- A beautiful day on the boat and some exciting news. I have just agreed to work with Garmin as a Garmin Fishing Ambassador. Hopefully this will help us to enjoy better fishing and making better content for you all. I talk through my previous Livescope XR system and the new Livesope Plus kit I have fitted to the boat. We then go fishing and enjoy some amazing sport on an inshore reef with fish after fish after fish!!!

And it's all Fish Locker approved, what more could anyone want!?
Cotton candy ordered for my Saturday morning sesh in the Solent
Congrats to Garmin for having such a fine ambassador! Congrats John. Well deserved!!!
Thank you.
Good on you for taking a little sponsorship, sounders have come on so much that it would be great to have someone like you really show us around them . And before people moan, its not cheating. We have been finding fish like this for years, it's just now we mere mortals can read the screen a bit better . Still got to find them and catch them, its a huge sea out there !!
What impresses me most about that sounder is that you see that fairly detailed image on a day when the boat is rocking around quite a bit. I've seen videos of anglers in the USA using them for ice fishing and when sounder is fixed in position, the detail is astonishing. You can see the fishes' tails moving. Amazing and worrying at the same time. In the wrong hands the fish have no chance.
Freshwater clarity gives a better picture also. We have a lot of plankton in the water atm.
What makes your videos so interesting, and so watchable, is that like so many “hunters”, your love of your target, (in your case fish), your interest in their lives and their environment on a real and practical level makes you as much scientist, as a fisherman. I really love your enthusiasm, your humour and deep knowledge as well as the excitement of what you catch. The difference between you and me is that I cannot get excited with a wrasse when i want to get a BASS !!.
Haha. A fish is a fish. And I’d much rather catch a 5lb wrasse than a 5lb bass.
Loadsa different species you catch.
Nice fishing time you spent.
Thank you for video 😉🍀👍
My pleasure sir.
Thank you John, regards to the family. Glad you are getting noticed my lovely, Asda, EVERY little helps. Greetings from Cyprus. 🐟🐟🦞🦞
We are just happy sharing what we love doing. 😊👍🏻
You seem to put back most of your catch.I’d love to take some of these home to feed the family. Do you take fish home to eat ?
I'll have to make a cup of tea before I start watching!
Any biscuits on the go? Chocolate digestives. 😉👌🏻
@@TheFishLocker M&S Triple choc cookies, highly recommended!
As a former truck driver, I love Garmin-unlimited maps&traffic. Great stuff, and they can help me fish now? Love it.
Win win.
You can't beat, fishing on light tackle, brilliant John 🤓🎣
Totally agree
Even the smaller stuff is a lot of fun.
Congratulations they couldn't have chosen a better ambassador well done 👏👏👏
Thanks mate.
@@TheFishLocker Your very welcome
Telling you how to hold a fish is like telling Van Gogh how to paint. Great video and congratulations on the Garmin sponsorhip. Your videos are always entertaining and educational.
Thank you John. Take care bud. 👍🏻🎣
The Garmin guys got lucky and so did we👏
If we can work together it’s only going to mean good things. 😊👍🏻
I say it quite often, but what an amazing day in a beautiful part of the country! My cousin was down in Holywell Bay last week, sooo jealous! 😂
On a good day there is nowhere better. 😊💙
Garmin clearly did their research, knew exactly what you were interested in and used the perfect lure. They've made a very lucky catch with you. Congrats, you deserve all your success.
What a BEAUTIFUL location,great days fishing and the Wrasse my goodness they are stunning.Thankyou John all the very best have a lovely evening 🌱🌱🌱💞
Hello Joyce, thank you very much. I hope you are well, how is the garden coming along? 😊👍🏻
The allotment is coming on great ... but hard work.Almost finished planting out but my back is in need of a rest 😊
Technology is amazing, great to see ! Thanks for taking us along, much appreciated 👍
My pleasure Stuart.
Hi John I love you’re videos ❤❤
Thank you very much. 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker you make make a young lad (me) very happy 😊
Eh up John, have to thank you for all the knowledge you have imparted to me about fishing, as before you and no one else I knew absolutely squat and now I can real off species, as if I was a Cornish Fisherman, God Bless 'Em.
I’m glad you find the videos interesting and educational mate.
Totally agree the cuckoo wrasse definitely best looking fish in our waters , congratulations for earning the ambassadorship deserved , but to be fair the only thing i knew what you were talking about was the transom on the boat only because i know how strong they have to be . As usual another day at school 😊 genuinely pleased for you.
Every day is a school day mate. 😊👍🏻
You've sold out John - well done, congrats and enjoy all the gifts..... it's been a pleasure helping you get there John. Its also great to hear that Garmin don't want to change anything but instead help you, help us. A caring touch :).
