- I am working through editing several shore videos covering the basic aspects of shore fishing for anglers wishing to get into our sport. Does anyone have any suggestions for info to cover? 👍🏻🎣
Its very good you are fishing on shore, I love it 🥰 thank you John
Lure fishing from the rocks for pollack wrasse and but running though the lures to use
Where too and not too lure fish, what tackle and what lures etc, I was in Charleston today.. turns out I’m better at catching pike😂👍🏻
Could you cover what rigs for what type of shore or sea beds..
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I’m just starting shore angling from years on the lakes!. This is just what I need TY John. Frank 🐟🦅
- There are more to come in editing mate.
Exactly the same here mate
I've watched a few people making videos about our hobby.
I keep coming back to yours as you are much, much better to follow.
Thanks so much.
Thank you Jay. We are simply sharing what we love doing.
The sound of those waves is making me really want to go fishing. It's nice and cold too, perfect for the cod. Damn the lockdown!
- You can fish now. 😊
@@TheFishLocker Cheers. I have just checked the new guidlines and we can! Happy days.
What is more fun than sitting on a freezing cold beach fishing and listening to the sound of the waves? 👍🏻🎣
- Sitting on a warm beach.....
Looking at the fishing lines disappearing into the darkness and roar of a night time sea, evokes my memories of the beautiful muse and peacefulness you get at night. I do miss the flickering light of the oil lamps and gas lamps though.
Fantastic video yet again, thanks!!
- There is a deep peace to fishing isn’t there. 😊
@@TheFishLocker There is mate. The atmosphere, the feel of the surroundings, the contemplation of the beauty of it all, inspired me to become an artist decades ago. I based some of my work on the sea and coastline, trying to capture what I saw and felt, capture the beauty of it all. Moody seascapes and abstract paintings based on water flowing through rock pools and seaweed as such.
Mate love your vids you are a natural, no nonsense and no ego, great vids mate keep it up
- Thank you Kevin, I am glad that you enjoyed the video. We are simply trying to share what we know and love doing. Simple, honest and original content. 😊
Cheers for that, only been fishing for about - 6 months after watching loads of these vids during the last lockdown, managed a couple trips a week ever since, absolutely love it. Caused a stir with a few seasoned anglers on the beach as my very first fish caught was a 5 and a half pound smoothy from Slapton. Can't wait to get out again.
- Haha. Thats brilliant, its amazing how many times the best fish in a match or session falls to a relative newcomer. Good luck and tight lines Ade. 😊
I so miss that sound of the waves breaking on the shore!
- Calming isn't it. 😊
VERY!
Excellent informative film.just the sound of the surf and the rod tips brings back many fond memories
It is all part of the experience isn't it. Those who don't fish often don't understand. Take care and tight lines Alex. 😊
Best stuff on utube...no other compares.
- Thank you John. I am glad that you think so. 😊
Hiya from Scotland. I do appreciate your passion and you are a good pedagogue even for a Frenchy like me living in wild Alba. Thanks
My pleasure. 😊
If you look to the west and go back in time about sixty or so years you would see my parents and I surf fishing at the end of Island Beach State Park, NJ. We were freezing our arses off as you are now.
- Haha. Madness.
Great video. I'm just returned to beach fishing after many years and what I learnt was not to fish after a storm. The bottom was so churned up that every cast I gathered masses of weed, that was dragging on my line and making the fishing a bad experience.
Glad you re enjoying the videos John, just after a bit of bad weather can be really good.
Well done John, great advice, great viewing as always. Keep um coming if you can. You've just made my evening. CHEERS.
