Evening John. I live and fish the same area as you. Firstly, I agree that kids bring an amazing amount of colds into the house! Secondly, you did the right thing by leaving that wreck. You will never win an argument with someone like that. I love your videos. Just keep fishing and stay away from anchors!
"I've been doing this for forty years " a smart feller would have realized he is doing it wrong by now ... Good thing that you are a patient and forgiving man -- been me I would have pulled anchor and done donuts around them for 20 minutes -- fish would not have come back to that wreck for a week
Very controlled John! Unfortunately there are people like that in all walks of life. I don’t profess to be an expert and know everything there is to know about fishing, but I do know about etiquette and good manners!
It's been a while since I stopped by The Fish Locker, and it's just as cozy and relaxing here as I remember. I can definitely tell the production and equipment value has increased greatly! Thanks for continuing to share your adventures with us.
@@TheFishLocker The camera clarity and quality is definitely a noticeable improvement. Do you still stream occasionally? I haven't seen the notification for a stream in a while, but I've also been working odd hours for the past 8 months or so.
Your chanels a lot more popular now, you tube pays, but not a fortune, so, we appreciate you re investing your income. A mate had a boat years ago, we called it the "money pit" . Its an expensive day out. Must take so much planning to make sure you get content, then the edit must take a day... 3 days to make a sunday video? 30+ hours? Keep doing what you do. Looks a good lifestyle if not one that makes you rich.
@@scotland.is.magical528 - That is a pretty fair assessment. Some videos are more complex. Underwater ones take more work. A sharking video for example is a 12 hour day on the boat minimum. Add 2 hours either side for prep and cleanup. Using 3 cameras that will take around 3 days or 20 hours to edit. Then there’s proof watching and upload. Plus the hundreds of comments to respond too. And that is per video.
Least you got to christen the new rod (out interst, what line were you running please?) and pop couple fish in the freezer. Nice knife skills on the filleting John. Now away with you back up North and leave those wreaks to the s*** kickers lololol. Couldnt make it up.....Nice video as usual. 🙂
Hey John, I know this may not reach you but I just want to personally thank you on all your content and the happiness you bring into my life, I first watched one of your videos years ago at my lowest point and from then on I would watch one of your videos and it would be my comfort and safety zone, I am saying this now because just a minute ago a woman very close to me and my family took her life, her daughter is the same age as my little sister and I am just ripped apart inside at the minute and this video has brought me many peace and comfort at this horrible time ... I hope you, your beautiful wife, little james and all your family and friends are healthy, well and happy
Thank you for the touching comment Ashley. I am sorry to hear about your friend. That is never an easy thing to deal with. I am glad to hear that our videos may have gone some way to helping you. Take care and have a wonderful day. 💙
@@TheFishLocker I am sincerely apologising if may have offended any of your faithful followers John with my previous comment regarding .303 Justice....unfortunately it has happened in our Australian tuna industry. Not a proud moment , However it happens.....It was a loose comment ,and for that i will be for ever sorry😎👍Aus
It's so amasing to see a man who respects the world around him, who takes care of nature strongly, who knows tons on info about local nature and still respects the people around him, even if he doesn't like them. A real man of honor who strives to live in harmony with the world abd with the life itself. John you bring peace to my life. Best wishes to the entire Locker family, James, you John, and Hannah, and of course the incredible Jim who taught me many tricks in the kitchen. The world should bless you all. Thank you! If I ever get a chance to visit Cornwall, I will definitely visit Spargo Kitchen and maybe see some of you at low tide.
I am a fisherman kayaker, and that's one of biggest peeves people getting really close to me and making a wake. So I basically need to stop what I am doing and turn my bow into in to the wake or risk flipping over. People have no common sense of space like I am happy to share my spot if you respect me. There are some that are pretty cool. Once one time i was tired fighting the wind and boater towed me to shore.
Another nice video. A few questions for you: How many wrecks are there in Cornwall? What is the oldest wreck? How many from WWII? Thanks for doing what you do.
I won't link it but there's a wikipedia page on wrecks of cornwall, naming as many as possible, tho some are unidentified. U-47 and U-55 were two very prolific U-boats in WW1 and many WW2 wrecks in cornwall were from mines or air bombardments. The earliest known wreck in Cornwall was reported in 1284 when 2 lives were lost at Kelynack, near St.Just. The first named wreck was a Spanish cargo ship known as the La Maudeleyne which stranded in (supposedly) in Mounts Bay and has become a scheduled ancient monument.
Hi John, you can't do much about the idiots of this world & you were spot on in leaving them to it. You managed to get a couple of very nice fish. Lovely video again mate, cheers, Don from South Aust.
You are a pleasure to watch and you know the fishing etiquette no doubt. You Handled that situation with class if you ask me. You can’t change a leopards spots as they say. Cheers!
I approached the boat with every intention of having a calm conversation. If the lads on board had been new to boating for example I would have simply explained what to do next time. Instead I might as well have banged my head against the side of the boat.
I live 40 miles up river from the sea and guess what? ……. We have had two seals over winter and it will come as no surprise that they both have tags on their flippers (consecutive numbers) from a seal sanctuary that rescued them. The worst part though is that they were “rewilded” 20 miles inland rather than at the coast so which direction did they swim in? Yep…..up river into fresh water. You couldn’t make it up could you.
We also have words for guys like that here in Ohio, which I won't post because this is family friendly channel. You also handled that better than I would have. Just out of curiosity, how far can your average angler accurately lob one of those 12oz weights? Asking for a friend. 😉
I’ve had exactly the same experience out drifting a wreck on my fathers boat. Dangerous and ignorant. Clearly you were really upset, I’d like to see how brave these people are on Terra Fima… fair play John for being the bigger man and leaving Mr entitled to it! Top fishing mate as always 👍
Its extremely annoying when other anglers decide your line doesnt matter. I was fishing in whitby and this angler kept casting into where my rigs were, which ended up with him losing a rig. I dont understand why some anglers just have the audacity to be so annoying especially at their loss. Either way I came back home with his rig 😂😂
John! I admire you being reserved (well kind of reserved!) with those type of people. I've heard many terms for fishermen like that, some very crass! Steaming away I'm sure was hard to bite your tongue but well done. Not worth it with someone like that. At least you got two cracking fish out of it!