The way I see it, if their support helps me to make more and better videos. It’s a win win. 😊👍🏻
Pleased that Garmin have teamed up with you. When I first saw them last year explaining the set up I said pity they don't set you up to trial this system. Some amazing fish mate and another very enjoyable nights viewing. Thanks👍
I was playing hard to get. 😉🤣
Congrats John, on your hook-up with Garmin. I'm sure you didn't need a net for that one! Keep up the great content! 😁👍
Thank you.
The dolphins would make great brand ambassadors - they looked super on the live scope chasing the sprats.
Sunshine and light lure fishing. Super!
The dolphins are such a pleasure to see.
Great video, plenty of fish, different species being caught!, your enthusiasm and motivation, and explaining the different rigs, baits etc, is second to none, the fish finder is outstanding, very interesting watch John. 🎣🍻👍. Mark.
It’s incredible what kit they have nowadays isn’t it.
Well done John, good to see a company like garmin supporting a fantastic informative channel like yours 👍
Thank you very much, I hope it works out well 👍🏻
Once again hard work and dedication have been rewrded , but the jealous little people have a dig ignore the haters and their petty jealosy ,think they are trying to make up for inadequacies in their own fishing or other parts of their lives
Thanks mate.
Was out in my kayak around at Austell bay on Saturday it was stunning . Did see alot of small fish about unfortunately didn't have the best days fishing but hey that's how it goes. We are blessed to live in such an amazing part of the world.
Sometimes there’s just too much bait fish around mate.
A classic Fish Locker video. Great to see how much progress the fish finders that we've all been using for years have moved along. Thanks for sharing👍🎣
John - when you and the family make it back across the Pond to th Old Dominion [Virginia], I'll take you canoeing on the South Fork of the Shanandoah River. The fishing and scenery are outstanding. At the end, we take a cavern tour, choice of three or more in the area and for James, we'll stop at a local ice cream shop to cool off from the sun and rest the arms. All of this within two hours of DC.
You can have a play around with it when we go fishing next bud. 👍🏻
That cuckoo wrasse is stunning. Good catch.
They are a beautiful fish aren’t they.
Congrats on the sponsorship! Weather is looking nice down there already, looking forward to a summer of your stuff!
Thank you very much mate.
Thank you for the upload John, 👍
Any time John. 😊👍🏻
Fascinating and a perfect way to demonstrate the Garmin- I really enjoyed the explanation of your lure dropping, the fish being retrieved and followed by the shoal. Great work and well done Garmin for spotting the best way to advertise its products.
Thank you very much Matt, sorry I missed this comment. Let’s hope more companies realise the value of serious CZcams creators.
Another great video John!
Cheers bud.
Wanted to point out how attentive you are to the comments, it takes a lot of work to record, edit, upload, and take care of everyday life, on top of replying to all of us. I wanted to say thank you!
Also, my wife and I wanted to wish your wife a most happy mother's day!
@@badmonkey1686 - Thank you very much. Our Mother’s Day in the U.K. is actually in March. I found out that you had different ones when I was working Houston and sent flowers to Hannah for the wrong Mother’s Day. She was sure I had done something wrong that needed apologising for. 🤣🤣
Congratulations 🎉 what nice news! Best wishes for a great relationship with Garmin.
Thanks Karen.
Just what the doctor ordered a nice dose of light tackle enjoyment Keep em coming Crack on
I love it mate. Even the sunburnt scalp was worth it. 🤣
I've been using those for a while, John. They cast very well too. Just need some big'uns! Thanks for the video, mate.
My pleasure bud.
Great session John. Really appreciate your advice. Keep em coming 👍
Any time bud.
Fantastic to watch that John it had it all keep it coming 👍
Thank you Stephen.
Congratulations John,, you deserve the opportunity,, I'm so happy for you,, and they are smart to let you keep your channel as it is ,, one of the the best channel on CZcams
Thank you Ray. I was very particular when we talked about the relationship. The channel stays as it is 👍🏻
Well done, John, looks like a nice bit of kit. It'll be good to see some larger fish showing on the screen. I've bought a whole batch of those lures and they have worked well. Best thing is that you can change hook size and the fish can't bite the bloody tails off of them like some of the plastics.
They do last better than the soft plastics don’t they. 😊👍🏻
Congrats on the sponsorship mate,keep it up!
Thank you.
Looks like a beautiful day for those facing the correct direction. Thank You, John.
Yes!!
I've got Livescope on my Bass Boat and my charter boat. It has definitely improved my clients cathes on board, and most of them love it. And my bass tournament standings have definitely improved the last two years.
