brilliant thanks
Can u show a few close ups of unhooking deep hooked fish to help us to put fish back safely. Im getting better but not with gill or deep hooked ones.
Looking forward to it!
Brilliant John, my son and I are learning so much. You’re great for beginners.
Another great video John, loving all the tips. I have found the detachable hook lengths from one of your other videos a great time saver, not in just baiting up but also not having to make up so many complete rigs.😁
Taking great comfort from your videos. Both my parents died within the past 10 days. Dad was a true countryman and reminds me of Fishlocker for his knowledge and skills.
Oh Ken I am so truly sorry to hear that. I wish there was something I could say or do to lessen the terrible blow. Take care my friend and be well. 💙
That’s so sad , keep strong Ken ,🤝
Hope your doing well Ken
Never felt the need to cry about my losses on social media..
@@mommabubba1887 then shut up
The one thing that I find that 'flows' throughout all your fishing videos is your infallible logic to all sorts of situations. One can't fault it! This is a great example - and for me personally - gives me hope as I have VERY rarely fished from a pier and with my age increasing rapidly (!!), this gives me some serious hope!! Brilliant as always John. Thank you.
You and I could sit and talk about things for hours mate. I like to think of myself as a logical person and a "thinking" angler. There is a reason for things, for them to go right or for them to go wrong. We as an intelligent being should be finding better, smarter and more efficient/effective ways of doing everything in life. From the days living in caves discovering fire to modern day technological and medical advances. You have a problem and you find a solution. In my experience the best and most effective solution is often the simplest one. The logical one. Sadly modern people have a habit of overcomplicating things and don't see the purest simplest logic until it is explained to them. Then it's obvious. Haha.
That’s y I’m here! Im toying with getting into sea fishing but with a lot to learn, as a coarse angler that has always successfully fished differently to others, I relate to the thinking here. This and the reading the charts/map at trevone are the only vids of yours I’ve watched, n they’ve answered sooo many of my questions, Thanks for the effort you put into your vids. 👍👍
@@TheFishLocker You are so right John. Been an Engineer all my life and learned very early on to 'see the woods' ;-)
Top class mate , just getting better all the time . ''Don't forget what's at your feet '' reminds me of many years ago , we had a new lad in the club , hadn't a clue bless him . Went beach fishing , his first time out , we all casting miles out , his first cast was a few yards right into the surf , bang , 8lb bass . We were sick , I learned a lesson that day ..
Haha. That happens so many times!!!
John I love your videos but for me the real pleasure is to see the” take”. I appreciate the point you made about shining the light on the water but surely you can play a beam on your rod tops only. Keep it going mate.
If it was that easy to show on camera, I would have done it John. 😉🎣
Big fish on the small fish rig - typical 😂Good to see another vid John 👌
- Its always the way isn't it. haha.
Just want to say how brilliant these episodes are for those who want to progress with sea fishing. Your easy listening style makes it so down to earth and understandable. I’ve coarse fished all my life, started sea fishing 2 years ago and love it. Thanks to you it’s ironed out a lot of my doubts and questions. Cheers John from me and countless others who support the channel, regards to all the family for your efforts.
It is my pleasure Stephen, I am simply doing what I can to help folks. Take care and tight lines. 😉🎣
I must say, I enjoy all of the videos on this channel and it's really opened up my eyes to Sea Fishing and how fun it really is.
Thank you very much. I am really glad to hear the videos have helped you out. 👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker Appreciate your work sir!
Thanks for keeping us going through these crappy times John. Me and the family have all been ill since end of Dec with the dreaded covid but out the other end now. You have kept me sane through the long nights of coughing and fighting to breath. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Hope you, the family and all your fans keep yourselves safe and well. 💙
I'm glad to hear you are all coming out the other side of your ordeal mate. If I have been able to help in any way then I am glad. Take care mate and give our best wishes to your family. 😊🎣
Hello James
Another nice clip
Thank you mate
❤️ from Iran 🇮🇷
- It is my pleasure. 😊🎣
Please keep these shore fishing for beginners coming. Been fishing since August and your videos are very helpful and enjoyable. Thank you
I shall do my best, I hope they help people out. Please share them on to any of your friends who you think may benefit from them. 😊
My Dad used to tie the bait on like that when fishing on the surf for Striped bass of Long island, New York. Fond memories... The mark of a true fisherman!
