I have never lost so many fish!!! Lure Fishing and Hand Hauling The Fishlocker Lobster Pots
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Proof that it's not always as easy as it looks!! Haha. Sometimes things are hard work, but if you remain focused and positive, things can turn around and I caught some wonderful fish. Moving some new lobster pots offshore, lure fishing on reefs for hard fighting Pollack then hand hauling our Fishlocker lobster pots yielded some wonderful food for the table. A perfect reward for a hard day at sea.
This video will lead onto a visit to Spargos Kitchen.
Here are links to some of the tackle I use in this video, I hope it helps.

Proof that fishing isn’t always as easy as it looks. 🤣 I have added links to the video description for the lures and tackle I was using. I hope it helps. 😊👍🏻🎣
What rod was you using John , thanks
Hi John. Would you take anybody fishing with you as I'm popping down the caravan I own in Cornwall next month and was wondering if you fancied and fishing day :)?
Thanks John from David
had same problem in a Welsh wreck a couple of weeks Ago fish hosting lures but missed Hook ups ,finally sorted it by Shortning Hook Snood which forced takes
John - At about 05:50, the waves and surface motion really started getting sloppy and you were still playing your fish while firing up the motor to control the boat. THAT is the sign of an experienced and knowledgeable fisherman that knows his limits and equipment. Well done!
@@pmorgan857 - When I’ve properly tested it I’ll do a review on it. 😉
Finish a 12 hour shift, just poured a chocolate stout and this pops up before it's even settled. Brilliant way to end the day.
Sounds like it was meant to be. 😉🎣👍🏻
I didnt get a Stout! Just an oversight Im sure!
@@darrylmcleman6456 was Yorkshire month on beer52 this time around :D
I paid £12.50 for 2 pints of Stout in St Albans Herts 'Rip off' city. More expensive than airport hotel beer!
SA over priced beer & over familiar barmen.
MIND you I didn't lose any pollack or ling either😉
@@redwingrob1036 Good stuff! I make my own ale,beer and stout using Coopers kits.It is what a boat owner has to do as the boat demands all of the money.CHEERS from westcoast Canada!!!
The Word of the Day: "Oooooh-ahhhh!" Thanks for posting! You just made my Sunday 100% better!!!
It is my pleasure Lori. 😊🎣
Even after a full day of fishing, I watch one of your videos and I want to get right back out. Your passion for the craft is contagious and I’ve learnt so much more about fishing, foraging and general knowledge of marine life since I’ve started watching you, thank you so much
Always a huge pleasure when one of your videos pops up John I really look forward to it 👍 every day I check to see if you have managed to make any more content… must be very difficult at times doing what you do balancing family life & weather conditions etc.. endless respect for this video & all others you put together.. Loosing fish makes you human.. very important! you are truly one of a kind & deserve to do very well my friend… keep doing what you do we all love it. 🙏👌👍
Thank you Ben. We will always manage to get our weekly Sunday upload up and if we are lucky maybe a Wednesday also. But lately the weather has just been horrible. Losing fish is just part of fishing. Have a wondeful day mate and stay safe. 😊👍🏻🎣
Missus is at work and there's sod all worth watching on TV and I get the notification saying there's a new video. Spot on 👌
Winner. 😉👍🏻
Thanks for another great video. I’m sure you’re just being yourself but you demonstrate so much integrity and respect for all the sea life that you encounter. It’s always a pleasure watching your videos. Thanks for showing how a descent man should conduct himself.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Travis. Take care and have a wonderful week. 😊🎣
A bad day of fishing is much better than a great day at work
Or school
Haha. I agree. 😉🎣
Your so right..😃
@@TheFishLocker John - Maybe you needed some mackerel feathers to keep the Lings biting just a bit more for a good hook set.
Great video John in some trying conditions. Just proves it’s not always possible to connect every time, it gives confidence to those that don’t catch every time. Keep safe John..
That’s why I produced the videos like I do mate. Simple and honest. I could make it seem like I land every fish every time but it’s just not true and just not accurate to real life is it. 😉🎣
@@TheFishLocker How true, keep up the great work.
@@TheFishLocker John - At 19:55 when you were discussing strategies for loosening your stuck lobster pot, could you have not have used your anchor float in a similar fashion to help pop it off the seabed like you would an embedded anchor or is the amount of line between the pots not long enough to attempt it?
