- Exploring the rugged Cornish coastline in winter. Fishlocker junior and I explore stretch of the coast at low tide researching new fishing marks, diving locations and sharing a little history of our local area. We explain how to recognise good fishing locations, show you how to make up a quick and easy LRF/HRF fishing rig and collect free bait.
Here are some links to the fishing tackle I used in this video:

For anyone who may have missed it, I did cook and try some limpets in a beach cooking video. Can you guess how they tasted? Here’s the video. 😉👍🏻 m.ua-cam.com/video/Sj4GC-7oJMs/v-deo.html
Your a great dad John👍🏻
Yes I watched that, he he they didn't go down well did they but the Wrasse you caught and I like to think that was specimen enjoyed them more than you. Still your living the Dream. good on you and the family.
Hi John, what a marvellous video, loved to watch your connection with your brilliant son who knows the names of species and also knows how to throw the bogees in Dad's head....😂
Always informative videos...but one thing I want to know is this fish not allowed to catch n keep...or you had your fridge already full...🙂
Wow, that Wrasse was a monster! What a beast! Talk about being in the right place at the right time. Well done. James is so funny. You're a great dad. Thanks for the nice video
We had limpets at a village festival on Madeira. Cooked in their shells in garlic butter and with a glass of the locally brewed spirit they were amazing 😉
James will be a fine adult because of these trips with you
Some things you just can't learn in school 😊
Reminds me of being James age crossing creeks and marsh’s on my dad’s shoulders,hunting ducks and pheasants, ,58-60 years ago , he’ll never forget these trips with you, I m 66 and I remember like it was yesterday, and I miss me dad
It sounds like you have some wonderful memories of back then Henry. I am glad we could walk down memory lane with you. Best wishes and stay safe my friend. 😊
Happy memories! I am 72 now but still enjoy fishing trips with my family including my 5year old granddaughter.thanks for a great video
They are wonderful times aren't they Peter. 😊
I hope that little James, once he is fully grown, will remember these outings with dad as fondly as I remember the horse riding excursions I used to do with my father, chasing wild bores in the Mediterranea pine forests of the (then) wild Maremma, the area of Tuscany where the Italian cow-boys called "Butteri" though a lesson to Buffalo Bill - In 1890, Buffalo Bill took his Wild West show to Rome and northern Italy (during his tour of Europe) to display cowboy skills, such as the capture of young cattle and the taming of wild horses. Unimpressed, the Italian cowboys (the butteri) led by Augusto Imperiali challenged Buffalo Bill and his show to a contest of skill. As the story is told, the butteri proved far more experienced than the Buffalo Bill troupe, and the national moment of glory for the butteri was savored for many years.
I have heard and read this story also! But it went the other way. Maremma cowboys were only marginally to moderately successful at trying to do it. Either way I agree its times like these that you remember the most as you get older....
PS I would tend to take the story with a grain of salt.
@@MrLobstermeat Sorry to disagree with you. As born and raised in the heart of Maremma, I have ample documentation of each event of that famous encounter and the final outcome is as I described above. Trust me.
@@padi5star Trust me I was not trying to dispute your story. Just saying I heard both stories. That's why I said I would take it with a grain of salt.
one of my first memories when i was a kid was my dad taking me on the coast when i was about jamese age and it always stuck with me that day because i knew someting was wrong with my dad , was his last time taking me fishing before he pissed off . enjoy your time with james hes gonna grow too fast m8
@Ryan davis - I am weak!!🤣🤣🤣
Father and son outings are the best - many lessons to be learned. Take it all in because they grow up faster than you think. Enjoy absolutely every moment. Cheers.
There are some things you just can't learn at school. 😊
I just love the interaction between you two. James is so lucky to have a dad like you...true love 🙂
I have been waiting since before James was born to share these things with him. 😊👍🏻
Brilliant video with your trusty sidekick! And what a Wrasse! I'll bet you weren't expecting that size! well done 🎣👍
Thanks Martin, I love spending time with James like this, sadly right now we are safer keeping him at home. Wrasse fishing in winter is very hit and miss, when you do find them they are often the better Fish though.