- Thanks Simon. Take care mate. 👍🏻
Just spent the last 1.5hrs watching various sea fishing videos and learnt very little, this video however, I have learnt so much. Very informative and easy to follow. Keep up the great work 👍
I am very glad to hear that Danny. If you are looking for educational video have a look at my playlist “Shore fishing for beginners” there should be a few tips and tricks on there for you hopefully. 😉👍🏻🎣
I will be browsing through your other videos when I get time. I can't wait to hit the coast again now with the new knowledge I have gained
@@dannyrobertson9008 - Good luck and tight lines. 😊👍🏻
For people like me that can't fish, videos like these are superb. Starting with the waves crashing on the beach, the cold which you demonstrated and that feeling of being alone are a major part of the enjoyment. (I was always told if you go sea fishing, dress as if its going to be 10 degrees colder than you think it will be you can always remove clothing if you are too warm). Anyway its like being there for me. The tips were superb and great tip on deep hooked dogfish (I know there not your favourite but those eyes are beautiful) as always you take great care of your fish from catching to release. For someone who will never own a boat these shore fishing videos are great.
- I am glad that you are enjoying the videos David, I have a few more shore videos coming up that you should enjoy. Take care mate 😊
Wish I had found your instructional vids earlier than I did. They are brilliant John. Well done again. Now I realise I was making basic mistakes & making life difficult for myself. Sold my boat recently due to it constantly being vandalised on the club hard. Now have a couple of dedicated fishing kayaks & trailer where they live at home on my drive. Miss the boat sometimes but I do enjoy my kayaking & its cheaper than boat owning ha!! 😬👍🍻
I wish I had had someone to teach me these things when I started out. haha. 😊
Haha crapboatlaunchersRus but no longer yourself. Lessons learned lol!! 👍💪
Hello mate, good to see you and good to see your clip.
❤️ from Iran 🇮🇷 to you and every one
- Thank you sir. 👍🏻🎣
Great video again john really was brass monkey weather wasn't it .That pulley rig you were right it did work on a weir one of my boys used it only lost two leads caught three chub and small barbel no tackle lost great tip john you all keep safe tight lines
- Have you ever heard of those bendy leads. Like a rubber tube with lead shot in the end.
John - My father used to used heavy carpet threat years ago to wind around the bait when we were lake shore fishing to stop the little marauders from picking our cut baits apart just like you are doing now @ 05:30. For catfish bait, the folks had an ancient old smelly roast kept frozen in the basement freezer that catfish. Great tips still work no matter what their age.
Least you wer out doing it for the team John all the very best stay safe and give my love to the family 🏴🏴🏴🏴👍🏻👍🏻
- Take it easy mate. 👍🏻
Another great video, I beach fish off the Suffolk coast spending many a freezing cold night waiting for now very allusive Cod only to be plagued by small whiting, no matter how big the hook they’ll always take the bait!
- Haha. They are frustrating like that aren't they.lol.
thanks for another great video .... full of information without being preachy
- Thank you, I am glad the video comes across that way.😊
excellent video of showing you how to stay safe with lots of useful tips brilliant
- Glad you enjoyed it Geoffrey. Best wishes mate. 😊
Great info for someone like me who doesn't know how to set up a line thanks 👍
- Any time Gary. 😊
Love the sound of the waves on the shore... night fishing is actually very tranquil. And depending on the time of the year, the sea life that comes up on the tides...
- I agree. Even sometimes when its roaring it is therapeutic 😊
That hand warmer/charger looks a great bit of kit ❄️❄️👍👍
- It really is. Its a zippo one, I have a link somewhere if you're interested PM the Fishlocker fb page. 😊
This video is so full of helpful information John, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised!! The hand warmer/power bank thing would have been handy for me yesterday as I done a couple of hours on my local estuary & at dusk my fingers felt like I had frost bite even with gloves on!! A very handy item & one I didn't even knew existed, also the ID between pouting & poor cod is helpful for someone like me because poor cod in my part of the world are non existent so I have nothing to compare them with.
I too prefer the flood not just at night time but in most situations, in my part of the world, for me at least I've found over the years that it outfishes the ebb, especially in my estuaries where the ebb is like a raging torrent.
The noise of the surf crashing on the sand is also like music to my ears, this background noise is what hooked me onto Fisho's (Billy Bantock) videos years ago when I first started watching fishing on CZcams. One last thing, when you was breathing out in the cold air it looked like you was vaping!! Great vid as usual John, can't wait for more like this!