I had a day like that next day I switched to smaller hooks made the difference great video thanks for sharing
The Pollack at the end showed that the hook size and lure was right. The fish were just being finicky. Some days are hard work mate. 😉👍🏻🎣
@@TheFishLocker DOES the weather affect fish ie are they more finicky & cautious in certain types of weather, in your experience FL?
Lovely way to relax watching you. Thanks for what you do.
Any time Dave. 😉👍🏻
You sir are a multi species gun. I was under the impression that sea fishing in my old country was rubbish. Love your work.
It’s only as good as the fisherman. 😉😛🎣
Love it, proves that sea anglers shout as loud as course anglers when they lose a fish, top video.
Haha.
I’m stuck in a hotel for my job for three weeks. Your videos are getting me thru it :)
I’m glad I could help. 😉
Proof that everyone who goes fishing has days where nature will get the upper hand! Another great video which just shows how going fishing is the definition of being optimistic 😀
Some days you win some days you lose. 🤣
Cracking video John, realistic misses proving its not always plain sailing. That ling omg, I would’ve been cursing. Perseverance paid off and you got your rewards. Thanks so much, must dash as the roll of the deck and sky lines have left me queezy.
Even with a storm rolling in it's absolutely lovely there
Nice one thanks John, especially the "Fishlocker weather reports"! I thought you were going to need a Golfing umbrella on a cuddy mount! Shame about the missed bites. When you hooked that Ling, I was willing you to reach for the net, you usually do when it's something special. At one point as you went to pull it in over the gunwale, I seriously thought you were going overboard. 😮😮 Nice haul of Pollack to make up for the missed bites, & a tasty Lobster - I shall look forward to Capt.Jim doing his thing with his Pollacks! Stay safe & well. 👍👍
Just bad timing mate. Because of the conditions I had stowed everything down tight - including the net. And just as I went to lift the ling aboard that big wave knocked it aside the boat and shook it off 🤷🏻♂️
@@TheFishLocker The main thing is you're safe. There was one moment when I thought the Fishlocker was going to give us extra content in the shape of swimming lessons!
I’ve meant to say this so many times: I’m surprised you haven’t gotten into spear fishing, John. ❤ much love to you all.
Sums up the highs and lows of a day's fishing lol but whether its a total blank or a fish a cast its a great day for us all when we are out in the fresh air not even the weather spoils it and long may it continue and long may these fantastic videos continue too I'm disabled now so I rely on vids like this they bring back some brilliant memories take care John stay safe and when can we see the new boat take to the water m8 lol
The new boat is just waiting for some new electronics to arrive and then she’s ready to go!!
Good to see you back John great to watch 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Terry. 😊
So glad your day turned about for you!! 😊 Not everyday go's as we planned, but what we make of it that's what makes all the difference!! Great looking Pollock and Lobster!!! 👨🍳🦞🐟🎣
Great video mate. I went off the beach Saturday eve had a whopping great Dover sole to finally break my blank streak. Also got a spider crab massive thing my line wrapped around his leg so thanks to you I had it for lunch today!
Fantastic fishing mate. 👍🏻🎣
cider in hand , dinner cooking while watching fish locker, happydays
Nice way to end a Sunday. 👌🏻
SOMEBODY else mentioning cool refreshing drinks now!
Mate we try so hard to get those beautiful fish over here and yet i follow YBS and he is a gifted lovely sole. What an amazing link up that would be. Get in touch and make an amazing video.. We all love the same thing and the passion is the same around the world.. Most of us will never achieve the chance. You are a massive influence in GB fishing. Keep it going. Thanks
Thank you very much Paul. That would be incredible but I think the logistics of getting our family over to Australia wouldn’t be possible atm.
@@TheFishLocker Haha, true enough. A bit tricky right now but never say never. Keep up the awesome vids. You never know if the wind stops blowing a hooley me and the old man may get out on the solent next week. ATB
A+ Marvellous entertainment, you tough it out in your boat and eventually start to catch the Ling and then the pollock. Typical of you they all go back bar the damaged one (which never goes to waste) so conservation covered. Then you haul the pots show us the different colouration on the Lobsters, keep one and v notch the female. Stunning views of the shore line and beautifully edited. I would have been walking on Bodmin Moor on a day like that, there is something about the moor being so desolate that goes with windy rainy days. Thanks for posting on another lousy rainy day in land.
Just started fishing never been before and have zero knowledge... thanks for your videos I have already learnt so much, had a schoolie bass on my line at Isle of Wight, can’t wait to get back to Cornwall!
fish locker vid and a beer on sunday sweet!