Thank you. 😊🎣
Lovely spot there, have fished it often but never in the dark. that explains why i never catch much. Must give it a try once i can get down there again
- Just be careful down there. A couple of folks died in December being swept into the water in rough weather.
I was trying to figure out where it was but couldn't make it out in the dark I'm not at that expert cornish level just yet lol
I fished the same place 2 yrs ago as we just came out of lockdown. I had an 8ft spinning rod and fished 2ft away from the wall a size 1 hook with ragworm. I had 15 wrasse in 1 hr upto 7lb in weight. I couldnt believe it. A local said shed lived there 14yrs and never seen such a big fish before caught from there. Just to prove what you say about not chucking out to France. Really enjoy your videos. Cheers!
Yes, I’ve caught many good fish right at my feet.
A really interesting and informative video which taught a non fisherman like myself what I am missing and I'm seriously thinking of taking a one of the many novice fishing trips off the North East Coast of England and having a go catching my lunch. Thank you John for all you do and take care of yourself and family. X
I wish you the very best of luck Nick. 😊
It just shows you can catch big fish on small hooks, nicely filmed and explained, love this series as its the kind of fishing I would love to do. Thanks for posting.
Just trying to share what I know to help folks out mate. 😊🎣
Thanks for another beautiful upload! This will give me another night of joy, for at least 25 mins! Grtz from Holland👌
It is my pleasure Jan. Have a wonderful evening. 😊
Another absolute pleasure to watch.
Your wealth of fishing knowledge is vast, every episode is an education.
Take care and all the very best.
I am simply sharing what I know and love doing mate. I hope it helps people 😊🎣
John really enjoy all the tutorials, I only starting shore fishing last year but have used your videos for tips and tricks to success. Unfortunately due to current travel restrictions and the fact I live to far away I'm unable to fish, but doesn't stop me learning. Look forward to the next one. Hope you and the family all the best. Michael.
You should never stop learning Michael, I hope you are able to get out fishing soon. 😊
These videos are keeping me sane, a big thanks from Northern Ireland😉
My pleasure George. 😊
Really enjoyed this one John. The baiting up info was great and the logical advice on why you’re using grippers on rough ground.
My pleasure bud. 😊
Another great video full of useful tips. Thanks John. Please keep them coming
Any time my friend. 😊🎣
It's always a treat watching you show your personal techniques on how to catch your quarry John even though it is doubtful I'll ever get to try them, I am grateful for the information.
It is my pleasure to share with you Tim. 😊
@@TheFishLocker Thank you😊
Nice video mate, you're channel is definitely one of the best for sea fishing, full of tips and information for everyone, not just beginners but people who have been fishing for a while, you can never know enough. Good luck with it all mate.
You will never know it all mate so there should always be something to learn - that's how I see it. 😉🎣
Cracking session and some useful tips. Big fish for the shore, as you say just over the side. Can't believe how clear the water is still. Cold perhaps get the lure rod out still for an appropriate mark. Thanks a Million John!
Any time Richard. 😉🎣
I USED TO LIVE THERE BEFORE MOVING TO SCILLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES TO FISH SPENT MANY NIGHT DOWN THERE CATCHING SOME GREAT CONGER THANKS FOR SHARING
My pleasure mate. Take care buddy. 😊🎣
I’ve never gone fishing before, and I really want to go! I live in California, USA near Santa Monica and I sadly don’t know any spots to go to. This’ll make it easier for when I can find where to go! Thank you!
It is our pleasure to share our fishing knowledge with you. 😊
Thanks for inadvertently answering a question i asked in a previous video about handling fish around the gills . Love your videos.
My pleasure Will. 😊🎣
John, another high quality informative video with no embellishments. Hopefully this little series of videos will educate potential beginners and of the sustainable way in doing it. Keep em coming👍
Simple, honest and no BS mate. Thats all we are about. 😊🎣
Another great episode thanks John. Useful info there. Looking forward to more in this series. Stay safe & well. 👍👍
Cheers bud. Take care mate. 😊🎣
Brilliant video . I use gripper leads for rough ground myself I go a little further and bend the end of the wires outwards and back in on them selves
They work a treat don’t they. 👍🏻
Legendary as always John. Great video and awesome tips mate. Stay safe looking forward to your next instalment. 🎣🎣🎣
Cheers Paul, take care mate. 😊
A Three Bearded Rockling! I didn't even know that any Rockling existed! Amazing natural history insights.