@@TheFishLocker absolutely for the little lad....what a laugh he has with you though 🎣🐟👍. stay safe all of you
@@TheFishLocker - John - I was surprised that you didn't take him home for dinner but the Wrasse may be out of season. Stay safe and healthy.
Last time I was this early, those fish were still fry~
Looks like James is giving your poor ears a break; hope you all are staying safe and well. God Bless!
That's why I put my hat on Alexis. Ha ha 🤣
Hi John and young James
I enjoyed your walk/amble today,
The Ballan wrasse you caught was an absolute knock-out of a fish, the colours were magical, not something most people would think sits in the bank side gullies
Thankyou for taking us along with you on a days outing together, and James your giggles are from your toes upward and pure innocence.
Take care stay safe and keep it lit.👍 my friend.
You cannot help but smile when you hear the little man laugh can you. 😊💙
Im just finished watching a video of a father and son bonding and creating memories.
I remember doing the same sort of things with my father. It is a pleasure to see a person interacting so completely natural. When we see so many plastic people its nice to see a normal person in a woolly Touk.( Canadian term)
Thank you for making my afternoon buddy.
I am simply sharing what we love doing. Nothing flashy, nothing for camera. Simple and honest - the way I feel life should be. Take care Ian and best wishes to your family. 😊
I would've fallen right off that wall arouond the stone house. Also, growing up where I did, I learned about layering clothing early on like James is. My dad always used to tell me, "You can take it off, but you can't put it on." meaning, if you don't have it with you, and you get cold, tough luck.
That is a brilliant lesson for people to learn early on. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. 😉
One lucky little boy to have such a father. My respect :)
We are simply sharing what we love doing. 😊
Sometimes it's not about the fishing................It's about the family! GREAT VIDEO!
( but its usually about the fishing!! 😉🤣🎣 )
Another lovely few minutes of rich, peaceful, positive content. Above the din of news day to day chaos, James giggling brought a smile to my face. Note to self.... buy a pole and get out more!
You cannot help but smile when you hear his little laugh can you. 😊💙
Dad and his boy having a laugh sliding down shingle banks! Does it get any better than that! :-)
Like I keep saying to people in our videos, it truly is the simple things in life that bring the most pleasure. 😊
That James is so adorable and smart. You are such an awesome dad. Fabulous day. Thanks. Stay safe and God Bless.
He is just a little treasure isn't he Sandra. 😊
Thanks John & James, I too love the smell of fresh washed up seaweed, takes me right back to my early days in Cornwall. I love the location of today’s video!!! Wow what a bruiser of a wrasse! Wonderful colours John. You have now got some great marks for future fishing/snorkelling! even swimming for young James!! Love his knowledge of the anemones in the rock pools!! Safety First is a must and thanks for advising everybody. Thank you both for a lovely trip out, it’s much appreciated. PS love your hair shampoo mate!!! Be safe Graham🎣🎣👍👍🐠🐠🐠
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Graham, Best wishes and stay safe. 😊
Excellent time spent looking for pastures new. James enjoyed his time with his dad!!....treasure the moments as they go so quickly....mines now 22!!!
Simply sharing what we enjoy doing mate. While he is still small enough to go on my shoulders 😉
You and your family, your videos and your zest for life makes this whole world a better place.Thank you john.
We are simply trying to share a little positivity through our videos Brian. 😊
Hey John, when I was a younger man, I carried my children around on my shoulders. Enjoys those great days. :-)
Yes I can't do it with our teenager anymore. 🤣
Absolutely brilliant video, what a great dad you are, James can only flourish under your guidance.
I do enjoy the walks and a bit of history and also sharing the knowledge that you have.
I have learned alot by watching you channel.
Be safe.
Many thanks and kind regards Chris
It is our pleasure Chris, I'm glad you enjoyed joining us. 😊
Another winner from the dynamic duo just love the history and view's and a bonus fabulous wrasse, and looks like superstar is learning from his dad he will remember these times with affection 🙂
He'll be leading the show before long. 😊
More a lesson in Fathership than a Fishing Vid John.