Sounds like a plan to me. 😉🎣
@@TheFishLocker- John - I noticed at 14:22 over your right shoulder another boat [white and orange] popped into the camera frame but it looked like a smaller commercial fishing boat. We don't normally see that many boats close to you. This all happened about the time your were catching all of your pollack.
@@mstrdiver Yep, small commercial boat.
Good evening John ☺ well that was a smashing days fishing.Them Pollock wow what great condition they are in.l think you might of missed that wrasse floating in the water behind you at some point.Like you l think Lobsters are really stunning to look at,you did a great job v notching her 👌 Thankyou so much for sharing,all the very best 🌱🌱🌱💕Do you think you'll do another John Dory video....hope so that was incredibly exciting.
Enjoyed, thank you. Sometimes sticking out the weather pays off. 👍
Perseverance pays off. 😉🎣
@@TheFishLocker IS that one of 7 P's, the idiom that SAS, & others use? To do with being ready for any eventuality...prep prep prep etc?
FOR example, leaving your net under your rods when you need ASAP? You of all people FL😉
Watching from Canada . I fish the great lakes and would love trying off the coast in salt water . Unbelievable fishing!!!
WHICH Great Lake?
IT won't be Lake Michigan, will it? 😉
@@redwingrob1036 No its Lake Erie, Mainly after Walleye, perch and late summer rainbow. But we have massive commercial fishery . Nets every where.
On a rainy windy day what better way to watch you, trojs and Rob cornish kayak, 👍👏🏻👏🏻
Your made of stout stuff John ,lumpy sea fish not co operating and wazzing it down.All things considered you can't be disappointed it's a lovely office to work in.Stay safe all the best to family.Tony
If it was easy everyone would do it mate. Haha.z 🤣🎣
@@TheFishLocker This is true lol good sea legs
OO...I'd luv a pint of English stout, but not at St Albans prices £6.25p.
CAN we stop mentioning stout in girth or beer. It's a sore point.
Fishing in winter was good here most of my life,but like most of the other fishermen I had a heater on board. Once your hands get cold in below freezing weather you are done.
Thank fully we don’t get the cold so bad here but I agree. Once you lose the dexterity in your fingers it game over.
HASN'T somebody designed mittens for anglers?
More than half the time that is the sea conditions we have here. We call it the salt chuck cause of how one gets thrown about.It can be flat calm but not often! CHEERS again from Westcoast Vancouver Island in Canada!
Delighted to see you have a hard day. i spent the last longtime 100 k from the sea watching you doing great things from boat and shore.Never stuck in weed,never stuck in a rock, On our first day of release I went to the west coast of Ireland and had a horrible day with undersea conditions. Plus it blew a westerly gale making life unpleasent. Constantly stuck in the bottom, constantly fighting to recover gear. Magic, but not like your shore videos. Please keep them coming. Was that the new boat in tonights video?
Haha. Not every day is an easy day mate. No this is not the new boat. That is having work done.
Another great video John loved the way you said steam around LOL thanks for the education on how to hold a fish too
I’m fascinated with watching you catch crabs, lobster and other shellfish, great videos friend, keep it up!
Great video John just goes to show you are human after all beginning to think you landed every bite 👍👍👍
I could edit the videos to make it look like that but it’s just not the truth. 🤣
Great video John and some nice fish eventually. Surprised to hear you whistling on the boat, you know it only whistles up the wind . But recently the wind just keeps coming. Steve
If it’s already windy whistling is fine. 😉
Missed Catches Teach humility, patience, & gratitude.. You, Master Fishlocker generally need none of these I would say, but It is a great lesson to be learned by some of us viewers perhaps "}
Some you win some you lose. That’s fishing. 🤷🏻♂️😊🐟
Thanks John, another great video! Don't envy you being out in that weather though 🌊🛥️🎣
Hi John another great video the cloud is not all bad adds a little dramatic effect to the video love the fishing keep it up
Thanks Alan. 👍🏻
Nice to see you back out on the water John, I'll be doing the same in the next couple of days hopefully🎣👍
Great video thanks John. Wow cannot remember you losing so many at the star!! It would have been great to see that Ling. Nice lobsters,glad you V notched that pregnant lady!! Amazing safety mechanism that lobsters and crabs have! Great Pollacks mate, bet they cook up nice... take care and be safe mate. Graham 🎣🎣🎣🎣
Just hard conditions mate. Slack tides so the fish were finicky and rough conditions. 🤷🏻♂️
I love watching your vids man such a laugh sometimes. Great filming John well enjoyable .
even a highly skilled fisherman has an off day, still enjoyed the video :)
Some days you just have to work that little bit harder. 😉🎣👍🏻
Thumbs Up John.... Del..