Good morning John, I know what you are saying you always get idiots I have experienced the same issue's when I'm wrecking, these kind of people are not worth losing your aggression over as karma has a way to get its own way back ,its nice to see your catch of nice ling and that you have christened you new rod tight lines John regards to Hannah and James, I cannot wait for some more videos regards ken😅
Even though I only fish from the shore I really enjoy your videos John and your knowledge not just of angling but also of the sea is absolutely brilliant. You handled that situation so well too, some people just cant be reasoned with or educated so best just to leave them to it, there is allways another day as they say.
Almost all my fishing is fly fishing off the beach for salmon and sea trout in Hokkaido. It’s great to watch this wrecking even though I’ll not get the chance to try it unless I go out on a charter. Really interesting content. Thank you!
Hey BiG yin done summit to ma you tube I'm a vegetable John but still love you and max Hazy. Don't tell him a have him a(few) shout outs. Best wishes .the drunk,hic,hic.
It doesn't matter what part of the world you live in, inconsiderate, ignorant morons are everywhere. I don't even try to fish on weekends because I know people will cause no end to my grief.
Thanks Jon for another great video and I hope the idiots in the other boat watch your video and realise how dangerous there manoeuvre was. We've got loads of seals on the south coast also.
It’s clear to see from the overwhelming responses in the comments that it’s obvious what was done wrong. Hopefully that is enough to help educate more people.
Another great video, the ground swell was quite noticeable. Very interesting on your take on seals. I was a friend of the founder of the Gweek Seal Sanctuary, Ken Jones, I'm going back over 40 years, I never ever considered the spin you put on this, absolutely bang on, we humans are guilty of trying to fix things that are not broken, well...! at over 70, by quite a bit I have learned something new dispelling the adage... you cant teach an old dog new tricks...! you just have....Oh and the incursion of the other boat... in future say you know someone who fished these waters over 60 years ago...so don't act like a twat...! Until next time, thanks.
I will add to my comments that I do feel that if something has sustained injury due to human activity. Like one caught in pollution entanglement or from a boat strike etc. we have an obligation to provide care or to reduce suffering. But barring that we need to let nature take care of nature.
If you are serious about getting a boat, the best thing I can advise is make friends with someone with a boat and get him to be honest about the costs involved.
@@conaolaparaic1983 I've owned boats for years. It's not hard but it's probably cheaper to go out on charters, unless you fish a lot, or close to home
Well done and many thanks for bringing us an amazing series of videos. Still throughly enjoying them. Glad you bagged some Ling, those fillets looked very good indeed. Shame about the run in...proves that age doesn't necessarily mean experience. The worst was the intolerance! What century are we in? Still, looked like a beautiful day to be out, looking forward to the warmer kayak fishing, and as soon as I have shifted this cold that my daughter has give me 😊 tight lines and best wishes, Kev
Good day out mate 👍 not sure about you but one of the things I enjoy most about going out in my boat fishing is getting away from people! That guy if nothing else was just damn rude,.
Hello John, Another great video, I really enjoy watching all your videos and learning. I am a novice at fishing having only returned to the hobby last year. Please could you explain more about the issues with the other boat so I and others can avoid the same mistakes - the first two points you made about 1. Steaming close and washing you off the wreck and 2. Steaming over the wreck and scaring the fish make sense to me, these both seem like stupid things to do. However I do not understand your 3rd point though 3. Don't fish with lures on small neap tides. You tried to explain this in the video but I do not understand your point. Please could you go into more detail about why this is wrong to do and how it affected you/the other boat?
Glad you asked this as I was about to do the same! Hopefully we'll get an answer. He did sort of explain it later in the video: that neap tides you drift with bait. But no specific explanation as to why.
I have explained the principle many times in other videos - usually lure fishing ones. Predator fish take energy from the water around them. They feed when the tide is flowing. So lure fishing for them is far improved when the tide is flowing stronger. Neap tides are when the tide is running slowest. Also, using long booms and traces when the tide is slack causes unending tangles as there is no tide to keep the trace out straight.
So the dummy that’s been fishing for 30 years has about as much of a clue as Kermit the frog. Traveling around with the 3 stooges will get themselves hurt. Nice ling tho great job John 😊😊
@@TheFishLocker have a look into it fella its been a discussion for years, they use twin anti reverse, I only have two speed reels though maybe the single speed is different.
Top video & some great fish, shame about the clown coming so close. I could see the swell travelling closer & closer till he spoilt your position. Anyway mate unfortunately life's full of them. Tomorrow's another day take care cu later👍
Happy birthday, whenever it is.🎂🎁 Good to see you christened the new rod, and with the target species too.🎣👏 I wish my local seas were as clean and productive as yours.🥺 2 nice ling for the freezer🎣🎣, shame about the other boat, may have been more. I hope he's recognised from this video. But hey, I can always watch your great videos and dream.😀😀😴 Thanks for sharing, take care and stay safe.😷🙊 PS. Seals associate humans with food. Is that the same with seagulls after the fishermen throw them the guts?🤔 I'll remember that next time they nick my bait and sandwiches.🥺🤣🤣🤣
John, what’s your secret to staying upright on the boat without falling over? Every time I’m on a boat I’m all over the place lol great video as usual 👍🏻
I remember the first time I got robbed by a seal. I thought it was kinda funny, but nobody else did. As far as they were concerned the fishing was over until it had buggered off. After the 500th time, I started getting a bit annoyed. Nowadays I don't even bother casting if there's one around. The people who take them to sanctuaries and feed them from the pier are the same people who move to the country and then complain that it smells like shite. They have no idea of the realities of nature.
The guy behind the wheel wasn’t the issue. When I approached him he had the sense to have a conversation - I was fully prepared to talk about what had happened in a constructive manner to avoid it happening again. But the moron on deck just couldn’t keep his gob shut. 🤣🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
That bell end was a touch close for sure!! I hate that I get it a lot on big fresh water Lough’s! Brain dead and like you said dangerous,, I know old boys in my area have been fishing for 2 life times and all they use is feathers and kill everything they keep regardless of size! boils my blood
Great Video as always John, Gutted for you having to have that confrontation, You wasted your fuel going over to them, My true words Wouldn't be allowed on You Tube. I no longer hoilday in Cornwall & haven't for many Years. No intentions of ever returning
Why did that guy tell John to go back to where he came from? Is John from another part of the country? Is that something the other fisherman could tell from his accent?
