Winter Beach Fishing at Night - Shore Fishing in the UK | The Fish Locker

- Shore fishing in Autumn and Winter in Cornwall can be really productive if you can manage to brave the elements. Here I took advantage of a short calm spell in the storms to blow the cobwebs off my shore fishing tackle. The rods were kept busy with a steady stream of fish on the beach. I share my fishing techniques, bait, rigs and presentation and even overcame camera problems. You have to take the rough with the smooth. Haha. I look forward to more shore fishing in the coming days/weeks.
Here are links to some of the tackle we used in this session. I hope it helps.

Hi John , lovely to see you out on the shore once again, fab video,thank you sir 👍🏼👍🏼
Superb download, everything crystal clear, from the rod tips to the baiting up. This is the kind of fishing I will be doing as my move to the South West is now back on. Plenty of tips for anglers of all skill levels. I rate this short download as one of the best I've seen on fishing from the beach. Thanks as always for posting.
Thank you very much David I am glad that the video flowed properly, I hope it is helpful to folks. Take care and good luck with the move. 😊👍🏻
Your channel and videos helped me through anxiety and depression throughout Covid, Thank you so much for the content, You're on legendary bloke.
John from Sydney, Australia !

Great to see you back on the shore again Jon! Great catches! Hope you get more shore vids up 👍
We will see what the weather goes. 👍🏻🤣
Good to see you back on the shore :)
Don’t get used to it 🤣
@@TheFishLocker I know you prefer boat fishing, but for an old school shore angler like me It's nice to see you do the occasional beach session. Don't get me wrong, I still love your boat videos.
Always love your uploads, my parents live in Watchet, Somerset, so fishing is my secret passion, now in Cyprus hoping to take it up again. Dogfish lovely, God Bless you and your family. 👍👍🎁
Great to see you out on the shore again. The video of the rod tips with explanation is really helpful, thanks!
My pleasure mate.
Always find it interesting John, Had a Heart attack Sunday night (no joke) so pretty glad I'm here to see this, proper recuperation lol Thanks ;)
Oh cr@p. I hope you’re ok mate? If you’re laid up and need a chat with someone give me a message on the Fishlocker Fb page mate. 👍🏻
Get well soon Paul
@@nigelmaidment7997 Thanks Nigel, I'm still breathing, thanks to our NHS, truly astounding people.

Happy Christmas John and family. Thanks for the years vids... and first!!
My pleasure. We are just sharing what we love doing in the hope that it helps. 😊
Thanks once again.👍 recently started skinning and preparing the odd couple of doggies when the've been thick on the ground. Not bad, battered and deep fried. Have a good Christmas.
Nice bit of action on the rods is always welcomed.The colours on that mackeral bait....stunning!!
Fresh bait is best 👌🏻🐟
You make it look so easy, I'd have more hooks in my fingers than in fish Lolz! Thanks for a fantastic Vlog.
Another great show!! I really love how well you explain things. It’s like I’m there with you.
I am glad you feel that way Jim, I hope the videos help folks out. 😊👍🏻
Nice seeing you back on beach and nice to have a good few landed.
It’s always good to get amongst the fish isn’t it. 😊👍🏻
Brilliant fisherman and well respected through the community in Cornwall. Much love!!
I don’t know about that mate. I’m still an emmet. 🤣
@@TheFishLocker 😆
Makes a change to be on the shore, thanks for the midweek bonus video. I'm pleased to see that you can still catch dogfish from the beach. Wishing you and Hanna a very happy Christmas and I hope that Santa makes a visit to James and he enjoys himself.
Haha. Mate I could catch a dogfish in a puddle. Take care and best wishes to you and yours 😊💙
always awesome.. got a few fish there.. nice session as usual
That’s it mate, no bruisers but found a few. Take care buddy and tight lines. 😊👍🏻🎄
Nice Fishing Again Marra Well Done Keep At It
Cheers Brad. 😊👍🏻
Nice to see you on a beach John you did better there than we did on the boat Wednesday all we got was pin whitting and small dogs . But that is fishing never know what you are going to catch.
