- What will we catch in our last haul of the Fishlocker Lobster pots? We love working a small number of lobster pots from our small family boat. Such a wonderful and rewarding experience that often brings delicious rewards. Hauling our lobster traps by hand makes it all the more rewarding when you catch something to eat. Join me to check our pots and talk you through the things we catch. Teaching about the marine world and how to care for it - Including conservation regulations that are in place in Cornwall UK. Recently a thief has been operating in our local area and several fishermen pots have been going missing. We searched for them but they were nowhere to be seen. Oh and a bit of bass fishing. 👍🏻

I’m so sorry John that you once again have had pots stolen and others emptied. Some people are the lowest of the low , scum bag’s. 😡🤯
they will be caught out eventualy and severely punished i hope.
It’s a small community, they will get found out sooner or later
@@TheFishLocker Get a lawyer ready and go after them if you can do so. Those lowlifes need to be in PRISON!!
@@sherlocksteve9109 - John, what resources do you have available in your area to combat the predations of the pot pirates? What are the attached penalties when the thieves are eventually aught, especially in the event that someone quietly alerts you to the location of your missing red pots?
@@mstrdiver - The Police in the U.K. are a laughable joke. More interested in policing woke snowflakes being offended by mean words.
I can't believe people steal (potentially) peoples livings. No different than a common burglar except the odds of getting caught are close to zero.
Worth sitting on the cliff with a rifle. 😉
@@TheFishLockerno one would blame you frankly
@@TheFishLockerMakes one consider attaching razor blades to the pull lines.......🤘🩸
@@TheFishLocker mind reader 🦞🦞👍
Not commented for a while so sorry you were a victim of thieving scum bags John maybe shove a few of them man -oh -war beasties in there next time then when they come in crying charge em a grand for some vinegar anyway I’m sure karma will catch em out sometime soon keep up the great work buddy
I am just glad James isn't there to get disappointed by people! That will come soon enough! Thank you for sharing with us!
I knew they had gone missing so purposefully left this to a day when James wasn’t with me.
I hate that your pots were stolen. I can't wrap my head around taking something that doesn't belong to you! Thanks for the video!
My pleasure Meg.
We are all struggling at the moment, but to go and steal someone elses pots is just disgusting in my books.
Hope you find out who did it John. If you do then do please let us know
I will do.
Some dodgy scumbag has had them pots away John. Hopefully someone may notice them turn up somewhere. There are some suspect characters down there. I hope karma catches up with them.
Here ere
Aye mate.
"What wouldn't want to eat that?" - classic. Sorry about the pot loss and the end of the season. You've given thousands of people joy and a measure of serenity with your videos, John.
Sadly theives are everywhere.
Gutted for you John. Absolute b@$t@rd$ doing that. What comes around goes around and I hope the people that took your pots get their comeuppance one day. Thanks for the upload as ever John - it’s most appreciated.
Oh man !! Sorry to hear you have " lost" your pots , lowest of the low to Nick another fisherman's gear, thanks for taking us along, great video 👍👋👋
My pleasure Stuart.
Never a dull video from you John. The underwater shots, the different species, the fishing rigs and tips, and your personality. Thank you so much. So sorry to hear of your pots being got at, Grrrrrr!
Thank you Mike. Have a good one bud.
Lost for words... My Sundays normally end with me watching live blues bands in my best mates pub, I then go home and cook a roast for myself and daughter (single parent) and I watch your films which are absolutely brilliant... To hear your pots have been cut is FUBAR.... Please don't let these idiots stop your films. I'll donate what I can next week to hopefully make sure your films carry on. Cheers mate and all the best .... Boris and Ruby
You don’t need to donate anything mate. And so long as our videos bring joy to people we will strive to continue with them.
You make this fish catching look soooo easy, such a joy seeing a master fisherman at work, thank you for sharing.
Haha. I’m glad it looks easy. 🤣
Always enjoy you and your sons adventures the cooking too. Can not say what I think of the thieves.. The under water shots were great. Man of war didn't know you got them I have seen them. Hope you get the pots back.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. We get MOW at this time of year when there has been a fair bit of southerly weather.
