- Coastal Foraging - Lobster, Spider Crab and many others. Taking advantage of great tides I did some coastal foraging. Finding many species of crab, lobster, anemones and seaweeds.

Just want to say thanks for the great video's. You make the kind of video's that I watch and re-watch again. Keep up the good work. Hope you and your lovely family are well. Take care
You'll have to buy yourself some full height waders 👍👍👍👍👍
Liam Tube - Liam, don’t pay trolls like that any notice. He was just out for causing drama. You can spot them a mile off when you look at their page/channel profile. New account, no videos, no info, no pictures. Leaves argumentative comments. TROLL. 👋🏻
@@TheFishLocker ~ Thanks John. I'm just going to remove my previous comment now. You offer such a wealth of knowledge and experience on this channel. We're lucky to have it. Keeping it positive. Thanks mate!

this lad is AAAAAAA☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
genuine straight lad who does some really informal easy watch niiice vids 😘😚😚😚
Why hasnt his channel exploded by now? He deserves waaay more views. Very educational and relaxing.
Like if you agree🙏
- I don't know Francisca, it might be because we haven't "chased it" we don't aggressively publicise, we don't name drop or cause a big drama about LIKES and SUBS. We have always just cared about the content and sharing what we love doing. That is enough for us. :D
Should be on main stream TV, puts Countryfile and other nature/fishing programmes in the shade, with the exception of Attenborough. I love Fishlockers videos 👍🦞🦀🎣
Way better at it then his loudmouth competition. Real.
Exactly, could not agree more 🎣
I've been saying the same thing for a while now. He's so knowledgeable about everything... I think once he gets one good video that goes viral, and more people see how cool the channel is, it'll explode.
This is the best POV content on the internet .
Change my mind
I love how much knowledge you have about foraging, very much appreciated
- I am really glad that you enjoy our content so much. I think of it ( and talk to the camera ) like I have friend with me and I am just talking about the stuff we like doing. :D
Yamaguchi Bear - Haha. I’m glad you said when he was younger. Yes I know him. 👍🏻
Absolutely love how you've just kept that speargun spear you randomly found.
Makes for a good Crustacean poking stick 😂
Yes! I found that funny too
Waste not what not
@TankGuy3 Lets keep Lobster-Lander
One mans trash is another's treasure
I love this guy. Hes so concerned with protecting the resource and conserving the animals. Hes always very careful to take only the ones that are legal, and only the ones he needs without doing damage to any other creatures. Excellent. Fun, entertaining and so educational. He makes sure to always instill good practices in people.
- I truly hope that our videos will encourage more people to take an interest in the natural world and how better to care for it. The safety aspect of that is also an important point. Best wishes to you and your family Victoria and have a great day. 😊🦞🦀🐚🌿
This man with his knowledge could take over National Geographic and make it miles better.
Let’s hope they catch on quickly 😉
I use your videos to calm myself and fall asleep, they are so calming. You explained everything and the sound of the sea and wind is so meditating
- I am so very glad that we are able to help bring you peace Niko. Especially during these stressful times. Take care. :)
the amount of respect that I have for this man is unbelievable i watch these to help me relax love what your doing i hope you are staying safe
Thank you Emily, I'm glad that you're enjoying the videos. Have a great weekend.
I love how you share your respect and enthusiasm for the coastal areas you explore. You educate as well as entertaining - and I never fail to be enthralled! Thank you for taking time and care over your content. Definitely one of, if not, the best on YT! Much love to you and your family xxx
- Thank you Liz, I truly hope that our videos will encourage more people to take an interest in the natural world and how better to care for it. 😊🦞🦀🐚🌿
The respect you have for sea life is amazing😊🙏🏾
- We are simply sharing what we love doing. I truly hope that our videos encourage more people to take an interest in the natural world around them - and how to better care for it. ;)
Love the way you respect the wildlife. Wish more folks would be like that.
- I truly hope that our videos will encourage more people to take an interest in the natural world and how better to care for it. 😊🦞🦀🐚🌿
Thank you for including us in your walks and identifying the various things you find along the way. Have a wonderful weekend!
You're very welcome, you too!