Always welcome a midweek video. All the best John 👍🏻
It’s just a short one but thought it would be better than nothing. 😊👍🏻
great to see you on the shore ,,and some very fine catches to john ,, well done
Nothing massive but I was kept busy. 😊👍🏻🐟
Nice video again👏🐟👍🎄
Cheers Gary. 😊👍🏻
My weekly fishing trip....cheers
More to come on Sunday. Don't forget. 😉👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker fishing on a Sunday is frowned upon up here in the Highlands lol
@@criffermaclennan - Work on Sundays is frowned upon. Fishing is leisure. 😉
Great vid John 👌 👍
Thanks Andrew. 👍🏻
Nice one John lad. I like using a plain lead on a non snaggy area you never know where it can roll. Great video as usual 🐟👍
Me too mate. 👍🏻
Another fantastic video 👍 hope the lad that commented before me is fit and well !!
Me too.
Well that’s a change fishing of the beach and what a change from catching big fish great to be out there with you thanks till the next one take care
So long as I'm amongst the fish I don't mind if its shore or boat. 🤣 Have a great day Liz. 😊
Nice little session
nice I love fishing and swimming at night
I’m not sure about swimming at night. That’s a bit dangerous.
@@TheFishLocker na just at the beach they have some lights
Crackin' night out, been waiing for another beach session thanks for sharing John👍🎣
More to come if the weather allows. 👍🏻
Love to see you fishing from the beach again John.... busy night and lots of tips great video 👍
Glad you enjoyed joining me my friend. Best wishes to you and your family and have a lovely festive season. 😊
@@TheFishLocker you too mate you and all your family and friends
Love your videos John. I learn so much. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas. All the best, Simon
Thank you Simon, I am glad you find the videos interesting. 😊👍🏻🐟
Huzzah shore fishing brilliant 👏
Haha. Should be knocking out a few more if this weather sorts out. 💪🏻🎣
Good memories ✅👍
😊👍🏻
Another helpful and informative video John. You never fail to inspire us. Cheers mate
Amazing do you ever blank 🤣🤣. Time for a book!!! or start some fishing coarses. Be good to do an overnighter with someone like yourself checking in giving advice and help.
It would have to be a colouring book. 🤣
@@TheFishLocker 🤣🤣Why not? What a good idea.
Jame`s fishing adventures with dad... But with real fishing help in a story book?. Just a thought tight lines
Lovely little gem. Best Christmas Wishes and Compliments of the Season to you and your family. James has a wonderful dad.
Hope Santa brings his dad some microphones. 🙂
Haha. Rain/Seawater and electronics don’t mix well. 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Love the videos man
Thank you Kieren. 😊
Nice one John, great video as always.
Thank you Jared. Take care and merry Christmas. 😊
Love the shore ones John. Keep them coming. Great tips as always lad.
Cheers bud. 👍🏻
Watching this on my new phone and this was lovely to see today.
Congratulations on the new phone 😊👍🏻
Cheers mate
That’s the type of fishing I do so it was good to hear that you check your bait at 15 minute intervals, I have left mine for an hour or so thinking if I keep reeling it in I won’t catch anything 😂
You just gauge it by how quick your bait is getting eaten.
The Fish Locker 👏👏👏bravo. One day I might catch a fish and eat it. 👍
Some people don't like catching doggies or whiting, I enjoy them especially with whiting being a bait fish for cod.
I usually keep at least one whiting and cut it up for bait, the skin is amazingly tough on them so it can be used without elastic and other fish love them.
Really good to see a bit of beach casting.
Tight lines 👍
I agree about them being decent bait. 👌🏻🎣
🍀👍🍀 and enjoy
Greetings from Germany to everyone stay healthy and fit for fishing 🎣
Petri heil. 😊🎣
@@TheFishLocker petri dankt 🍀
I'm a new subscriber, and i have been through some of your older videos which have been interesting and fun to watch. I used to do alot of Sea Fishing over the years from Beaches and Rocks until my back went, i was using a 12ft beachcaster and the Abu 7000 multiplier reel, which at the time cost me £65 i have seen that reel now for over £100 blimey. A good place that i used to fish was the Menai Straits the bit inbetween Wales and Anglesey, but don't use the weights you normally use, go to the local garage and get loads of old crappy spark plugs as it's rocky water and you use up plenty of rigs, but it's good to fish. Anyway too long a comment now great video and great instructions, looking forward to the next adventure.
Stay Safe and Tight Lines,
Barry (Wirral)
Welcome to the channel Barry, prices certainly aren’t what they used to be then mate as £100 is not expensive for a good reel. I have a mate whose set up is worth nearly £1000 and he uses 2. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Great video as always!
