  • Coastal Foraging - Spring tide coastal foraging for Lobsters, Crabs and Clams.
    I was trialling a new camera setup on this session and unfortunately the wind noise was very bad. I have done what I could but I apologise if the audio quality is not up to our usual high standard.

    - This was filmed before the UK lockdown was initiated. It is my feeling that we all need to obey the governments instructions and remain locked down to control this horrible virus. No one loves their fishing more than I, but the safety of others is far too important. You will not die if you do not go fishing. But someone else might if you do. My son for example. Or someone’s mother or father. Stay home, stay safe. 😊👍🏻

    I recently stumbled across this channel, and it actually helped solidify my decision to stop being a vegan. I haven't been feeling well for a while and seeing how incredibly respectful you are of the ocean and the creatures that you take to eat has shown me that eating animals can be far from inhumane. The way you talk about the fish and take only what you need is truly inspirational. A really special channel, thank you for sharing it with us xx

      - Gracie it really is our pleasure. That what you have just said truly is what I hope people see when they watch our channel. It is a lesson we are also teaching out children. Never take more than you need and always treat the natural world with respect and appreciation. Hopefully our videos will encourage others to adopt our approach and respect for the natural world. Best wishes to you and your family and have a lovely day. :D
      P.s. Have you seen our recent video foraging for Spider Crabs. If you enjoyed this then I think you will enjoy that too.

    Watching you forage reminds me of me and my Grandmother, she used to let me stay home from school and she'd put on a pair of gollashes and we'd walk along the river at low tide, she showed me how to lift the rocks and find crawfish and eels, and snails and fresh water mussels in the mud. She also taught me how to skip stones across the water, I learned more from her than I ever could in school. Thank you for bringing back those fond memories.

    I live along the beach in Washington State, US. I absolutely love going out and foraging the flats during low tide. I wish we had lobster here! But we've got a lot of Rock Crab, Dungeness Crab, Cockles, Manilla Clams, Butter Clams, Varnish Clams, Horse Clams and Mussels. Its a great day to spend it walking about and finish it with a tasty bake at the end! Love watching these foraging videos. Can't wait for the lockdown to be over and I can get out there again!

    It makes me very happy to see that you do not try to destroy the habitats while foraging. I have seen so many people that would tear apart an area to get to a crab or other animal without concern just as long as they get their prize. I can tell you have great respect for nature and try to preserve it for generations to come.

      - It is our pleasure. There is still debate on wether lobsters feel pain at all. Some feel that stabbing the brain is humane - but if you actually look at lobsters anatomy they do not have a central nervous system. They have 12 ganglia down their whole body, and you need to sever all of them to despatch the animal completely. This method is far more humane. :D

      The world needs to hear the voices of competent men. Not saying we don't need to hear what women have to say, or anything like that. But how do I put this into words. You are competent in something that you love to do. You are a fantastic fisherman and hunter. That takes, intelligence, dedication, and discipline to learn how to do the things that you know how to do. And on top of that you are able to share what you know, and share it very well, with a fantastic voice. You are patient with your son, when you take him with you, not all the time obviously which is fine you know but, you have a patient way with him, not all Dads choose to do that. The world needs hear from fathers like you. The world needs to hear the voice of someone who competent, who is able. And I think that you have a good way of seeing and saying things, and teaching, and I believe that that probably applies to more things than fishing. So I think if you decided to talk about things that are important for living, there's probably lots of folks that would listen to you. It's not an easy world we live in, people love what they see in your videos, creatures they probably never even knew existed, it is a unique talent to be able to show people things they have never seen, and teach them about how to do things they didn't know about, which they suddenly find themselves wanting desperately to try and do themselves. You are inspiring, which is not something everyone can manage. You have a good voice, and I think people like listening to you talk. Some times I think people need to hear a steady voice. Thank you for sharing what see, and I believe people want to hear anything you might feel the desire to talk about. God bless you and your family.

      Lucky Robin's Homestead - This really was a wonderful tide. Such diversity and vibrant life everywhere. I do love the seashore. I am glad you enjoyed the video, please if you think any of your friends would enjoy the distraction of our videos - please share them on. Best wishes and stay safe. 😊👍🏻

    Hi John thanks for another great informative fishing/foraging adventure, a little bit of normality in this crazy world we are living in now. Be kind, stay safe, keep well.

      - It is our pleasure Frederick, we are simply sharing what we love doing and I am happy to bring even a short distraction to the world at this stressful time. Best wishes to your family and stay safe my friend. :)
