have one or the other. Waterproof. Or good audio.

[@cassopsnoxdigger614]

@@TheFishLocker the microphone is built into the camera...and the camera is fully encased and waterproof ! i use a YI GO PRO Style camera...the cases are available to buy on amazon !

[@andrewratcliffe6425]

I would absolutely love to join you for a day out John. I was wondering whether you offer that kind of day trip out...? Brilliant content and your knowledge shines through once again. Stay safe out there buddy.

[@TheFishLocker]

Pm the Fb page.

[@monte6054]

It looks as tho You caught a nice day. Thank You very much for sharing this and other similar adventures with me.

[@TheFishLocker]

It is our pleasure. 😊👍🏻

[@nobbyraven]

Superb John! Just love watching your very informative vids, even on those wind, sun and rain days. You're gunna be the Attenborough of Cornwall if you're not careful! Tight lines mate, big thumbs up and cheers to you and the family. 👍

[@TheFishLocker]

We are simply sharing what we know and love doing. 😊🐟🦀

[@stucook8622]

Thanks for the video. I think that's the first big dark eel I've seen you catch. It was a nice one.🔱

[@TheFishLocker]

We usually catch them in deeper water. They’re dark when they live in shallow rocky areas.

[@likarsa]

Great video as always, thank you for giving us something to watch, on this rainy days. Did you ever think about getting a trolling motor with anchor lock option? It would save you a lot of time and energy. Best regards and keep up the good work!

[@TheFishLocker]

Recently I have given it more and more thought.

[@DrVimto]

those wrasse from this and previous videos, has some lovely colours to them.

[@TheFishLocker]

Stunners aren’t they. 😊👍🏻

[@DrVimto]

@@TheFishLocker i reckon wrasse must have crossbred in the past, which gives it the varied colours.. oneday i hope to try get upto whitby to see what fish i can land off the land.. if there arent too many in a specific spot.

[@dizzybee7386]

Another great video in much colder weather, by the looks. That double at the end 👌Thanks as always for your efforts!

[@TheFishLocker]

It is my pleasure.

[@John_Hemingway]

The start of this video was the first time you've looked really cold in a while, that wind sounded brutal 🥶 that was a unit of a conger, nice bream and a few cuckoo wrasse fair play mate, Underwater footage was fantastic, don't know why but it's so fascinating seeing what the fish are getting up too, as someone who fishes from the shore and hasn't done any diving it's hard to picture what's going on down there.

[@TheFishLocker]

I really love the underwater stuff. It’s my favourite of all the footage I think. I was cold mate. And I didn’t like it. 😫🤣🥶

[@AnyKeyLady]

The wind is my foe. Love that underwater footage! A lot calmer currents than the last video!

[@TheFishLocker]

Yes the wind has been ruining things lately. I love the underwater footage.

[@Bigjohn9181]

Fairdos john your a great seaman I wouldn't have a bloody clue lol best wishes buddy 👍 😎

[@TheFishLocker]

It’s all simple stuff mate. Just takes a while to learn. 😊👍🏻