Thanks Dave. 😊
Love the shore fishing videos John 😃🐬👍
Thanks Neil. 😊
Great video John, love all your content, keep up the great work and all the best to you and your family 👍😎
Thank you Stuart and take care mate. 😊
Nice video thanks John! Really great to see some shore fishing. I totally agree about the bucket or big Tub - I picked that tip up from Fisho a while ago, and never go fishing without a bucket. Handy for cleaning fish that you wish to take home for the table too. Mr Whiting looked like he might have provided a couple of tasty fillets for the pan! Look forward to more from the shore - stay safe & well! 👍👍
I will endeavour to do more from the shore in the coming days/weeks. But its hard to justify using a good weather day on the shore when the boat fishing has been so good. 😊
This gets me going, too. Heading to southern beaches for the holidays. Not a fishing trip but will bring my fly fishing outfit for some easy surf action for whiting, snook, redfish and hopefully pompano. Happy holidays !
Redfish on the fly!! Hell yeah!!!
Nice to see you on land, I for one can more easily relate to it. Great video John 👍🏻
When the boat fishing is so good here it’s hard to justify it. Also, some of the locals get very unpleasant when I do shore videos because they don’t want anyone knowing where the locations are. 🤷🏻♂️
Tnumbs Up John.... Del..
Cheers Del. 👍🏻👍🏻
3:11 brings back some good old memories... great video !!! thanks for bringing those memories back (I'm not that old by the way haha)
I am glad that you enjoyed joining me on the beach mate. Take care and have a lovely Christmas 🎄
Brilliant session John. Just wondered what video light you use? Really lights up the camp nicely.
Now then mate. Send me a PM and I’ll send you some pics.
U have some great fishing local to u john. Hope u appreciate it mate. I fish the Irish Sea from the NI side and I swear it's a fish desert. Too many commercial vessels cleaning it out.
That is a very sad truth mate. 🤷🏻♂️
Great video love a good shore video great stuff. I also use a 3 hook patanosta rig and a scratching rig and it's deadly always catches me fish. Has saved me many a blank..Great video as always all the best to you and your family mate tight lines 🎣🎣🎣🎣
Theyre cracking aren’t they. 👌🏻🐟
Would adore seeing you catch Hake, my favourite fish to eat, for me better than cod. Also, Chessel Beach!!!! Please Jon.
I'm fishing for flounder on Saturday morning I hope I get some.
Best of luck buddy. 😊👍🏻
Hi John, good to see you on the beach dear friend. Great way to blow the cobwebs off!!. The whiting could do with a good meal by the looks of them!! Pit the end was not a big juicy bass. Doggies galore again. Did you say you can use small doggies as a live bait? Really enjoyed this one buddy. Take care and be safe, wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Graham🎣🎣🎣🎣🐟🐟🐟🐟👍👍🎄🎄🎄🎅🎅
Aye mate, shame it wasn’t a nice silver bar instead of a dog fest. 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker haha very true mate!
Its great bar down there ;)
And they never call “time” 😬👍🏻
Haha although some nights I go home alone lmfao
Good tip on unclipping and clipping I haven't done that. I fear the clips I have are not robust enough for the pennel rigs I set up. I've caught a lot of whiting where I am and pouting too. The pouting tend to be riddled with worms. Whiting is good eating fish, but like you I've found them to be long and thin. I need to invest in a tripod as it looks like you definitely need one of them to fish off the beach.
please do more shore fishing videos, pretty please x
More shore videos John
We’ll see. 😉👍🏻
John how are you and the Family? I am caught up one videos finely. You have made some awesome videos as always. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all, say hi to James for me.
Hi Rich, how have you been my friend. It is a good while since we spoke last. We are all good, well we had our boosters a few days ago and mine laid me low. Fever and bedridden but fine now. I hope you and your family are well and we wish you all a very merry Christmas. 😊🎄
nice🐟
👍🏻
great video as always, do you have any recommendations for where to go for a first time sea fishing? i'm thinking trying my nearest pier rather than trying from a beach first.
I agree. Try your local pier but make sure the weather and sea conditions are safe.
Noticed a few locals getting some flatties, I think plaice. Any tips for rigs to catch flatties? Nice video as always mate!
