Sea Fishing UK - Bass, Gilthead Bream and a few surprises!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Estuary fishing can be great for those days when the weather doesn't allow you out to sea, both from the shore and the boat good fish can be found in shallow water. The rigs and baits I show you can be used from the shore also but work just as well from the boat. This is the culmination of a few sessions finally finding some Gilthead bream. I hope you enjoy the video and will join us for the catch and cook at Spargos kitchen.
Here are links to some of the tackle I used in this video

Great vid as usual keep it up
you too! Father Fish Locker
Great video when u doing some more shark videos
great vid John stay safe too
Tell your father in law to cook “dorada a la sal”
I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now and I really do enjoy them, I love the diversity of species that you catch. I am 15 years old and come from the small island of Malta 🇲🇹 in the Mediterranean. At the moment we’re catching a lot of amberjacks, blue runners and massive dolphin fish or “ Mahi Mahi”. We also get glithead sea bream in fact I caught in 4 pounder last December. Anyways keep up the good work and whenever you come to Malta, then don’t hesitate to go for a fishing trip !
With so much bad news in the world, it is such a pleasure to discover that a new Locker family video is up and ready to be watched. Thank you for what you do!
I agree 🙏👍
Hearing those Curlews calling in the still quiet air brings back pleasant memories of the Yorkshire moors and fly fishing on the river Ure near Hawes in the dales, a magical mystical haunting sound that gladen's the heart.
Very encouraging seeing plenty of those wee Bass
Good to see isn't it. 😊
Just finished watching Slippy and yours came along, perfect timing JL, Mortimer and Whitehouse later, a perfect way to spend a miserable Sunday afternoon/evening...thanks 👍
I was talking to Nathan earlier about uploads, we didn’t want to clash. It’s like crossing the streams in ghost busters. 🤣
@@TheFishLocker you'll have to get together one day for a vid. 👍
@@JW-wp1qt - 😉
Those Bream are some beautiful fish, tight lines! 👍🐟
Stunning aren’t they. 😊💙
You kept the Gold one for Jim.
you must be one of the best Son-In-Laws in the Devon mate..
He must be one in the million 💙
Haha. We live in Cornwall. 😊
Mate, a bream that size is a dream catch for most anglers in Australia haha. Beautiful catch.
I lost one this year that was around 6lb!!! I was very upset. 🤣
@@TheFishLocker insane! I recently pulled out a 44 on 4lb braid and 6lb leader. I was shaking lol. There are some big bream around lately.
@@intensity.density2208 - Amazing!!
Perseverance is always rewarded...great to see you finally got some Gilts 😎🎣
Some years they are just everywhere, others you really have to work for them!!
Try and try again is my thing at the moment John, 4-5 times out now around Plymouth Sound and all I've had is a small mackerel and a small pollack, but plagued by jet skiers, still will keep on trying, thanks again for the inspiration👍🎣
Keep trying bud. 😊👍🏻
the curlews calling in the early morning is so evocative.
Wonderful for setting a mood isn't it. 😊
Gotta love how relaxing these videos are.
Glad you like them!
I watch these videos as I drink my morning coffee, nice to start the day this way!
No better way to start the day imo. 😊
What a beautiful looking fish, well played John.
That white rod is a winner ☺️☺️ good find in the garage ☺️
I completely forgot I had it.
Stunning looking bream.
They are wonderful aren't they. 😊
Most entertaining1 its good to see so many juvenile fish. Lets hope they get the chance to grow to big fish!
I hope so too. 😊👍🏻
Love your videos John. ❤ looking forward to the catch and cook video. Take care and stay safe my Fish Locker Family. 💋
Thank you Cecilia. Have a lovely day. 😊
@@TheFishLocker I will.👍❤💋
Cracking bull huss and a lovely gilt head John 😃💪💥
Thank you very much. 😊
Perseverance has worked you finally got your bream and what a stunner. Hope you enjoy the bream I love them
Thank you Debra. 😊
what a stunning and beautiful place to spend a morning fishing, thank you for sharing.
Wonderful isn't it. I love it. 😊
The Thames has been alive with those small Bass for years now, every year they get slightly bigger, bodes well for the future, great video again mate.
