    The wrasse were special John, the colours even more so, I like the idea of putting lures into individual tubes as it prevents a treble hook nightmare, in the past I've hooked them on the inside of a bucket but as you say if it falls over you have lures all over the place, I'll have to come round to your way of doing things for a simpler life!!

    Greetings from Switzerland. Love your channel. Haven’t done much sea fishing in the last 15 years; my beach casting gear is 30 years old; ABU 6500 etc etc. Like you, I call lure fishing “spinning” . About 10 years ago I invested in some Japanese lures, a Daiwa Certate 3000 and some new lure rods. I prefer my old 11ft Daiwa spinning rod, Shimano bait runner 5000, J13s and Chug Bugs! Soft plastics are new to me. Thanks for the tips. Hopefully next year, I can wet a line in the salt. In the meantime, it’s alpine streams for trout. Tight lines

    Extremely informative as always. I am an old farmer who has worn Wellingtons all his life (including through Australian and Portuguese summers) never boots, but the way you are so sure-footed on wet rocks makes me jealous. Do you have a favourite brand of Wellie, use studs of any sort, or just confident of keeping your grip?

    • @TheFishLocker
      @TheFishLocker  3 роки тому +1

      - Haha. No mate, these cost me about £5 from the local garden centre. I end up wearing the treads out I wear them so often. We grew up in wellies out in the woods or on the beach. 😊

      @alanmcdonald4423 3 роки тому

      @@TheFishLocker Thanks. I buy cheap Portuguese made ones. I cannot see the point in paying a lot of money for any sort of wellie when you know you are going to wear them out in a matter of months.
      A little story - I have heard they were invented in Portugal. The Battle of Buçaco was the first time Napoleon's troops were beaten in Iberia. Rumour has it that Wellington had our lads kitted out with his own type of "wellie" whilst the French had the usual boots. It is very damp and slippery on the slopes around Buçaco.

    Great video as always, unfortunately wrasse stocks are facing a grim future. Here in Ireland in the last 4 years 1.6 million wrasse have being caught from a couple of areas on the west coast to be used as cleaner fish in commercial salmon farms. Scottish salmon farms are going through their stocks and now taking wrasse from the south west of England.
    In Norway they go through 10 million “cleaner fish a year” (lumpfish and wrasse) and wrasse stocks have collapsed in parts of Norway