👍🏻
Another nice and interesting vid.
Thanks
Thank you. 🎣
Thank very much for the video take care will look forward to next one.
My pleasure. 👍🏻🎣
Nice one mate. Great vid & one for posterity. Thoroughly enjoyed! 👍🍻
Cheers Chris. 👍🏻
Am currently planning my fishing kayak expeditions out of Fowey & Padstow as they are the closest coastal launch & fishing locations to our new house soon to be in Cornwall. Can't wait! 👍🍻
Nice vlog John I miss the Pollock down caught two years ago nicest fish ever
Thank you. 😊
Hi John. Wow what a fantastic day. I was seasick just watching you. Ha Ha. As you well know its called fishing not catching. I alway think just to outside with a rod is all that counts. Great to be in your company once again. It was a bit lumpy there in parts especially when you were lifting the pots. As always Stay safe. Jimmy Dublin 13
Funny I was watching your "Buying a boat" videos....then last night my Dad texted me pics of the boat he drove up to Seattle to get. 18' Campion Explorer. Seems a nice bit of kit.
Wicked. 👍🏻
It's always reassuring when even the pro's have the ffs days too! Often wondered if you do. Got my FL jellyfish T this week, waiting (im)patiently to wear it for the first time on the maiden voyage of my first boat when she's finallllllly ready in a few weeks time. Hope it'll become a lucky mascot! 😊🤞
Fantastic video thumbs 👍
👍🏻👍🏻
Those pollock are in tip top condition glad you managed to get a few
I felt the pain when John lost that Ling! Even the best can lose a fish or two... Takes a while shrugs it off keep on plugging away! Respect to that!
Take a second to assess where you went wrong and get back to it. You win some you lose some. 😉🎣🐟
@@TheFishLocker well you are doing a grand job of video production and hosting at the same time as mostly catching fish ;)
Their is always 1 that gets away......or several as this case maybe 😂 Hope you had a good day despite the weather :)
You win some you lose some. 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Sorry you lost the fish, lol. Art finals went great for me, thanks to your channel!!!
It has to be said, it hasn’t stopped raining ☔️, or blowing a gail force winds for the last week. The BBC forecast has been rubbish all week. I get better forecasts from you to be fair.. Thank You so much for this video.. I’m not to sure if I’ve ever tasted Pollock , trip to the fish monger is in order. Stay safe and God Bless. R
You aren’t kidding. The weather has been horrendous hasn’t it. 😩
JEKYL & Hyde weather here in Bedfordshire.
Agh sure, if you caught the ling you wouldn't sing about the escape ;) wonderful video as always John, thanks for the effort!
You win some you lose some 🤣🤷🏻♂️
The local accent really broke through in the last few mins of the vid haha! Another great video, thanks for uploading!
Haha. I think a lot of people don’t actually realise that it’s a Yorkshire accent and not a Cornish one.
Don’t worry John, I’ll let you know when I’m out from next week and you’ll just have to pick the other days! Every trip out this year for me has been like this. The trip back from those fishing grounds has been bumpy to say the least! I had no idea you could ‘nearly’ catch a Ling there though. Looking forward to the summer......
Another cracking watch John, thank you! All the best to you and the family. 👍
I feel like you took it really well also! Great attitude John!
I’m feeling seasick watching this lol 😂....I’m not a boat person ....but enjoy your videos John 👍yet another cracking video mate 👍
Haha. It wasn’t a very nice day was it. 🤣
@@TheFishLocker John I used to scuba dive ...even on a flat calm day I used to feel seasick ....didn’t stop me diving though 👍
Didn't realise how golden Pollack are. Great stuff.
Hey, that is like when I go fishing. Its a day out so its all good.
A bad day on the boat is so much better than the best day at work!!!
😉👍🏻
Just what I need on a Sunday!
Nice video John.
We've all had days like that, but came good in the end.
Perseverance pays off.
Enjoyed every minute.
👍👏👌.
