Have you ever seen a Great White off the Cornish coast? I've heard a few stories.

[@LillyMunster85]

I don't see these safety messages enough on other KZbin fishing/spearing/diving videos. Thank you!!! It's so easy to get pull into the catch, but quite another to be prepared when things so sideways. Made sure my children watch this even if we're never off the coast of Cornwall. ☺

To top it off, in the current climate of selfishness and me, me ,me; assisting the broken down fishermen and towing their boat home, top man! It’s how sea fishermen have always been and is a lesson to all about standards and common respect.

Whether you catch everything or next to nothing (very rarely), you're always at the center of your videos. It's not the instruments or the screens speaking but a real and engaging description of what's going on above and below the waterline. I may never go wreck fishing again, particularly here in Paris, but your videos are every bit as interesting just the same.

[@CJ-gn8qm]

Great to see the etiquette of seafaring being put into action! I find it amazing that anyone with enough money can buy a boat and put out to sea with no qualification or understanding of the mariner’s code. I noticed in a few of your earlier videos boaters steaming past at speed with no consideration for other boaters. This ethos is drilled into students on RYA courses and no doubt in your RN days. Looked like a great day out on the boat though!

[@TheFishLocker]

- That is it entirely. You do not need any qualifications at all to buy a boat and take it out for your own pleasure. Because of this you get all sorts out on the water. All bravado and no brains half the time. I have spent my entire working life on the ocean in one capacity or another so it comes as second nature. Take care mate and stay safe. 😊

[@stevebarlow3154]

For seasickness and other travel sickness get your doctor to prescribe Stugeron. It is very effective as long as you take it an hour or so before going on the water.

[@TheFishLocker]

@@stevebarlow3154 - I take kwells when I suffer.

[@stevebarlow3154]

@@TheFishLocker I first heard about Stugeron some years ago in a yachting magazine. More recently I was reading the story of a guy who had skippered those enormous motor yachts you see in the Med and Caribbean, which cost more to charter for a day than most people earn in a year and he was saying that Stugeron was the medicine of choice for those clients who suffered from mal de mere. Personally I've almost never suffered from seasickness. I can remember as a kid getting in a large open boat launched off the beach in Deal, Kent for a trip to the Goodwin Sands. Sadly we never made it to the Sands, as apart from the skipper, my mother and me, everyone else was hanging over the side feeding the fishes! I do have an achilles heel though, on the only two occasions I have had a drink before setting out, I was seasick the following day! The second time was on a ferry journey between Hobart, Tasmania to Sydney on the Australian mainland. I don't know if it was the motion of that particular boat or the very rough Bass Straight we crossed, but for about two and a half days I was as sick as a dog!

[@casperandthebeast5780]

I'd love to see you driving the boat to your next spots, I love seeing boats motoring along. Your boat is very good for a smaller boat, can't wait to see what you get when you do upgrade. I have a 24ft cathedral hull boat im working on at the moment, just got to paint the deck and install all new steering and throttle controls, its got an old Mercury 50hp 4 cylinder 2 stroke outboard. Definitely want to get a small spare engine to have on a drop down transom. I won't get it done now until spring now as I have a brain tumour. But im excited to get it in the water. It could do with the main beam on the trailer replacing as its not galvanised like the rest of the trailer. But ill get that done when the boat is moored up in falmouth in spring. Keep up the great work, I love watching during this lockdown, I also love watching you and your family enjoying fishing to. You are a great dad. Hope to see you on the water next year. Take care and all my best to the family.

Thirty whole minutes of calm John drifting on the waves and the gentle rattle of tackle? My you're spoiling us! It really looks like a lovely day out on the water there, and this is the perfect background to put on as I cook up a very special meal. I'm far inland, so I don't often get fresh seafood, but an uncle of mine recently went on a fishing trip to the coast, so I have some wonderful fresh fish and shrimp to cook up today; I might just have to use some of your recipes!

[@TheFishLocker]

- Fantastic. I hope you enjoy your seafood my friend. Give our kudos to your Uncle and take care. 😊👍🏻🐟

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

A hard days fishing! Im interested in how you cooked the Bass up in the end. my family prefers to steam it or wrap it in tinfoil and put it in the oven with a bit of butter, a squeeze of lemon and a dash of salt and pepper. They dont add too much seasoning because they want to taste the natural flavour of the fish when its cooked up and steaming or 'baking' it in tin foil retains the moisture which makes the fish so delicious!

