    My daughter caught two cracking mullet freelining sprats that we’d scavenged off the fish quay in Teignmouth. It was really exciting as it was sight fishing in crystal clear water. Biggest one must have been well over 5 pounds and tasted lovely. Fed four of us!

      @@slaneyside they’ll scavenge anything. We literally just cut strips off the sprats and pretty much buried the hook in it. Freelined it and the trick is wait until the fish turns away before setting the hook as they will mouth the bate a few times before making off with it. Get a good hookup in the corner of the mouth that way too. Fish stays on better than bread like most people use.

    Hi John, I've looked at your videos when you are out in deeper water using a float and wondered about how you rig it up when using braid and maybe a leader and what float stops you would use. depths and types of floats, locked leads or not I looking at doing a lot more float fishing from the boat in deeper water. Great videos thanks.

    • @TheFishLocker

    I grew up near the ocean so have always had a soft spot for it. Im travelling to falmouth in a few weeks towards the end of september. And as i was looking up coastal foraging, what to look for and whats available to forage for i came across your channel. Watched so many videos already. I was wondering if you had any advice about where to go in the falmouth and surrounding areas for lobster/crab/scallop hunting. Will be purchasing a small ocean rod and mayby even a small lobster/crab pot. I will also have access to a kayak. Thanks :)

    • @TheFishLocker

    Hello again from OZ, thanks for another great video John, I hope you don't mind but I have a question for you which is a little bit off the video subject. I've noticed that that neither you or another UK fishing channel I watch use electric anchor winches, I often fish alone & have quite severe back issues, I think I would really find it very difficult if not impossible to fish alone without my electric anchor winch & my electric boat/trailer winch. Is there a reason I don't see them used in the UK channels I watch ?, or are they more popular than I see.
    I always look forward to seeing your videos mate as it makes my week, as always tight lines & good health to The Fish Locker Family.

    • @TheFishLocker
      @TheFishLocker  4 роки тому

      - They are generally an expense that a lot of brits don't want to pay for. They are useful but not essential and a lot of the boats here in the UK, shall we say "are not the best" haha. So considering the anchor winch may cost £800. The boat itself by only be £1000.