My pleasure Andrew. 👍🏻

Good morning John, now I've been shore fishing since I was a teenager, 60 now, but you are never too old to learn new skills, which I have from this video, can't wait to learn more, keep them coming 😊
You will never know it all mate, so you are always able to learn something new. 😊🎣
Never a truer word said 😁
Love your videos and content fella looking forwards to the shore sessions cant wait
Thanks Nick. 😊
Great video, like to see more of these 'for beginner' videos. Amazed at the ease with which you handle conger, always afraid of getting bitten. keep up the good work,
I am building on the Shore fishing for beginners playlist mate. A few videos in there now. 😊🎣
Excellent video - as ever. Very helpful John. Thankyou. 😀👍🍀🐟
It is my pleasure. I hope it helps folks out 😊🎣
Fantastic John just keep em coming love it 👍🐟

Thanks for another great vid. Keep them coming mate....Love them. 👍
It is my pleasure mate. 😊🎣
Another great video. Keep ‘em coming! Thanks
Thank you Caroline.

Enjoying these shore fishing for beginners videos John. Keep em coming! Thanks mate.
Cheers Kyle, I hope they help folks out. 😊🎣
I’ve learned so much from watching your videos 👍🏼😁
Yep, enjoyed.
Yep, useful.
Thank you kindly.
Glad it was helpful!
Enjoyed your video , with your hints an tips. Thank you John. Stay safe my Fish Locker Family. 💋
Thank you Cecelia I am glad you enjoyed it. 😊🎣
Superb video as always, you can’t make them fast enough for me! Haha! I find the fish handling and unhooking very useful. Previous to watching this video I wouldn’t have ever dared target a conger but now I feel like I could even though I’m a million miles from that level. If the day ever comes where I find a conger on the end of my line I’ll remember your advice. Thank you.
The whole purpose of these "beginner" videos is for exactly what you have just said. To hopefully help people to increase their learning curve and enjoy fishing more confidently. Best wishes and tight lines. 😊
Thank you!! Most enjoyable again.
My pleasure Malc
That was a good video especially for beginners, really worth watching thank you John tight lines keep safe

Cracking session,quite agree about the grip weights reducing your tackle loss 👍🦈🎣
Simple when someone explains it isn't it. 😊🎣
Love your videos. I've never fished a day in my life but really enjoy watching you do it.
Thank you. I love my fishing. 😊
@@TheFishLocker More like we all love your fishing.
Really good , fished for decades but never groundbaited , given me a idea for my close in bassing
Works great for bass if you have the patience to do it for a week or so. A couple of mackerel carcasses into a gulley every evening for a week. 😉🎣
Love this .I spend as much time as possible pier fishing and wrasse are my favourite on light tackle.the west of Ireland has fantastic fishing. Keep up the good work sir.Tommy
With the right gear it can be brilliant can't it. 😊
@@TheFishLocker big time my kids love it too.gonna start using rubber baits this year I think
Love the videos as always great way to end a weekend 👍🏻
Cheers Ryan. 😊🎣
Another educational video, thanks John, never thought of groundbaiting before, will give that a go👍
Simple when you think about it though isn't it 😉🎣
Another great video John, have never thought of ground baiting before but will try next time I pier fishing, thanks
Its simple when someone explains it isn't it.😊🎣
Eevee though I have not caught a fish from shore, I enjoying watching you get them. Almost as satisfying, and less work!
Thank you very much. And yes, far less work. haha.
Hi John, Many thanks again, very enjoyable, really enjoy your videos especially whilst we are on lockdown and are unable to move very far....... you take us there. cheers Ian

Cracking video John , felt like I was there with you .Loved it
- Glad you could join me Terry. 😊🎣
Another cracking film, cheers 😁😁😁
My pleasure Steve. 😊
Never had a conger, they’re deep water/wreck only fish over this side and never had the desire to, but this vid added conger to the 2021 list.