Thanks and stay safe. 😷
Brilliant episode mate glad to see I’m not the only person that misses bites lol
Fantastic mate. Well done! Swell like that worries me a bit. Stay safe
Great to see you out fishing again, those pollock were a good size John, stay safe 😁🍀
Brilliant video dude! Let's hope the weather improves and we all have more days out soon. I cant believe that pollock I got over the reef. It was hard to fish with the wind against the tide. Hope your throat is better now mate, I totally forgot to ask when I saw you sorry. All the best 👍✌
Love you and enjoy watching 😘
Thanks for another good video 👍🏼😀
Thank you. 👍🏻
Nice one again John.
👍🏻🎣
John as my late father would say and also dawned his boat with the name of my friend you've got the curse of the rubber hook
Thanks for the Video John
Great video as ever! The wrasse were lucky they strayed into one of your pots and not some of the others along the coastline! Some great sport from those Pollack
Aaaah after a long time...wonderful
Glad you liked it. 😊🎣
Well that was just rotten! Good on ya for not having to bleep out a string expletives!! Some days it's you and some days it's the fish!
Haha. You win some you lose some. 🤣🤷🏻♂️
Great watch John I know a few anglers would have thrown in the towel and probably their rods ,😆
Haha. I’m stubborn like that. 🤣🤷🏻♂️
Great video really enjoyed it you can't some fish at least in the end got some nice lobsters can't go wrong keep up the great work and stay safe mate
OMG,you are human after all 😂 I could feel your pain too 🤕 Rather you than me out in that chop 🎣
Haha. Every angler has those days.
Where you are we used to call 'old walls' with good whiting ground handy by....east of the 'three mile buoy'...yeah?
Some stunners.
Some lovely pollock there , that looked really hard fishing in that weather
Love you brother
Don't be surprised when i knock your door.
Probably next week. 😍
Haha. Don’t be surprised if I call the police. 🤣
Still talking about the one that got away. Good vid. Nice looking fish.
Haha. I will be for a while. Only now it’s 15lb 😉
Lush video again John. A real bummer when you lose a good fish but there is always another waiting to be caught. Stay safe and tight lines. Mike
So long as you learn a lesson it’s not a total loss. 😉🎣
Talk about windy weather !!!!
Tomorrow will be our first charter out in the ocean since almost 3 weeks ago !
And guess what? It would be one of your favorite charters.
It's a shark trip !! Lol.
We do all catch and release on the shark trips unless we get a nice small 5 foot Blacknose or similar shark.
Well anyways my friend on the other side of the pond.....YOU AND YOUR FAMILY STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY !
CHEERS !
P.S. - We didn't get to see the Ling AND YOU DISAPPOINTED ME !!!!
I couldn't believe you didn't make a grab for 'Old Faithful' the net !!!! LOL....
Haha. Becuase of the conditions I had stowed everything down tight so it didn’t roll around so the net was underneath some stuff and lashed away. You do get just a glimpse of the ling but sadly no money shot. Good luck on your charter mate. 👍🏻🎣
@@TheFishLocker Hey my friend.The ocean was beautiful and the two young men caught and released a few Atlantic Sharpnose sharks and then they both faught and caught after about a 20 minute battle they got about a 400 lb Goliath grouper.They took pictures and it was released also unharmed.
They have memories for a lifetime.
Nice fishing&lobster for tea, bonus.
Ive been eyeing up that Surf comfort Smock, how do you rate it for shore fishing off the rocks and for wading in surf? Looks v waterproof. Does it overheat easy, neck-area comfortable?
It is brilliant at keeping the water off. You can take a full wave to the face and you’re dry underneath. But it’s is not an easy fabric, I have never overheated in it but I use layers effectively.
Nice to know that John is human and he misses fish… then proceeds to catch loads more… maybe not human.
Nice shoutout to the commercial guys. It’s a tough line of work.
great vid mucker wish i had what you call hard day try the solent and i fancy you will see a tough day, good luck.
24:23 anybody else notice the "It's your lucky day." Ballan Wrasse just floating by on the surface in the lower left corner of the screen. Guess he just wanted to get some sun!
Oh did it? It must have gone under the boat and come back up!! 🤣
@@TheFishLocker sneaky little rascal, that wrasse!
Even though you lost a few you still had a great days fishing. Let’s hope weather improves soon.
Losing fish is the worst. I was up at lake Erie a couple of days ago and had a massive trout jump off of my line when it was almost at the boat.
It hurts you deep doesn’t it!! 😩
AT least it wasn't a Sucker!