[@TheFishLocker]

- The catch and cook video is in editing 😊

[@Ericcartman666]

I've been a carp angler for over 40 years but recently I'm becoming a bit disillusioned by it all, my mate has recently bought a boat and watching your videos has really inspired me to have a go. Excellent to watch and very informative.

Great vlog John,when I and my father had boats either one of us would have been very happy with a fish like that as I'm sure you are,i couldn't agree more about some one in need takes precedence over every thing as it could be life saving and its comforting to know that if it ever happens to you you can count on anyone being near,we had boats for 15 years and we helped several people in need and once were rescued ourselves so I know what it's like at both ends,any how stay safe and cheers.👍

[@TheFishLocker]

- Having been in enough situations in my life I do feel that things do often happen as they should. I could have sacked it off early because the fishing was hard work but I wouldn't have had that fish and wouldn't have been there to help those lads.

[@maxwilliam56]

Well done, John, can't catch loads of fish every trip. Wouldn't be such fun if you could. My tame charter skipper, after a good days fishing in August with us on board rescued a boat about the size of the one you towed. Had a worried little family onboard. He rigged up, with not much help from us, the same 2 point tow, and as we got closer in, a side by side tow with a spring line. As you say, calmness is the key. Well done.

[@TheFishLocker]

- Thats it mate. Not every day is a red letter day. As for the towing and any other issues at sea it really is best to stay calm and assess. 😊

Hello/ Capt'n John saves the day. For two seconds when i saw the yellow boat i thought it was Graeme Pullen on High Sea Drifter then i saw no totally aweome fishing stickers and the boats name. Now that would have been a viral video !! Lol. Well done and all the Best. Stay healthy and stay safe.

[@TheFishLocker]

Haha Yes a few people thought that at first glance! Have a great week and all the best 👍

[@mikeb8674]

Brilliant. You lost the tuna but became a literal fisher of men. =) Good times.

[@TheFishLocker]

- Haha. Yeah, caught a new PB boat on the way home. lol.

[@donaldadams5342]

Look, for all the bad luck on the fishing, it was still a good video John. It certainly was a very lovely Bass you did manage to land but it was unfortunate that you could not land the big 'tuna' because it managed to use your boat against you, smash the rig & get away. However, I did enjoy your rescue of your fellow fisherman in his time of need, learning how to make a safe rig for all concerned. Thanks for sharing, stay safe & well, Don from South Aust.

You can never tell what’s going to happen can you mate.

[@simonmorris4226]

Beautiful day and a good sized bass. I’d have been happy with the mackerel ! Every time you catch something I start thinking recipes. Can’t beat a fresh bass steamed with white wine and a dash of garlic and a few veg!

[@TheFishLocker]

- We should have a catch and cook up soon. 😊

[@fatfish6839]

Great video again john .... crazy day for you all that work then the bass come like buses 🤣and then a blue fin on the retrieve... wow That's the Maniacal's for you ..... you just never know what that place will throw up 😉 Well done john enjoy that bass yummy

Those conditions and scenery have me desperate to make another adventure down that way. Beautiful silver cornish bar thanks for another fantastic video 👌

[@TheFishLocker]

- Don’t mate. Seeing the recent vids from you and the big man on those bass shoals just gives me goosebumps. Would not only love to get a rod bent into them but would love to see the spectacle from beneath the waves!! Must be totally awe inspiring. 😍🐟

[@arniepetrie2866]

Legend, thanks again for a great video. You never fail to make me smile from ear to ear! I dont always comment but i always watch!

- Thank you Arnie. I am glad that you are enjoying the vids mate. Take care bud and tight lines. 😊

[@paulmerryman]

Top man for the tow in for the stranded boat. Nice sized bass, and I could tell you were going to take that one home. Always tomorrow for the tuna.

[@TheFishLocker]

- Haha. You could see when it came aboard that there was a moment of deliberation. Haha. 😊

[@paulmerryman]

@@TheFishLocker Exactly. Stood out a mile. Hope it tastes good.

Great reminder on safety John. I hope those lads go out and pick up a small back up motor. can't have the Fish Locker on call all the time!

[@TheFishLocker]

You and me both!

I thought that was Graham pullens boat for a second, from totally awesome fishing 😂

[@TheFishLocker]

- Haha. No this was a local lad.😊

[@scale2tail]

Fantastic mate. Love centre pull idea. Well done for helping out. Nice swell out and you managed to catch a good feed we will be going back into lockdown in South Australia. All it takes is 1 person. Take care out on the water and take care of that beautiful family of yours. Nathan

[@TheFishLocker]

- You are right mate. It only takes one person and the whole house of cards falls down. Take care Nathan and stay safe mate. 👍
