What is happening Underwater? Mixed Boat Fishing with unique Underwater View of the Seabed
Vložit

- Have you ever wondered what is happening underwater by your bait when you're fishing? I fish several different locations throughout a tide showing what is happening underwater on the seabed and the many different sea creatures that live there. Reef, harbour, pier wall and deeper water.
Don't forget to check out our sister channel @thefishlockerworkshop for helpful reviews and videos.
Here are links to some of the fishing tackle I used in the video, I hope it helps.

This was an experiment towards a new style of video that I hope people enjoy. Please let me know your thoughts. 😊👍🏻
this was so cool. the under water cam was a great idea!
@@alfieboyd690 agreed.
Yeah great idea. Always wondering what's going on down there.
I thought it was really cool when you could see your rig as well.. could try and set that up more often..
Really fascinating seeing a myriad of all kinds of life that we don't usually see.... Hope you do more of them John :-)
Possibly the best UK fishing docu-series at present. Love how you blend technology with the simple narration. You take the time to explain (the good stuff) which most TV fisherman skip over. You are certainly up there with Matt Hayes and the late John Wilson in this exact aspect.
Thank you very much for the high praise. I am simply sharing what I love doing.😊
Can't express how brilliant it is to see the 'other side' from the underwater footage
I always find it fascinating. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Hello John,
I'm thrilled that you are experimenting with underwater footage. I hope it will attract many more new subscribers, and you will find it worth the extra effort. 😁
I enjoyed the commented underwater footage. I think this is enriching the content in an addictive way. 🎣🐟🐟🐟
This was a difficult one to film but it’s all a learning experience. 😉👍🏻
Thanks for sharing John, I’m sure every single angler enjoys seeing what the seabed is like where we actually fish. 👍👍👍
I know I wonder about it all the time!!!
Have I ever wondered what's happening underwater by my bait? Only all the time. Awesome video. Nice work!
Haha. Me too!!!! 🤣
Seeing the bottom of the ocean was fantastic and added a new dimension and interest. Being able to see the fish moving around going about there business make things easier to understand about different bait rigs. Please do more of this, its so interesting. Thank you for posting.
I will do more when I can get the right conditions Steve.😊
Reflecting what a lot are saying - this really adds a missing component, to already great stuff. It would make a nice touch just to add 5 mins onto the back of most of your pure fishing installments. The extra work you will have to add, may be more than it's worth, but it may increase your regular viewer figures. No-one else on CZcams gets me back for every installment like you guys do, just brilliant! love it and am seriously glad you keep doing it. Thanks John, Hannah and James.
The underwater stuff is a real favourite of mine but requires a lot of extra and also requires certain conditions otherwise the footage is useless. So if I can I will. 👍🏻
Love it mate . Back in Germany working and miles from the sea in a crap hotel ... it’s just possible you’ve saved my life again 😂😀
Haha. I truly hope things haven't gotten that bad for you mate. But glad I could help all the same.😊
Enjoyed the footage of the seabed. Very bright, especially given one shot was taken at 60 feet. Expected it to be very dim on video at such a depth.
It has taken a long time and a lot of trial and error to learn the best tides and tidal states for different locations.😊
As an avid fisher and spearo, I love seeing the combination of the fishing and the sea bed footage, adds a really interesting dimension
I feel it give great insight doesn't it. 😊
It’s great to see the underwater footage being included on your videos John. It’s the icing on the cake.
Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
We love every video, Tuesday evening was lashing rain so we were sat watching back to back foraging videos from yourself and Craig Evans for about 4 hours, perfect! My youngest son 3yrs old kept talking to you and James like ye were on a zoom call 😆
Haha. Thats so sweet. Well I am glad that he is enjoying learning about the natural world. Take care and best wishes to you and your family. 😊
Always interesting seeing what's down under the water especially in areas we fish
Now then Troy how you getting on mate. Work coming on well with the boat rebuild? 😊
@@TheFishLocker Bit slow at the moment with weather and damaged backs but I will get there
Your face at 6:48 along with the “Yeah...” is perfect and had me laughing when I saw the *tiny* crab hanging on
More of the seabed videos please John...loved it! I’d actually love to see how the bigger fish approach different baits, how they react to maybe bumping the bait along the bottom or a little jigging but maybe that would be too difficult?
