  • Amazing Coastal Foraging along the super low spring tide shoreline at night. Wild weather forces a change of venue but what an amazing night I had. Mountains of Scallops, Razor Clams, Cockles and other wonderful wildlife. Later that day we take our seafood forage to Spargos's Kitchen and have an incredible seafood feast. Clam and seafood Chowder, Tomatoe and Lemon Herb crusted clams and seared Scallops on a bed of fresh salad. A true taste sensation!!

    I love how he picks up the fish and crabs and shows and explains what it is, as soon as he is done he puts it down. It's so nice that he tries not to stress out the creature that he is picking up while still wanting to inform the veiwers. There are many people that I have seen that just hold the creature's and sometimes even mess with them. I think has become my favorite channel, outstanding work!

      I love the fact that after watching these videos it’s a good education of what you can and can’t eat. You can pop down the beach and come back with fresh, organic shellfish then cook a meal up fit for a king. Me and my two boys have been watching loads of these videos, so next time we go rock pooling we’ll pick some muscles, cockles, a few crabs if we’re lucky enough and some scallops take them back to our caravan clean cook and eat😋

I quoted John because it's just not right too take all of it and talking about how each member is competitive... I refuse to watch videos like that my Lil girl and I ad I've told u many times love watching you and your family forage and make wonderful meals for your family if u happen to want to see what I am referring to on that channel it's Brooke crist maybe some wisdom from John make help them realize it's not a competition it's to enjoy the forage and the food with your family .

    Hi John
    There's many comments made about keeping secret their fishing spots, and I know that you personally have been subject to criticism from the locals, I have been fishing for 50+ years, mate life to short to worry about keeping fishing spots a secret, part of my joy is sharing with my fellow fishos my fishing spots, the length that some people go to blur out land marks on the videos, come on fishos, get real part of the joy of fishing is sharing, this is what I believe in, you make up your own minds.

    • @TheFishLocker
      @TheFishLocker  3 роки тому +3

      - Sadly there is always an element of society that show utter disrespect to man and beast. They are the people who ruin fish marks. Also several of the marks I fish require access over private land. And although there is currently a good relationship with landowners. It just takes one ass and that is ruined.

      John - We had property in Missouri with a nice two-acre pond well stocked with large channel catfish, many in the ten-plus pound category because they were fed daily and had access to an on-demand feeder. A family friend was hospitalized and required assistance while in a hospital in Saint Louis, so we asked another a neighbor to watch our property till our return three weeks later.
      We heard tell of several barbecues and large fishing groups from the helpful neighbor's family and friends while we're gone, who littered and improperly entered a garage and storage building. The catfish were quickly fished out with fences cut so folks could park on the road to walk to the pond. It was never the same with no trespassing signs posted on every fence and pole plus hundreds of dollars in fence repairs.
      We came home to see strangers sitting at our pond fishing, even using our covered picnic table and grill while we were in the house. We gave them the boot, especially after they said they already had access permission, [granted from the erstwhile neighbor after we returned home], a truly galling experience.