That guy who steamed close to you like that did that so on purpose mate. As soon as you want to have words he says why don't you go back where u came from!!! What a nob. I love it when he says I've been doing 40 years and u say have u had ya eys closed cos ya doing it worong 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 just briliant. Some nice ling tho and when u hooked in to that shark as well great stuff mate really enjoyed it. Tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
What a piss take that other boat was all that ocean and he has to go near you I’d have told him to f**k off or done something to make him go I’ve had similar experience when I fish the canal they ether stop right in front of you or you can see them going slowly and then when they see me they kick up the engine and bring up the crap and it spoils the day and it’s killed the fish off the bite it really makes me mad when they have all the room. Keep up the good work John and happy birthday for when ever it is 😊
that anchor , that went past in the other boat ,, no respect .. i had the same in eastbourne today .. but it was a lifeboat 50 yards off the beach ,, im fishing a paid for match .tonys tackle mini open
So John? Cold stuff in the Family? Ever see The Julie Andrew's movie, THE SOUND OF MUSIC? Remember when she sung...A Spoon Full Of Sugar Helps The Medicine Go Down? I'll tell you that recipe... Ask your Elders if I'm incorrect... Two heaping tablespoons of Raw Honey thoroughly mixed with one Teaspoon of Gum Tar Spirits of Turpentine... Tastes like menthol.. Can mix it with a sweet tea
Hi first time watching, very enjoyable and you certainly know what you’re doing. As for the other %#*¥~{< Skippers I’m hearing you, Jet Skiers, Water Skies and all the rest total ignorance and no idea???? Unfortunately they think you’re/ us have the problem?? Yours in Fishing. 👍👍👍
Atleast that dick in the red boat hasnt come to bother yet this season, and its looking like the summer is on its way, lets hope its a long hot one like last year, all in all that was a great session even with the idiots, awesome to think that you were connected to something as amazing as a Porgie, session was a success, you needed food to feed the family and you got just that, cant be bad, that was great to watch John, thanks for sharing with us
I've been trying to work out your accent, I'm a north east fella myself John so I'm guessing you hale from somewhere between Whitby and Filey or maybe even Bridlington
Nice vid mate 👍 i was shore fishing in Anglesey the other weekend, i had a guy in a boat sail close to the rocks asking if i was catching anything, i had a few mackeral, so he pulled his feather rod out and stayed within casting range. There's some funny folk out there 😂
Hello John, I very rarely leave comments on youtube channels, before i say anything your channel is probably my favourite, I admire your honest approach to life and and the especially enjoy your videos with your son, your knowledge and explanations have taught me a lot since i started subscribing to your channel. Sadly for the very first time I don’t agree with you. Your view on Seals being a nuisance ? Im sure there are many (if not the majority) fishermen like yourself that find seals to be a nuisance when your out fishing (and thats all it is) So you go out fishing for the pleasure of being out on the sea and when its suitable to do so you keep fish for the table (the same as i do) A seal however is fishing to survive so should take priority. If the seal doesn't succeed it and possibly its pups may die of starvation, if you or I don't succeed we will pick up some food from the local shop on the way home. The reason seals starve is due to the massive over fishing by commercial boats close to out shores, hence seals going further out to sea to find food, If perhaps our Government band all commercial fishing within 3 miles of the shore then fishing for anglers like yourself and seals would not be a problem and it would very likely help with restocking/breading for all fish and fishing including commercial boats. As for that person that deliberately tried to mess up your fishing in his boat he should be ashamed of himself and well done to you for holding your composure, I don't think I would have done so well.
There are other instances where seals are a problem. My wording of the argument could have been better. Instead, seals who have come into contact with humans are a real problem and a nuisance. They not only damage fishing gear but eat only select parts of fish in nets - wasting vast amount of it and making it unsalable. Plus when they move into an area like a bass nursery or upstream into a weir pool they kill everything. Exactly the same as when a fox gets into a hen house.
At first I though perhaps a bit harsh with the accusations of lazy, following etc because most of the wrecks are marked and public knowledge, but the way those ahoolios approached with their vessel was outrageously provocative. Fair play that the confrontation/conversation was kept private and not milked for likes and views.
You can tell by the direction and way of approaching what their intentions are. Anyone worth their salt approaching to share the wreck could see the direction of drift and the position of the wreck by my orientation and position. They just don’t give a F about anyone else.
Must be terrible doing something for forty years and still not knowing what you are doing. Ive been in the engineering/fabrication game for 30yrs and every day is a day at school. If i had a pound for every time ive heard that id be able to by a boat pike yours😂😂😂
@@TheFishLocker ill put money on it they knew who you were knew you were filming that's why they did it, but I bet they never expected you to have a word hahaha get back were you belong hahaha the nerve. I've had the same in the lake district of the yocals I was only sitting having a coffee minding my own business it was like a scene out of the league of gentlemen "your not local" hahaha. Anyways keep up the good work you got a brilliant channel with brilliant content all the best bud.
On that ling spitting up pilchards, the black leopards at the Kevin Richardson sanctuary love pilchards in tomato sauce, funny how such different animals love pilchards
As a Cornishman John. I can only apologise for such rude and bad behaviour from this Cornishman. A lesson in manners wouldn't go a miss, as you had more right to be there than he did as you were there first. Love your channel and I watch it all the time. All the best. Tight lines. P.S. Loving the new live scope.
It’s common place for people to take turns and share a wreck that’s fishing well. But what he did was very bad behaviour and to get verbally aggressive and rude just showed he knew he was in the wrong.
Similar problem in Hawaii where the shark cage tour companies go to the FADs and chum to bring as many sharks in as possible. Over time they have linked the sound of boat engines to food, so when sportfishing boats troll near the FADs it's common to lose fish to sharks. Much more than it was a decade ago.
You should see it in Aug off Atlantic City 😂. I'll have a literal parade following me on the troll. I especially love when I'm sharking and those boneheads run or troll through my slick. I start throwing lead 😂. The worst part is if you try to correct them you become the dick.
