My dad worked in England for a while... then when he came back to Portugal he said he ain't never goin back there, he always says that the weather is always horrible and always raining , but I disagree, I see your videos and I have to say I'm in love with the views, and the weather looks fine for the most part haha! Loved the video John u are a awesome teacher!
Many years ago when I was a young teenager I went out on a tourist fishing boat from Weymouth and caught what can only be described as a plethora of big fat pouting. Nobody else on the boat wanted them so I took all the biggest, fattest ones in two carrier bags, and the skipper had the rest for crab and lobster bait. I was on a holiday camp-site at the time and had too many fish for my family BBQ, so I filleted the rest and gave them to my campsite neighbours. Those fish went down really well in what became a communal seafood and wine BBQ party on the holiday camp-site hosted impromptu by my (recently) late father. Pouting are not really the best fish to eat, but they're passable, and those ones in that situation and company became gold.
Awesome again John a few chips and salad yum water still like gin went 4 a coastal walk on Sunday over cliff tops I could c every rock on the bottom just watched a flock of parrots strip seeds & leaves from a tree .Happy catching from Australia Nick
A pleasure as always. It's nice to be talked to instead of being lectured like some tubers do. A joy to be with you on your boat and I hope that you get your creels back and whoever has taken them has no luck. All The best to you and your family.
A hard day's fishing but you got one decent fish, and of course a dogfish, the channel trade mark. Wreck fishing at times just seems like an easy way to loose expensive tackle. Enjoyed watching you from my armchair!
One of your best angling shows John!!I'm not joking, you worked so hard for that fish,and then gave it all the respect it deserves.. great show,loved it❤
Corker of a ling and a hard session but you nailed it as usual John. Fantastic footage as always and I’m sure I speak for all subscribers/followers when I say we really do appreciate all of your efforts. Great filleting work too. All the best mate 👍
Our ranch in Northern Nevada US has been flooding with snow storm on top last three days, mud everywhere. Great for the coming grass season but so tough on animals and everything now. My Sunday improved 100% with this video. Love it
Speaking as an accomplished "blanker," any day I catch a fish is a good day. I'd have gone home a happy man with just the sardines and mackerel. Well done for sticking it out. (Ooh, Matron.)
Great video again John..tough day but a great ling for your perseverance.. shame about the nets makes me wonder how much of our stuff is on the ocean floor...I actually don't mind pouting for fish cakes but they're full of some kind of parasitic worm..I left a couple in the sink one night and the amount of worms that was bundled together out of the fish was unbelievable... I'm going back a few years now but my Nan and I made fish cakes and they were nice... and thank you for more education... I'm sure the dolphins know the sound of your boat and they're like yes... let's swim along with John locker.. he's a man of the sea..👍❤️
I know they had come out of the pouting over night and formed a ball together the size of a golf ball.. although my nan made some nice fish cakes out of the flesh don't think I'll try them again... what's ling like? Looked lovely fillets you got.👍
You give great explanations of methods of wrecking fishing. We have numerous wrecks in South Australia and like you it takes a bit of know how to anchor with wind and tide. Great educational show, even applicable here in Australia. Thanks. 👏🇦🇺
@ Can’t fish anymore due to back problems. Want to buy a 6.2 meter aluminium, ex coast guard boat, with all the bells and whistles. I’ll post it to you. 🤣🤣
Fantastic result for a hard day out on the boat John, the way you celebrated the ling ,clearly had been a tuff one out there, well done tho mate , appreciate your effort 👍🏼👍🏼🎣
@@TheFishLocker you certainly did. I heard a theory on why dolphins swim at the bow of a boat like that. It said that the underwater bow wave from a boat (especially ships) allows them to be boosted forward with hardly an effort and apparently they do this “for fun” 🐬
That’s more like it mate👏🏻 I was waiting for a offshore wrecking session just love it. The is in the kitchen preparing dinner and my boy and I will enjoy some proper fishing video👏🏻🎣🎣🎣
There is something beautiful about a gray day on the sea, thanks for sharing it with us. (no sammiches? not even a butter one? uh oh... lol) Have a wonderful week.
John what a way to start the day with the dolphins..it's like "good morning Mate!" Thanks for the tips, the lessons, and another great watch. Hope all is well.
Well that was a very interesting video to watch John. If nothing else it showed that persistency pays off in the end. It was not a great day for fishing but because you hung in there you did catch fish, end of story. Through sheer persistency you did land a target fish for the day in that GOOD size Ling which yielded some really nice fillets. Great patience, great video, great educational content. Well done mate, cheers to all of you, Don from South Aust.
