  • Cod Fishing and Fossil Hunting on the Yorkshire Coast | The Fish Locker
    Shore fishing for cod on the North Yorkshire coast is at its best in the winter months. Today we fish a rough ground shore mark near Whitby on the North Yorkshire Jurassic Coast, explaining the rigs and showing how to bait up with cart. Not ideal fishing conditions we just enjoy a day on the shore. Combing the area and finding hundreds of amazing fossilised creatures from the Jurassic period 180 million years ago. Ammonites, Bellomites and fascinating rock formations. A few fish, some enjoyable time out on the coast and some winter sunshine. What more could you ask for?
    Here is the link for Tom's article on cart fishing bait. hookpoint.co.u...

    I normally don't comment, but I'm a student about to go into ecology, and your passion when explaining things makes me feel like I'm just a kid again, being fascinated by nature. Had a rough childhood and your channel is a great comfort, seeing you lovingly interact with James heals my inner child, honestly. Much love and thank you for your content, you are an amazing person and a great father

      @@TheFishLocker I totally agree with this. I would add that with the lack of overall leadership governing our lands, plan B for us folk on ground level, is to look after those seeking info and help. YT is a great community space for maths, language, science, history, geography and technology. I love learning about gardening eco friendly. Foraging for food that was once classed as a poor person food but is actually good for you.
      Samphire is a good one. The cross of Asparagus and Horse mere. Up market restaurants are now driving the price up on this cheaper alternative to asparagus. It is more tender and smaller and more readily available in wetlands areas.
      I also i like learning about history in an equal setting. Whilst we cannot change the past, we should use the unveiled information to educate people better.
      I am too from a broken home but during my time i educated myself in my diverse journey. Lets just say not everything is black and white

      To: The Fish Locker - They are indeed! You may already know that the bodies remained in the outer shell of the new growth and that the separation of the previous 'sutures' follows the 'Golden Ratio', otherwise known as a 'Fibonnaci sequence'.
      Ha,ha! i could be described as an 'old fossil' since as a human it is something that we possess too.

This post brought back some good old memories for me John lad, some good old memories indeed. I remember hearing the 3 bangs signaling the RNLI guys and fella next door would run out jump in his car and head for north landing on the end of north marine road flamborough and me and my grandad would follow and see them off. I remember as a kid also use to spend many many hours on thornwick bay just looking for washed up bits , I called it treasure as a kid but now I think it’s called pollution🧐🤷🏼‍♂️. I remember my ever first fishing trip out to sea, it was 33 years ago on a boat called ( Rachel Kay ) from bridlington Harbour ) it was freezing and foggy but loved absolutely every minor it, believe it or not the boat is still there in use in the harbour today,!!. I caught my first ever fish , a place, and it was in the pan with some butter a few hours later👍,,,always appreciate your hard work and editing hours a day John and all and always look forward to the next post, best wishes to you and family and all 👍🤝🇬🇧👨🏻‍🍳

    7:00 Wow! You took me right back to 1974 and made me feel like a 9-year-old again when I recall my late mother took me and my brother on holiday to the South coast and we went fossil hunting. It was a simple joy that only cost that of a hammer and a bit of petrol and we spent several hours searching. I had completely forgotten about this and it came straight back to me. I think the UK is uniquely blessed (despite its small size) with fossils, and the fact you can find them on a fairly average walk is quite amazing.

    Happy new Year, i remember my late dad taking me down the cliffs at Hawsker it was steep and hard to get back up when your only 7, but i always look for them when at Whitby etc, i was at Bempton at Chritmas and went to Brid, there is a shop that sells those amminites for quite a bit of money but he has a huge one that has been in the window since i was a kid.

    Being as I left 30 years ago I haven’t heard of cart but it looks like an excellent idea. I’m sure everything swimming off New England would love it or a similar mess. I’m not sure Americans would make the swap though- a crab for a fish- but I’m sure Striped bass fishermen would have a go.
    Do Southwest fisherpeeps make it with spider crab?
    You can probably make puke sausages out of anything, even chicken bits fishing for catfish. If I could still fish I’d be making that poop all winter.

    Well done, John and Tom. Sometimes fishing is more than just about fishing. I worked 25 years as an oil and gas exploration geologist come navigator. In the early years, when elf and safety were not such a big concern, we could fish at will from the vessels. One of my best sightings was of a nautilus swimming along, much as the ammonites used to. I got several fossils for Xmas from the family, mainly polished ammonite sections, but also a Madagascan fish. Getting back up the cliffs is getting harder but keeps me going. Thanks for your efforts and videos.

      Hi Max, when you say navigator did you mean geosteering? I'm also a geologist and have worked in the oil industry for just over 20 years. We already had the dreaded elf n safety in the few years I worked in the North Sea so never had the chance to do anything as fun as fish off the rig but once we had a monitor in our mudlogging unit where we could tune into the ROV when it was diving and watch the fish which I believe were collies.