- VAPING?!?! I would not dare!!! 🤮 haha. Aye mate the hand warmer/power banks are great. I suffer with my fingers due to my past working life and it really helps. As for the flood, absolutely as you say. Fish come in and feed with the flooding tide. The only marks here that I fish that are better on the ebb is purely because of their terrain. You walk out over ledges to fish. At high water you cannot physically fish past them. Take care mate and give my best to the family. 😊
Really enjoy your videos. I have only just got into sea fishing, now lockdown lol. You really do get across and show how to do it rather than just show "how good you are" like some others. Well done
- Thank you very much Gary. I am very glad the videos come across that way. I know lots of people who know more than I do, I’m just sharing what I love doing. There are a few more videos coming up that are aimed at the anglers just getting into sea fishing. 👍🏻🎣
The best fishing videos on you tube john keep em coming
Thank you very much mate.
Oh man, went beach fishing recently.
Threw my 'big fish rig' out and got some interesting pulls, but whatever it was didn't get on the hook proper, so annoying!
Caught a couple of mullet though, so that made my day.
- Excellent. Not every day you catch big fish!!
@@TheFishLocker
I really want to get some shovel-nose rays, but only ever gotten one here. Damned good tasting though.
Makes my day to see a new post from The Fish Locker
- Glad you’re enjoying the videos Paul.
Top Bloke and great vid yet again inspired me to buy my new Penn surfcaster and get back out there
- If you’re going for a shore reel you won’t go wrong with a Spinfisher but the 7500 I have is a bit big for most folks. A 5500 or 6000 size are better.
Great tip re the timing. I have never applied any monitoring to it. Good suggestion.
- Other people may have their own system. I find that works for me. 😊
Brilliant. Tempting out those older guys that haven't braved a beach at night for a while. Some of us are possibly more comfortable with some wild browns, early on a spring morning. That includes me too mostly, but did take my twelve year old out spearfishing in Fowey a few times when I couldn't feel my limbs for a hour later... Worth every needle stinging split second. And then some.
- Haha. I'm not a fan of the cold. I'd much rather go out in the summer in shorts and t-shirt.lol.
The way you lace the hook threw the bait is genius! Definitely going to try that technique on channel cats this summer! You won't have bait stripping. And you can leave the hook as proud as you like. I usually prebait my extra rods with cut bait. To keep the bait from drying out. Take a ziploc bag and put it around your bait and leader. Zip it shut. When l need a new baited rod. Take the ziploc bag off....Cast
- The ziplock idea is a great one. If I am fishing during the day and its sunny I often keep them in the bottom of a bucket with a towel over the top to stop them drying out. 😊
hello pal , i just wanted to say thanku , i stumbled across your videos recently and love them , i appreciate we are all going through a tough time at the moment and hope you and your family are well and all your viewers , things ain’t good but when i watch your videos until the early hours they don’t half pick me up , love the passion , the enthusiasm and everything lol , just james makes me smile , don’t ever stop , not even for a skylark behind you ! be safe x
- Thank you Steven I am glad that our videos may be helping in any way. Take care and stay safe. 😊
Great video and I'm looking forward to the next. My local beach is very shallow so moving is a must. Only thing I would say is that I keep my bait in a plastic tub especially during the day because when busy at the water I've lost it before not only to gulls but dogs too and I worry about hooks.
- I’ve had foxes snaffle some bait before. Gulls here are not so brave.
so different fishing out there... man.. beautiful.. thanks for making these
- It is my pleasure. 😊
Love the beach fishing vids. Hope to get out fishing again soon once lockdown finishes.
- If the mark is local you can still fish now.
you can pick up some good cheap heated waist coats on ebay run by power packs very light ideal for fishing or any outdoor pursuits in the cold different heat settings, when u order always go 2 sizes bigger for comfort
Thanks for the tip!
That powerbank on your pocket...you are geanius 😊thank you
- Any time. 😊
Brilliant video john, its great seeing you out on the shore 👍🥶 some excellent tips for beginners.🎣🎣
- Thank you Barry. I have a few more videos coming up that I hope should help folks out. 😊
@@TheFishLocker brilliant John, I can't wait as they say "everyday is a school day" 👍
Another very good video, looking forward to more. One extra tip for beginners is that you dont need to spend huge amounts of money on tackle, but whatever you get, its good to clean everything in freshwater afterwards and be very careful to keep sand away from reels!