Be great in 5 years time Steve. Full of 8lbers. 😬👍🏻
The french trawlers will get them when they migrate sadly. They would make much more money turning uk fishing into sports fishing only and buy out all the commercial boats. The industry is dead on its feet but the damage it does to the aquatic environment is still immense
@@Ghhyuttgg We have much the same problem with salmon here on the US West Coast. The commercial fishery is an anachronism and causes more harm than good. Nevermind it isn't even financially viable...the few boats still gillnetting the Columbia River all have jobs to pay the bills. I DO hate to see it die, but its time has come and gone. Some day if/when our fisheries rebound enough to support it, I would be fine with it returning.
@@MrAcuta73 It's the same story in all "civilized" countries, big companies sending men out fishing to make the payments on the company's multi-million dollar/euro/pound boats. One boat with all the modern technology can destroy a fishery on its own, then move on to destroy another one somewhere else.
How far do you typically travel for fishing? Are most of these places semi local for you or are you like some of the American fisherman who are mostly local then take a trip up the coast for a vid? Reason I ask is you have all this great fishing locale nearby at any given time otherwise.
Simple. Your videos seem simple and effortless (although of course they aren't) and that makes them even more appealing. Well done.
Thank you very much Dave, that is what I hoped they would watch like. Fishing is a pleasurable experience - so I wanted the videos to reflect that. Simple, honest and no B/S. 😊
Honestly your little laughs and giggles! You can see where your boy gets his cheeky smile from
Thumbs Up John.... Del..
👍🏻👍🏻
That saying if you don't succeed try and try again is defo true in the world of fishing. And Persistence pays off. Great vid mate tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
Was interesting....that huss as the beast from the black lagoon....awesome....they run that big in the Shannon estuary..but with more typical colouration
Up the river they tend to be muddy like this. I do love a nice clean sandy Huss.
Just love the way you told the Bull Huss to calm down and it did. Great entertainment and humour in the film, deserved your target fish for the table, look forward to seeing that video. Thanks as always for brightening my day.
Thank you David and have a cracking day mate. 😊👍🏻
👍👍
Nice sunny day, that's the kind we had all summer here ! 😁😢
Nice. 👍🏻🐟
@@TheFishLocker I wish! 😊
So glad you’re feeling better! I hope everything is well! Cheers from New England!
Still on light duties but definitely on the mend. Thank you. 😊
@@TheFishLocker Excellent to hear! Your family is one of a kind and watching you means so much to so many. Thanks for being you and sharing your love and passion with all of us! It gives anyone who watches a bit of peace and restores some of our hope for humanity. I wish the world (and especially the USA) had more Locker families! I appreciate you all very much :) Enjoy your Sunday and rest (lol. I don’t believe you’ll rest for a second)!
Try try and try again I'm having a run like that , I'm down your neck of the woods , walking and fishing holiday , been catching some stunning ballan wrasse but nothing else , would love a pollock or bass but doesn't seem to be many about . Just a question john my area where I fish at home is gosport /Portsmouth/ hayling this year the mackerel are wierd here one minute gone the next and very few around have you experienced anything like that in your area ? Enjoyed the vid as usual pleased your on the mend mate.
Hey Mate - those schoolie bass are awesome for fish tacos. Clean, cube, poach and then pan fry the flesh. Mix your favorite Tex-Mex sauces and sides. Heaven for lunch !
Haha. There is a minimum landing size here of 42cm.
Love estuary fishing, being able to fish such a stunning location, with such obliging swell conditions but still reaping the benefits of sea species is awesome!
Wish I had a proper estuary round here
I love your videos. I'm originally from Long Island, New York and loved to fish when I was a kid. It used to be off the docks rather than out at sea so it was kind of limited. Live in Arizona now which is pretty much landlocked. There are some lakes, many to most are man made, but that's not quite the same. I appreciate you making these and hope you can keep making them a long time to come.
Hi Gregory, I was actually just looking at fishing trips in Long Island and a little further up the coast as we hope to visit the states at some point. Id love to catch a nice striper. 😊
Mate that's a nice looking Bream 👌 GREAT STUFF MATE 👍
Stunning aren't they. 😊
That Bream looked superb! Something I haven't tried yet, well done.
That is one handsome fish. Enjoy!