- Lilias it is our pleasure to share with you our videos and activities. Best wishes to you and your family and welcome to our channel. :D
🦀🐚
Quite simply the respect you have for the flora and fauna associated with the coast, combined with your knowledge, is educational and humbling 👍
- Thank you Sean, we are simply sharing what we know and love doing. I truly hope that our videos will encourage more people to take an interest in the natural world and how better to care for it. 😊🦞🦀🐚🌿
I cry because you’re such a gentle soul 🥺
Errrrrr thanks?! I hope they’re tears of joy 🤷🏼♀️
Thanks mate. Always great to watch your videos.
- It is our pleasure to share them with you. 😊
this channel has become one of my favorites when it has come to coastal foraging along with craig evans and smash fishing.
- Yeah, Craig really knows his stuff. :)
I don't understand why anyone would dislike your videos, they're amazing!
I’m guessing it’s jealousy or fat thumbs 🤷🏼♀️
Once again you are fantastic. Land locked Indiana boy loving all you do.
- Thank you Nik. As I keep saying, it is our pleasure to share our videos with you. 😊👍🏻🦞🐚🌿
This video is very wholesome. like how he gets so excited about every anemone, it gets me excited too!
- I am glad that you enjoy our videos. 😊👍🏻
Another ripper mate. Can’t wait to see your snorkeling foraging vids. Thanks again. stay safe.
- As soon as the conditions allow it mate. I'll be out!!
I wouldn't mind quarantine with your skills sir. Great job! Greetings to your beautiful beloved family!
- You didn't see us panic buying thats for sure. ;) Take care my friend. :)
@@TheFishLocker instead panic buying you should panic coast forge... That would make us all happy lol.
Great video once again. I enjoyed our walk on the beach!
- Thank you Teresa. I am glad that you could join me. 😊
Everyone talks about how pretty the Caribbean and the tropics are, but I think it's just as beautiful where you are at. Love all the seaweed and snakelocks.
- Grady, I absolutely agree with you. On a good day there is no better place than spots in Cornwall or the North York Moors. :D
I could watch these all day.. your sense of conservation, education and adventure is awesome!
- Thank you very much. We are simply sharing what we love doing. I truly hope that our video encourage more people to take an interest in the natural world around them - and how better to care for it. :D
You certainly know your stuff John and how you remember the names of all the different species of seaweeds and anemones ...look forward to your next upload.
Stay safe.
- Its because I'm a bit of a freak mate. Haha. Couldn't tell you what day it is though. lol. :P
Thank you Thank you Thank you!! A breath of fresh air in a very stressful time! I have been watching your videos with enjoyment, you are able to impart your obvious love of where you live with us, and sharing the pleasure of walking and discovering the abundance of life both on shore, and in the water. As a disabled angler, you remind me of all the happy times I spent bent over looking through rockpools, and collecting bait, equally as enjoyable as the actual fishing was!! It's a pleasure watching you.
- David it is our pleasure to be able to share our videos with you and welcome to our channel. Best wishes and stay safe 😊👍🏻
I can watch these videos all day. So relaxing!
- I am the same when I am out on the shore. I could literally stay there all day and not know where my day went. Haha
i saw your profile pic and i actually thought omg google
Pure escapism. So pleased things have eased enough to allow you back out John. I hope the family is are safe an well.
I’m so glad mike. It’s great to be out and about again. Hope you’re keeping well 🦀👌🏼
@@TheFishLocker We are Sir!! ;-)
You’ve done it again my friend! What an amazing experience this video put me through! Keep up the fantastic work my friend! Your video makes me feel I’m out there foraging with ya! Cheers my friend! Happy days to ya!
- Thank you so much, it really is our pleasure to be able to share our passion with you all. 😊👍🏻🦞🦀
That was like a work out for my eyes. On these outings my eyes are looking everywhere. Thanks John.
- I am glad that we can share our adventures with you. 🦀🦞🌿😊
Another great piece of filming John. I’m suffering with hip pain at the moment and watching this has put me in good mood. Thanks mate.
