Winter Deep Sea Boat Fishing UK - Catching HUGE Pollack, Ling and Conger on wrecks | The Fish Locker
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- A cracking session on the Pollack, Ling and Congers!! Fishing on my own boat out of Falmouth. Collecting fresh mackerel bait and finding a surprise Bonito. Then having a few drifts picking up some fine specimens before dropping anchor to see what the wrecks were hiding! It was a great day with some fantastic fish.
Don't forget to check out our sister channel @thefishlockerworkshop for helpful reviews and videos.
Here are links to some of the tackle I used in this video. I hope it helps.

Hi John, another suspense filled 50 minuets! I was sat willing that last conger onto your hook so I'm glad he made it onto the boat. Your relaxed attitude, when talking to camera, always gives the feeling that you are talking directly to someone on the boat and not to an inanimate object. Your little hints and tips blend into the dialogue so naturally yet manage to inform without any sign of patronisation. I have no doubt the raw footage takes a lot of time and effort to convert into what we see, but, although I can only speak for myself, your efforts are very much appreciated. I like the clean, honest and uncluttered approach you bring to the screen. The one thing I cannot understand is why you have so few subscribers. Maybe that's a good thing in a way, as we get to see quality not quantity!!
Tim Grenville-Cleave - Thankyou very much for the fantastic positive feedback. I have always tried to talk to the camera as if it is just another person on the boat. It was difficult to do at first but I am very glad to hear that is how it comes across. Hopefully I’ll have some more good vids up soon. 👍🏻🎣 Thanks again mate.
he doesn't have that many subs because he's not bothered about them, don't think I've herd him say like and subscribe once in any of his vids, he just cares about fishing
HAM AND EGGS - Firstly. Great name 👍🏻 I love me some ham and eggs. 😊 You are bang on. This channel is about the fishing and the love for the outdoors. No ego, no drama, nothing else. Just sharing what we love doing and hopefully helping folks learn. 😊🎣🦀🦞🌿💙
Someone should give this man his own tv show
I agree with Tim Grenville-Cleave, yours is a relaxed, natural presentation style that manages to inform enthusiastically without dumbing down or patronising the viewer - and that's a rare ability. Thanks for your efforts, they're appreciated here too. You're a fisherman's fisherman Mr FL. And at 37:20 you're a lucky one too - loved that!
Arriving Arriving - Thankyou very much, I am glad the information comes across that way. It was a really weird feeling at first but I just pretended I’m talking to a friend who’s out fishing with me. 😊 Behind every good angler is a BIG serving of luck. 😬😉😛🎣🐟
Now this is proper fishing. Great stuff John, great content.
Sam TheMan - Thanks Sam, it is one of my favourite types of fishing. As soon as the tide/weather allows I’ll be back out at it!!! 👍🏻😉🎣
Thanks for the ride again John, great Saturday night viewing!
Colin Goodland - Thanks mate. I’ve got to admit I think I’ll like watching this one again when I’m stuck inside with bad weather. 😉
You should have a TV show. Your whole presentation is so relaxing and informative. Thanks for the great video.
- Thank you Teresa. I am glad you are enjoying working your way through our older content. 😊
My Professor taught us to use oil from you nose or forehead to clean lenses. Works great, probably for screens too, & should clean well & repel moisture - with no streaks or lint left behind. Great Video as usual Mate!
I have used it to make line water repellant and therefore float.
We could do with a few more accessible wrecks round here. The last one I fished was years ago, it was miles away in about 300ft. It had so many Ling, cod conger, mackerel, tope & other species . I managed a PB cod of 30lb. It was an awesome days fishing.
Trojs Fishing - Crikey it sounds like it!! This one was around 10 miles from Falmouth. There are probably 100 within 10 miles of Falmouth.haha. With that many species on it I’d be itching to get back to it!!!