I wish my Kids were that age again.
Still I've got one of the Grandkids Fishing already ;)
and he's loving it :)
Bless your Hearts.
Just sharing what we love doing Paul. Nothing better than time out on the shore like this. 😊
Fantastic video with your trusty sidekick. Fun & laughter, a cracking wrasse. A pleasure to watch and warming. Thankyou both.👌
Thank you Stephen it is our pleasure to share the day with you. 😊
Great to see James and yourself spending quality time together. Best wishes to the Fishlocker Family!
He can't help but steal the show can he Nathan. 🤣
Cracking wrasse John, how lucky you are to live in a place where you can catch fish like that without even trying!! James is lucky too, to have adventures like that with his father, I used to take my boys everywhere with me for little adventures like that, you must cherish every moment that you have with the little fella, they grow up so quickly!! Watching this reminded me of those times I had with my kids when they were younger with great fondness, they still come fishing occasionally or we'll have a walk in the woods exploring but they have so many other distractions in life!! I didn't think I would ever describe a fishing video as heart warming, I must be going soft in my old age lol!! All the best pal & look after yourself & your precious family.
It's being cooped up in the house that's doing it to you mate. You big softie. 😉😛 Take care of yourself and your family mate and I'll see you later. 👍🏻🎣
One of my earliest memories is my dad his mate and me. At Bamburgh they were fishing the rocks using limpets and pulled out an enormous wrasse. Like the one in this vid. (Ballan wrasse?) amazing. To me it was 8 foot long.
Now my point is. That was over 50 years ago. So it’s great to watch you and the little un recreating my memories. (To me at least) he’s a star mate. Gonna be a proper lad. Enjoyed the trip. Atb. 👍 🎣
Every fish that you catch after that first one never seems to
Measure up to it....
Like you this year is 50 yrs since a caught my first fish with my late father
But i still fish that same place ..about the same time of year...
Using a handline like i did back then....
And catch fish but never as big as that first fish was ...😉
I am glad that we could walk down memory lane with you Andy. Take care and stay safe mate. 😊
Great bonding session with the young in John brings back memories that little lad is gonna grow up just like his daddy your teaching him young.Now that’s what you call a wrasse gonna need a bigger boat !!!!😂😂take care and stay safe to you and the family 🏴🏴🏴👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If I have anything to do with James, he will grow up to be much better than I am. 😊
The best double act on UA-cam! In this crap time we live in, what a fantastic tonic you and the best little camera man are.
I do truly hope that our videos may help during these difficult times. Best wishes and stay safe. 😊
Looked like a cracking day out (father & son ,time) reminds of times spent with my father & g/father.
good memories came flooding back .thank you for that John & James. cracking wrasse btw, you do have a most wonderful & rich coastline .
Once again thank you for helping me to remember some good times .
It sounds like you have some wonderful memories. I am glad we could walk with you down memory lane. 😊
Nice day out and more great memories made for you and your son. Beautiful. Take care on those rocks!
Thank you Kevin, glad you enjoyed joining us. 😊
Excellent sortie John & James, well done on the big Ballan. Really great to share your laughs & fun. 👌👏👏
I'm glad you enjoyed joining in Simon. 😊
Boogies in the hair--A new Cornish Hair Style Trend!! LOL!! Sweet John!! DmGrk
Remember, you saw it here first. 🤣😛
Letting James "re arrange" the beach made me giggle out loud, lovely video, and so soon after the last one, love them all. 👍
Thank you very much Simon, we upload as frequently as we can. I understand that some people are struggling right now and that the videos can sometimes help. 😊
Gotta love James rearranging the beach in this one!
He is a little star isn't he. 😊
James is getting so big and mature. So much braver, you are doing good Dad! Live wrasse fishing. When you said That looks wrassy, I was saying the same. Limpets are great bait, tough and easy to find. Stay safe.