I hope it gets better soon Keith. I’m glad we can provide some entertainment 🎣 🦀
Good video per usual. Such a beautiful spider crab. Very pointy
- Thank you Selena. Those spiders can get huge. We do get some absolute monsters sometimes. 😊🦀
Thanks a lot John, sign of a good vlog When the time zooms by, lol:-) :-)
- Time flies when you’re having fun mate. That’s what I’m like out on the shore.😉
These videos make my soul happy
- I’m am sorry pleased to hear this 😊
I love your foraging video's. They are so calming and interesting.
- Thank you, I fell the same about when Im out on the shore. :D
Out of all the videos I watch, I have to say I love yours the most for Foraging. You explain everything in such detail, that I now can follow along as you find things, and when I am looking at other videos, I know now what others are looking at. It's been such a wonderful time following along in all your foraging adventures, and makes me miss being out by the sea and lakes so much. I really appreciate the effort you put into letting people know what they are looking at, if its edible, how to find it, the varying stages of their lives, ect. I also appreciate your care for the varying species you find, and how you take time to make sure they are back in a safe place. Thank you so much for taking your time to share these with us all. Been a long time watcher, but always to shy to post, but figured I may as well.
- Thank you very much for the kind words and for reaching out. I do appreciate it. I am sorry it has taken me so long to get to your comment. I have been out at sea a lot over the past few days. It is my pleasure to share our passion for the shore with you. I am glad that you enjoy our videos. Best wishes to you and your family and take care. :D
Every trip you do gives new views. It's such a lovely way to appreciate the beauty and bounty of nature. It's amazing every time you see it.
(you could do these videos 50 times of the same place and new things could occur and be shown. I'm down for that kind of thing - seeing both the adversity and stillness off nature)
- That is one of the wonderful things about the shore and the sea that I have been trying to tell people. I have been doing this my entire life and I still see and learn new things every time I go out. I love it. :D
@@TheFishLocker I wish I had a shore-line like yours to explore, but I don't. But after this corona-business - I'll try to get out there on my local shore and see, what there is to see, when I have the time to do so. It's a marvel regardless if you harvest something or not... :)
I enjoy your videos so much. I love how respectful you are to these creatures. And am jealous because i wish I lived somewhere I could go catch lobbies and oysters and clammys! You rock!
- Thank you so much. - I truly hope that our videos will encourage more people to take an interest in the natural world and how better to care for it. 😊🦞🦀🐚🌿
Me and the Mrs really enjoyed this one John. Homemade Victoria Sandwich cake and homemade elderflower wine. Take care mate.
Nice one! Glad that you both enjoyed it. Have a wonderful weekend.
I love your narration. Learning a lot.
Thanks Victor. I’m
Glad you enjoy sharing our lives 🐚🐚
Brilliant as ever, keep the vids going
- Thank you Jane, we will try. :)
Superb great videos 🥰🍪💥👍🏴
- Thank you Stephen. Take care. 😊
This is i call "lovely day"
So beautiful things you can see and do,
I hope one day visit this place and enjoying and do exploring .
I enjoyed this video
Thank you
💐💐
- Thank you H, it is our pleasure to be able to share these videos with you. :)
@@TheFishLocker I feel spoiled 😁✌
Finding your channel has been the highlight of my quarantine. Thank you
- I am glad that we can share our videos with you John. I truly hope that our videos are providing a positive and educational distraction for folks during this difficult time.
21:48 is just the wee lobster waving to the camera!
- Haha. Yeah. :D
Lobster-heyyy new family
Such a lovely clear-water day! Spider crabs are really cool creatures, but they used to seriously creep me out as a kid!
- Haha. Our son isn’t a fan of them either. They can be a pain when fishing but are pretty cool.
I never clicked on a video so fast in my life, I love your videos
- I hope you enjoyed it. :)
Another well made and very informative video,thanks again for taking the time to make these and educate people like myself,cheers!
- It’s our pleasure Dean. I truly hope that our videos will encourage more people to take an interest in the natural world and how better to care for it. 😊🦞🦀🐚🌿
I got so excited when the notification popped up. You made my day.
I'm so glad! I hope you have a great weekend.
@@TheFishLocker Have a great weekend and stay safe!
