- This video shows how effective The Fish Locker Wrecking Rig is at catching those BIG wreck fish. Designed from years of deep sea fishing experience this rig is perfect for Ling, Conger and Cod. I explain how to bait it, then show how to fish a wreck on the drift. Explain the rigs designs and how to modify it to suit your conditions. THIS RIG CATCHES FISH!!

Congrats John
Can yiu get ling in scotland by any chance? I was thinking of going on a charter boat but dunno what I can catch
@@ShinyArceusOfficial - You get the biggest ling up your way!!!
No way haha east or west ss I am in the east of Scotland, was also gonna say lucky you, still got mackerel down there haha
@@ShinyArceusOfficial pollock, coal fish, cod, flat fish. Wher do you stay in Scotland?
Great to see your channel has grown so much. I remember when you just started the channel. You deserve the large number of subscribers, because this channel is so educational and fantastic to watch. Respect mate!
Thank you very much, I am glad that you are still enjoying our content. 😊
@@TheFishLocker I sure am. Your videos always remind me of my youth and the fishermen I watched and talked to : )
Huge commitment, especially in winter ❄️
It's John and Hanna's personality. They seem to be people you would want to have a beer with.
the vastness of the ocean is anxiety inducing, to say the least, so it's pretty damn cool to see somebody making their living on the water, being ethical about their catchs & dispatchs, AND bring us along for the ride while educating inquisitive minds.
Seriously, thank you for the content you create, I fuggin' love it. Stay safe!
Jeremy it is my pleasure to share our content with you. It is simply sharing what I love doing and if our methods and ethos educate others then that is simply wonderful. Best wishes and have a lovely festive season. 😊
The King of Ling returns once again to bless us.
The fishing gods were kind to me this day. 😊
Once, just once I would have liked a day like that. Happy days.
Some days everything just falls into place doesn't it. 😊
Super. Thanks for taking me with you. My Dad passed and I don't go boat fishing anymore. You bring back a lot of memories. Especially the coastal foraging. Thankyou.
I am sorry to hear that Dot, but I am happy that we can remind you of happy times. 😊
A perfect way to spend the time left before I have to go to work!
Enjoy your night. 😊
Have been super busy these last few weeks and haven’t seen a video in a while. It’s like seeing a good old friend. Thanks for the Video John. Hope all is well
Mate I am sorry its taken me so long to respond. I too am really busy atm. Life has a habit of getting busy doesn't it. 🤷🏻♂️ I hope you are well?
Gotta love the day when the fish ward you off by giving you to many! Keep up the good work and good eating; love the channel!
Some days things just fall into place. 👍🏻🐟

It is my pleasure Liz, yes we were well stocked with ling for a good while after this trip. 😊
He does it again 👌
Just doing what I love. 👍🏻🎣
For sure buddy, me and the wife are hoping to move down south from Wales end of next year 🙏
That is a great piece of video John, you certainly made up for the blank a couple of weeks ago. Congratulations on teaming up with Cox/ Rawle a great result. You definitely deserve it. Thanks for an entertaining evening, beats any TV.
Thanks Keith. I didn’t actually blank. I did catch the mackerel. Haha. But yes today was much better.
Smashing video, some top fish too. Great to see you working with the tackle manufacturers. and even better with you showing people how to make the most of the rigs and make them last.
That’s the main thing, is getting them out there and catching some fish!!
I just Love only the sounds of the sea and your interesting comments . No hideous , obnoxious canned music here ! Spot on !
Thank you very much. I make content that I like to see, simple, honest and without B/S. 😊
Superb fishing as usual, congratulations on getting the rigs into the shop, will be buying some of those for myself, good for you mate
I am going to hold a competition for the best fish caught with a Fishlocker rig. The best ones will win a prize. Possibly even a day fishing with me. 😉👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker that sounds pretty good to me
great video as usual mate educational and interesting
cant wait to see the next one cheers
Cheers Dave. 👍🏻
Finally something good to watch! PS the Van conversion was a cool change.👍
Thanks mate. Just need to get out filming in it now. 😊👍🏻
I love your uploads, I went shark fishing in Falmouth, got one when I was 18, I am now 62. I am so glad I found your channel. Gave me back my enthusiasm. God Bless you and your family. 👍👍👍
I am glad you’re enjoying the content. 😊
Big congratulations on the release of the rigs Locker :D.