Another great video, pity that you only got two ling though. I know that's not why we go fishing but if you costed them out taking into account lost tackle and fuel they were expensive fish!, As you rightly say it's no good trying to reason with idiots, you were very wise to leave, heaven knows what he'd have done next, possibly ram you for fishing his wreck, I really admired you response.
living on south west coast of africa and my son lives on the south west coust of Australia here we get blue sharks, grey sharks, cow sharks, great white sharks, bronze sharks, etc the only shark we market is the grey shark to china, yhe fins , liver, meat for ghark jerky but not for fish and chips like aus do you use shark meat for fish and chips?
I totally agree John, what a big plough anker, the sea is a vast place and to do what he did was outrageous, it’s just like him saying, I am here now F cough, “I am fishing this wreck”. He needs to get a life a show a bit more respect for other people. Apart from that plough anker, a good video as always John. Matt and myself look forward to fishing with you later on in the year, tight lines buddy
Hi having watched all your vids. (great stuff carry on) I'm a little confused as what is your favourite time of day. Me personally i love a good mid afternoon. was just wanting to confirm your favourite time of day.
I was gonna say dont be so angry with the guy cuz if your fishing a wreck he probably knows it and isnt following you and also that what he did driving by you or over the wreck really isnt that bad, you caught a fish afterwards and he's probably catching fish so they didnt get scared and you were maybe washed about in the wake but I dont think he threw you off especially if you got your line worked out with the wind and tide. Dont get so upset or angry about that stuff. However! What he said to you afterwards was a completely douche move if he was saying it to throw in your face rather than just casual talk. You can help animals out once in a while and its o.k. I live in a wilderness area where they tell people not to feed anything but the truth is some people know how to do it right without it becoming a problem and actually befriend wild animals like bears and wolves and foxes and some don't and do it in a irresponsible way which creates problems. I'm a firm believer that if you are given a chance to help an animal when it really needs it then you should do it and very good things come from it. I've developed this from years and years of experiences and figuring it out this way and that. Animals come to people for help and its not unnatural its natural and can be done and is fine and good, most of the percieved consequences that people mention is what they come up with in their heads when they try and use logic on their own terms to talk about what the cause and effect of such things are but really that's not what happens (not always) and the thing that they state will happen they've actually never seen it or known it for that specific instance so its all just a cyclical self reaffirming logic that isn't necessarily true or it may be a true concept for other things other situations but not that. I'm not trying to say too much here one way or the other I'm just trying to coax thought which is what I do with everything because I know how and why people think the things they do but I've seen all the sides they haven't. Deep down there is even a kind of deep natural code for these things that works itself out on many levels.
I agree, there is a balancing out in nature. But it’s when humans get too involved that it causes issues. People meaning well but without the broader picture knowledge to understand they are not helping.
S*it kicker 😂😂😂 Don't let people like that ruin your day John! Keep the realism and positivity. You can't argue with stupid, they just bring you down to their level 😂 "40 years!" Yea, and your still s*it mate 😂😂 Fish on John!
I feel your Frustration John, I've been back in England now for about 6 months it has changed so much, us English uesed to be a polit and respectfull people, it seem not many of us left now, same really
You still caught two great fish! I like to see the cleaning of the fish and I’d even love to see when you dispatch lobster and crab. If some people can’t handle that they shouldn’t watch these parts of your videos.
If the anchor chain is watching he might have to rethink is 40 years experience, have seen how it's done. I have boats going by with zero knowledge of the col regs cheerfully waving.
There should be enough fish for seals and rod and line fishermen, unfortunately trawlers have depleted fish stocks and existing quotas are not currently sustainable.
Macrell is not only good bait. It is even better food. Make filets and fry them with butter salt and pepper. fry some strips of potato and some vedgeables in the frying fat from the fish, and add some Sour cream and and place on the plate besides the fish. You can't get better food than that.
Evening John. I live and fish the same area as you. Firstly, I agree that kids bring an amazing amount of colds into the house! Secondly, you did the right thing by leaving that wreck. You will never win an argument with someone like that. I love your videos. Just keep fishing and stay away from anchors!
Fortunately those folks are a minority around here and not a true representation of Cornish folk. 👍🏻
"I've been doing this for forty years " a smart feller would have realized he is doing it wrong by now ... Good thing that you are a patient and forgiving man -- been me I would have pulled anchor and done donuts around them for 20 minutes -- fish would not have come back to that wreck for a week
Haha. Can’t argue with stupid.
Very controlled John! Unfortunately there are people like that in all walks of life. I don’t profess to be an expert and know everything there is to know about fishing, but I do know about etiquette and good manners!

Wtf was that guy doing steaming so close to you. Totally unnecessary there’s a whole ocean to manoeuvre in.

He was a right W⚓.

There are some that are pretty cool. Once one time i was tired fighting the wind and boater towed me to shore.

Probably getting the lat long position of the wreck. Happened often when i was a charter skipper. Arse holes ...

Another nice video. A few questions for you: How many wrecks are there in Cornwall? What is the oldest wreck? How many from WWII? Thanks for doing what you do.
I believe there are over 3000 wrecks around the Cornish coastline. Many are from the world wars. Some are even older.
I won't link it but there's a wikipedia page on wrecks of cornwall, naming as many as possible, tho some are unidentified. U-47 and U-55 were two very prolific U-boats in WW1 and many WW2 wrecks in cornwall were from mines or air bombardments.
The earliest known wreck in Cornwall was reported in 1284 when 2 lives were lost at Kelynack, near St.Just. The first named wreck was a Spanish cargo ship known as the La Maudeleyne which stranded in (supposedly) in Mounts Bay and has become a scheduled ancient monument.
Hi John, you can't do much about the idiots of this world & you were spot on in leaving them to it. You managed to get a couple of very nice fish. Lovely video again mate, cheers, Don from South Aust.
Cheers Don.
You are a pleasure to watch and you know the fishing etiquette no doubt. You Handled that situation with class if you ask me. You can’t change a leopards spots as they say. Cheers!
I approached the boat with every intention of having a calm conversation. If the lads on board had been new to boating for example I would have simply explained what to do next time. Instead I might as well have banged my head against the side of the boat.
Class John! Some right 🛎️ 🔚 about. Great video as ever 👏
Glad you enjoyed the video mate.
Always!!!
great video John, nice to hear someone say about people who can not leave things to nature, to many fluffy bunny bigrade as I call them
Sadly mate that’s the way of things. People with not enough knowledge and too much opinion.