- Sand and in fishing gear is not a good combo. Good tip. 😊👍🏻
Nice vid I have never been beach fishing at night might have to try it! Love the wave sound too!😄😄🐟🐟
- It can be great but at this time of year it is very cold. 🥶
Great catches, cheers for the tips for the dogfish, I’ve been attacked by the tail enough times 😂
- It doesn’t half sting when you get in the shower does it!! 🤣😫
Grief! That looks beyond cold 🥶. Bravo sir 👍🏻
- Haha. It was chilly. 😊
thanks john for fulfilling your promise to do a night beach video that you said you would do a few months back in the summer . nice one . love beach fishing up here on the east coast . mappleton was always my fav place , spurn point a close second when you could virtually drive down the road to nearly the point . ps my brother les won the 1999 diawa beach open with a cod on his very last cast on spurn road . think he got about 2 grand and some diawa gear for winning it.
- No worries David. I have a couple more shore videos in editing right now so they should be up soon. 😊
@@TheFishLocker nice one john . love watching your videos , keep em coming pal
Hi John, just been watching with my grandson, Ned, your Q and A LIVE MARCH 2021, I understand how busy you are but I asked the question '' what do you think of the PULLEY DROP DOWN RIG? ''for my grandsons point of view''. as I mentioned, I apreciate how busy you are but I would like a reply from your good self for him , you are his hero. All the best to you and your family, please take care
I don't know what you mean? You meant he pulley rig or the pulley dropper rig? I have videos on them on the fishlocker workshop channel and also videos using them on this channel. I hope that answers your question 👍🏻
It was nice to see a night time fish, love the atmospheric wave sounds, wonderful
- I have a few more videos like this coming up 😉
Great video mate I really like dark nights fishing fishes better when it's dark I always find coming in keep up the great work
- Aye mate. Had some blinder night time sessions.
@@TheFishLocker I definitely when this lockdown comes off will all be fishing again night time sessions hopefully
That is some big surf John. Wow
- I know right. Be careful. 😉🤣
Excellent DogFish Unhooking Tips There - Spot On!!!! - 👍
Glad you enjoyed it mate. 👍🏻
we have snow here and the neighbors pond is frozen over > Hope that helps you feel warmer . We have so many licenses and fees to pay it takes out all the fun ,even if you have the spare money . Years back I thought i would do a lot of fishing when i retired , Now I am retired and cant afford the expense .Head boat is 61 dollars for 4 hours and double That for 8 .
- That is a terrible shame.
What a great video about beach fishing. Maybe I’ll just have to buckle up and go fish from the shoreline now, it might get cold but I never know. The temperature here has not been stable at all, so I’ll just have to see the day. But now it’s time to look over the reels and lines😬 all the best, have a good one mate👍
- Take care brother.
Very informative and helpful; but oh so cold, even just looking! P
- I hope the video helps folks out.
Absolute masterclass on shore fishing ,safety ,un hooking correctly deep hooking will happen at times don't panic take your time.Everyone can learn from this total pleasure to watch your camera style adds that extra touch it's like I'm fishing next to you just brill.Coarse fishing has been banned here in the Midlands due to new lockdown.Take care stay safe and remember if it's too cold rush back home to Hanna lol.All the very best Happy New Year to you and yours.Tony
Forgot to ask saw a article on great whites becoming possible return visitors to your neck of the woods.
Is this true
Have any been seen by reputable anglers
Can you fish for them in UK
Why anyone would want to is beyond me I panick at thought of a huge Conger ,if I saw a proper great white 16+ footer I'd need tranquilizing lol.Have you got any horror stories on dangerous species in UK ?.Sorry it was long winded.Regards Tony
- We do not get GW sharks I the UK. I must have had to explain this a hundred times. No proof what so ever. Just a publicity stunt.
- It is my understanding that fishing has been opened back up providing it can be done in accordance with other lockdown rules?