Beauties aren’t they. 🐟😊
'Little spikey bait robber' 😂 made my day John 👍
They are a bloody menace!!!
Beautiful catch! Just what I wanted to see on my birthday today. I used to go fishing every year on my birthday; great times with my dad and husband, both gone now. Greetings from California where it is 98 degrees.🥵
Fabulous eating fish guiltheads one of my favourites
Wonderful aren’t they. 😊
Fantastic as always. I'm chuffed you got a surprise. As I've said before, I am amazed at how few surprises sea anglers actually get.
You never know what might appear on your line. 😊
Watched these in the wrong order, but still well worth watching, thanks for sharing bud
So long as you enjoyed watching them.
I am a bit jealous. You have so many species to target. I've never seen a bream before. I am amazed your baits don't get savaged by crabs. We usually fish baits with a float to lift the bait off the bottom to avoid them. One variation is a "fishfinder rig" - hook, leader, swivel, float, weight (attached to the line so it can slide), then a stopper (or another swivel).
I use a similar rig when fishing for flounder.
Really enjoyed this one, lovely stuff
Glad you enjoyed joining me. 😊
Absolutely brilliant John!! Those bream look very similar to the ones I catch here in Oman, and yes I totally agree, they are good eating fish.
They are very like a snapper that lives worldwide. 😊
great video again thanks
Thank you Keith. 😊👍🏻
Good video again am so glad you have managed to get your bream, good session all those wee fish lol till the next one stay safe
Try try and try again.
Well Mr L I’m back in Eastbourne from Texas with my 92-year-old mum finally the Covid laws allowed me back been away for sometime but it’s great to look at your videos now I’m back in Eastbourne I bought a smashing Sea bream the other day from the local fish shop it was delicious and mum loved it melts in your mouth smashing keep up the good work all the best
Mark
Well done John. Cracking Huss. Cracking Bream.
Cheers Gordon. 😊
Nicely done , very nice
Thank you very much 😊
Great respect for the sport and the fish John Wilson would be proud. Amazing angler to 👌👊
Thank you very much. 😊
Love the previous good morning edits 🤣🤣
You put in the work in this one and it finally pays off. Tick that one off the todo list. Good work fella !
I won’t be beaten. Haha
Excellent Channel. Absolutely first class .You should have your own TV program on fishing. People are bored with the crap fishing programs on TV where you have so called celebs. going fishing but spend more time talking shite to each other than actually fishing !
I guess that's why UA-cam is overtaking TV. 🤷🏻♂️
Great video yet again...thankyou...really inspirational to the younger generation as well..
I managed to find a river Fal video 😀 great episode again mate really enjoyed it.
Theres a few more to find. 😉 Glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏻
what a great day fishing, thank you for sharing 👍🏻
Thanks for watching 😊
One fish I haven't caught cheers john great vid
Theres always time 😉🎣
Ty! You've inspired me!
My pleasure 😊
Thank you again John some lovely fish hope you and your father in law enjoyed the bream.
John what a cracking video, that bull huss wow blinkin heck ....brilliant he was massive 😳 but the guilt head bream....what a beautiful looking fish.Had to laugh as them bass kept getting smaller and smaller lol.l think another trip to that place might be in order,don't you 🤔 All the very best 🌱🌱🌱💕
Those schoolies are just a menace!!! 🤣
Thanks John, interesting again and a bit of fun too.
Good job John. I always love seeing Bass in the boat.
Hard to beat a good spikey. 😉
another good video john and plenty of sport
A challenging day John! But - as you well know... everything comes to he who waits patiently. Well done!!
Good to see you up about
Great video again thanks John, first time seeing a bream beautiful looking fish. Stay safe 😁🍀
Superb as usual John ,that first huss was very dark ,
He was wasn't he!!
Missed your videos!!
Have you been away? We have been uploading at least once a week since early 2019. 😊
I’m in my 70ts and never caught a gilt head ,,,until 3 weeks ago I had 3 in an hour ,but wee where fishing for them with same setup as you , you certainly know you’ve got a gilt on , especially on light gear , happy days
They are great fun when you get a good one aren’t they!! 👍🏻🐟
@@TheFishLocker yes they have been catching and releasing some big fish up this way ,I believe 8pounds + awesome fish
Class fishing.👌 👍What you are targeting and a totally unexpected 13lb specimen.👏👏
That's the beauty of sea fishing.😁
The colouring on the bream are absolutely stunning.