I live 40 miles up river from the sea and guess what? ……. We have had two seals over winter and it will come as no surprise that they both have tags on their flippers (consecutive numbers) from a seal sanctuary that rescued them. The worst part though is that they were “rewilded” 20 miles inland rather than at the coast so which direction did they swim in? Yep…..up river into fresh water. You couldn’t make it up could you.
We also have words for guys like that here in Ohio, which I won't post because this is family friendly channel. You also handled that better than I would have. Just out of curiosity, how far can your average angler accurately lob one of those 12oz weights? Asking for a friend. 😉
Haha. I can hit a man at around 100 yards. But I’m not average. 😉
I’ve had exactly the same experience out drifting a wreck on my fathers boat. Dangerous and ignorant. Clearly you were really upset, I’d like to see how brave these people are on Terra Fima… fair play John for being the bigger man and leaving Mr entitled to it!
Top fishing mate as always 👍
I wouldn’t say upset, I would say aggrevated. 😉
@@TheFishLocker Did you ever see those lads again?
Its extremely annoying when other anglers decide your line doesnt matter. I was fishing in whitby and this angler kept casting into where my rigs were, which ended up with him losing a rig. I dont understand why some anglers just have the audacity to be so annoying especially at their loss. Either way I came back home with his rig 😂😂
Some folks just don’t have any comprehension of anything around them but their own interest.
John! I admire you being reserved (well kind of reserved!) with those type of people. I've heard many terms for fishermen like that, some very crass! Steaming away I'm sure was hard to bite your tongue but well done. Not worth it with someone like that. At least you got two cracking fish out of it!
When one of them got their phone out to video me I knew the conversation was about to go downhill so it’s best to just leave.
Love your fishing mate great videos
Thanks Bruce.
Good morning John,
I know what you are saying you always get idiots I have experienced the same issue's when I'm wrecking, these kind of people are not worth losing your aggression over as karma has a way to get its own way back ,its nice to see your catch of nice ling and that you have christened you new rod tight lines John regards to Hannah and James, I cannot wait for some more videos regards ken😅
Thank you Kenneth and have a great day. 😉👍🏻
Can i Suggest you go Diving with a net to catch sum food. that would be Epic.
Diving with a net is extremely dangerous. One of the greatest dangers to sea divers is becoming entangled in a net.
@@TheFishLocker My bad this is a bad suggestion this is something i grew up doing in New Brunswick Canada, had no idea how dangerous it was.
Cracking Ling John. Rather eat them than Cod as they've more flavour. Cheers mate, here's to the new summer upon us. 😊
They are a fantastic eating fish.
Even though I only fish from the shore I really enjoy your videos John and your knowledge not just of angling but also of the sea is absolutely brilliant. You handled that situation so well too, some people just cant be reasoned with or educated so best just to leave them to it, there is allways another day as they say.
That’s it exactly
PP: John, ignorance is the. the thing is made for fish!! eh Glad James not on board, I would kill.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\angry
Haha. James is great in those situations. 🤣
Almost all my fishing is fly fishing off the beach for salmon and sea trout in Hokkaido. It’s great to watch this wrecking even though I’ll not get the chance to try it unless I go out on a charter. Really interesting content. Thank you!
It’s is my pleasure Stephen I am glad that you found it interesting 😊👍🏻🎣
Hey BiG yin done summit to ma you tube I'm a vegetable John but still love you and max Hazy.
Don't tell him a have him a(few) shout outs.
Best wishes .the drunk,hic,hic.
🍻
You can always see how appreciative of the water he is. Enjoyed the video. See you in the next one, John. Stay safe.
Take care and I’ll see you in the next one. 😉👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker3
It doesn't matter what part of the world you live in, inconsiderate, ignorant morons are everywhere. I don't even try to fish on weekends because I know people will cause no end to my grief.
It’s only going to get worse as the summer starts. 🤣
oouuuuut on the boaaaat. It's Newton's law, for every responsible behaving decent fisherman you get a knob who isn't.
Haha. You might be onto something there mate. 🤣
Thanks Jon for another great video and I hope the idiots in the other boat watch your video and realise how dangerous there manoeuvre was.
We've got loads of seals on the south coast also.
It’s clear to see from the overwhelming responses in the comments that it’s obvious what was done wrong. Hopefully that is enough to help educate more people.
Ah,the classic encounter with a greater crested shitehawk.....you'd get more sense talking to yer muppets john
Haha. Yes!!! 🤣
Another great video, the ground swell was quite noticeable.
Very interesting on your take on seals. I was a friend of the founder of the Gweek Seal Sanctuary, Ken Jones, I'm going back over 40 years, I never ever considered the spin you put on this, absolutely bang on, we humans are guilty of trying to fix things that are not broken, well...! at over 70, by quite a bit I have learned something new dispelling the adage... you cant teach an old dog new tricks...! you just have....Oh and the incursion of the other boat... in future say you know someone who fished these waters over 60 years ago...so don't act like a twat...! Until next time, thanks.
I will add to my comments that I do feel that if something has sustained injury due to human activity. Like one caught in pollution entanglement or from a boat strike etc. we have an obligation to provide care or to reduce suffering. But barring that we need to let nature take care of nature.
Find out where his moored up and rap aload of nets arround his prop. He can spend the next 40 years unwinding it and changing seals.
The lad who was skippering the boat wasn’t the issue. It was the mongo stood on deck that couldn’t shut his mouth.
Absolutely love your vids John. hopefully one day I can get my own boat !!
I am the same would love to get my own boat I find fishing very relaxing even if u catching nothing
If you are serious about getting a boat, the best thing I can advise is make friends with someone with a boat and get him to be honest about the costs involved.
@@conaolaparaic1983 I've owned boats for years. It's not hard but it's probably cheaper to go out on charters, unless you fish a lot, or close to home
That was a dic k head move on the other boat. The entire ocean and he needs to come within 15 feet to pass you. Sorry that happened to you
Sadly you meet people like that in every walk of life 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Well done and many thanks for bringing us an amazing series of videos. Still throughly enjoying them. Glad you bagged some Ling, those fillets looked very good indeed. Shame about the run in...proves that age doesn't necessarily mean experience. The worst was the intolerance! What century are we in? Still, looked like a beautiful day to be out, looking forward to the warmer kayak fishing, and as soon as I have shifted this cold that my daughter has give me 😊 tight lines and best wishes, Kev
I always kind of think. If your fall back argument is “go back where you came from” you don’t have a very strong argument.