Thank you. 😊👍🏻
Thanks for great video? When will you be doing more foraging videos?
When the weather allows. It’s not safe atm.
@@TheFishLocker ok thanks looking forward to it, keep safe and have a good Christmas
Love what this guy's doing .
I do to. 😬💙
Wow 😲 so beautiful place ❤️❤️ I love finishing like you Sir, From SINGAPORE 🇸🇬
So nice of you
Can I please request a fish pie catch and cook? Everyone does a different fish pie and I believe that it's the ultimate comfort food. All I used to buy is the smoked haddock but I believe that you'll get a smoker going soon enough.
Top drawer again.
Hannah did one a while ago. It’s on the channel already. 😊👍🏻
Once again a marvelous video showing your fishing skills, a good catch of ling. Looking forward to your next outing...... :)
Some days things just fall into place. 😉👍🏻
lovley lovley fish, i love watching every upload, it makes me soo happy! keep it up, i never wanna see you quit!!!
Thanks so much 😊
Good info as always John and you can always link two of the single rigs together loop to loop, tight lines
Yes you can. 👍🏻
Another great video love the content keep it up, ling fish goujons will have to give them a go
They are delicious 🤤
Always a pleasure to watch you.
What an epic fishing day!!!!
🎣😎🐟
I am glad you enjoyed it
Another fantastic video from you, so informative and truly entertaining. Good luck teaming up with Cox & Rawle mate you deserve every success 👍
Its more to get the rigs out there to people mate. I am currently making 25p per rig. So hopefully it will pay for some fuel for the boat or something. 👍🏻
Always learn something new from you BiG yin. Keep the tips coming ,best of luck.
Every day is a school day. 😉
Another video that makes me want to move to Cornwall. Most the videos from where I go show me how to blank. (Dont think thats the intention.) Im brilliant at that. :-) Thanks for another informative Video.
Haha. You’ve got skills. 😉
G'day John. Thank you for the tutorial. Us old farts never stop learning. Take care mate, and atb from down here in Nz.
Take care buddy and best wishes. 😊🐟
Great days fishing and great rigs. Hope your new venture works well👍
It’s more to get the rigs out there Paul. I’m making 25p on each rig. 👍🏻
Just sat and watched this video john super big ling well done
Thanks mate. We do get some stunning ling.
Well done man !
Thank you. 😊👍🏻
Great information and shows you that it’s really productive in catching nice fish, well done John and thank you
Thanks mate.
As you pull up a 3 ft long Ling fish he says this is a small on. Dam how big are the big ones then. Nice catch you got sir
Haha. They get BIG!!!
@@TheFishLocker Just looked - the British record for Ling stands at 67Lb 5oz!
Brilliant video again, those days just go down in history, and you'll remember it forever, especially down the pub 😎
Down the pub they'll be bigger. 😉🤣
Wrecked em damn near killed em. 🥳
That weather changed really fast, turned black sky fast seemed like when the cloud rolls over.
Inclement excitement!
At this time of year you need to take every weather window. No matter how small.
Cracking video as usual John 👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻 best of luck with this new rig 👌🏻
Thank you.
Great video John, easy some days hey! A few orders coming in from me that’s for sure!
Haha. This was just a culmination of the right conditions. The right boat skills and the right rig. I hope you catch some monsters with them mate. 👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker so do I John! Hoping by the end of the week the weather begins to settle down and who knows?!!
"Now look..." so classic.
Haha.
Epic day John! Congrats!
Thanks Robert.
Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, I've watched a couple of your videos now and can't wait to put what I've learnt to practice 👍👍👍👍👍
Good luck and tight lines. 😊
Hey your great thanks for taking us out with you. Happy Holidays Peace and Happiness to you and your family and friends. Be safe out there Boss.