I agree mate, limpets are a great tough Wrasse bait. 😉👍🏻🎣
💜💜💜👍👍👍👍🐟🐟🐟🐟 lovely wrasse 👍👍👍👍. Lovely day making memories with James👍👍👍
We had a wonderful day. 😊
what a wonderful trip with your boy. looks like loads of fun for him, great memories made
We always have a great time Ben. Simply sharing what we love doing. 😊
After a tough day this video bought a smile to my face. Seeing you and James out was a real treat.
I am glad that we may share a little bit of happiness with you mate. 😊
Great video, i really enjoyed your interaction with little James, great stuff.
He’s my best boy
If every boy had a Dad half the man you are John this would be a much better world. Bless you and your boy!
I am simply doing my best, like so many other parents out there. 😊
James! Seriously my favorite fishing buddy and camera assistant! Dude's grown so much! Love the teleportation! Excellent wrasse! What a lunker!
James just cannot help but steal the show can he. 😊
@@TheFishLocker, he's making a job of it, I think!
Thoroughly enjoyable video of father and son bonding time.....
I am glad you enjoyed joining us mate. 😊
What a life young James gets to lead! All fun and adventures, and learning stuff! Wonderful!
We are simply making the most of what we have and trying to do our best. 😊
You guys make me smile everytime, natural flow! Keep it up John.
Thank you Rik and best wishes. 😊
brilliant video as always John with your trusty right hand man. That wrasse was awesome. james is very lucky to have such a wonderful father like you
I am simply doing my best Andrew. Like so many other parents out there. 😊
What a most enjoyable video 😊 this made me smile from start to finish...what a fantastic family you are,and that WRASS flippin heck John didn't expect that...what a beautiful fish....my eyes just lit up ..😲... wow 👌🎣all the very best 🌱🌱🌱💕
She was a cracking Wrasse wasn't she. Winter wrasse are hard to find but often it sorts out the better fish. 😊
What a nice and touching video, where the beauty of the place matches the tender report between James and you. Take care John.
I am glad you could join us Nicola. 😊
@@TheFishLocker I am glad too John :-)
I came for the fishing and stayed for the teleporting. Another great video!
It really is the best way to travel. 😉
Charlie 6 said that fish was amazing. Bobby said that was one big fish daddy. Great fun fishing wrass John. Great day out.
I'm glad you and the boys enjoyed the video mate. 😊
Well done mate, another great watch, the markings on that Wrasse were stunning. Great to see James and yourself on another adventure.
She was a stunning Wrasse wasn't she. I love getting out and about with James like this. I can't wait till things are safer and we can get out and about. 😊
Had a lovely picnic on that beautiful little cove a few years ago 🌱🌱🌱💕
It is a stunning little spot isn't it Joyce. 😊
Precious times with your boy! He’s an absolutely cracking lad! Thanks for the content, enjoyable as always 🎣🎣
I have honestly been waiting since before James was born to share these things with him. 😊💙
What a lovely Father-Son venture! I enjoyed every seconds of it and my toddler son did too! Sensational .
I hope you and your son enjoy similar adventures. 😊
Thank you for these! Glad to see you and James back in action!
It is our pleasure Jodelina. Have a lovely day. 😊
That’s a lovely video again John and yes it’s a good place for snorkelling in summer and very good for spinning in the summertime
It is isn't it Adrian. 😉
Absolutely beautiful video John. Father and son time at it’s best 👍🏼
Couldn't agree more. 😊
Thanks John for another excellent video mate I love it when younger is out fishing with you stay safe .George Stoke 👍🎣
It is our pleasure George. Best wishes to you and your family and stay safe. 😊
Hey John and James,wow what a fun time you guys had.i was in stitches when James landed on his bum and you sniggered and said don't trust any one.i hope you got all those boogers out of your hair...😂😂😂 Eventually.what a mighty wrasse you brought in.was not expecting that monster.what a fabulous piece of coastline.also bet that owl was just as scared.thanks for a wonderful video.tite lines as always.
All in a days adventure Michael. PS. The screech that the Owl let out nearly defeated me as well. haha.
Great video once again love watching the fish locker 👍🎣🎣🎣
It is our pleasure Carl. 😊
What a beauty you caught! I’m most jealous of the teleporting.