@@TheFishLocker As always, you sum things up perfectly! Best wishes, Kev
Good day out mate 👍 not sure about you but one of the things I enjoy most about going out in my boat fishing is getting away from people! That guy if nothing else was just damn rude,.
Haha. That is something I also enjoy. 😉
Hello John, Another great video, I really enjoy watching all your videos and learning. I am a novice at fishing having only returned to the hobby last year.
Please could you explain more about the issues with the other boat so I and others can avoid the same mistakes - the first two points you made about 1. Steaming close and washing you off the wreck and 2. Steaming over the wreck and scaring the fish make sense to me, these both seem like stupid things to do. However I do not understand your 3rd point though 3. Don't fish with lures on small neap tides. You tried to explain this in the video but I do not understand your point. Please could you go into more detail about why this is wrong to do and how it affected you/the other boat?
Glad you asked this as I was about to do the same! Hopefully we'll get an answer. He did sort of explain it later in the video: that neap tides you drift with bait. But no specific explanation as to why.
I have explained the principle many times in other videos - usually lure fishing ones. Predator fish take energy from the water around them. They feed when the tide is flowing. So lure fishing for them is far improved when the tide is flowing stronger. Neap tides are when the tide is running slowest. Also, using long booms and traces when the tide is slack causes unending tangles as there is no tide to keep the trace out straight.
@@TheFishLocker Hello John, that's perfect thank you for taking the time to reply to my question.
So the dummy that’s been fishing for 30 years has about as much of a clue as Kermit the frog. Traveling around with the 3 stooges will get themselves hurt. Nice ling tho great job John 😊😊
Been fishing so long they know it all. Yet still catch no fish. 🤔🤣
I really want to get one of them reels, but does the clicker being permanently on not annoy you? would drive me mental
you can take a washer out which will stop that, lovely reels but heavy and bulky.
The click is the anti reverse mechanism. If you take it out, the reel doesn’t work properly.
Sadly that is the sound they make.
@@TheFishLocker have a look into it fella its been a discussion for years, they use twin anti reverse, I only have two speed reels though maybe the single speed is different.
Top video & some great fish, shame about the clown coming so close. I could see the swell travelling closer & closer till he spoilt your position. Anyway mate unfortunately life's full of them. Tomorrow's another day take care cu later👍
Well done John, just shows who the bigger man is 👍🏼
Haha. I don’t know about that. I just knew it was going to end in violence. 🤣
There’s always one, everytime, do you think he was trying to get on your film John? The mentality of some people really gets me
Haha. Who knows mate.
What a beautiful looking day…living the life pal!
Have a good one mate. 👍🏻😊
Happy birthday, whenever it is.🎂🎁
Good to see you christened the new rod, and with the target species too.🎣👏
I wish my local seas were as clean and productive as yours.🥺
2 nice ling for the freezer🎣🎣, shame about the other boat, may have been more. I hope he's recognised from this video.
But hey, I can always watch your great videos and dream.😀😀😴
Thanks for sharing, take care and stay safe.😷🙊
PS. Seals associate humans with food.
Is that the same with seagulls after the fishermen throw them the guts?🤔
I'll remember that next time they nick my bait and sandwiches.🥺🤣🤣🤣
Yes the freezer is looking a lot better now. Have a good one mate and take care. 😊👍🏻
John, what’s your secret to staying upright on the boat without falling over? Every time I’m on a boat I’m all over the place lol great video as usual 👍🏻
Time at sea after a while you body just knows
Unfortunately mate there is no trick. It’s just experience and sea legs.
@@TheFishLocker 🤣 oh well i guess i will just have to keep falling about 🤣 great videos though John, thank you 🙏
Bend your knees and go with the flow dude
Sea legs.. is that fins? 😂 You might try Wing Tsung basic stance
I remember the first time I got robbed by a seal. I thought it was kinda funny, but nobody else did. As far as they were concerned the fishing was over until it had buggered off. After the 500th time, I started getting a bit annoyed. Nowadays I don't even bother casting if there's one around. The people who take them to sanctuaries and feed them from the pier are the same people who move to the country and then complain that it smells like shite. They have no idea of the realities of nature.
Haha. Exactly that mate. Made me chuckle that.
You can't fix stupid. Some folks are clueless.
Great video as usual, John.
True mate.
never argue with an idiot they drag you down to there level then beat you with experience
Very true.
The same lads would be out pulling other peoples crab pots.
Hopefully not.
Hopefully, someone recognized that guys boat and gives him a stern talking to about the rules on the water.
The guy behind the wheel wasn’t the issue. When I approached him he had the sense to have a conversation - I was fully prepared to talk about what had happened in a constructive manner to avoid it happening again. But the moron on deck just couldn’t keep his gob shut. 🤣🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
That bell end was a touch close for sure!! I hate that I get it a lot on big fresh water Lough’s! Brain dead and like you said dangerous,, I know old boys in my area have been fishing for 2 life times and all they use is feathers and kill everything they keep regardless of size! boils my blood
Some folks you will never change their minds. They already know too much.
How about trying out some vintage reels such as the mitchell 624 reel ?
I’m not sure which that is?
@@TheFishLocker google "mitchell 624 reel"
You always get that one person who thinks they own the water
There’s plenty for everyone providing we have sensibly.
A bit sensibly is very short on the ground these days
Great Video as always John, Gutted for you having to have that confrontation, You wasted your fuel going over to them, My true words Wouldn't be allowed on You Tube. I no longer hoilday in Cornwall & haven't for many Years. No intentions of ever returning
Really? Why so mate?
Why did that guy tell John to go back to where he came from? Is John from another part of the country? Is that something the other fisherman could tell from his accent?
Yes mate. I’m from Gods county of Yorkshire. I now live in gods summer home of Cornwall 😉
@@TheFishLocker Thank you, friend. I'm American and can't tell the the various regional accents apart.
You had a cracking day, except for the 40 Yr Moron.
In all of seas in all of the world,the Moron turned up of the Cornish Coast...What a Banker!!