Every video I have seen of you is like a successful class
Thank you
Great little catch, that bonito. Well done with the release. Your attitude is spot on
Ironix1 - Thankyou very much. 95% of the fish we catch are catch and release unless used for bait or deep hooked and won’t go back. Then they are kept for the table. All the best and tight lines.😉👍🏻🎣
Another masterclass John. Got a feeling the fish you were happiest with was the smallest.
Barry C - Haha. I was made up with that Bonito. And all on camera aswell!!! In fact that was probably the first British bonito ever caught on camera!! 👍🏻😀🎣 It was a great day all in mate. Well happy.
@@TheFishLocker John, trojs fishing in Guernsey has had a couple of bonitos too. UK but not British, so well done mate
The Autistic Angler - There have been a few caught up and down the south coast over the past couple of months mate. I’m glad I finally managed to find one. 👍🏻
Enjoyed that thanks for taking the time to make it ....
Keith Scott - No problem Keith, I hope there was some useful stuff in there for you. I had a great mixed day on the boat and a new UK species. So happy all round. 👍🏻🎣😉
Just checking out your older videos! These are Great! Pollock are considered trash fish like lobsters used to be.. I was seven when I caught my first Pollock off of my uncle's tuna boat..3 lbs. So tasty!
Here Pollack are a good replacement for Cod.
Excellent video, nice to see such good well conditioned fish coming out. looking forward to the next one.
Stuart Allen - The bigger pollack I’ve had from my area are usually good stocky fish but usually carry some form or battle scar. The same with a lot of the congers. I guess that’s why they’re all good fit strong fish.

@The Fish Locker I used to fish cornwall three or four times a week when i was living there but sadly now living in London and disabled as well so my fishing career came to an abrupt end.and i miss it so much.
All the best mate Stewy.

Hi John,another great fishing trip really interesting,exciting,and educational on species and how to fish for them and it's very well filmed and edited,top quality,I've never seen a pollock that size before and the pouting that fat and as for that last conger I was surprised you pulled it on to the boat as It was so big,anyway thanks for a truly interesting trip,"cheers".
Andreas Chapman - As always, it is our pleasure. 😊👍🏻🎣🐟
absolute banger of a days fishing
Chris king - Aye mate, some days it just all comes good doesn’t it. 👍🏻😬 We’ve got some cracking fishing down our way if you want to get amongst it. Glad you enjoyed the vid mate. Tight lines. 👍🏻🎣😉
Hey John another excellent vid mate. I went out with Kieron on Lo Kie a few weeks back after you mentioned him, had a great day 4 x big Haddock, 5 x Pouting, 1 x 17lb Ling & 4 x Pollock. Thank you for the tip. 😎
Michael Scott - No problem mate. He’s a great lad. I’m glad you liked the vid. Wreck fishing at anchor is one of my favourites. 👍🏻🎣
Just come across your video , great video nice selection of species too.
Michael Bird - Thankyou very much Michael. I do try and mix it up a bit. If you enjoyed this one I have a few others you might like. 😉
@@TheFishLocker Yeh i noticed just watched Fantastic Mixed Species day on my Boat - Sea Fishing Cornwall . I'll watch a few more later....subbed.
Michael Bird - Wicked. Thanks for the support. 👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker You're welcome.
Hi John. I'm a very experienced angler myself. " But due to an accident and damaging my spine" i don't fish much now. I watched ur video's for the first time the other day and it beats what's on the TV hands down ..! Would you consider doing some home videos on how to use fish finders" and trace making ? Also explain the rods, reels, lines and tackle that ur using. My son's are into fishing and they have the use of my boat. I'am sure they will learn something from you. Ps My kids have flown the nest." but I will recommend ur vid's to them as their into sea fishing too. Ur video's are brilliant, just keep them coming mate. Matt
Matt Webster - Thankyou very much, that is fantastic praise and I am very glad you are enjoying the vids. I have already done a few “how to...” vids for a few of the traces I use. And am in the process of creating a “Boat owner/user” playlist with short helpful vids on general boat stuff. This may take me a bit of time to build them up but it is something I am starting to work on. 👍🏻
Hi John. Another cracking video mate. I’m pretty sure we were couple of miles inside of you that day and had a lovely day thanks to your help. Nothing like those beauties though !!! Big well done and keep those vids coming 👍
Graham Laverack - Cheers mate. Once we’d spoken I did recall seeing a dark rib zipping around inshore of me. I’m really glad you lads managed to get amongst the fish. It makes a good day on the water all the better doesn’t it. 🎣😀
Fantastic days fishing thank you Mr L !