When, many moons ago, I used to go sea fishing, I loved a Pouting to eat but they didn't keep long especially if the weather was warmish. I do wish I had that type of fishing you have when I sea fished all those years ago but its great watching your vlogs and the areas you fish. May you and your family have many more days of Tight Lines.
I really enjoy your videos. My family were fishermen in Great Yarmouth and other places towards Cromer for a couple of hundred years. They were Royal Navy, longshoremen, sailing and steam drifter men and beachmen who made their living fishing and salvaging the many ships that went aground or wrecked on Scroby Sands and other banks around Yarmouth Roads. The beachmen saved the wrecked sailors lives too obviously. One of my relatives was killed when the Beaumont (lifeboat) turned turtle at Caister around 1900. My great grandfather captained a drifter up until he was in his 80's but went blind and had to give it all up, eventually dying in an air raid on Yarmouth at the age of 96 in 1941. My dad and my uncle went to sea to fish in their early teens. With all of that sea-faring history in my family, I've never been able to understand why I get so bloody seasick! I'd never be able to do anything except hang over the side in the chop you were in! Great Video!
@@TheFishLocker It's strange but I've been in very life-threatening situations (one of which has left me permanently disabled) and I'd far rather go through them again (except the one which left me in a wheelchair of course!) than face 24 hrs of honking my ring up!
John you’re truly the king of dog fish, I thought I was good at catching tiny pike, in fact I was out on the boat where you are I’d nearly expect a tiny pike to somehow show up. Great video as usual!!
Watching this has got me really exited for the fishing season John, me and my dad have been working all winter fixing up our first boat can’t weight to get out there.
John your enthusiasm is so contagious, thank you for the grand upload, regards to the family, greetings from Cyprus. By the way, my Mum in Watchet would love the dog fish!! 🐟🐟🐟🐟
@@TheFishLocker Oh my goodness John, I am 65 on the 15th of this month, my Mum is 91 this year, absolutely any chance of a dog fish, I will love you forever, I am too far away and too ill to travel, God Bless you Son. 🐶🐶🐵🐵🐟🐟🐟🐟
Hello John, I must say you have an enthusiastic manner to fishing that I have lost, I am now 80 yrs old, and do not know anyone who is an enthusiastic angler younger than 40 yrs, mainly because lack of fish combined with the cost of boat angling, so older anglers no longer take their sons/daughters boat fishing, but you are perhaps able to reach this niche market.
Cracking wor lad lovely fish, and a pot full of bait slack day but a result. Oh and do pass on my best wishes to Jim when you drop the fillts off. Cheers Nick
Ling !! By far my fav. Not seeing so many at Mo but then not much fishing possible due to really crap weather !! End of April looking better (fingers crossed) !
Great video, so full of promise bait fishing off falmouth then it got testy. I was waiting for your anchor to snag but 25 mins in a ling on light tackle was awesome. Much appreciated informative content 👌
Well done John, so pleased to see you hit your target and happy to see you buzzing 😁. Only discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I'm well and truly hooked. Such a genuine fella with an obvious passion for what you do and the information you share is outstanding. Me and my 11 year old son like fishing for pike up here in Scotland but the more I watch your videos the more I think we'll start to head out to the coastline when the weather permits. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and love of fishing 👍.
Tought day at sea and yet you still be pulling fish out and not a bad ling at all mate. I've said it before and I'll say it again your a master of the sea. Take care mate and tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
Loved seeing the ling being filleted brilliant info. My wife and I had Ling Tagliatelli a few yrs ago in Mr Steins " St Petrocs Bistro" in Padstow. Superb eating fish.
Well done John, ling is one of my favourite eating fish and has big long fillets too. I'd rather freeze them than share them. Friends get the pollock !
Been rough weather in norway for me. Fish take shelter here when its like that so been fishing the center of the city. 14 cod today in 2 hours 😂 Cracking video as always john 👍
I really enjoy your vids, my parents retired down there and lived in the village you launch from. Father kept his boat round the corner, had many happy days out on the water, although I've not been down since 2010 (both passed away) the scenery is so familiar, brings back happy memories
Doing bbq kebabs in the garden and it’s blowing an absolute hooley, but glad I watch this in the man cave in between checking the meat 😂👍🏼 cheers Johnny lad
The dolphins and that Ling certainly stole the show, there was maybe another waiting, but with 50,000 acres of water to fish in, the mighty mariner comes to share your spot - maybe he's wanting friends???