@@TheFishLocker Yes I checked with the Angling Trust and the government did a u turn.Typical though freezing here and pond froze up.Fair weather fairy now IL wait for some of that wonderful stuff called sunshine.Take care stay safe regards.Tony
Thank you for the video John. Our weather here in Oklahoma changes so drastically from day to day it's nothing to go out one day and it's 60°f and the next day it's in the mid 30°f range. In the winter I take clothes with me when I go fishing because it could be done to 25°f when I decide to go home. Good fishing and stay safe my friend.
- That is incredible. Here we have it relatively mild in comparison.😊
Absolute spot on advice especially a base camp above or near to the high watermark
- I hope the tips help folks out.
You are a brave man to fish those temperatures John. I used to but not these days. I must be getting older as I'm none the wiser! 👍🏻
- Haha. Yeah, its definitely an age thing. 😂
Great vid mate. Really enjoyed it. Made me miss beach fishing so much feels like I haven't been for ever. Wish I lived by the sea. Tight lines bud 🎣 🎣🎣
- Get yourself amongst it as soon as you can bud.😊
@@TheFishLocker to right mate. But in the mean time your vids will keep me going 🤣😉
Nice vid as usual.I can't take the cold any more.I've had my days of fishing in the cold and wet.Nice to watch from the armchair.🐻🤗👍🐟🐠🦈
- Haha. I’m almost there myself mate. 🤣
Not my cup of tea this sort of fishing but all the same that was a very interesting and comprehensive guide on how to do it, nice one 👍
- Thank you. I am glad for your feedback. 👍🏻
Great video! Love learning from your posts.. very informative... you are brave to go out in that cold brrrrr. I am so use to Florida warmth but we do get some cold days in the 30’s during the winter months.... thanks for the posts ! Cheers!!!
- Haha. Brave or crazy!! haha 🥶
@@TheFishLocker you are not crazy , but you are living the dream of what makes you happy and that is a blessing .. I only just found d out about your little boy from an older video .. my heart sank for you all .. keep the positive attitude that you have and may God bless you all !
I was impressed with the deep hook release method you use.
I normally use a metal scissor to grab the hook and because your holding the scissor it can on occasion mess the fish up more than I'd like to especially with smaller fish.
The bucket of water was also a great tip even just to keep your hands clean.
Thanks for the tips.
Great show
- My pleasure Stevie. 😊
Another great video to start the year with
- Thank you Anthony. 😊
Thanks for letting me hang on the beach with ya. The waves sounded beautiful. God Bless and Be safe.
- I am glad you could join me Sandra. 😊
Great Tube yet again. Thanks for the info. Happy New Year to you and your family. All the best for 2021.
- Any time mate. More of this to come. 😊
Happy New year John, all the best to you and your family.
Keep making those videos
- Thank you very much mate. Take care bud. 😊
Absolutely loving the beginners tips on shore fishing. Thanks man
- My pleasure. I have another great one coming up tonight. 😊
Thanks for another great video, I have just purchased my 1st every beach casting rod and going to get into this. Your videos are very good and you explain what your doing and what's involved very clear and great info for learning , many thanks.
Thank you Nick, I hope the videos help you out and good luck. 😊👍🏻
Always been a cod and chips or plaice type of guy ,then I saw you catch bass my what a change, really nice fish , going to try others now, mackerel next i think,👍😷🥶 and one for James 🦕
- Oh yes. Bass is lovely. Gilthead bream is absolutely wonderful also. Mackerel is an oily fish so some folks don’t enjoy it.
Great vid, and tnks again for getting back to me earlier.
- No worries mate. Any time. 👍🏻
As a newbie to shore fishing I found this video excellent and really informative. Thank you John!
- Thats great to hear Calum, I have a few more videos in editing that you should hopefully really enjoy. 😊
I wish we had Mark's like yours up here on river humber John. All the best stay safe
- You’ve got the spurn?
years ago when i lived in mablethorpe , during the winter i did long lineing from the beach , on night as i waded in a wave covered my wellies , as you can imagine my feet and legs were freezing , but after about 20 minits my body heat warmed up the water , it was like having hot water bottles on my feet , every night after that i filled my wellies on purpose !