- Cheers Mark.😊
Perfect boat set up!
Ryan Szelc Outdoors - It works well for me. 👍🏻🎣😉
Plenty'o fish bro.. is the standard! ;-)) Man gotta shark fin on...next we need a sponsorship from Cox and Rawle + endorsle-fin-ment... is awful gag but is a next for sure! They should be providing the gear. Another tops vid mate. Aces
Mr Key - Thanks mate. It was a good session that day, a nice day at sea and managed to find the fish. 😬👍🏻🎣
Wow . John I saw those two monsters. So exciting Still watching.
- Some days the fishing gods are just on your side :D
man, you have such a rich life, been dying to catch a pollack or cod. Catching many ling, black seabass, and porgy but just can't seem to get onto one. ah well, the beauty of it is that I get to kep trying lol!!! Funny thing, catchiing giant eels, even Conger, but they are protected here in the states. Although there is one type off eel, they catch frequently that a few of the guys ask for and take home. Not partial to eel myself. Again, thanks for taking me where I belong, out on the water.
My pleasure, best wishes and stay safe. 😊
I love the way you grow um back, just fling um over!!
- Congers and some other fish actually do better with a plunge return. It spurs them on to swimming back. Some fish you really need to gently return, others are better if they're given a bit of a smash. ;)
Very good lad.
ascot 104 - Cheers bud. Tight lines. 👍🏻🎣
belting Pollock John, regards Tel G
Cheers mate. 😊👍🏻
Good stuff
- Thank you very much.
Another great video. Wish we had your weather up North. You seem to be out on your boat every week, where as I'm lucky if I can launch mine once a month.
John Brearley - Thanks mate. Haha. I wish it was so. I can assure you The boat won’t be getting launched this week. 😔 Might try for some shore fishing instead whilst the weather is wild.
I really like your channel its the UK version of what i love doing
Daniel Cole - Thanks Daniel. What is it you are doing? Where are you based? 👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker tons of clamming and crabbing also lots of bottom fish like lingcod black rock fish halibut and many many others I live in Albany Oregon about an hour from the coast
Daniel Cole - Awesome. Sounds like a blast. My wife and I are hoping to take our honeymoon in either the queen Charlotte islands or somewhere in Alaska and fish for halibut and lingcod. When we ever get round to it.lol. 😛🎣
Another quality video, I watch many fishing videos but I am particularly impressed the way you treat your fish with respect and care. Some I watch make me cringe with the way they handle their catch.
I feel the same watching some others, hopefully by showing better practices people will start to learn better fish care and handling. Just because we can take the fish for the table doesn't mean we should show care and compassion.
Still have my sea legs, but I might pass on breakfast before I set out😜 besides, a hungry fisherman is a fed fisherman
Haha. Good point.
What a kloncker well done mate
- Thanks John. Some sessions just throw up the goods. ;)
Brilliant , I am watching every vid you have on here . Top work !
bryn mitchell - Glad you’re enjoying the content. I have a playlist specifically for the small boat owner/user where I am starting to upload vids to help the small boater out. Let me know if you have any suggestions for things you would find useful. 😉🛥👍🏻
Awesome content and information to, as usual. You deserve your own main stream tv show.