It is something I have been trying to film for around 2 years and not managed it properly yet. Too many variables. But I am not one to give up easily. 😉
So much life under water we cannot see, no scratch that you have just made it possible ,it’s absolutely teeming down there 👇👍🦀
There certainly are a lot of crabs!! haha
Yeah, the underwater camera"s doing a good job of clean viewing quality and it makes me understand the behavioural patterns with different species ....all in all top video.!!
Fascinating isn't it. 😊
Just a quick thank you for the under water footage, it fascinates me watching life on the sea bed, your efforts are very much appreciated
Thank you Luke. I am glad that you enjoyed it. 😊
Another excellent video John, and as I said before...It's just a matter of time before you have your own TV show. You have all the elements of what it takes to service and keep an eager audience satisfied: knowledge, planning, presence, presentation skills, humility...it's all there. Its not just the UK that wants this; the desire is worldwide as you are discovering. Keep up the excellent work.
Who knows what the future may hold for any of us mate. In the meantime we are simply enjoying what we do. 😊
The sea bed is so different to what you imagine it to be. It is amazing how much life is down there. No wonder our hooks get stripped so quickly.
I know right!! Those crabs were on it soo fast!!
Loved the underwater footage. Interesting to see how the bait reacts while fishing. It would be good to see more.
I have some great ideas for the summer when the clarity and conditions are better. 😊
@@TheFishLocker and we can all go out again !!!!
Thats what its all about having fun and enjoying it 👌 the under water camera is like a high tech version of anglers standing on bridges and watching fish below.
Absolutely. 😊
Love the under water camera not just for the different types of fish but the actual seabed and seaweeds. Glad you did some light fishing, so many different species (fishing isn't all about weight).
You ask if we would like any more of this type of video? Personally I don't care because whatever you do is interesting.
Thank you for the feedback mate. I'm glad that you are able to enjoy the range of content that we create. 😊
Yeah I like it! I’ll watch them. Don’t replace the coastal foraging though those are absolutely golden and #1 for me always.
We will do our best to keep the content varied with a little bit for everyone. 😊
Just loved the underwater footage. I can’t wait to go snorkelling again. Stay safe and tight lines. Mike
Me neither. 👍🏻
John the seabed footage is excellent and gives another perspective to understanding and appreciating the process of fishing
I think so to Jonathan. 😊
It is fascinating to watch what comes to view on the underwater camera, what I feel is most amazing is just how clear the images come out. KUDOS John...keep it up please!
It has taken much trial and error to learn what works best.😉
Well done John, found this vid really interesting. would like to see more, especially with the bait in view.
I'll do what I can. Trouble is you don't know what's in the camera view until you get home.
Love the under water footage, watch many hours of the carping underwater series, learnt alot how the fish fed, acted to bait.Looks like you had a fun day with a good few bends in the rod :)
Its always a good day out on the water. 😊
Absolutely fantastic video, yet again. More seabed views please. More of everything and anything. Number one channel by far.
Thank you Andrew, glad you enjoyed the video. Take care bud. 😊👍🏻
REALLY enjoyed the underwater footage, while you fished above!!! Please do more like that.
When I can I will. 😊
Just loving the underwater footage often thought would like a View of my bait more please keep safe👍👍👍👍👍😷
Thank you Ed. Take care mate.😊
Very enjoyable JL. The variety of locations and the underwater footage adds so much interest. Another plus is you catching some small fish which is more what I'm use to! If you could do a short video on exactly how you make your scratching rig it would be really useful.👍
It's just a miniature wrecking rig. 😉
Cheers JL, what pattern of size 8 hook do you use?
Loved the underwater footage and catching that Ray was very cool. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. Take care John and have a great day.
It is my pleasure Brian. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. 😊
Defo look forward to more under water clips 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎣🎣🎣👍🏻👍🏻
When the weather and conditions allow I will do some more. 😊
Really enjoyed that John, I was thinking of doing something fairly similar myself in an upcoming video but I've got to wait for some of these restrictions to be lifted though, love the underwater footage, you never normally see things like two spotted goby & dragonets unless you really scale down, very interesting indeed plus the bonus ray rounded the video off, I would be more than happy for you to diversify into this kind of video, it's interesting to see what else is on the seabed, loved it mate!