Depends on the venue mate, but 2 hook clipped down rigs or loop rigs would be my choice.
great session ,doggies they never let ya down,those whiting weren't bad at all usually the little pin whiting do slaughter the baits they never seem to go back either which is a shame sometimes
You can always send them back out as bait. 😉
@@TheFishLocker true,at least get some use out of them
@Paul sirens I’m in hospital too following a heart attack last Friday. Yeah good way to spend the days if you can’t get out lol
John I was wondering if you would ever keep dogfish? I’ve been told to fry them up in batter but never tried it…
Check out our dogfish catch and cook. 👍🏻
You feeling ok mate your very white😂 great video mate keep them coming 👍🏻
Not seen the sun in a while. 🤣
Was going to fish, but don't have an ice auger anymore.
Ouch 🥶
👍👍
👍🏻👍🏻
hey John nice session although it is tings and dog fest only (with the little naughty strap). a few days ago I have had my beach session after a while in Seaford Sussex and the same species was caught but got at least a 46cm whiting. I'm telling you this as the bites really started at nightfall. Which camera light do you use for the standing camera? mine doesn't give enough light for the area which is around the tripod cam. thanks, David
Give me a PM on the Fishlocker Fb page mate.
I've never shore fished for probably 30 plus years now....! 😬
You ain't missing much mate. 😉🤣
@The Fish Locker 😮
As usual, very useful videos, love watching. I never seen you foraging for urchin’s, are they living on uk seas? Are they edible? Do you have a video about them? Seen that on other youtube channel(american) hope i didn’t ask to many questions. Love watching and thank you for sharing with us👋
You will see them in a lot of our diving videos, but they are should we say “an acquired taste” 🤣
John what’s the best choice of beach rod for beginners
Send me a PM to the Fishlocker Fb page mate and we can have a chat.
Hi John- I been told that the best fishing is with the flood tide and you don’t fish when the wind is from the East. Your thoughts?
It depends entirely on the venue.
How do you decide which type of hook to use? Size and shape. Also do your choice of rigs mean you are targeting certain species??eg.flatties, bass tope or just cover all the bases.
Good questions Grant, I do cover some of these things in my shore fishing for beginners videos. But I match the hook size to the bait, and the bait to the size of the fishes mouth I'm targeting. 😉
Alright pal, is that head lamp a ledlenser h7 core? Been looking at them, woukd you recommend them if it is??
I’ve done a review video of it on The FishLocker Worksop channel. czcams.com/video/82CXyLk9y2M/video.html
Do you fish with mono or braid on your shore rods?
Always braid.
Noticed you are wearing a life jacket but on shore, something I have understood when out on the rocks. Never seen anyone wear one when "std" beach fishing. Is it because it is at night and solo or general practice for you?
Exactly that. At night, solo. 👍🏻😉
Ah ok, makes sense thanks for answering.
What's that rod holder called?
Its an Ian Gold's Tripod. 👍🏻
Good to see you back on the beach John 🎣😎 We all complain about doggies but they have saved many a shore fishing blank 😊
Oh yes, many a blank saved by a doggy. 🤣🤣
I wish we had dogfish up north East
No you don’t.
Nice midweek bonus again JL. P.S. I don't suppose you came across a group of people listening to Cliff Richard music? 😉
I’m sorry mate I don’t get the joke?
@@TheFishLocker watch Nathan's latest. 👍
@@JW-wp1qt - I will.
There's a rumor going around that you hold the Guinness world record of catching dogfish. Can you substantiate this rumor?
LOL
I can neither confirm nor deny such a relationship with said elasmobranch. 😬
Hi i try to watch all you videos and saw one of them the other day and remember you saying you hooked in to a tuna
Me not knowing much about fishing why don't you fish for a tuna are they impossible to catch please could you tell me thank you Rob.
Good to see you on the beach again John but I can understand if I had such a nice boat I also didn't go fishing off the shore so much probably right is a question I never see your top lights at your beach session on your rods do you have a reason for that? I always use it myself in my evening or night session, because you just see the bites better.
and how is my little friend james it's a nice guy who almost always has fun in the video, but assume that because of his illness there will also be bad days very sad for such kids wish him the best of me and Corrie my wife John.
and I would also like to wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and a very nice end of this year and a good new year with hopefully less covid shit
you are well and tight lines for next year greetings Willem
That is part of the reason but also, if I fish some shore marks and make a video. Some local fishermen get upset because it shows the location. James is well but he is not old enough to come with me on late night trips like this. Best wishes to you and Corrie and have a wonderful day. 😊