A cracking day out John, congrats on linking in with Garmin - tight lines mate 😎
Thank you very much bud.
Superb stuff as always John, congratulations on the sponsorship/ambassador, its well deserved, and well done Garmin for not wanting to be messing around with the channel dictating a certain amount of adverts put all over the content, has ruined many a good channel, they have some truly amazing technology at Garmin. those mackies would have gone straight in the sweet tin smoker if id have caught them, they are wonderful food. those Dolphins were a bit special, never tire of seeing them but to get Bottlenosed is amazing, this was a great watch, really enjoyable half hour, thanks for sharing this with us all mate
Thanks mate, yeah any dolphins is cool but the big Bottlenose ones are very special.
They might be called _Cuckoo_ wrasse, but for their brilliant colors, I'll always think of them as _peacock_ wrasse. They're just too darn pretty. And as soon as I saw the dolphins sporting in your wake and playing with you, I knew you'd have a good day, no matter what you might hook; to have dolphins accompany you is an ages-old omen of good fortune for a reason~😉
Dolphins always brighten your day don’t they. 😊👍🏻
brilliant content as always...garmin picked a winner for sure...no other youtubers i've seen explain things like John does...i'm inland so rarely fish salt water except on my summer holidays and John really explains tactics, rigs, tides etc in laymans terms. i love his content.
Thank you very much, I take that as a high compliment 😊👍🏻
Wow the wrasse were stunning. Top piece of kit from Garmin well explained and thanks for the link for the metal spinner gonna get 1 for my bass fishing
My pleasure bud. 😊👍🏻
Blue sky, blue sea, a stunning blue cuckoo wrasse and lots of fish caught 🎣
What more could a man ask for 👍
You needed your hooks as sharp as your new summer haircut ✂️ John to prevent those lost fish at the start 😅
Take care mate
Jason
It wasn’t the hooks fault, it was the angler. 🤣
Awesome day on the water . I always trusted my German electronics, weather on the water or on land GPS navigation.
These are very accurate
Now that’s a quality piece of kit!! We’ll played John👍…….Garmin sales on the rise!
Haha. Thanks bud.
Lovely day for it mate, that fish finder's very handy, great detail, see you in the next one John
Cheers Mark, see you next time bud.
Thank you John always learn something new while watching an excellent well put together video.
My pleasure Jim.
Very interesting, informative and enjoyable. That's Fishlocker.👏👏
Thanks John, take care.😷
Thanks Ian, have a good one mate.
Looks like good fun, amazing what the Garmin can show, it's all a bit technical for me. Hope the good weather is here to stay
Amazing bit of kit isn’t it.
John another superb video ,your care for the fish is second to none mate superb video , look forward to some of the scans of the wrecks
Glad you enjoyed the video bud. 😊👍🏻
Great fishing right there. I agree that's it's pretty hard to beat fresh mackerel for eating.
Fresh or smoked 👌🏻
I've got to salute your great attitude. Very refreshing and inspirational.
Thank you Benny.
What a Bugga of a morning.....there is nothing like doing it tuff, Got to love your work😎👍Aus
Just love what you do, whatever it is. 😉
Excellent John, Sorry I had to pause you half way mate but.. You see the wife just made Bread & Butter pudding and Custard EVERYTHING stops for that.... 😋 😁
Oh my lord!! I would have paused it too. That is one of my favourite puddings!!
Great video, better fish 🎣 . Thanks 🙏
Glad you enjoyed the video mate. 😊👍🏻
You are simply the best, always making the best out of fishing and more. Nice one, best one there is
Thank you very much, that is very kind.
Congrats on becoming an ambassador for Garmin, the detail on the Livescope is amazing.
Those wrasse were stunning - Thanks for the upload John.
Thanks bud, my pleasure.
Well done John you thoroughly deserve to be an ambassador for a great company like garmin.. You work extremely hard and are very knowledgeable in all you do mate I wish you all the success in the future as I'm sure you will go from strength to strength. Take care mate.

You dropped a right Pollock !, missing that big one looking away from your rod . 😅😂, great video.
Congratulations John on becoming a Garmin Ambassador, a great plus for both parties. Looking forward to even more interesting videos and constructive information. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Keith. Best wishes to the family bud.
Garmin couldn’t ask for a better ambassador. Congrats John. Watching the livescope was great to see what’s there amazing. Great weather to and a few fish what more could you ask for 😊😊😊
Thank you Dave.

Congratulations John, well deserved. Hubby is a fly fisher fir salmon and iv got him watching your videos now 😂.
Good on ya Linda. 😉👍🏻🎣
I think its a marvellous idea that Garmin has made you an ambassador for their items, they are fantastic i know I have a 8416 twinned with live scope and running on %^ twin transducers absolutely fantastic bit of kit really great news well done
What the kit can do nowadays really is amazing isn’t it!!