Glad you enjoyed it mate. Its taken a lot of trial and error to get this type off thing right. Clarity and tide is at the biggest factors in the actual recording. Got some cool plans for the summer. 👍🏻😉
Ur videos are amazing.they never fail to entertain.i really loved this one.brilliant 👏👏👍
Thank you very much mate. Just trying to give people something different. 😊
Really enjoyed the footage of the crabs underwater. Fascinating creatures. Good morning from Australia 🇦🇺
Good morning. We are just tucking in to go to bed 2100 as I write this. 😊
Loved the seabed parts , great to see the ray in the background.
I was over the moon when I found the ray footage. 😊
The underwater footage is great! Keep up he great work mate!
Thanks mate. I have plans for more of this in the summer. 😊
@@TheFishLocker Looking forward to it!
Love the underwater footage. Definitely do some more like this one. Even if the fishing is quiet I enjoy seeing the natural environment. I blame watching Jacques Cousteau every Sunday when I was James’ age!
Haha. Glad you enjoyed it bud. Tight lines. 😊
Nice to see the underwater live on camera!!😊👍🏻
Interesting wasn't it.😊
Worth the wait, another informative video. The sun shining through the Thornback was lovely. Underwater camera gives a whole new perspective 👍
Thank you Ken. I am glad that you enjoyed it. 😊
Enjoyed that, lovely colours on that Thornback. I love the underwater world, so much going on right under your feet. Some more footage like that would be great.
I'll do what I can mate. 😊
I LOVE the underwater stuff too John. Thanks. xxx
I do too. It's so fascinating isn't it. 😊
I'm always a great fan of an clear view underwater cam. I would like to see more underwater footage, when the water is clear enough and the conditions are good enough. Don't risk your gear though. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for the level headed evaluation. 😉
Loved the underwater cam, I could watch it for hours. Like most people I never realised that there was so much going on until I started snorkelling.
More please.
It's incredible isn't it. 😊
A great idea which worked vey well. Especially good to see a fish take the bait, then see it landed & released again, well done.
I liked that part. Such a fascinating insight to the underwater world 😊
Love the video---nearly as much as those Wrasse liked those ragworms. :D The underwater footage was also great but the best part of it was seeing your happiness in simply being out in the boat.
I do love it. 😊
Absolutely brilliant John. Please do more with this kind of footage. As always very educational. Mark.
I shall if I can. 😊
Very interesting watching your bait actually been taken on the bottom by one camera and then watching you land it on another! Great editing too!
Thank you very much 😊
Brilliant video John. Always wondered what’s going on down there so great to see. Amazed at just how clear the water was. Fingers crossed when this storm passes through we can all get ready for some fishing soon
It might take a while for the water to settle but fingers crossed. 😊
The underwater footage just completes the experience for me. You have such a fantastic collection of knowledge, I have learned so much. My 4yo son loves the coastal foraging videos and armed with what I’ve learned here we are now getting pretty good at it ourselves. No lobsters yet though!
That is fantastic to hear Andrew. Best of luck with the lobster. 😊
i can only imagine how excited that starfish was for a short time :-)
cheers john , love seeing the under water shots and oddly the not trophy fish , the tiddlers are just as entertaining
Haha. God knows what he thought was going on?! Haha
Love the underwater footage on the boat John. Was good to see that even the pro's get crabbed out trying to fish inshore at the marina too haha!
Haha. Those crabs were insane weren't they!! 🤣🦀
Really enjoyed seeing the underwater activity and what the bottom actually looks like in the different areas so thank you
My pleasure Paul. 😊
Underwater footage is excellent. Excellent viewing.
My pleasure. 😊
I always watch your video in bed before I go to sleep. The underwater video was awesome and relaxing. Thanks.
I am glad to hear you're enjoying the content Elizabeth. I love the underwater stuff. 😊
The underwater footage is really interesting, especially seeing the bait presentation.
I think so too.😊
John, yet again another awesome video. 🌟🌟🎣🎣🎣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎣🎣 thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it Craig. 😊
Great John, I really liked your new style of video, the underwater shots were fantastic, especially the one showing a fish actually going for the bait. Please do some more. Your filming is up to professional standards and the Fish Locker channel is the best of its kind on CZcams. Keep them coming.
Thank you Tony. I have been working on this type of thing for some time and have some great ideas from the coming summer. 😊
@@TheFishLocker I look forward to seeing them.
oh loving the sea bed shots, its something we never really see. Keep them coming.