Thank you Cindy and best wishes to you and your family. 😊
So glad to see you! Got my stepsons "John dory" tee shirt way in time for Christmas! I am so pleased! TY for having a "merch" option for your fans!!
I hope he enjoys it. Best wishes to you and your family and have a lovely Christmas 😊
Another great video cheers pal.
Thanks David.
Well done John very informative, nice to see the wrecks full of healthy fish ,Merry Christmas from Barbados !
You just need to put the distance in mate.
@@TheFishLocker yup those 80M wrecks are definitely further out 😜
You sure have a bunch of filleting to do! I can't say I envy you!! LOL
@@lindajohn8014 I don't know where you heard that Linda (not true) but thanks for your concern.
Haha. Ling are not such a pain to fillet when they are big. The small ones are the trouble.
Great video again John, thank you sir 👍🏼👍🏼
It is my pleasure. 😊
Nice fish 🐟 😋 mate
Thank you. 👍🏻
Great video as always mate. Never been boat fishing, hopefully I can get out and try it next year.
If you find yourself down my way give me a message on fb. 😉
@@TheFishLocker Thanks mate. I’ll do that 👍
Finaly you are selling the rigs:). Well done. Hope you and family are ok. I am testing wrecking rig in Norway, and it is working like a charm. 90% of the time that is the only rig I need. Worth more money than your selling price on the web, in my opinion.
I wanted to make them affordable to everyone. I am making 25p per rig sold.
@@TheFishLocker that is not fair. It should be much more for you.
@@stevagaga - In order to keep costs down for the end buyer that is my cut.
@@TheFishLocker I will ask you one thing, and I do not want to offend you, but why you are not selling them alone? If this is not something you want to answer here, I understand. It is just something which hit my nerv, because you deserve more. Wish you all the best
@@stevagaga - I do not have the time. I work and have a family with small children. If I was to spend time buying components, tying, packing and send rigs. I would have no time to make videos.
Fantastic video as always. Wonderful fish, great rig's perfectly explained. Good luck in your partnership with Cox &Rawle.
Respect.
Simple and effective. Thats all you need. 😉👍🏻
Just Fantastic Again Mr Skipper Well Done Marra
Cheers Brad. Take care mate. 👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker would be great to meet you one Day
Made up some 2 hook wrecking rigs (great video thanks) and caught a ling just like you did as soon as it hit the bottom. What did cross my mind as we started to catch big conger the top hook was in danger of hooking myself when I disgorged it what with it thrashing around outside the boat because he wasn't coming in on deck so I took the top hook off. Ling does taste great. Happy fishing John
Glad you've had success with them bud 👍🏻
Thanks for this,it's the closest I get to actually fishing these days unfortunately.
I hope you manage to get out fishing soon Chris.
@@TheFishLocker not managed it since the sight went iffy....5 long years
wow what a way to start the day this will happen once a life time but its all youre skill posotioing the boat right at the edge of the wreck & youre bait pulled the fish out of the wreck good going & have a good apetite
i never chought &0r ate that species of ling but looking at the muscles of the fish it should be texture of a boiled lobster my mouth is watering buddy good luck & a safe voyage
They are a delicious eating fish. In some of our recent videos I have shown cleaning and filleting. 👌🏻🐟
@@TheFishLocker im going to try to find the video thanks
@@TheFishLocker i knew it i found the video hakes are just under rated all around the world i can eat that every day i holp youre children & family will grow strong & healthy & smart eating fresh fish i would recommend 1 simple thing i done you can cut it in to very thin steaks or slices with the skin like they do far east & just fry it in its own casing i am certain it will taste just like a lobster enjoy & thank you for the video gods speed be safe
Good info as always John👍
Every day is a school day. 😉
Congratulations John. So well earned. The Master with The Kings. Awesome. Cracking video once more - succinct and educational with your wonderful 'human touch'. Onwards!! ;-)
Just sharing what we love Mike. 😊
@@TheFishLocker As always my friend.
John from 3:18 onward till you hauled the fish in ..the lighting creates a great pic of you bringing in that fish!!