- Thank you very much. We are simply sharing what we know and love doing mate. Take care. :)
Way hey! Double pillock follock. Nothing finer so I hear. I wish I could catch one. Well done fella. Dave
Dave Dawson - Aye the excitement was getting to me and I couldn’t get my words out. 😆 If I’m honest the big fish down around here are never great looking fish. Always old warhorse types covered in scars. The 6-8lb fish from the kelp are much better looking 😉
Nice Fish A little bite of chips and you have a very good mail 🤩👍
- I do love me some fish and chips
just started to watch your vids ,reely enjoying them and learning at the same time ,thanks
troy wales - That’s great mate. Welcome. I hope you enjoy the videos and find some useful tips. If you have any suggestions/questions. Just give leave a comment. What type of fishing are you in to? 👍🏻🎣
Great vid great tips your a natural on camera.keep em coming mate tight lines.
Scott Whittaker - Haha. It doesn’t feel very natural at times. Miles out at sea on your own talking to yourself. 😉 I’m glad you enjoyed it mate. 👍🏻🎣
Another ready good video more good tips for when I'm down next summer again.
Philip Shaw - The conditions we’ve had the past few days and the temp this morning - next summer feels like a long way away.haha. Glad you found it helpful mate. 👍🏻
My word, you’ve bulked out a lot since this video John
This was not long after I got back from working abroad. Lean. 💪🏻😆
Awesome video as always , some real good tips and a great watch
- Thanks Colin, glad you enjoyed it and found it useful. 👍🏻🎣
I enjoy all your videos John , they have taught me plenty , thank you
colin Breen - Well they’ve been worth doing then mate. 👍🏻
I love to watch your video's. I love to fish, but husband don't like to. Living in the USA with a lot of rivers, the fish taste muddy. I would be out lobster and crabbing every day. Would eat it every day. You be safe out there and follow your dream. Be sure to also spend plenty time with your family. Sending blessings from Tennessee.,
Thank you Brenda and best wishes to you and your family. 😊
awesome, never even seen or heard of bonito in UK, great video mate, im from Plymouth so love watching local fishing, just wish we had better local shore fishing for bream, pollack,cod, bass etc ,, all edible fish, thanks for sharing.
karl wood - No problem mate. 👍🏻🎣 We have pretty decent Pollack and bass fishing down here at certain times of the year. Even some good bream fishing - but requires putting the hours in. I’ve had a few bass in my vids. Mine are all catch and release mind. 👍🏻
yeah i seen the videos, nice fish, i can get lots of bass and mullet 5 min drive from me in leigham in plym estuary and kingsbridge meant to be same and have bream too but havnt been yet, need a good local shore mark to take my son lure fishing for makerel, pollack etc as he too impatient to sit on a bait but your right i need to put some hours in finding some good marks local to me, really want to catch some bream though, not so easy from shore and yea we release the bass , anyway thanks for replying mate, hopefully weathers not so bad so you can get chance to get out for next video, love them, take care and tight lines
karl wood - Have a good one. If you’re ever down Falmouth way give me a shout on The FishLocker fb page and I’ll see if I can put you on a few marks. 😉
you too and thanks that would be awesome.
Total entertainment and informative, brilliant watching 👍🏽🦈
- Thank you
Just discovered your channel , such a relief to see some fish during this lock down keep up the great videos and stay safe
- Welcome to our channel Jon. I hope that our videos can bring a welcome distraction during these stressful times. Take care and tight lines. :)
Boat fishing mastery. Well done, John.
- Thanks Gordon. All the best mate.
And the same to you, my fellow Tyke.
John glad to learn of the bonito and enjoyed the struggle of the monsters and absolute beast. Another really nice video.
- That Bonito was a really happy surprise. They are still very rare here as they are only a rare seasonal visitor. :D
Cracking sport and some great tips, thanks!
Ian Firkins - No problem mate. I’m glad you found it useful. 👍🏻
Wow you really got into them Fish! Great video man and as always tight lines!!!