I discovered your channel during lockdown. I find myself watching every second of your videos when I really should be doing something else! Educational, informative, entertaining, all round great watch. Sorry to hear about your pots, hope you get them back. Keep up the great work and best of luck growing your channel, well deserved 👍
Thank you very much and it is great to hear you are still enjoying joining us.
Can't wait till next season. Looking forward to any video coming up next.
Thank you Sandra.
Will you do another foraging video some day in the nearer future? I love your content and it greatly helps me relax! Thank you so much for everything so far!
The foraging videos rely on conditions and tides coinciding. We will do what we can. 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker Thank you very much for your reply! Looking forward to any content. :)
Sorry for the loss of the pots again John. Hopefully someone will know the culprits and send you that message. I am also sorry that will be the last pot video for the year. I do enjoy them. Keep up the great work that you do.
Thanks mate. I may offer up a cash reward just to try and oust the thief.
Great video John,thanks for taking us along with you on this years lobster potting season sorry about your pots going missing and being tampered with hope you find them responsible💪💪👍🏻👍🏻
It’s a small community, they’ll get found sooner or later.
Good lad Jeff ! Helped me find my trowel once. 😂
Did he lose it for you?
Great post John, full of all sorts.
Cheers bud.
Well what can I say ? You don't just make videos,you educate too.
Such a interesting person who has a total passion for what you do. Keep up the great work. And how is your family ? Hope all keeping well... Thanks John.
I am simply sharing what we love doing. 😊🦀🦞
Sorry to hear you've had more pots nicked John. Those scallops looked good. It would be great to see Jim cooking them.
They were stunners weren’t they. 😊
Very good John and thanks for showing us the Man o' War close up - rarely do we get to see that. We know you work hard with your pots and it's therefore nothing more than downright foul play and nastiness to steal them, let alone to simply empty them.
Thanks Chris. Have a good one bud.
Awesome again John, a guy I know had his pots stolen from his shed,thanks 2 cctv at his place and good footage of the thives and the rego of the truck ,the police got the truck 2 thives & pots.Happy catching from Australia Nick
Good for them. 👍🏻
John can you put a marker of some description on your pots, maybe one different coloured rope so that when you do find them you have evidence that they are your pots? You now have thousands of people keeping an eye out for your pots. Lets go team !
They are bright red, and have unique markers on them. I aren’t going to tell people what that is. Because if the theives are watching they will know.
Absolutely infuriates me that nob head thieves feel the right to whatever they like! You work hard for what you have mate and I really hope you find out who is responsible..
Obviously it’s worse for you but I think your whole community here would agree they need to be dealt with.
🙏💙
I agree bud
John , very sorry to hear about your lobster pots but glad that you don't allow the thieves to ruin your joy of the sea . You had a good lobstering season and so happy that you shared it with us and shared your catch with friends as well as your lovely family . Be well , be safe , and prosper .
I always find the videos interesting. Bad news for the pots, hope they catch the thieves.
Thank you Colleen.
I've been early but never this early, love the vids as always John!
Glad you enjoy the videos bud.
That poor Lobster I will call him Bob.
It really sickens me that someone, so low can't put in the work.
Unfortunately,as you said, it is what it is.
It really breaks my heart seeing this.
Don't give up John.
I love watching your Pots hauling.
It's like Christmas day as a kid.
Thanks mate. Aye it’s frustrating but it happens.
Hate a thief. I have a property here in New York State, no problem with thieves(so far), but you would be amazed by how many people through their litter and rubbish on my land. I am constantly cleaning up my beautiful land from these derelicts. What is wrong with people. Hope and pray you get your red pots back. Excellent video my man.
Some people really make you despair don’t they.
Wow my father got stung by a big Portuguese man of war in Tunisia many years ago very very painful experience so i was told! I hope the lobster pot bandits are caught as its definitely done on purpose! Great video Tight lines lozzfish
Thank you. 🦞🦀
Damn those pot theives! I dont understand, are they stealing them to use them? Sell them? Destroy them? I'm glad you were able to hook into some bigger bass! I'm looking forward to seeing your cuttlefish/squid video! Thanks as always, John. Tight lines!
Cheers mate.
Spiny lobster season just started here in California. Been pretty slow so far, but the season lasts quite a while. Not the first time you've had some yob taking your gear. It's really crappy.
No mate it happens often.