Actually as I continue watching there are many Kodak moments..that sky is wildly beautiful!
Some days at sea are reward enough in the beauty. 😊
Nice one John,, keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Phil. 😊👍🏻
Brilliant, another excellent vid 🎣👍
Glad you enjoyed it Stan.
Hi there feller love your videos and the way you explain things when you go rumaging round the shoreline lots of sea food when you know what to look for and were to look for it very interesting be safe
I am glad that you enjoy the videos Kenneth, best wishes and take care. 😊
Wow what a day John 👍going to ask a fishmonger if he can get ling want to give it a try 👍. Congratulations mate on getting your rigs in the shops . Van conversion was a good watch as well mate 👍👌🤟….got to laugh ex navy fishing wrecks haha 😂
Thanks bud, aye half them wrecks are there because of the navy. 🤣
Well that was a great advertisement for the Fish locker Rigs John, but as we know your knowledge on wreck fishing is second to none fantastic haul of ling and great content
Right time, right place, right rig. 👍🏻
we where using this rig 50 years ago BUT we cut the snood at the knot so we had a longer snood length,great rig
The issue with that is the hook needed to be tied, whereas mine can be looped on and off as needed.
U got to get some loin smoked John
Trust me
I deep fry flakes of smoked ling
Nice one mate and love ya videos
All the best form Sunderland
I do enjoy smoked fish. I’ll give it a try. 👍🏻
You’ll enjoy it Jim will to my nana stems the ling flaks it picks big flakes out batter them once
An fish pie 🥧 an fish cakes with the rest
Lovely 😊 mate
tanks as usual.. beautiful..
Just doing what I love mate. 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker not a darn thing wrong with that.. good on you, well deserved and congratulations. I remember years ago, commenting how you needed a couple hundred thousand more subscribers.. definitely made it happen, just took a minute.. lol
YOU JAMMY SO AND SO....!!! YOU MADE IT LOOK SO EASY...!!! THE FIRST LING YOU CAUGHT LOOKED ABOUT 18 --- 20lb ..😊 I HAVEN'T HAD A LING THAT SIZE IN A WHILE.. !!! AS FOR YOUR WREAKING RIGS ..I USE A SIMILAR TYPE OF SET UP I USE 7/0 --- 8/0 ONTO 150 --250lb COMMERCIAL LONG LINE MONO ANYHOOS BUDDY TOP WORK AND SOME AWESOME VIDEOS 🍺😊👍🏴🐟🐟🎣🐟🎣
Cheers Kev, aye I pulled up some nice fish didn't I. 😉🎣
Hi John, the whole vlog was interesting especially the bit about the rigs, what a great day fishing and good size ling as well, I’ve never tried ling but after what you said I feel I’m missing out as I do like eating sea food, bass, cod, mackerel being my favourite fish, before I go yesterday I was telling someone what a great morning to go out fishing as the sea conditions were identical to yours here in Weymouth but unfortunately I had other commitments, anyway thanks for my day with your vlog, all 5he best.👍🏻🦞
I hate it when that happens. The sea always looks so inviting when you’re stuck doing other things. 😫
Yeah LING ARE TO ME BETTER THAN COD TO EAT..YOU ARE MISSING OUT..!!!🍺😊👍🐟🎣
Some of the depths you're fishing in.... I'd be making a brew while waiting to hit the bottom...! 👍
Haha. It gets deeper too. 🤣
Nice catch, big ling. Looks like your really on them this day, one after the other. Freezer will be packed this week. Last time out you couldn't buy a fish with your friend getting them all. Ya never know what the fish prefer day to day. We you certainly hit the ball out of the park today.
Some days the fishing gods smile on you. 😊
Nice one John good bag of ling .
Also rigs look good. Shame about the nets every wear.
It is what it is mate. This time of year is terrible for it. 🤷🏻♂️
Great vid as usual. My first sea fish was a ling out with a skipper called nikki somewhere on the lizard. Took it back to campsite and ate it. Bloody lovely.
Nice. They are a great eating fish. 👍🏻
Great video John! That famous wrecking rig doing the business.