Once again another great video! Thankyou from the other side of the world! 🙏
- It is our pleasure Atiria. 😊
That guy from smash fishing needs to watch and learn how to handle sealife and handle them with care .your videos are so much more enjoyable to watch as you dont dig everything out
- Thank you Nigel. I am glad that you can see what is the better way to do things. I even tried to offer him some advice a few months back, he just got sh*tty with me via PM and blocked me. Shows the measure of the man.
I started to watch another Fishing channel and I just couldn’t continue. That guy was so mean to the sea life. John
is so very respectful of not only the sea creatures but plants as well. ❤️🇨🇦
Joanne Ash - I think I know who you mean. Quite a loud character. Yes, I think it’s clear to see who cares and has the knowledge and who simply wants to be UA-cam famous 😉
Thats upsetting that he wouldnt take your help... see so many people comment about how great you are on his youtube channel 😂
Another fantastic video, thanks, John.
You’re welcome. Thank you for coming along with us. 🦀🎣👌🏼
I hit the jackpot today with giant spider crab several pots were full
- I've had a couple of smaller ones in my pots. I need to make a top entry pot instead of the soft eyed. Ive caught more on rod and line that in the pots!! Haha.
@@TheFishLocker Top entry will get you those 5lb 6lb crab
Yet another excellent video. Your seashore tours are definitely a highlight of this lockdown. Thanks again.
Thanks Ritchie. I’m
Glad they are well received 🎣🦀
*"the back legs are always like chuchuchuchu"*- some random guy on a beach
- Haha.
Another great video an forage. Loved the anemone's and the slow worm was a nice addition.
Thank you, glad that you enjoyed it Paul.
21: 48 the lobster really just gon salute like dat 😭😳
- Haha. Cheeky! 🦞
Fantastic knowledge. I've said it before, this is the best content on UA-cam.
I’m glad you think so. Thanks for tuning in 🎣🐚
Those who know will recognise the spear
- You mean my lucky foraging spear? 😉
I love watching your channel. I am in the US in Georgia. Your lessons on the coast make me want to move to Cornwall. My daughter has been able to start identify sea weed because of your teaching. Thank you.
- That is wonderful that you and your daughter find our content so informative. Best wishes to you both. 😊🌿
That lizard was the best find of the day apart from the lobster 🦞 🤣🤣
- She was a cutie wasn't she. We used to find them as kids. I even kept one as a pet for a while. The lobster was a beauty too. :D
Thank you for taking us with your for this walk. We have been stuck at home for more than a month now and your videos help keep me connected to the outside! Going to the beach and looking at the the diverse marine life is one of my favorite summer activites. In my part of the world, we look for our sea urchins, rock fish and make sure that we don't step on the corals.
- We love being by the shore and searching in the rockpools. Hopefully you will be able to get out soon. 🤞🏻😊
15:40: it's exactly the same kind of mouth one sees on tarantulas, with the exception that they have long poison fangs whereas a lobster hasn't.
I hope everything is ok with your boy. I discovered the video wherein you describe his condition a bit late in the day. The very first time I saw you with your family on the beach it struck me how pale he looked. Regards from Ostend!
- Thank you Hubert, we are all doing ok and all under 1 roof now so much happier. Take care sir and have a nice day. :)
You are a role model in the fishing and foraging communities, thank you for being so awesome!!
Thank you for watching Ian, I'm so glad that you're enjoying the content. Have a good weekend.
- Thank you Ian. We are simply sharing what we know and love doing. I truly hope that our videos help to encourage more people to take an interest in the natural world, and how to care for it. Take care and have a great weekend. :)
I knew I recognized that spear.
- You mean Spike. My lucky foraging spear. :D
another gem well done mucker and no doubt larry will taste fantastic.
- Cheers Bob. Take it easy mate. 😊🦞
@@TheFishLocker .you to mucker be lucky.
"ah, some stunning anemone mate"
- So much wonderful life in those small pools. :)
The Fish Locker we need more stunning anemone!!
you're spoiling us with all these coastal foraging videos! thank you !!
- When the tides are right we go foraging. :)
13:33 The seaweed underneath the lobster look like seatbelts lmao
Haha!!