I was taught to bounce the lead, keep the line vertical and follow the contour under the boats drift. All about feeling the lead, same for reefs and wrecks. The key being a vertical mainline and braided for feel. Bait runner reels are great for this as you can drop down as fast as reel up to the structure easier than with the multiplier. As you said, once you get the bite you need the right gear to haul it up Usually a drift just under a knot is good. Great video, but thank goodness you didn’t have another 7-8 anglers with you like I had to learn with. Less oily fish make better baits in them areas too, congers love pout and poor cod or even tiny codling and whiting😎 Keep the vids coming pal👍
What would a session be without the obligatory Doggy! Lovely Ling to make it all worthwhile and looking forward to seeing the carcass become a Lobster (or two)!
Hi John, I am from Wakefield in West Yorkshire when I was a kid we used to go to Bridlington on holiday. I used to fish off the pier. I caught loads of what the locals called Billet. I think they may have been coal fish or whiting. Love your you tube videos, cheers Des
Fantastic fish, John. Great video as usual. The weather's making things challenging. The alliance fishing fleet of four boats hasn't been out in three weeks up here in Northumberland. They have a good setup. They have their own fish monger on the harbour. Boats to the shop on the day. 👍
A hard day, lost kit to old nets. Caught stuff you didn’t want. Then a lovely ling to fillet huge bonus with the dolphins, they would set me upFor the day. Looking forward to pots soon. My local fish monger, parkstone fish has already had lobster, crab and new season bass. Thanks for my usual Sunday fix
I've been out fishing in boats in the Faroes a few times, and even caught a few ling myself, but they've never been that big. That meat looks fantastic. It's great to see how you do this, so thanks for that. I have to go back soon and try again.
I was "knocking together" rigs for fluke, a.k.a. summer flounder all afternoon which looked a good deal like your single drop wrecking rigs. I put my rubber squids on opposite sides of the to your way, pointy bit pointing upstream from the hook. I understand that doing that helps the bait from helicoptering. Your way certainly looks more festive.
Excellent video, Cape Cod Bay just starting to wake up from the winter.. I've had days like that: much effort and gear and one or no fish.. someone said "you must save so much money catching your own fish".... I didn't tell them it cost about $50 a pound to bring in a $20 fish
My dad worked in England for a while... then when he came back to Portugal he said he ain't never goin back there, he always says that the weather is always horrible and always raining , but I disagree, I see your videos and I have to say I'm in love with the views, and the weather looks fine for the most part haha! Loved the video John u are a awesome teacher!
Haha. I don’t film when it’s raining too bad. It does rain here a lot. 🤣
Do the fish know its raining?
@@John3.3yes, they know. Hence you find most fish under the bridge when raining.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😮😅😅
This is the end of May 24. The forecast says rain,rain,rain how wrong can they be. We are the driest. Visit Norwich.

Here the clarity is being measured in inches.
It was looking like one of them days you just want to forget, but then that ling turned it all around, that's persistence and pacients. Great video.
Some days are hard work mate. It’s fishing. 🎣😊
Fineexampleofwhyitiscalledfishingandnotcatchinasmtgrandadusedtotellme
A pleasure as always. It's nice to be talked to instead of being lectured like some tubers do. A joy to be with you on your boat and I hope that you get your creels back and whoever has taken them has no luck. All The best to you and your family.
It is my pleasure David, I simply try to share what I know and love doing in the hope that it helps.
Yay my Sunday just got better thanks to you ❤
Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
My pleasure my friend.
Ah John what a pleasure very gusty up here ,you stay safe
Blowey a gale here too mate.
Hard days fishing,but better than not going fishing.Enjoyed as always John.
I agree mate.

That’s it. There is often a silver lining if you can see further ahead. 😊👍🏻
Excellent portrayal of a fisherman's persistence. Good job on the Ling. Looks yummy!
Some days you need a bit of stubborness 😉🎣
Was thinking about you mate on Saturday 6th. Stood in the harbour at Porthleven, watching storm Kathleen giving it a battering! Stay safe John!
It’s been a rough one hasn’t it.
Speaking as an accomplished "blanker," any day I catch a fish is a good day. I'd have gone home a happy man with just the sardines and mackerel.

Hello John, I must say you have an enthusiastic manner to fishing that I have lost, I am now 80 yrs old, and do not know anyone who is an enthusiastic angler younger than 40 yrs, mainly because lack of fish combined with the cost of boat angling, so older anglers no longer take their sons/daughters boat fishing, but you are perhaps able to reach this niche market.
Who knows? I also blame the convenience of video games for the lack of younger interest in outdoor hobbies.

Thanks as ever mate. You never fail to entertain and educate.
Huge love to you and the family x
Thank you and best wishes to your family.
Nice Cod Sir! Cant wait for the cooking show. My dad would freeze the fillets in milk cartons - filled with water.
Why? Doesn’t that damage the meat?