Deadly rig on the wrecks mate. 💪🏻🎣
When John Locker is about the fish don't stand a chance. Flipin great video mate always a blast. Tight lines all the best 🎣🎣🎣
Haha. Some days things just fall into place mate. 😊
John thanks for your content, always feel like im there with you fishing. Ive recommended you to everyone i get chance to 😁
Thank you very much Dave, I hope it does feel like you are here with me. I pretend that you are - at least that way I'm not there talking to myself. 🤣🤣
@@TheFishLocker thanks for reply 😁
Love the wreck fishing
Me too. 😊
great video great fish great rigs, what more do you need niceone john
Not much mate. 😉
Thumbs Up John.... Del..
👍🏻👍🏻
U really r the Ling King! Love it... On navionics there's a patch in West Wales a Gutter 100 metre wide and a mile long. Shelf either side drops from 10m to 30m quickly. Summin I should be interested in doing a long drift with? Many thanks.... jj
I would also consider fishing a Fishlocker conger rig with a live whiting on it. 😉
cracking fish great watch awsome stuff as usual can't get ling here been trying for some for table so only slightly jealous lol
Where are you fishing mate?
@@TheFishLocker west Wales
great video
Thank you. 😊👍🏻
I don’t know how you do it,well I do 🎣🐟 I have a feeling you’re going to break the ling record one day 🤞Love the new traces your bringing out too 👍
I don't know about that. They grow super big off north of Scotland. That is where the record will be had. 😉
Planning on some freshwater ling fishing in February. Will have to try rigging something similar.
Freshwater ling?
@@TheFishLocker Burbot, a freshwater ling cod native to some freshwaters here in the US and Canada. Run a little smaller than their saltwater cousins, but they are delicious.
@@KowboyUSA - I know of Burbot, they are technically extinct here in the U.K. but I do know of them I just haven’t heard them called Ling. Good luck. 👍🏻
Great video mate and good luck with your line of rigs! If you decide to add my skate booms to your range I'm sure we can come to some huge financial agreement! 😂🤣😂🤣😉🎣👍
I have had 2 skate trips cancelled already mate. I’m itching to get up there.
Great stuff best channel on utube
Thank you very much John, I am glad that you think so. 😊
thank you
My pleasure Jody.
Excellent show once again . I didn’t know commercial fishing boats could fish wrecks, continuing to learn from the master… On to another angler who had his own tv show, without giving out his name, I’m going back about 25/30 years maybe. He would pop the fishes swim bladder with his knife and toss them back in saying that they live to fight another day. Now like I said I’m not going to give out his name, and to be honest I did look up to this guy for a very long time. Needless to say my opinion has changed to do with our estranged partners who also manage the Great Barrier Reef….😉🤔🤭😳😲🤫
Good old Rex.
@@stucrossland3719 I’m showing my age now…I was glued to the Beared warbler for quite a length of time.. but we’ll caught … At least John can show us how it should be done…😉
Certain fish when caught from shallow areas can be returned. But when fishing at such depths, the damage is also internal. The nervous system, its organs the lot. They may swim out of sight. But they die.
Type of wreck we all dream off!!!
You need to go the distance for these ones.
I always know when the fish locket family freezer is empty coz we get a ling video 🤣🤣🤣 I've never tried it and would love to so next time I'm down in Cornwall visiting family I'm going to get a wrecking trip booked I think because up here on the south coast we don't really get them
Fantastic video mate as always
If you give me a message on the Fishlocker fb page before you're due down I might be free. 👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker I will John thank you 😊
@ 19:56-19:57ish I'm not forsure if anyone's spiritual or religious but you can see an Orb fly over your head left to right. Someone's clearly watching over you bro. Keep up with your great work! 👍
I am glad to have someone looking out for me. 😊
Best fishing channel on UA-cam by far
Thank you very much Matthew. I am glad that you think so. 😊
I really envy you john out on your boat I love to watch and catch fish it's so humbling best wishes 😁👍🙏
I just love being by/on the ocean. It brings a deep joy doesn't it. 😊
