Do you have anything on setting the drag on your fixed spool John?

[@welshhibby]

I fished a lot when I was kid, with my dad and his work mates back in the 80's. Going to get back into it this year, your videos have helped !

Good luck mate. There are also some videos that might help you on the Fishlocker workshop channel. 👍🏻🎣

KZbin is the only social media I do, The others are becoming too controversial. You youtubers with your informational channels and old movies and TV shows are the only reason I’ve stayed this long. You are worth it many times over.👍

[@jontoasland6336]

John , its good to see you are wearing a crew saver vest . You must be the 1st KZbinr ive seen wearing one whilst shore fishing . Safety is paramount when fishing from shore or boat because you never know when that freak wave is going to hit you .

[@TheFishLocker]

Thats the main thing isn't it Jon. I understand that there may be a lot of younger anglers also watching these videos so feel it is important not only to show them a good example but also to normalise it for them. Safety first. 😉

you purposely made a birds nest just to show everyone how to deal with them... this is dedication!

rare to find people that share like this. Where I lived one time in my life (Washington State USA) I LOVED people going golfing... less competition fishing! Hawaii on the other hand is one of the FREEEST (is that a word?) places on earth NO fishing license needed. You buy a boat, a fishing pole you catch a marlin, tuna, Mahi Mahi menpachi Ono, etc etc what a wonderful place, with people who LOVE YOU! Just be NORMAL, okay? you have a small boat, they have a small boat. Yo have a beer they have a beer. It is LIFE that is fishing. Thank YOU!

[@duanekennard3298]

Cheers mate! I enjoyed the video.I believe it's the way you go in-depth but not overly explain things in your videos that is the key to keep people excited about watching. When KZbin first came out I was going to do basically what you do. With 50 plus years of fishing...whether it be recreational...charter or commercial no matter where i go to fish I always take the time to show someone that is new to fishing certain tips to catching more fish. Even when you showed and demonstrated the good old 'Birds nest' I actually demonstrate to our fishing charter guests how to avoid getting them on the way out to the ocean. Most people have never fished a Penn 4/0 before so a little knowledge goes a long way.And of course I explain how to properly set the hook when fishing with circle hooks.(Only took me about 2 years to get proficient with them since I have always been a 'Set the hook' fisherman.) Anyways mate...Finally tomorrow we will have our first charter in the ocean of the year.Thank the Lord ! Being landlocked drives me crazy.lol And we typically run about 250 to 300 trips a year. Well...with that being said...I'm off to get ready for tomorrow. Tight lines and calm seas to you ! From your friend on the other side of the pond.

[@TheFishLocker]

It is a very fine line between giving enough information and making the subject matter unrelatable isn't it. I have always been the type of person who wished to share with someone rather than watch them feel. So it's good to hear that you are too. Good luck on your charter and tight lines. 😊

I found your channel during lockdwn , work for the NHS and was advised to shield.. lots of different emotions and feelings about that time , but your passion and knowledge of the coast was a welcome escape from everything.. After a chance family holiday to Norfolk and chance encounter of a beach caster I got to put some of that knowledge into practice, bagged a 5 lb sea bass and watched many a sun rise n set ... It’s been hard at work ... lost Two college’s Graham and Libby .. Both genuinely decent blokes Sir captain Moore passed yesterday at our hospital... RIP Keep em coming fella 👍🏼

Need to get me one of those rig winders. Spending too much time untangling rigs and yanking hooks out of my hide. P.S., here in the States we generally refer to the stationary spool type as "spinning reels" and the multipliers as "baitcasters or baitcasting reels." I just call 'em "bird nesting reels," since I share your talent at producing them 😁

Hi. This coment made me pause for thought. Is boat fishing better than shore or do you mean course fishing. I love boat fishing because i get to empty my pots and go for a very scenic ride tgen fish. Better than that is shore and pier fishing with our older fishermen. I go just to talk . Catching fish is a bonus. Course fishing is not for me

Brilliant video as always. Another tip for the multiplier is put your leader knot at one side of the reel and then when you cast out your thumb on the other side, stops any cuts you might get from the knot. However I'm definitely with you on fixed spools, so much more convenient than a multiplier

@@TheFishLocker do you know any good fishing spots in north devon I've only been here a couple yrs not had any time to do much fishing yet... shore and deeper water would be great, Been fishing for about 30 years and still useless at it lol Really need to rewatch some of your vids as I'm using wrong traces and wrong baits and wrong fishing times weather etc Turn up and hope for the best me! Going to turn that around now though its embarrassing... fed up of saying I didnt catch when asked and I think the missus is on to me saying I only go to get away from her haha