I find them fascinating. 😊
I really liked the under water parts especially with the narration. Like always perfect video, thanks so much for your work and sharing. Your channel is far better than anything on the television an it’s the best thing on CZcams.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Travis, I am glad that you enjoyed the video. Best wishes mate and have a great day. 😊
Love this format bud. Please keep the underwater footage coming. Thanks as always. Hamish
I will do what I can. 😊
Great underwater pics, good to see the fish naturally especially the ray. Blasted crazy crabs however!!!! Keep em coming mate.
Haha. Those crabs were mental weren't they!! No wonder baits don't last long there!!
Yeah cracking John, I like to see what goes on in those depths. Count my vote for more please 👍
Thanks Dave. 😊👍🏻
Really enjoyed the underwater footage , easy to see how the crabs can make short work of your baits ! That will be a yes from me for more underwater footage. Oh and when you held the ray up the sun shining through it was stunning!
The crabs sure were mob handed weren't they!!! No wonder baits don't last 2 minutes in the harbour. Haha.
Great video John. I find the shots of the sea bed fascinating. More please.
I'll do what I can. 😊
What a wonderful idea, getting to see the fishes perspective is just awesome. Really loved the video.
Just trying to bring you something new. 😊
The underwater camera is so clear john excellent quality
Thanks john great video is as always
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
This is brilliant John. Loved seeing the underwater activity as well 👍🏼
I love it too mate. So fascinating isn't it. 😊
All your videos are interesting, I like the underwater shots, the way the crabs all rush to investigate something new on their patch is a revelation.
Hilarious isn't it!! They are so nosey!!
Stunning as always,John! Loved the underwater camera scenes. That day was amazing! Good for you avoiding him!
Thank you very much Candice. 😊
Good video again John, the first footage of the underwater there was amazing colour and crystal clear water it was nice to see, stay safe.
It was lovely to see wasn't it 😊
Man, I love the underwater footage! Brings a whole new dynamic to the videos!! Hopefully you get to some more over different ground types. Thanks for the videos!! Keep them coming!! ✌️👍😎
I shall do more if I can. Weather hasn't been good lately. 😉👍🏻
Just love the underwater video John, would love to see more of this type of video please. 👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣
When I can I will. 😊
great to watch the bonus underwater footage - thank you
My pleasure Mark, glad you liked it. 😉👍🏻
You have so much knowledge of the ocean. I enjoy learning from you. Thank you
Thank you Tudy. This is my passion. 😊
Thanks for the underwater sections - enjoyed watching them.
I'm glad to hear that Terry. 😊
nice to see it mixed up a bit on this one John, love seeing the seabed like that. I cannot wait for the end of march to get back out and catching!
Fingers crossed for you mate. 😉🤞🏻
I like the camera on the sea bed it gives a better look at what is happening with the other end of your line 👍
Thank you Dave. 👍🏻
Another brilliant video John ! Love the under water footage with your superb narration as always .Agree with the comment you are up there with the best!Always a nice start to the day when I wake up to a new Fish Locker Vid! More of the underwater stuff please..
Thank you Mark. I will do more when the conditions allow. 😊
Eh up John you granted my wish to see more of the bottom and it was fantastic. It amazes me how much life there is to see in run of the mill places, the harbour wall fascinated me because I always feel those areas would be fished to nothing, yet there were some lovely species and good sizes all around. Your expression at catching the Gobi just showed that it's not always about size and it's again about species....Bloody Lovely! Take care keep it up and much much more
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Nick, I shall do more when the conditions allow. 😊
Always a joy to watch whatever you're doing. Doesn't matter if your catching Fish or not. The David Attenborough of CZcams :) . I'd Love to see you back up in the North-East sometime for a video. Top Stuff again John.
When the travel restrictions are lifted we will look at heading back up.
Fascinating underwater footage, it’s amazing to watch how the different species flit around down there. Really enjoyed that one👌🏼🙂
It ties in with what I was saying about your comments in your last video doesn't it. "I wonder what is happening down there around my bait?"
@@TheFishLocker It certainly does, John. Very interesting indeed.