It is a very handy trick to know. 😊
Looked like a lovely day out, what a cracking Wrasse.
It was a great day and yes a fantastic Wrasse. 😊
Lovley father and son video :) stunning wrasse and beautiful surroundings :) cheers for a fab Sunday video :)
My pleasure mate. It is a stunning spot round here, even better in the summer 😉
@@TheFishLocker may have to get Chris to chaparone me down!!!!
That's a wonderfully colored fish. Thanks for the video. It made me happy.
It is our pleasure, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Best wishes to you and your family and have a lovely evening. 😊
@@TheFishLocker thank. you have a nice day.
Great to have some dad/son bonding. Another Great video John👍👍
I love spending time with him like this. 😊
I love the interaction you have with James. I try to do the same with my girls as often as possible. Get them outside and exploring.
That is the best way isn't it Joshua. Somethings they just can't learn in doors. 😊
What a wonderful father and son expedition !!!
I am glad you enjoyed joining us Andy. 😊
Cheers John....another great video.....cracking wrasse that was 👌👍❤️
My pleasure mate. 😊
Outstanding. What a whopper wrasse! Well done father and son!!
Thanks Darren, tight lines mate. 😊
Well done men, lovely fish. Always time well spent when out and about with the boys 👍
As you say Ken, always time well spent. 😉
Great to see such a stunning wrasse and lovely to see you and James having fun.
I love spending time with him like this he's such a character. 🤣
Haha! What a fun day! I want a transporter to hop around those rocks, too! James did a good job handling the camera, and his laughs just melt my heart. I'm looking forward to the diving videos in that area. Looks like a fun adventure awaits! (Man, I wish I was there to dive, too. Oh wait, I will be, through your videos!) Thanks again for another great video! :)
You cannot help but smile when you hear him laugh can you. 😊💙
Beauty of a Wrasse 👌 never thought about using limpets good idea 💡
Just think about what they're eating naturally mate. Prawns, crabs and anything living on the rocks. 😉
@@TheFishLocker Cheeper than a Fiiish Minnow also haha 🤣
Two videos on the same weekend. You really are spoiling us John 😄
It's been a rough weekend for folks. I hope it helps. 😊
LOVED this video with young James learning alongside a patient father. I think he has a future as your cameraman. 😉
Lori, it won't be long before he's in front of the camera and I'm just holding it. 😊
Well I feel truly spoilt two great videos one after the other. Saved this one for my night time insomnia and as always thoroughly enjoyed it. What a splendid Wrasse (Caught on the things we don't like to eat) beautiful colours and markings. James identifying the anemones before his dad did (he needs a bit more practice skimming stones) As always a great video, lovely coastal scenery thanks for posting.
Ha ha yeah Dave, I will definitely choose feeding them to Wrasse over eating them myself. Skimming stones takes practice doesn't it mate. 😉
That was a wanderful adventure John,thanks for taking us along.!!
Is my pleasure Ed, I'm glad you could join us 😊
Thanks Jon, great to join you and James on this little adventure.....and what a cracking wrasse, the colours never fail to impress. James is a great lad, and watching you together you can see why, you’re giving him a great life.
I am glad you enjoyed joining us Nigel. Take care and stay safe mate. 😊
I'll tell ya, I would prefer that candy tin over a hibachi. It definitely seems to cook faster, plus it would be the ticket if you were camping and it started to rain. That little boy is quite the COMEDIAN!🤣 Bless his heart!
Works perfectly doesn't it Tim. 😊
Eh up John grand to see young James out and about with you, fantastic catch unbelievable how large fish still swim our waters, even where industry has made it's scars. Keep well and safe and love to the family x
Nature is amazingly resilient Nick. Best wishes to you and your family mate. 😊
James is amazing, just a wonderful kid. Cant wait to see you both snorkeling and having fun. You are blessed with a wonderful family.