- Haha. Rather you than me, they would have frozen on this night. I'd have had blocks of ice for toes!!!
good video mate never feels like a fishing video now without a dogfish in the mix haha
- Haha. I know right!! They could be the channel mascot. lol.
Thanks John for this informative video. Have not done a lot of beach fishing but could do with suggestions on hook size and type also how to stop crabs taking bait. Thanks again
- There is no way to stop crabs taking baits Mike. You can just slow them down. I have a lot of shore fishing vids in the shore fishing playlist that cover baiting up and hook choice etc.😊
Was waiting for the enthusiastic comment about the dogfish hehe
😉
Thank you, most enjoyable
- I had hoped a few of your whiting would have made their way over for a holiday. But no such luck. 🤷🏻♂️
@@TheFishLocker I’ll send some down , swap you for a bass ?
Another ace video, learn a snippet everytime I watch. Thank you.
- Thats the plan. Best wishes David. 😊
Great videos these, just starting out sea fishing,thanks.
- I have some more videos that should really help you out then. 😊
Wonderful video John very informative
Thank you.
- It is my pleasure Darren. Take care mate.😊
Wow - fantastic video. Thank you. Thumbs up!!
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I am in North Norway, and I'm struggling getting the fish to bite during this time of year from the shore... However I do fish during the short hours of daylight. Maybe I should go for some night fishing. But -10 and strong winds doesn't make that idea to tempting X)
- I do not blame you for not wanting to go our in those temperatures. Have a look for Phil Dales CZcams channel. He fishes in Norway and has some great success. 😊
Big baits , big hooks , bluey ,whole squid on up & over rigs .
Another fantastic video! Thanks. Really liked the content. I sometimes get confused by what rig and bait to use and when. Thanks for keeping the channel updated with good videos 👍
- No problem Mark. I have a few more videos coming up to accompany this one that should hopefully help folks out. 😊
Hiya, happy new year. We’re you an instructor or teacher ? All your vids are well produced for tips and tricks and education. So many CZcamsrs spend 30 minutes without imparting any real tips but your vids especially your diving are full of worthwhile content. Been watching you for a while and you are right up there! Even old pros can pick something useful up!! Thanks
- Thank you Kevin, I know exactly the types of channels you mean. I hope that is what sets ours apart. 😊
@@TheFishLocker absolutely is, I wager the 200K subs by Easter!!!
Great vid with some great tips.keep up the great work👍👍
- Thank you Corey. 😊
great advise mucker many thanks. just bought a hand warmer on ebay.
- These Zippo ones are great. 😊
Fantastic tip on the handwarmer! Ordered one of amazon straightaway 😆
- Did you get a good price?
Nice video and thanks for teaching us about fishing. You have great type of energy John!
- I am simply sharing what I love doing. 😊
Great video and a mid-week treat for us all.
That looked so cold I had to get my hand warmer out by proxy 😆🤣.
Keep safe 🙏
- Haha. It was bloomin cold. 🥶
Thanks for yet another great video
You are so welcome, thanks for watching all the best
Great little tip, on De-Hooking 👍🏻
- Thank you. 😊
Great to see my favorite fisherman is back doing what he does best. A happy new year to you and your family my friend. 👍🍺
- Cheers Charlie. Stay safe mate. 👍🏻
Fascinating stuff I never fished the sea
Well there is no better time to start. I hope the videos help. 😊👍🏻
Well done John, thanks.
- My pleasure Michael. 😊
Another great educational video John. I appreciate your efforts. Please keep them coming & stay safe
- I shall try my best. 😊
I am someone thinking of taking up beach fishing but to be honest I'm a bit lost making a start but this video helped a lot
I am glad that it helped. Have a look at some of the other videos in the Shore fishing for Beginners Playlist. I have done another video on my rods and reels. 😊
Happy new year mate really helpful I learned lots of little tricks cheers
Thanks James. I’m glad you enjoyed it ☺️👍🏻🎣