Absolutely brilliant mate . I watch all the Aussie fishing vlogs and yours is right up there with the best ... can’t beat a bit of British .🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks Andy, I'm glad that you think so. Our fishing might not be as exciting but I love it all the same 😊
@@TheFishLocker you make it exciting !!! Very watchable and informative.. keep it up
Wonderful video, thank you so much. Your videos are better than actually going out fishing.
Thank you very much Stuart, that is very high praise. 😊
You're right, you never know what the sea bed will deliver until you drop a camera down there. I would have laughed if a crab had tried to walk off with it! haha, the crabs point of view of a sea bed! I really enjoy seeing footage underwater. Even one just below the surface watching a fish on the hook would be fun. I wonder if somehow a camera could be on the line and see the whole fight...might be too much of a distraction for a fish to bite. Anyway, keep experimenting! I love it!
A camera on the line swings about too much in the tide and makes a really poor video. Plus as you touched on, it effects the bait presentation.
The underwater videos are cool. I think I saw Jacque Cousteau in the background. Beautiful day to be on the water. Stay well my friend. 👍🍺
Haha. Simply sharing my passion mate. I do love the underwater stuff. 😊
Really like this new style of video, with different locations mixed in with underwater footage, would love to see more of this type. Great to get the thornback ray on film, and also the little goby that was caught on camera taking your bait! Would be amazing to see some more fish taking bigger baits maybe...
I hope to do more of these videos when the conditions allow. Weathers a bit pants atm.
@@TheFishLocker One thing that would be awesome would be fishing for tope (or porgies) using a bait suspended on a float and having a camera pointing at it on another float etc, set at the same depth. Seeing a shark take a bait would be great
@@masterblob7196 not sure how you would be able to rig that up. The camera would spin in the tide.
@@TheFishLocker I was thinking that would be the probem...what I thought of was potentially some sort of device based on a wind vain, or think the rudder of an airplaine. A stick underneath the camera in the direction of filming with a fin/fixed rudder etc at the end, so the camera is always pointing downtide. I understand it would be a bit complicated :) could be some awesome footage though!
Really enjoyed todays video and many others too! Found your channel in November. I have been reading the classic River Cottage seaside foraging book back in the autumn and decided to look up some tips of youtube when I found your channel, I've been glued to every video ever since. Thanks for the great videos :) such a good feel to them, and whilst lockdown has kept me from the coast they've given me some sanity! Thank you!
I am glad that you are enjoying the videos Joshua. Best wishes and take care 😊
Just brilliant john keep it coming and I'll be happy
Take care mate. 😊
John the underwater footage is brilliant, so interesting to see! A big thumbs up from me. 👍
Thanks mate. 😊
Nice session again mate,loved the underwater footage,esp.that Thornie and how those Wrasse reacted to your bait.......just a pity you didn't get that Eel! 😀
Keep up the great work and hopefully the bad weather won't last too long. 🎣🦖🦕
You win some you lose some. 😉🤷🏻♂️
Absolutely love seeing these underwater videos ... please keep them coming 💪💪🥳
Thank you Shane. 😊
Another brill video young man, I'm watching plenty and no complaints. As a small boat fisher myself Im finding it a bit of further education, and a lot of fun..
Thank you Robert. I am glad that you re finding the videos informative. 😊
Absolutely magical, beautiful under there, briliant John
Thank you Georgina. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. 😊
I loved the underwater footage!! That ray was quite a pissy pants! Lol. Thanks for the great video!
Haha. He really was in a grump wasn't he. 🤣
Stunning footage, John. Some really interesting insight into what is happening when my rigs are on the seabed. I think anyone who watches this is going to be a better fisherman for it. Certainly explains how crabs are stripping my baits so quickly! Had no idea they could find a bait that fast! Would love to see more of this type of content. That being said, all of your content is of a very high standard & very informative. It's certainly made me catch the sea fishing bug so, thank you!
I hope others find this useful. I think its fascinating and love making it. I don't know if theres any footage on it at all until I get home and can check it. haha. 🤣
@@TheFishLocker It's incredibly useful, huge potential to illustrate the feeding habits of fish and why certain rigs are better/worse or targeting certain species. For example this video did a perfect job of showing why you're probably not going to catch a ray on a flapper rig! I assume it's plain common sense to someone of your experience but invaluable to a relative newcomer like myself. Oh god! I can't imagine the anticipation/worry of reviewing the underwater footage after a session 🤣.