Thank fully there aren’t too many like him.
That guy who steamed close to you like that did that so on purpose mate. As soon as you want to have words he says why don't you go back where u came from!!! What a nob. I love it when he says I've been doing 40 years and u say have u had ya eys closed cos ya doing it worong 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 just briliant. Some nice ling tho and when u hooked in to that shark as well great stuff mate really enjoyed it. Tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
Some days it’s just like that mate. 🤣🤷🏻♂️
What a piss take that other boat was all that ocean and he has to go near you I’d have told him to f**k off or done something to make him go I’ve had similar experience when I fish the canal they ether stop right in front of you or you can see them going slowly and then when they see me they kick up the engine and bring up the crap and it spoils the day and it’s killed the fish off the bite it really makes me mad when they have all the room. Keep up the good work John and happy birthday for when ever it is 😊
Frustrating isn’t it. It would be very easy to lose your temper in that situation.
that anchor , that went past in the other boat ,, no respect .. i had the same in eastbourne today .. but it was a lifeboat 50 yards off the beach ,, im fishing a paid for match .tonys tackle mini open
Lifeboats get an free one. 😉🤣
But all they did was wave at people on the beach...@###22#£#
It ruined my chances of catching a fish 🐟
So John? Cold stuff in the Family? Ever see The Julie Andrew's movie, THE SOUND OF MUSIC? Remember when she sung...A Spoon Full Of Sugar Helps The Medicine Go Down? I'll tell you that recipe... Ask your Elders if I'm incorrect... Two heaping tablespoons of Raw Honey thoroughly mixed with one Teaspoon of Gum Tar Spirits of Turpentine... Tastes like menthol.. Can mix it with a sweet tea
Nice 👌🏻
Hi first time watching, very enjoyable and you certainly know what you’re doing.
As for the other %#*¥~{< Skippers I’m hearing you, Jet Skiers, Water Skies and all the rest total ignorance and no idea????

Take care Greg and have a good one mate. 😉👍🏻
Atleast that dick in the red boat hasnt come to bother yet this season, and its looking like the summer is on its way, lets hope its a long hot one like last year, all in all that was a great session even with the idiots, awesome to think that you were connected to something as amazing as a Porgie, session was a success, you needed food to feed the family and you got just that, cant be bad, that was great to watch John, thanks for sharing with us
I knew when I lifted into it and it just went “No” 🤣
There is always someone of that nature unfortunately and it is best to just ignore them. We had a term for them and used to just say "Weight Anchor"
Haha.
You should name and shame the boat! And location so everyone else can steal there spot of “40 years”
Haha. I won’t mate as the lad at the wheel wasn’t the problem. It was his gobby mate on deck.
Sorry John, maybe he is jealous of your skills? Regards to family & happy days from Cyprus! 🐟🐟🐟🐟
Who knows? Haha. 🤷🏻♂️

Some folk are fannies. Hope you see them again on dry land John. Need put on their arses

Spot on.
Nice vid mate 👍 i was shore fishing in Anglesey the other weekend, i had a guy in a boat sail close to the rocks asking if i was catching anything, i had a few mackeral, so he pulled his feather rod out and stayed within casting range. There's some funny folk out there 😂
Lesson learned for next time mate. Tell him you haven’t caught anything. 🤣
@@TheFishLocker haha i like it 👍
Second comment,
We see that sort of thing fishing rivers and lakes, Peps that don`t do the time or home work to find their own spots...
Frustrating isn’t it. 🤷🏻♂️
Hello John, I very rarely leave comments on youtube channels, before i say anything your channel is probably my favourite, I admire your honest approach to life and and the especially enjoy your videos with your son, your knowledge and explanations have taught me a lot since i started subscribing to your channel.
Sadly for the very first time I don’t agree with you.
Your view on Seals being a nuisance ? Im sure there are many (if not the majority) fishermen like yourself that find seals to be a nuisance when your out fishing (and thats all it is) So you go out fishing for the pleasure of being out on the sea and when its suitable to do so you keep fish for the table (the same as i do) A seal however is fishing to survive so should take priority. If the seal doesn't succeed it and possibly its pups may die of starvation, if you or I don't succeed we will pick up some food from the local shop on the way home. The reason seals starve is due to the massive over fishing by commercial boats close to out shores, hence seals going further out to sea to find food, If perhaps our Government band all commercial fishing within 3 miles of the shore then fishing for anglers like yourself and seals would not be a problem and it would very likely help with restocking/breading for all fish and fishing including commercial boats. As for that person that deliberately tried to mess up your fishing in his boat he should be ashamed of himself and well done to you for holding your composure, I don't think I would have done so well.
There are other instances where seals are a problem. My wording of the argument could have been better. Instead, seals who have come into contact with humans are a real problem and a nuisance. They not only damage fishing gear but eat only select parts of fish in nets - wasting vast amount of it and making it unsalable. Plus when they move into an area like a bass nursery or upstream into a weir pool they kill everything. Exactly the same as when a fox gets into a hen house.
At first I though perhaps a bit harsh with the accusations of lazy, following etc because most of the wrecks are marked and public knowledge, but the way those ahoolios approached with their vessel was outrageously provocative.
Fair play that the confrontation/conversation was kept private and not milked for likes and views.
You can tell by the direction and way of approaching what their intentions are. Anyone worth their salt approaching to share the wreck could see the direction of drift and the position of the wreck by my orientation and position. They just don’t give a F about anyone else.
Must be terrible doing something for forty years and still not knowing what you are doing. Ive been in the engineering/fabrication game for 30yrs and every day is a day at school. If i had a pound for every time ive heard that id be able to by a boat pike yours😂😂😂
Spent 40 years fishing but hasn’t used his brain once. 🤣
Yes John lad, you can take the lad out of the Northeast, but you can't take the Northeast out of the lad hahaha get his lugs warmed youngn hahaha.
When the lad onboard got his phone out to film me I knew it was only going to get worse. 🤷🏻♂️
@@TheFishLocker ill put money on it they knew who you were knew you were filming that's why they did it, but I bet they never expected you to have a word hahaha get back were you belong hahaha the nerve. I've had the same in the lake district of the yocals I was only sitting having a coffee minding my own business it was like a scene out of the league of gentlemen "your not local" hahaha. Anyways keep up the good work you got a brilliant channel with brilliant content all the best bud.