Osny_fishing_adventures - Cheers buddy. It was a great day at sea. I really love this time of year at sea - when you can get to sea.haha. Hopefully this weather eases and I can get out again. 👍🏻🎣🛥
Bonito ! Spanish Mackerel !
😊
i love this channel, the best on youtube by far, keep it going john. really is excellent viewing. thankyou
Matthew Innes - 😊 Thankyou very much that is great to hear. I am glad you enjoy the content and I hope you find it useful. Could I please ask a favour from you. Could you help share the videos on to folks. It would help me out loads and I’d really appreciate it. 🎣😊
The Fish Locker , no worries mate, will do what I can for you. Wish you all the best. And tight lines
Matthew Innes - Thats awesome mate Thankyou very much it means a lot 👍🏻😁🎣
Great video as always mate.
Romas fisherman - Cheers buddy. 👍🏻🎣
Bloody hell John , I would marry that last Conger .
- Haha. Not really sure what you're saying there? It was a good fish but Im not sure I'd want to be cuddling up to it on a night.
@@TheFishLocker It was a real beauty
bryn mitchell - Sure was. I’m still yet to catch a really big one on my boat, but I’m going to keep trying. 😉👍🏻🎣
Awesome footage
Thank you. 👍🏻😊
Great show John. Great video. A T B Stewart
Pro Lite - Thanks mate. Tight lines. 👍🏻🎣
great video john
Glad you enjoyed it
Cracking vid
Colin Philpott - Cheers bud. I wasn’t sure how well this vid would go down. The other one I did at anchor people didn’t seem too interested in. 👍🏻🎣
@@TheFishLocker
I really enjoyed that one too. Keep at it John. Doing the things you like comes through on the vids. You are doing some cracking vids. Also what a catch that bonito:)
Looking forward to the next one
Thoroughly enjoyed that mate another great video and that last conger was huuuuge lol keep up the good work bud and tight lines
Masterfisherman - Thanks buddy, yeah she was a good one. I was lucky to get it out of the wreck. It doesn’t always go like that.haha. You to mate, tight lines. 👍🏻🎣
Very enjoyable video. Thank You.
MICHAEL SMITH - No problem Michael. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏻🎣🐟
Bravo 👏
- Cheers soft lad.
Mate.. you are a legend 👍
far Away - Haha. Thankyou very much. Just doing what I love mate. 👍🏻🎣🛥🐟
Great wreck fishing ...,2 rods on the go ....could be tricky but you handled well,...I missing boat fishing so much I hope to get my one week fishing in stonehaven just south Aberdeen... But it will be harbour wall fishing ..no boats go out anymore
- That is a shame. Good luck if you get fishing. :)
hay man i'm from Israel and I love Watching your vids
- Welcome to our channel sir. Best wishes and have a great day. :)
@@TheFishLocker cheers man
nice show
- Thank you very much John. Tight lines. :)
Awesome angling, love watching your vids,...🙏
Give me a wave when you pass me on the point!! Keep up the great content!!
Martin Leaker - Thanks bud. Which point mate. Fraggle or Pendennis?
@@TheFishLocker Pendennis!
Martin Leaker - Ok mate. Are you at the coast guards? I’ll keep an eye out for you. Next time I’m out?
@@TheFishLocker Underneath Little Dennis most times! I'm a bit of a fishing obsessive myself!
Martin Leaker - There’s nothing wrong with that. I’ll keep an eye out for you next time I’m out. 👍🏻 Considering doing a shore vid down there at some point.
That is a long fish! spinning all around on the way up. Nice job on the video. tight lines from Rick over at R & J Bass Fishing
R & J BASS FISHING CHANNEL - Thanks guys. The eels don’t ever get more than around 7-8ft long but get fat as hell. I’ve seen them upto 80-90lb but they do go to 200!!!!
Really enjoyed watching that thanks
- It is our pleasure. 😊
Love your blogs mate, simply brilliant 👍
Glad you like them bud. 😊
Brilliant mate 1k subs as well 👍. That a milestone for you lad.
jay cooke - Thanks mate. It wasn’t easy, I’m not sure what the next Fishlocker milestone should be?
