John, another fantastic video. Thank you. For every good guy out there, pond life will appear trying to take advantage, people who are jealous or just greedy and crooked. In a small community like yours there will always be the usual suspects and probably known. I can't believe any big commercial boat would risk prosecution lifting and stealing both the contents and the pots of a small recreational fisherman. Your patience is remarkable. By colouring your pots you have made a step. You could insert identifying labels inside the tubular structure of new pots and weld your name onto the mdpe tubes too. Anything to make them unique. Unfortunately people like this are more likely to lift these pots, steal the contents regardless of size and either dump them overboard unroped or burn them onshore....too big a risk to be caught using easily identified pots from another boat. What a World we live in. I'd be terribly tempted to spend next year laying strings of concrete blocks using the oldest rope I had. Waste their time. They'd never know after the first three blocks whether you had three pots after, then another three blocks :-)

Thoroughly enjoyed that again with some top bonus footage. 7 Different Videos in one! It was great to see that float just siting off that obstruction just urging it to go down..Neatly hooked Fish too and reminding me that a treble isn't the only hook to use ! Exciting stuff with the Cuttle too Thanks for the reminder for playing them slowly, Is it the same when playing squid ? "What wouldn't want to eat that" very true about live prawns. I have seen small Bass knock Prawns before engulfing them (like the bigger ones do with Live Mackerel). 100 percent agree about the seabed fascination and what a great bit of underwater investigation work. Lovely to see the. Better Bass and then a Pollack surprise. Again the Livescope is Brilliant it seems to be the clearest i've seen. I appreciate you have lots of comments to answer but quick Question - Can you make a good guess at wether the Live-scope fish are Pollack or Bass ? Are there any clues when observing their depth in the water column or behaviour ? Great to see whats in the pots and just as we think its all over out comes the Huss. A thoroughly engaging Video mate. Look forward to the Squid/Cuttle upload.

With practice you can make an educated guess about what species they are by their behaviour. In deeper waters it’s harder to distinguish. In shallow water you can see the fin orientation. So I’m 5m water you can often tell between a bass and a mullet

I am sorry again John fir your loss. I believe you were being watched as people know from landmarks who know your area well, have found your pots by watching the backgrounds of where you dropped. Just my theroy. I pray for a very bountiful year, so that you may replace what has been stolen in your community. You seem to be a highly intelligent young man. Take your therories and discuss with your l8cals fishermen and with officials. You have probably already done so. Best to you and your beautiful family.

It's been good to watch your season this year. Sorry about the stolen Pots , there are some Mongrels around, don't let the Bu**ers gets to you mate, every dog has it's day.......