I can't wait for the summer. 😊💙
Great video John. I like that you pointed out the local land marks and their purpose, very interesting. Looks like the young man had a good day out ☺. Ya know I too really like the smell of fresh seaweed on the beach especially straight after a storm and the sea is still heavy making a sea spray. That smell really reminds me of my childhood. Great times 😊
I absolutely agree with you Gary, fresh and with salt still in the air. Perfect. 😊
@@TheFishLocker I tell ya I miss that smell so much right now. Stuck in a nationwide travel lockdown, 90 miles away from the sea when I can only travel 5km 😒. At least I have some big loughs on my doorstep for pike and perch with the trout season starting next month.
In just under a year since I found the fish locker, hasn’t James grown a lot, he is a wonderful boy,a real credit to Hannah and yourself,
I cherish the times I took my twins boys fishing ,
It’s kept me sane finding your channel, 🎣👍
I will videos are a wonderful look back to when James was younger. I am glad you have enjoyed joining with Steve. 😊
Now that’s a great day walking around mate👍 I don’t know what it is, but I really love walking by the sea on that kind of rocks. We don’t have many places here like that but further up north where my fam are from, there is lots of places like that. AND we could find all sorts of stuff that had been washed up on chore.😃 I must say, James 😂 and he have found you a new hairstyling product 🤣🤣 Now that wrasse was huge mate, and what beautiful colors on it. Stunning 👍 Have a good one and take care✌️
I love it too mate. This is literally what my childhood was like, out exploring with my brothers sisters and cousins every day on the shore in the woods. Take care of yourself my friend and stay safe. 😊
Hi John, Great Father and son Video, and what a fantastic Wrasse, never caught one that big before so well done, I have been lucky to have fished in many parts of the world, it is hard to find a better coloured, pretty, and hard fighting fish pound for pound that a Wrasse. Cheers Ian
I keep telling people about Wrasse. A good specimen is hard to beat anywhere in the world. 😊
Nothing like catching big wrasse and boogies in ur hair. Means the day was amazing. James is totally at home out there. Our boys would have had to be chained to my wrist. Fabulous video on a fabulous day out!
Oh for sure, a good day out has to have some bogies in hair. James is really good and sensible in that type of situation, I put it down to the fact that we have had him out there with us since he was old enough to walk. 😊
My mom and dad had me out camping and fishing etc. Since I was 2 months old! She would have never had seen dad if she didn't go along with me and my brother Danny!!! 😆
Wish they were still here.🥀
Them Wrasse you catch really are beautiful.
Winter wrasse fishing is often hard work, but when you do find them they are stunning. 😊
Very very hard to find around Norfolk. Thanks mate
Beautiful Day! Thank you for sharing that amazing day with us! Takes me out of the snow and dark of the cold Canadian Arctic for 26 minutes of wonder and beauty and just a different landscape to appriciate!
I am glad you enjoyed joining us Rae. It is our pleasure to share our adventures with you. 😊
Brilliant mate, nice to see you both having some time together
Cheers Melv, I love spending time with him out and about like this. 😊
Another great video John . Beautiful scenery , James is growing quick .
He is isn't he. 😊
Cracking Wrasse that John.
Cheers Paul. 😊
Another good video John And James and what a beast of a wrasse that was.
Thank you very much mate. 😊
Fantastic man and family.
Love the way you talking about things.
Will wach it again later.
Have a good week.
I am glad that you are enjoying our videos. 😊
Well done james . A budding filmmaker in the making .
He did a fantastic job didn't he. 😊
Another great video and a cracking wrasse. That's a great wee lad of yours.
Thanks Anthony. 😊
A brilliant father & son outing. You'll both remember these outings for the rest of your lives. It's amazing how the lessons learned will stick in James mind. My son is now 9, and quotes lessons learned from back when he was 4-5. Keep up the awesome DadAdventures 😎
What's even better James is I will have these videos when I'm too old to remember. 😊
Brilliant, wee James always looks to be having a blast!!
He is just a little treasure isn't he. Always with a happy smile. 😊
James's laughter is the cure for many ills.
Thanks once again for bringing us along...that's a nifty teleportation trick. ;)
You cannot help but smile when you hear him chuckle can you. 😊
Your son is an amazing cameraman!! Sending my hellos from Ireland!
He is a little superstar isn't he Robert. 😊