Thanks for another great year of Outstanding and Entertaining videos. I hope someone in your area sees and somehow gets word to you on your Pots. Please keep us posted. All the best to you and your family. Gary Sego
Thank you Gary.
At you newer video you have disconnected the command box, it was nice to see you boat tock no damage in the reacant storm and for the second time I enjoied the mussel Video, what an easy place to harvest some wonderful and clean mussels.
Thieving little 💩 's , not good John. I'd stick a couple of dummy pots out. Seal them up with some plastic lobsters and maybe a plastic hand grenade, give em a shock. Maybe do some drone patrolling for a week, see if you can spot the buggers. Them Gurnards are funny. Used to get them of sid the fish van man, taste lovely. Your still the best matey, always looking on the bright side 👌
It’s all a waste of time Alex. Who has that kind of time on their hands?
Hi John, these days there are various small GPS tracking devices available, and they are getting cheaper and cheaper, so might be an option for next year's pots. You would then always be able to find your pots whether in a gully or in a thief's back yard. Would have to be inside a waterproof container though.
Was just thinking similar, apple air tags are good but not waterproof, but you can get waterproof cases for them. Bind one into a pot so that it's not obvious, put the pot in an area that you've had them stolen previously and wait.
@@tomhill9934 - hopefully that will work.
@@TheFishLocker hope so John, we love the lobster pot videos mate, keep up the good work mate. Hope the family is well. Tom
@@tomhill9934 - Unfortunately, because of the frequency they use and the low power at which AirTags operate means they can't be located through water - fine if they're sitting in someones shed, but not if they're actually using them.
@@anthonymcnamara4002 might be enough to actually spot where it's been taken to once they stolen them though.
Great season to watch, shame about the thieves, i have wished them the Kraken 👍🏻😂
Fitting punishment 🤣
Hope you get those pots back John...That's a nightmare for you all ...Hate thieves, lower than a snakes belly...
Great video though 👌...loved the bass on the finder ....
Hopefully you will get the pots back ,and those robbers get some karma ...
Thanks Derek.
Very sad that someone is stealing the pots and emptying others, what makes it even worse is that there is a high chance that its someone from your local fishing "community". Hope you find out who it is. Thanks for sharing this with us and for all the great work you do to promote fishing. ❤
Thank you David and yes I agree. It will be someone we know.
My thoughts exactly .
Another great, informative vid. Bad show having your pots stolen and messed with. Almost impossible to police unless you had your pots close to shore with cameras looking out. Those scallops looked fantastic.
Aye mate. That’s the only way to completely police it.
NOTHING LESS THAN JUST A SUPER 👍 GREAT CHANNEL 🎉,,, THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION AND PASSION,,, SSOOOOO SORRY ABOUT YOUR POTS,,,,, PLEASE BE SAFE AND HEALTHY 😢 ,,, WELL DONE 👍 😢😮
Sorry to hear about your pots John, I always enjoy your pot hauling videos.
I enjoy them too mate.
why don't you attach an "Air-tag" to the pots, that way you could track them down
Airtags aren't ocean proof these things spend WEEKS under water most electronics wouldn't even survive 5 minutes
As has been said.
@@TheFishLockerhow about the AirTag in a vacuum sealed bag? Then hidden in the pot
Sorry to hear your loss of lobster pots there’s certainly a few dishonest people about. Hope you get them back. Nice bass and cuttlefish. 😊
Thank you Dave.
pot pirates are indeed everywhere. Sorry they got you, it would make a very entertaining video if you could ever find them again. Never know what the future holds but rest assured it holds a great deal of Joy for you and yours. Life is just to precious and short to spend to much time worrying over the likes of them. 2024 will bring a new season, James will be a bit older and stronger. Cant wait to see what you bring us.
I agree David. Best wishes to you and your family mate 😊👍🏻
Thanks for sharing as always Mate. I enjoyed watching especially the diving footage and the care you provided the soft shell crab, a great example to us all.
It's been good to watch your season this year.
Sorry about the stolen Pots , there are some Mongrels around, don't let the Bu**ers gets to you mate, every dog has it's day.......