Oh to be 40yrs younger.
Once again, thanks John.
Enjoy your bream, take care, and I look forward to future videos.👏👍👌
Stay safe. 😷
Good to see you got your target species im comming down again in a few days have a species league event in padstow.
You have no idea sometimes whats down there and its nice see what a variety there is in Cornwall.
We do have some wonderful fishing in Cornwall. Even I haven't had some of the fish we get down here. 😊
Another great few trips out on the boat thanks John looking forward to the catch and cook
haha the fish trying to escape the bucket
He was not having it was he?!🤣
What a beautiful morning to be out on the water . I just bought my first house and now that I finally have somewhere to keep a boat I'm really looking forward to hopefully getting one for next summer . Love the channel mate and watch and like almost all you're vids . Top man keep up the quality work , respect from Ireland
you are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place. Gilt head s are my fav'. The only ones in our fishmongers are farmed abroad. Madness as we live by the sea. also. Good to see all the young bass. good sign for the future stocks. Thanks for another great video. Best wishes to the Fishlocker family from Plymouth
Take care mate. 😊
Enjoyed that video John
Thank you John. 😊
Always awesome videos
Glad you like them 😊
Nice they are good John 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️
I must admit I do enjoy watching your videos with a bit of humor and knowledge. If I had half the knowledge that you have I would be quire brainy... :) Keep them coming.
Every day is a school day. Most of my jokes aren't really family appropriate though. 🤣
Thank you John, had a lot of chuckles on this one! Iridescence on the one fish was amazing. 👌🏼
Nice day with some stunning fish you catch t, and bream are fantastic food on the BBQ!! 👍🏻🎣
Great days fishing. Some bull huss that John. Boats is looking good.
Haha. It was a brute wasn’t it!! 😊👍🏻
I wasn't sure what he was calling them. I thought he was saying bull horse. I am from America and speak English. LOL Actually, I am specifically from Maine and in our accent we frequently drop the Rs from words so I thought he was saying horse. An example saying that we use to make fun of ourselves is "park the car in Harvard yard". Non of the Rs are pronounced but the As are drawn out a little.

They like crustaceans ! I catch a lot of them in estuaries in Australia ,fish light not too much weight with a king prawn whole hooked through the body ,line looped round the tail
Probably be expensive bait here tho
I catch my own prawns but we have so many small bass here that the boats gets smashed up before the break find them.
Really enjoyed watching that. Great sport and catch certainly featured Beauty and some Beasts!
Another great really entertaining video, thanks for sharing. So pleased that you didn't blank on the dogfish, no Fish Locker episode would be complete without them! Really looking forward to Jim cooking the bream.
Thats nice bream looks like Mediterranean bream
They are the same species. 😊
Hey John! Thanks so much for another super informative and great video! Wishing you a wonderful week!
Absolutely fintastic effort ...the joy and respect for the fish . Totally brilliant . Reminded me of yer joy with John dory. 👊👍
Lovely bream ive got 2 sea fish left on my list to catch from the shore a mullet and the other is a bream. It will happen one day. Great video. As always
Well I wish you the best of luck with them Ben. 😊
I watch your a lot of videos but never seen the bream before. I live in Turkey (Hatay) and bream is very important for me. I liked it! 😎😁😁
Those bream look very similar to what we call porgys in the north east us
In the med they also call them Porgies.
Love it! That was an excellent Bull-huss at 3:55 . I love his teeth, but I'm glad the perseverance paid off for the bream. I was losing the faith personally, but I'm now inspired to go out there again and I plan to go out in 6 hours to catch the sunrise at Selsey Bill armed with some stinky old dried lugworm (LOL) and some frozen hermit crabs. Wish me luck!! 😀
Great video. I'm new to your channel and I really enjoy watching your videos. Take care
Welcome to our channel Rick and have a great day. 😊
great video mate!
Thank you. 😊
Caught 3 bream this morning!!!🎉🎊🎉🎊
Class mate good effort and we’ll deserved love ya vids an all the best form Sunderland how’s Jim an the family looking forward to the cook up mate