Sadly, you can't educate pork unfortunately. Some people hey. Keep being awesome man, love your videos!
Thanks bud. Have a good one mate. 👍🏻
On that ling spitting up pilchards, the black leopards at the Kevin Richardson sanctuary love pilchards in tomato sauce, funny how such different animals love pilchards
Haha
As a Cornishman John. I can only apologise for such rude and bad behaviour from this Cornishman. A lesson in manners wouldn't go a miss, as you had more right to be there than he did as you were there first. Love your channel and I watch it all the time. All the best. Tight lines. P.S. Loving the new live scope.
It’s common place for people to take turns and share a wreck that’s fishing well. But what he did was very bad behaviour and to get verbally aggressive and rude just showed he knew he was in the wrong.
Similar problem in Hawaii where the shark cage tour companies go to the FADs and chum to bring as many sharks in as possible. Over time they have linked the sound of boat engines to food, so when sportfishing boats troll near the FADs it's common to lose fish to sharks. Much more than it was a decade ago.
That’s really interesting. I hear there are issues with this in the Red Sea.
You should see it in Aug off Atlantic City 😂. I'll have a literal parade following me on the troll. I especially love when I'm sharking and those boneheads run or troll through my slick. I start throwing lead 😂. The worst part is if you try to correct them you become the dick.
That’s the most frustrating part. 🤷🏻♂️
Another great video, pity that you only got two ling though. I know that's not why we go fishing but if you costed them out taking into account lost tackle and fuel they were expensive fish!,
As you rightly say it's no good trying to reason with idiots, you were very wise to leave, heaven knows what he'd have done next, possibly ram you for fishing his wreck, I really admired you response.
I approached them with the intention of a calm conversation. When it was clear who and what I was talking to it wasn’t worth my time.
yea there is a lot of this nasty lergy about . . . .cough . . .
The kids are to blame. Flippin Petrie dish for germs. 🤣
We have a word for the guys who follow folk round like that in Pontefract. It begins with C and ends in unt!
Haha.
More polite than I would have been!. What an a*sehole doing that!. A fishing 'Karen!' You didn't ask permission to fish 'his' wreck!. 🤣
What can I say, don’t let other people dictate your behaviour. 🤷🏻♂️
living on south west coast of africa and my son lives on the south west coust of Australia here we get blue sharks, grey sharks, cow sharks, great white sharks, bronze sharks, etc the only shark we market is the grey shark to china, yhe fins , liver, meat for ghark jerky but not for fish and chips like aus do you use shark meat for fish and chips?
Smaller species are still taken for consumption.
I totally agree John, what a big plough anker, the sea is a vast place and to do what he did was outrageous, it’s just like him saying, I am here now F cough, “I am fishing this wreck”. He needs to get a life a show a bit more respect for other people. Apart from that plough anker, a good video as always John. Matt and myself look forward to fishing with you later on in the year, tight lines buddy
Thanks Gary. Have a good one mate. 👍🏻🎣
Hi having watched all your vids. (great stuff carry on) I'm a little confused as what is your favourite time of day. Me personally i love a good mid afternoon. was just wanting to confirm your favourite time of day.
Sunrise.
I was gonna say dont be so angry with the guy cuz if your fishing a wreck he probably knows it and isnt following you and also that what he did driving by you or over the wreck really isnt that bad, you caught a fish afterwards and he's probably catching fish so they didnt get scared and you were maybe washed about in the wake but I dont think he threw you off especially if you got your line worked out with the wind and tide. Dont get so upset or angry about that stuff. However! What he said to you afterwards was a completely douche move if he was saying it to throw in your face rather than just casual talk. You can help animals out once in a while and its o.k. I live in a wilderness area where they tell people not to feed anything but the truth is some people know how to do it right without it becoming a problem and actually befriend wild animals like bears and wolves and foxes and some don't and do it in a irresponsible way which creates problems. I'm a firm believer that if you are given a chance to help an animal when it really needs it then you should do it and very good things come from it. I've developed this from years and years of experiences and figuring it out this way and that. Animals come to people for help and its not unnatural its natural and can be done and is fine and good, most of the percieved consequences that people mention is what they come up with in their heads when they try and use logic on their own terms to talk about what the cause and effect of such things are but really that's not what happens (not always) and the thing that they state will happen they've actually never seen it or known it for that specific instance so its all just a cyclical self reaffirming logic that isn't necessarily true or it may be a true concept for other things other situations but not that. I'm not trying to say too much here one way or the other I'm just trying to coax thought which is what I do with everything because I know how and why people think the things they do but I've seen all the sides they haven't. Deep down there is even a kind of deep natural code for these things that works itself out on many levels.
I agree, there is a balancing out in nature. But it’s when humans get too involved that it causes issues. People meaning well but without the broader picture knowledge to understand they are not helping.
Love the video mate, would love to take you out on our boat one day! We’re good friends with mark from master line
Send me a PM to the Fishlocker Fb page. 👍🏻

I blame the erosion of family values.
those numpties knocked your end in John, some people have no common sense
Sadly that’s the world we live in.
You still caught two great fish! I like to see the cleaning of the fish and I’d even love to see when you dispatch lobster and crab. If some people can’t handle that they shouldn’t watch these parts of your videos.
I feel it is important too, but unfortunately those that don’t complain longer and louder than you would believe.
Brilliant video again. Love your stuff. Look like you encountered a C U Next Tuesday. I’m afraid the world is full of them.
A few of them mate. 😉🤣
If the anchor chain is watching he might have to rethink is 40 years experience, have seen how it's done. I have boats going by with zero knowledge of the col regs cheerfully waving.
Yes. You see it every day mate.
There should be enough fish for seals and rod and line fishermen, unfortunately trawlers have depleted fish stocks and existing quotas are not currently sustainable.
I agree about the trawlers, but question the comment about quotas. 👍🏻
Macrell is not only good bait. It is even better food. Make filets and fry them with butter salt and pepper. fry some strips of potato and some vedgeables in the frying fat from the fish, and add some Sour cream and and place on the plate besides the fish. You can't get better food than that.
I agree. Fresh is amazing.
Wrong booms and driving straight over he wreck is probably why he's been fishing the same wreck for 40 years 🤣 Can't catch anything.
