    I've said this before, but thanks for all this content - when life gets hard some of your videos will pop up and they instantly take me away from the stress and make me feel better, it's the closest I can get to that first breath of sea air when I'm in situations where I can't sack work off and just go play on the beach. I reckon your videos have that effect on a few lads on here, so thanks. Hope life's good to you and your family!

      Thank you very much mate. We do not need much to be happy tbh. I feel that is a big part of a happier life. I have always said that we simply share what we know and love doing in the hope that helps people out in some way. So to hear this from you really makes the effort we put in worth it. 😊👍🏻💙

    The wife LOVED catching a few wrasse on our recent 2-week holiday in Cornwall.
    The reason we caught those stunning wrasse, why you of course, John. It was from following your advice, rigs and tactics that we had an absolute blast out at Godrevy, from the rocks.

    I grew up in the Pacific Northwest of the USA, about 60 miles due east and inland of Rockaway Beach, Oregon. When I was a girl we went to the beach - you would probably say coast - at least 4 to 8 times a year. My mother would take us to the rock pools at low tide. Sometimes we'd go clamming. We'd occasionally look for berries or other wild foods. Sometimes crabbing. Rarely we'd fish. I always wanted to learn more about fishing.
    I did 5 years Active Duty in the US Navy so I had a chance to go to some really exotic places. My shipmates would go fishing. I went to the beaches with a guy who fished, and that was great fun.
    Your videos, which I only discovered about 2 months ago, are fascinating. Your work in front of the camera is quite good! I especially like your underwater work, but it's all very wonderful.
    But it's the editing that I think sells the show. Do you do your own editing?

    A master class in Wrasse fishing John. Nice mark. That Pippet will be glad to get rid of you lol. When I catch a good Ballan wrasse I sometimes say ' What a corker', and my mate would say 'That's not a Corker, that's a Ballan'. Shake of the head by me and he shuts up with a smirk lol. Great session bud, thanks for sharing as usual. Tight lines and all the best.

    My mum's favourite fish to catch, she's a master. I remember watching her, dad and a mate ledgering for a boss Ballan in the harbour for over an hour, and eventually hauling out a 4 pounder after several ragworm feeds. They're really fierce on the rod, properly pulling it over if you're not careful. Thankfully they're also tenacious and greedy. You just took me back down memory lane. Brilliant footage as always John, thank you 😉

Oh, and the dishes are mouthwatering! Hauling lobster pots looks like hard work, and we almost lean toward the TV when you open them up to see whats inside. The latest with the wrasse is amazing, and incredible fish to see. I have yet to catch one from East Devon beaches, but hopefully soon from the kayak... The whole family is now pretty much 'hooked' on your videos, that's my wife, two daughters and me! Look forward to the next one eagerly! Best wishes to you all.

    I like fishing onshore on the rocks you never know what you'll get. Well done on video editing and also how to bait the worms. Smart idea to bring extra weights and hooks when fishing on the rocks I know by first hands. John, look like you were getting the bigger fish casting out than fishing in close, very nice.

    • @TheFishLocker
      @TheFishLocker  2 роки тому +1

      The bigger fish just came through on the feed as the tide got higher. None of my casts were further than 50 yards.

Was really good practice sorting out lines and lures and stuff, really just want to say thanks for getting me into fishing, definitely started something here... 😛 can't wait to carry it back on in the UK now, closest access to sea for me is Maldon so will see what I can do here 🙂 Thanks and keep up the fantastic content!

    Hi John, when i used to do alot of Sea Fishing (stopped due to my health) and it was Rock fishing or Menai Straights fishing, i used to use old spark plugs from garages as the weight saves on using lead weights and having to make or buy some more, if the line was snagged and it snapped it was only a spark plug that was lost, saves on money at least, especially with looking at todays prices.
    Loving your videos, keep up the good work,