Enjoyed the video .
- Thank you very much.
Good channel Fish Locker. I'm going to try some of this next Spring here in Illinois/ Wisconsin on Lake Michigan. I have plenty of plastic and shrimp, but may be hard to find suitable cut bait, unless I can find some w a castnet. There are some wrecks and reefs around.
Actually I heard the Great Lakes king salmon like lures topped off w squid tentacles, while steelhead go for the shrimp.
- That sounds awesome. I can't wait to hear what you catch. 😊
hi john just watching more of your videos I was trying to use the sub titles iam not to sure who writes them but they are impossible to follow they do your fantastic videos no favours at all, keep up the good work this is far better than the television,,
- Haha. They are complete gibberish sometimes aren't they. Makes for some funny reading. :P
Watched a few of your video fishing sessions bud and I find that your tips and attitude are first class. Keep up the good work and Tight Lines! as Ted Tuckerman used to say ;-)
- Thank you very much, Im really glad you're finding the tips helpful and the videos good viewing. We plan to carry on for as long as we are able. Tight lines and all the best. :)
I notice your flash reel....I could never get on with them.,I managed to get a centre pin reel...which I buy in OZ. I just liked it as it worked for me.,..
- I'm a bit odd like that. I get attached to things. I get given new and expensive stuff and prefer to use the old half broken one that Ive had for 10 years because its my "lucky one" haha.
Is that because your a northerner ......😂
Just found your channel and so happy i did, great fishing, so informative and thank you so much for sharing.
Duncan - I’m glad you are enjoying them mate. Thankyou very much for the positive feedback and your support. Have you any requests for future vids? 👍🏻🎣
@@TheFishLocker just keep on with what you do, every video I learn more, thank you.
Duncan - I’ll try my best. 🎣👍🏻
Another great video I hadn't seen 👍😊. That Bonito was a welcome suprise, do they grow much bigger than that in UK waters? Anyway time to settle down and watch the rest of the show. Top lad 👍 thanks for sharing your adventures. 🐟🎣👍😊
- I have seen them caught in salmon nets at around 4-5lb but the smaller ones mixed in with the mackerel shoals are only even mackerel size really.
I love your vids. I live close to the Gulf of Mexico (60 miles away). Been deep sea fishing a couple of times on big, commercial charters. Love your vids.
- Cool. What type of fish were you catching?
@@TheFishLocker Red Snapper mostly. Very tasty fish.
Great video as always mate. The more videos you make the more I'm sure I can hear the odd word in a Westcountry accent 😉
Dan Foley - Haha. Not to sure about that one but it’s all in the ear of the listener. Folks from up north say I sound dead southern now and anyone down here assumes I’m a Geordie. 😛 Glad you liked the vid mate. 👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker 👍
cracking video john,luv the longer format lots of hints and tips. do you catch many cod down there...many thanks scott
scott walmsley - There aren’t as many as up in the north east mate. We have a few resident fish here year round and some marks throw them up in winter. I’m glad the longer vids are going down well. The only problem is uploading them is a nightmare.
Top net job , How lucky and can honestly say never seen that one done before 🙌
Amos Hagan - Haha. Thankyou. Every good fish caught has a bit of luck involved mate. 😛 I think the hardest thing to do is stay calm and don’t get too excited. That’s when you make mistakes. It’s really hard, I always get really excited.haha
Great vid , think I'd probably need a little lie down for about a week after that , really enjoying your chanel.
- Haha. Wreck fishing can be a lot of fun. 😊
Your lings are much different than the ones we have on the Pacific Coast ours have huge teeth
Daniel Cole - Our ling have plenty of teeth but more in rows inside the mouth. Do you mean your lingcod? They are stunning looking creatures. I hope to catch one one day. 👍🏻
Those big old pouting make good pot bait John
Yes they do.