Don’t let them grind you down bud. 💪🏻
Idiot thieves, anyhows John many thanks for another great video, was down your neck of woods back in Sept what a lovely part of the country you live, visited Padstow and Wadebridge mainly stayed in St Issey
It’s a fine part of the world isn’t it. 😊👍🏻
Great video again john keep up the good work hopefully you managed to get your pots back . Stealing is the worst thing going when your trying to feed your family and entertain everyone. Hope they get what they deserve
Thanks Tom, best wishes bud.
There are bounders, cads and scalliwags in every walk of life. Just remember, Karma is an extremely large and vicious female dog!
My, what a beautiful day!
The cuttle fish was just freakin' adorable!
You are right mate. What goes around comes around.
Well I've got to thank you for putting this video up despite the theft of your pots so forgive me for not being my usual estatic self. Really felt it for you John yet you've plodded on for us. Do hope your red pots will be noticed some where along the way. Thankyou mate 👏👏👏
Thanks mate. I didn’t want the video to be too much of a downer. Sorry.
That’s a bloody awful thing someone stealing pots I hope someone knows who it is and you get them back. Bad end to your lobster pots for this year. Another interesting video. Can’t wait for your next one take care xx
Thank you Debbie, sadly there are people out there who don’t have the morals we do.
Do you think the pot robbers work at night? It'd be great to catch them, especially to film it. I love watching you hauling the pots, it's great when there's a lobster or two in them. Thanks so much for all the work you do to bring us these reports, you just keep on being a good husband, father and fisherman, and let the scum keep on being scum.
Their negative and immoral ways will ruin their own lives eventually. It’s the way of it.
1/2 a days travel, either side of you John. Low being dull too.
😊🎣
Really enjoyed the lobster pots session 🦞
Thanks mate
i do hope that you find out whos been nicking your pots or catch them in the act ,and then expose them on you tube so every viewer can see who it is and other fisher persons.
That still likely wouldn’t stop them.
You will no doubt be planning to catch the thieves, when you catch them you are allowed to use them for bait.
We shall see. 😉🤣
Some people are so mean and selfish. Hope you get you pots back John and justice is done! 😉
Sadly you mean scumbags in every walk of life
Always enjoy joining you John,what a low life stealing your pots and they are quite new as well.Hope you find them and the low life that stole them.All the very best to you and your family.
Thank you Stuart.
Such a shame that someone can be so heartless and steal from you John. I do hope you get your pots back😢
Thank you Caroline.
It really is disappointing to see this happening again John . I really hope they get found out , it’s quite unfair . Is there such tech about as pot tracking??
Will it be a case of catching them at it ?
Appreciate your time and effort mate 👍🏼👍🏼
The pot trackers are expensive and quite bulky. Not really freasible for 3 pots in a string.
Great about the crab growing into new shell aswell.
Interesting isn’t it
brilliant as always , hope you get your pots back
Sorry about your stolen pots.Tough way to end the season! Is there tech you can utilize to track your pots, i.e., GPS trackers?
They are expensive and not very conspicuous. So the theives either cut out the tracker or smash it.
@@TheFishLockernot even hidden inside the buoy? Maybe do a little gofundme or something for some new ones. I’m sure some viewers would be happy to chip in £5 or so, it would add up!
Not again
Unfortunately. 🤷🏻♂️
"That, what looks like a condom".. That's it lads, when Sir David hangs up his nature documentary hat, we have his replacement found and ready! 😄 Annoyed for you that people have been stealing again, John!
I couldn’t think of much else that looked just like that? 🤣🤣
Sorry for your pods. I really like Your pod hauling sessions.
Thank you sir
Totally understand about the pots. Here in Queensland Australia, we suffer the same fate with our crab pots set out for mud crabs.. Chances are about 70% of either raiding or total theft any time you set pots. Makes for very angry and expensive venture .
I am from Oz too and watch a cpl crabbers up in the Top end and they do complain about the same thing! It's a dog act and I believe karma will bite them when least expected Pete
Disgusting isn’t it
Really takes the edge of a great day of doing what we do to relax and enjoy.
aww shark and taties are great..
😊👍🏻
Luv the spinning rod bass fishin".
Good fun isn’t it.
Great video! Sorry about the frigin pot thief's.
Aye bud, not much you can do is there. 🤷🏻♂️
awesome content , a sad day but always the best content ever
Thanks John.
Thoroughly enjoyed that again with some top bonus footage. 7 Different Videos in one!