- You can catch them surprisingly close to shore in a lot of places. Good luck on the conger hunt.
What a great video.some very nice conger caught.loved this one alot.keep it up John.
Thank you Michael, glad you enjoyed the video. 😊🎣
Thanks for a other great video on congers and peir fishing mate
My pleasure Derek. 👍🏻😊

Thank you so much. 😊🎣
amazing tips please do a lot more cant wait for tips on smooth hounds etc as hopefully warmer weather soon need get prepared
Thank you very much, I hope the videos help people out. I certainly plan to do more. 😊
I like this channel it is kid friendly it is what I was looking for fishing, costal foraging, that is why I think it is the best
Thank you very much. We are a family run channel simply sharing what we love doing. Simple, honest and original content. Best wishes and take care. 😊
Thanks for sharing
Love fishing like that for conger on a pier or shore. Used to fish active fishing boat piers, long ago. Stone piers and they held eels. Used a flying gaffs I made to help land the big ones. Off the Greater Cumbrae shore fishing at night too. Very exciting!
Working piers often have the best congers there don't they. 😊
@@TheFishLocker Keeps them tight and fat. Sadly getting fewer and fewer. My best was at Carradale on the Mull of Kintyre! Brutes!
As always, great vid pal.
Cheers David. 😊
Cracking session with some great tips, John. It's been a while since I did any shore fishing but it's always useful to see what's going on and hear a few ideas. Loved the break in the briefing at 5:06 when you just stop speaking and look at the rod tips intently before carrying on :) Top clip with some nice fish mate - cheers
Priorities mate. Thats the difference between a fisherman and a presenter I guess. 😉🎣
@@TheFishLocker exactly - it's just how it should be
As always you are the best John 👍🎣🐟🎣🐡🐠🎏
Any time my friend. 😊
Excellent video I'd never even thought of fishing a pier by night. Tight lines.
Every day is a school day mate. 😊
Another great uncomplicated video, Well done John
Simple, honest and original content mate.
This was a really good video sir, you showed technique, caught nice fish! and showed compassion. Looking forward to the series. Hello again from Navarre Florida.
Thank you very much John, I am glad that you enjoyed the video. Best wishes and tight lines. 😊
Really good video look forward to seeing more shore fishing
Thanks Paul. Take it easy mate. 😊
Really enjoyed that. Thank you
My pleasure James. 😊
There is nothing better in life than fishing 🎣 and watching fishing videos 😁
😊🎣
Rockling are one of my favourite live baits for Spurs and Huss! Definitely keep the dog fish off the hooks aswell! Probably my favourite live bait!💪🏽
The only issue I have found when fishing in the rough like this is they can find the cracks and crannies and snag you up.
Excellent video. The pier your fishing on looks so ancient, I wish people still built things like that today. Nowadays they just pour concrete. I’m afraid if I ever get to visit the UK l might not be able to leave. Such a beautiful place 👍👍👍👍👍thanks so much for sharing.
That is sadly true, I do not believe people could build things like they used to even if they tried. So much skill has been lost in the race to be modern.
Always learning from this channel. I fly fish in the sea, not bait fishing, but it’s all food for thought!🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
- Every day is a school day.
Thanks John an interesting video with some great tips for me. Hope you’ve warmed up!
My pleasure Ralphy. 😊🎣
Enjoyed the vid,, again!! Overjoyed to see you wearing a life jacket again!! Wish other anglers would follow your example!
Thank you Howard, you will see I am almost always wearing one when out on the shore or the boat. I do hope others follow this example. Take care mate and stay safe. 😊
Fantastic picture quality and great content. Thank you for sharing pal
Any time Darrin. I hope the video help folks out. 😊
Will definitely try a few grip leads in rough ground myself. thank you for the tip.
No problem. 😉
Love your videos mate!
Thanks mate. 😊
Great video John,😊☮️
Thank you Ed. 😊
Thanks another enjoyable video
My pleasure. 😊👍🏻
Enjoyed as always, thank you.
My pleasure James, best wishes bud. 😊🎣
Cheers John. I really enjoyed that mate. Last few days of isolation and then I’m off for a dangle too. Be safe all. 😀
Good luck Andy. 😊🎣
Another really good vid mate ! 👍🏻👍🏻