Brilliand channel John, subscribed!
- Thank you very much and welcome to our channel. I hope you enjoy the rest of our content. :D
Nice catches!
- Thanks buddy. It was a great day on the water. 👍🏻🎣
Any day on the water is a great day.
can u do a vid on how u spot the wrecks?
Chris king - How do you mean “spot” the wrecks? I’ve done a video on how to anchor a wreck. It’s in the “Small boat owner/user” playlist. Have you seen that yet? 👍🏻😉🛥⚓️
We get bonito here off Malta....when they have grown up. Wonderful fish to catch. Do they fight!
- Get them around 5lb and they are crazy fun aren't they!!
The Fish Locker 🤣🤣🤣 ex matelots are easy pleased. 2kg biggest I've caught here but they go up to 8kg around here apparently.
Another great video. You really need a gimble belt for fighting some of those larger fish when using overhead reels, I'm sure you would find it more comfortable. I notice you released the Conger Eel are they not good table fish?
Conger are not a good eating fish. They are not even fished for commercially here any more. Practically worthless. 😉
Wow, what a session John, really crackin Congers. You never seem to take a Pouting, other than for Conger bait, I've noticed. Can't remember seeing it on the slab either, meself, have you ever tried it? I'm intrigued because it looks like a decent whitefish, the sort of flesh that would sear-up nicely in a cast iron pan. A couple of them from this session looked like they'd have a decent fillet to them. Thanks again mate.
- You're right mate I don't take them for the table. They are a stinky fish IMO they don't smell clean when you gut them. I use them for conger bait or pot bait if I can't return them . :)
@@TheFishLocker if filleted and eaten within 2 days max pouting are fine ,great for goujons or fishcakes loke pollack only smaller flakes, theres a fish and chip shop in bri ham thats fot it on all the time
Great
Thank you. 😊
Hi John. Another very entertaining and informative video. Well done. What was the new reel you bought second hand please?
Tony Morris - The gold one? It’s a shimano Tiagra 16. It’s a great reel but expensive. 👍🏻🎣😬
Hi John, love the videos. You mention the barotrauma that lots of species get... have you (or anyone else here) ever tried using one of those descending devices/ fish savers to get them back down to required depth quickly? Be interested to know your thoughts on them.
- They only work on certain species and in shallower depths. Anything over 120ft and the damage isn't just to the swim bladder. So you might get them down there, but they're not going to survive. Catching wrasse on shallow 50ft reefs they work well.
@@TheFishLocker brilliant thanks John. We all learn so much from your videos!
Great video once again. Do you ever try the wrecks off Plymouth?
Chris Langford - Cheers Chris, I’ve only ever fished those wrecks whilst on charters. I’ve never trailered my own boat down - not when there are such good skippers down there already.
Do you eat the Pouting??.They are a very nice eating fish yet many anglers put them back.We used to get them that size from our local piers in late summer through Autumn.
Dave Raymond - I don’t personally but know several who do and rate them highly. I only ever use them as bait for congers. 👍🏻🎣
What is the benefit of locking the lead on your Wreck rig John ?Sometimes you use sliding and sometimes locking .
- I'm not sure if you mean Wrecking rig Bryn. Livebait rig has a locked in lead and normal conger rig has a sliding lead.
@@TheFishLocker yes i meant the Wrecking Rig, I am not sure of the reasons for locking a lead as opposed to a sliding?
Great fishing... but where's you life jacket, John?
I see that it appears only in the closing stages of the video.
- Nope. Its on there. If you can see the yellow toggle or the "KRU" badge. Thats part of the lifejacket.
Great video mate,what boat do you have? I fish in Guernsey Channel Islands in my Orkney strikeliner..really enjoyable videos 👍🏻
Paul Robilliard - Hi Rob, Thankyou very much I’m glad you enjoyed the video. My boat is an Orkney 520. So very similar to the strikliner. Great seaboats. 👍🏻😉🛥🎣