Wow that's awesome news and love it awesome content thanks again for your time to do this video big fan
Thank you John. 😊👍🏻
That livescope is an amazing bit of kit and very impressive, the picture is absolutely spot on and a great day of fishing thanks for sharing John I enjoyed that 👍
Really interesting isn’t it.
It's mint mate, it was fascinating when you showed the fish gan for the lures never seen anything like that before and your editing was top class 👌
@@TheFishLocker p.s. was just thinking what range it has? It would be great to see some blue shark or thrasher footage on it👍
@@tracktime1196 - When the sharks show up I’ll give it a go.
I don't know about everyone else, but I'm so happy to hear you signed with someone has big as Garmin! Finally one of the good guys gets a break😀 We will look forward to seeing your son and you going forward! I hope I'm around a few more years to enjoy your channel... Wish you all the luck! Tommy D from Buffalo N.Y. and NON political!
Thank you for the show of support Tom. I am excited to see what things we can accomplish together. 👍🏻🎣
The last time I saw fish with those colours we were snorkeling off the Maldives! The kids (still 15 yrs on) rave that it was the holiday of our lives! The wrasse had those kinds of colours, but if he were being modest! LOL! I had NO idea there were fish with those colours in UK waters!
My goodness that is a bucket list location for sure!!
Absolutely awesome fishing! Many thanks 👍
My pleasure bud.
Good session, I always enjoy the mixed species videos and your diving ones especially.
Thanks Robbie, sadly the clarity now isn’t very good for diving.
Just got to love a fresh mackerel, takes me back to Brixham breakwater fishing for mackerel with my mates, out of the water and onto a disposable bbq in minutes, delicious, true catch and cook.
Thanks for another great video and congratulations on being a Garmin ambassador.
Thank you John.
Interesting seeing how these electronics work, but I can't help thinking they are taking some of the mystery and excitement out of our sport. I watch guys on Rutland water barely taking their eyes off the two or three screens in front of them whilst dropshot fishing for zander and perch. Each to their own I know, but it's not for me I'm afraid. Excellent video again keep them coming 👍
Thanks Nick, as you say it’s each to their own. If this helps me to cut 1 hour off the start of every session where I’m trying to find bait. It’s worth it for me.
What a great days fishing, well done you cant beat a bit off light lure fishing and that Garmin is the nuts 👍
I love a bit of light lure stuff. Great fun even from the smaller stuff.
@@TheFishLocker 👍
Very enjoyable watching, as always. Thanks!!!
My pleasure sir.
Great weather, great fishing, and a great bit of new kit, what's not to like, get's a thumbs up from me.
Cheers big man. 👍🏻
Beautiful fish for the English coastline!
On a good day there’s nowhere better. 😊👍🏻
Congrats John! Excellent video as always! Last time I saw a fish finder was on my dad's boat when I was a kid which was very crude. Amazing how much technology has advanced!
It’s amazing how far things have come.
That Garmin sure is a useful tool, Congratulations on the Sponsorship! Love seeing all the Pollack such a good eating fish!
Thank you very much mate.
If I would have painted a fish the colours of that cuckoo wrasse , people would have taken the P and probably say their kid could have painted better ! Congrats on the Garmin link 😉🏴👍
They would not look out of place on a tropical reef would they!!
Hell yeah, nice...Congratulations
Thanks mate.
Mackerel have always been my favourite John. That said, what a brilliant session! Congratulations on the Garmin side of things and what technology!! Roll on Summer and more wonderful videos John. Thank you once again - and I hope Hannah enjoyed dinner! My Best Wishes to all the family.
Thank you Mike. Have a good one mate. 😊👍🏻
Great video keep em coming
Thank you Michael.
Really interesting video. Some lovely fish. That Garmin is an amazing piece of kit!
Thank you very much. 😊
Hello John, nice to be able to catch up with you among all that is happening with the health of my wife. A pretty productive session for a morning run. Nothing to take home but still plenty of fish landed & returned. The Garmin set up looked pretty good to me & I suspect to you too, it certainly is very clear. Hi to Hannah as well & young James, I hope you are all well. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
Hi Don, I hope your good lady is feeling better. Take care my friend.
You will be a great ambassador for Garmin, I hope they treat you well as they get an excellent man for the job. Good luck and enjoy the open waters.
Thank you very much Hennie. 😊👍🏻
What a cracking session really enjoyed that. Very impressed with the live scope it looks amazing
It’s a brilliant piece of kit.
Brilliant video john as usual
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing and well done John
Thank you Richard.
A fish is just a bounus when those big lads show up