Another great video. Your knowledge is outstanding and it makes your videos so watchable. Thank you Team Fishlocker for your content.
Thanks for watching Bob. I hope we are keeping you entertained 🎣 🦀
I somehow missed your Q and A video, but I'm glad you're back at it again. I don't know how i can thank you enough for these. Always a pleasure seeing them.
- You don't need to thank us, we are simply sharing what we know and love doing. One thing you can do that we would really appreciate is if you think that any of your friends would enjoy the channel and videos. Share it on. :D
Great foraging video full of knowledge from start to finish
Stay safe
- Thank you Robert, I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😊

- Thanks James. I really do hope that our videos encourage folks to take an interest in the natural world around them. And how better to care for it. 😊🦀🐚🌿🦞
The knowledge you have, John fascinating to say the least, I love watching these videos.

Watching this now. All I can say is thank you kind sir.

Lovely walk - thank you 🦀✌🏼️
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 🦀 🐚
i hope people appreciate your respect for the creatures. there isn’t enough of it out there. it’s a seriously great and important message that there’s a gentle and respectful way to do things. good on you man
Thanks very much. We do get a lot of positive feedback on our handling of things. Let’s hope it catches on?! 🦀🐚
ive never tried coastal foraging nor looked at anything like this but since quarantine im hooked on videos like these and honestly these are the best most informative and really helping to the people who don't know much about it :)
I’m glad we have unearthed a new passion for you. 🎣 🦀
Your videos helps me calm down. 💞 I find it really therapeutic.
- I am glad that we can do that for you Gillian. 😊
I’ve never lived by the sea but every summer my family usually holidays in Brittany and we always see people out with buckets on the flats and rocks there. I remember when I was seven I helped a bunch of kids look for crabs and it was incredibly fun. Of course with things the way they are now we can’t go to Brittany this year but these videos have been really relaxing and fun to watch. I can’t stop! Reminds me so much of my time on the beach. I’ve been binging all your videos and love the way you always respect nature and aim to preserve it. Not to mention you and your family are some of the most genuine, sweetest people I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. You’re truly an inspiration.
- I am very glad that we could help to remind you of those happy memories. We love getting out and about on the shore as a family - but with the current situation it just isn't safe to have our children out and about like we would like. Welcome to our channel and I am so very glad to hear that you are enjoying working your way through our content. Best wishes and have a lovely day. :D
Having a long day at work. Decided your video would be a perfect way to relax and I was right. Thank you.
- I am glad that we can help you find some peace Kehvren. Take care. :)
Amazing! Love learning. Your little boy is adorable.
Thank you! He knows that he is
I really stay enchanted in seeing your lovely videos!!!
- Thank you so much. I am glad that you enjoy them. Please, if you feel that your friends would enjoy our videos - share them on to them. :D
I love your videos. I feel like you’re taking your viewers on a relaxing little adventure. So many treasures from the sea. So respectful of nature.
Thank you very much. I am glad that you enjoy the videos. 😊
Another GREAT video- thank you John. Well wishes from New Jersey :)
- Thank you Micheal. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Hi John,
Nice to meet again, nice video.
Clear water, black sky nice time to foraging.

Another great video. Just what I needed on a Saturday morning. Keep up the fantastic work John it is really appreciated. 👌
- Thanks Bazz, take it easy mate. 😉
Awesome stuff mate!
I really hope more people learn how fantastic foraging is!
Not only in water but everywhere.
The appreciation for nature is definitely something i hope to forward along to my kids once they get a bit older.
- Thank you Jacob, I really hope that our videos encourage people to take an interest in the natural world - and how better to care for it. It is something we are teaching our children, never take more than you need and always treat the natural world with respect and appreciation. :)
Really enjoy those foraging vids John even more than your fishing vids! Very diverse wildlife. You can even find spidercrabs there! Great stuff again

Excellent upload, thank you. I can't believe you're wearing Guy Cotten to look for crabs :)
- Haha. The forecast was rain on and off all day and this has watertight sleeves. 😉
Beautiful content! Another relaxing video. I loved the bonus legless lizard at the end, too! 🥰