@TheFishLocker It probably did but he was a Scot and didn't want to buy a sealer. GRHS
Always look forward to seeing you,John. Already hot, in Texas.
It’s starting to warm up here but it’s still very wet and windy.

Thank you very much and best wishes. 😊🎣
Very good John, that ling was lovely and your knife skills are brilliant some nice eating in that fish,thank you for sharing 🇮🇪
Stunning eating fish ling 👍🏻🎣
Great vid once again John , more so when you catch the target fish well done 😊😊
I was really glad to get that fish!!
Well done John. Great reward for your patience. Look forward to seeing the ling turned into a lobster videos. ;)

Yes indeed. You still manage to make it entertaining when your struggling to catch.
Hi John, I am from Wakefield in West Yorkshire when I was a kid we used to go to Bridlington on holiday. I used to fish off the pier. I caught loads of what the locals called Billet.
I think they may have been coal fish or whiting. Love your you tube videos, cheers Des
Great video John I hope Hannah & young James are well 🐟🎣
Thank you Lawrence, yes we are all doing well.
When you struggle but perceiver and end up with a very nice fish that you fought to get!
It always feels like you’ve earned it 💪🏻
Fair play John , you should come to Dublin for the tope and Smooth hound fishing or a week in Ireland, you have loads of fans over here pal
I might just do that. The girls could have a couple of days shopping and sight seeing in Dublin.
Fantastic fish, John. Great video as usual. The weather's making things challenging. The alliance fishing fleet of four boats hasn't been out in three weeks up here in Northumberland. They have a good setup. They have their own fish monger on the harbour. Boats to the shop on the day. 👍
Great setup. 👍🏻
cracking video john brilliant info again , nice job with the filleting love ling taste great looking forward to the next one take care buddy
Thank you very much. Ling can be a pain to fillet but they’re not too bad if you do it like that.
Great video again mate ,don't you just love doggies 🤣🤣
Haha. Oh yeah, I love em. 🤣👍🏻
Worked hard for the ling john, well done for persevering!
Thanks mate. I felt I really earned that one. 🤣
A hard day, lost kit to old nets. Caught stuff you didn’t want. Then a lovely ling to fillet huge bonus with the dolphins, they would set me upFor the day. Looking forward to pots soon. My local fish monger, parkstone fish has already had lobster, crab and new season bass. Thanks for my usual Sunday fix
Aye Terry, because I’m not a big boat I need calmer weather to work the pots in. Won’t be long I hope.
I've been out fishing in boats in the Faroes a few times, and even caught a few ling myself, but they've never been that big. That meat looks fantastic.
It's great to see how you do this, so thanks for that. I have to go back soon and try again.
My pleasure. I hope the videos are helpful to people. 🎣👍🏻
Really Nice Flippin Ling! 👍👍😜🤣😁😎
Cheers my friend. Hard work but well earned. 💪🏻🎣
Made my Sunday John!
Every Sunday without fail. 😊🎣
3:30….you have the best mates! Aren’t they wonderful?❤️🎣
Simply stunning.
Another good show ,, lovely eating fish ling.
Stunning eating fish mate
Looks very calm in the sea
It was to begin with. 🤣
Brilliant, just love watching your videos. You have a fantastic personality.
Thank you very much. 😊🎣
I was "knocking together" rigs for fluke, a.k.a. summer flounder all afternoon which looked a good deal like your single drop wrecking rigs. I put my rubber squids on opposite sides of the to your way, pointy bit pointing upstream from the hook. I understand that doing that helps the bait from helicoptering. Your way certainly looks more festive.
Haha. Both ways have their merits. 👍🏻
Excellent video, Cape Cod Bay just starting to wake up from the winter.. I've had days like that: much effort and gear and one or no fish.. someone said "you must save so much money catching your own fish".... I didn't tell them it cost about $50 a pound to bring in a $20 fish
Haha. The most expensive free fish you’ll ever have.
Beautifully done as always... looks beautiful out there for sure.. nice work
In the morning at least. 🤣
That dolphin scene would become a core memory for me 🐬🥺🥰
They are always a welcomed sight.
I’m sat here eating my spaghetti bolognese,watching you fillet that Ling thinking that looks lovely.👍
They are a great eating fish. 👍🏻🎣
Great video john brilliant as always we are itching to get our boat out when the weather breaks and get on the smoothhounds down here in south wales
I’m looking forward to that too.
Would love to see you up here fishing around the Isle of Lewis in Scotland !!
I would enjoy that too.
Great video John! ❤❤
Thank you Daryl. 👍🏻🎣
@@TheFishLocker the pleasure is all mine John. Regards to family!