It was great to see that float just siting off that obstruction just urging it to go down..Neatly hooked Fish too and reminding me that a treble isn't the only hook to use ! Exciting stuff with the Cuttle too Thanks for the reminder for playing them slowly, Is it the same when playing squid ?
"What wouldn't want to eat that" very true about live prawns. I have seen small Bass knock Prawns before engulfing them (like the bigger ones do with Live Mackerel).
100 percent agree about the seabed fascination and what a great bit of underwater investigation work. Lovely to see the. Better Bass and then a Pollack surprise. Again the Livescope is Brilliant it seems to be the clearest i've seen. I appreciate you have lots of comments to answer but quick Question - Can you make a good guess at wether the Live-scope fish are Pollack or Bass ? Are there any clues when observing their depth in the water column or behaviour ? Great to see whats in the pots and just as we think its all over out comes the Huss. A thoroughly engaging Video mate. Look forward to the Squid/Cuttle upload.
With practice you can make an educated guess about what species they are by their behaviour. In deeper waters it’s harder to distinguish. In shallow water you can see the fin orientation. So I’m 5m water you can often tell between a bass and a mullet
yep im fully agreed with mr Alanclive ,very enjoy watching you cannot wait going first time on fishing Boat Crusader in Scarborough with few friends hope the east coast is full of nice species too
Good luck.
another amazing vid John, Tel G
Thanks bud
John that food looked amazing I reckon the rissoto with a slice of buttered toasted sour dough would of been epic.
Ur man is a master at his craft in da kitchen those crab cakes looked so good.hope all is well wats a few pots aye bro.
hope you get your pots back, great video.
Thanks mate.
You need to check your local boot fairs John and always mark your pots mate.
👍🏻🦀🦞
So sorry about the pots being stolen!!Loved the show💥💥💥
It happens sadly. 🤷🏻♂️
Enjoy your videos mate tight lines😊
Thanks John.
Suggestion. Contact as many fishing socks and marinas along the coast and give descriptions of missing lots especially the red ones
That would be good if it worked. 👍🏻🦞
Two things - first, they year has passed quickly! Second, I can't believe these people have graduated from nicking the contents of your pots to nicking the whole pot! Bastards. Keep up the great work though, love these videos.
The lobster theives are opportunistic thieves. This is a calculated theft.
You're a good man John.. one day we'll be free of the type of people who think it's okay to steal others belongings..🙏👍
I hope so John.
You cant stop, hauling them pots makes you lean!
💪🏻
Really enjoy hauling pots. Sad it had to end on a sour note with the stolen pots.
Aye, it’s a shame but there’s always next year to look forward to.
What an education. Thank you.
Brilliant video john, really interesting
Karma will get em😅 i enjoyed every video thanks for everything you do✌️👍
My pleasure Tom.
😂 put it on then John !🤣
Sorry about your pots bud it's not nice!!!!!!👍
Aye mate.
It's a good idea to catch ur own squid as their starting to get expensive, so you will save urself a few squid... 🤣😂 Good vid John. Can't say the same for my jokes... 😂😂
I see what you did there mate. 😉👍🏻
Best videos iv seen , take care
Thank you very much.
Love the videos best of luck buddy 🤙🎣🦀🦞
Thanks mate.
That must be gutting for you mate chin up fella 👍 ps your knowledge is second to none 👍
Thank you.
As always, great footage and commentary. Disappointing to hear that so many pots are stolen. I'll be looking forward to watching your next sharing. 😀
Thanks Andy.
The sea bed footage was neat.
Thank you.
Fabulous tutorial - best of lock and hove you reckon ver you stolen pots
Thank you.
Sorry to hear about your pots.seems like things go wrong, yet you always smile. You have a big heart my friend! God Bless you!!!!
There is no point getting negative about things. It doesn’t help but it does ruin your day
@@TheFishLocker - John - Does this mean you still have time, weather-wise. for some in-shore foraging forays? ;-) I love them almost as much as your educational fishing videos.
sorry for your loss, I don't know a better call to Canada
Thank you.
I think I say this every year, geo-track or geo-cache your pots. Then you can track them above water. Cached can track below to certain depths.
You find one that can withstand being submerged in 20m of water for 6-8 months of the year. And isn’t the size of a brick. Let me know.
