Shore Fishing UK - NON-STOP ACTION - My best shore fishing in years | The Fish Locker

- čas přidán 3. 09. 2022
- Fishing from the shore at a rocky mark I haven't visited in many years I use my homemade pulley dropper rigs and a mixture of baits to have the best shore fishing session ever!!! None stop action with fish coming in constantly. I explain my tactics and show how to prepare bait so you can do this too. Amazing settings, a wonderful sunset and solid hard fighting fish. How can I top that?
I also discuss the feeding habits and the biology of Smoothounds - also called Gummy Sharks.
Don't forget to check out our sister channel @thefishlockerworkshop for helpful reviews and videos.
Here is a link to the how I make my Pulley Dropper rigs - • Sea Fishing Rigs UK - ...
Here are links to some of the tackle I use in this video. I hope it helps.

Your brill....thank you for taking the time to reply. I learn sp much from your tutorials. Wish you did a day of fishing with individuals...that would be so awesome 😁
Fantastic 😊 have you done more rig tutorials?
Yes, we go fishing but it’s so, so much more, isn’t it? Soothes the mind, the body and the soul. I love just watching the sky and water doing their thing in all their moods. Magic. Wonderful video, once again, John.
If you have to explain it, they wouldn’t understand.
You can understand why doctors are recommending fishing as a treatment for PTSD.
Mis not haveingy little boat someone nicked my engin Brighton marina. Fish locker knows how to fish thats for sure and what a lovely family. ✌
@@richardfowler9901 What a bloody depressing thing to happen - I’m really sorry to hear that. At least we’ve got John and his little brood to give us a lift.
I especially love the shore fishing vids because most people don't have a boat
Everyone can have access to a boat though. There are fishing charters.
Only just seen this. What an exceptional video!!! Engaging, quality of image, sound, editing, scenery, information. Outstanding and brilliant!!! Thank you!
Love she sound of the waves against the rocks, it’s so therapeutic. I love your videos mate, no fake drama just nice relaxing videos, thank you 👍🏼
Amazing isn’t it. 😊
You are correct. Most people don't understand fishing isn't all about fishing. The best feeling in the world for me is to be deep into the back country. Listening to the water rushing down the steam and enjoying all the natural all around me. Always enjoy your videos. Tight lines.
If they don’t understand it already, they never will. 🤷🏻♂️
I was a deer hunter here in the US for years. Best part about it was nature!! Sunrises, sunsets, all the animals playing around you and don’t know you’re there! Had a huge owl out hunting land right next to me. Just sat and watched, didn’t even see me. Nature is beautiful!!!
I have a similar memory of a falcon landing right in front of me with it’s kill. Unseen in a hide it ate for minutes feet in front of me.
Things not everyone has the privilege to see. Take care.
Totally agree sometimes its more fun getting out there and enjoying it getting dinner now and then is a plus
Such a great bonus of information you give during "downtime". Good on ya John. The absolute ideal day of fishing and why we love this sport.
I love it too mate. 💙🎣
Gummy sharks!! :-D Fishing on the tide down, tide up waters and targeting a type of fish is awesome to a person fishing all their life in fresh water lakes. You made this so educational.
I am glad the video was informative. For me filming it it was a bit hectic. Haha
a fellow Aussie? I was shocked when I saw them haha my most targeted fish
@@TheFishLockerHi John, I just wanted to say that we get gummy sharks here as well in Sth. Aust and they are nice eating but only if you dispatch them, fillet and then skin them fast. Like all sharks they urinate through their skin so if you put them whole on ice and keep them for a few hours the meat will have a strong ammonia taste. One other thing, ours do have teeth but they are small and rounded so only used as crushers, much like a stingray and they do have a nice hard bite if they grab you. No lasting damage though.
Great session mate, I'm so envious, hopefully one day I will have one like it to. Getting better all the time though, thanks to you and all your advice. Tight lines mate.
This was fantastic and so exciting! And an incredible sunset to boot. I know what you mean about finding every excuse to be outside in amazing spaces. Absolutely love your channel, thank you again for sharing with us. Much love to you and your family from Texas.
Thank you Harmony, have a wonderful day and take care. 😊👍🏻
Stunning sunset, patch of rain on the horizon, tide coming in, so serene; and no, you can't explain it, it has to be lived. Thank you for sharing this video. Brilliant. Take care, be well
It is my pleasure. Have a lovely day Gigi. 😊
What a session, I've never seen so many caught. Thanks for sharing John👍🎣
That was a fantastic session John, when the hounds are feeding theres nothing like it. They fight like crazy from the second you hook them right until they go back usually with a tail splash right to the face. I bet your arms were aching after that. 😆 Thanks for the vid and tight lines mate 🎣
This really was a full on session. Nonstop from start to finish.
oh yeah they love the old tail splash to the face, definitely their way of saying f*** you 😆
@@TheFishLocker how many did you get mate, were you counting??
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INFO AND DEDICATION THAT YOU BRING TO THOUSANDS OF US. !! NOT EASY TO DO,,,,,,,,,,,, VERY WELL DONE 👍,,, STAY SAFE. !!
I hope it helps folks out. 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker Always!
Just wanted to say thankyou John....it must extremely time taking to read and answer comments really appreciated John cheers 🍻 👍
Haha. It is mate. I do my best to respond to everyone. I know that some people do not have many people to talk to so hopefully it helps. 😊👍🏻
When circle hooks were all the rage ~20 years ago I tried them and lost a few good fish so went back to J hooks. A year or so ago I bought some pre-made rigs not knowing they were circle hooks, gave them a go and now I love them. What you say is 100% correct in that they grab the corner of the mouth and rarely (if ever) gut hook. They key is not to whack the fish too hard when they bite - just a lift of the rod will do the trick! BTW I am really enjoying your videos - thank you.
I was just thinking.... I needed a fish locker fix.. thanks for sharing. Been down with the back for 2months so I haven't been able to get out and enjoy the wilds on my own.
Ouch. Hope you’re on the mend. 👍🏻
in South Africa we have three of the same species. normal smooth hound with no spots, spotted smooth hound and the black spotted smooth hound. all of them are gully sharks who love to roam the gullies and feed on crabs and stuff. we found the best bait for them to be live mullet or really fresh chokka.
I’ve never seen a black spot one. That’s interesting. 👍🏻
I do not understand a word you say about your equipment and lines etc but I cannot get enough of your vids.
I get very relaxed watching-so cheers mate👌
Haha. Well the main thing is you enjoy the videos. 😊👍🏻
I absolutely love your videos. Always look forward to them. Your videos make me, someone how doesn't fish, really want to get into it, and your videos are so informative. Thank you as always for another amazing video!
Well I hope that if you do decide to start, they help you on your way. 😊👍🏻
Great session John, I've had some great fun on the hounds this summer, didn't quite manage the double though, maybe next year. Keep up the good work 👍 🎣
This is the only session I’ve done on them this year. Had a double from the boat but only just.
You’re on a different level mate. Top tier fisherman 🎣
Nothin complicated just simple education and execution. Formidable.
I love ❤️ this channel never lets up. Quality content relentlessly. Cheers mate
Is there a better fisherman I ask?
Who taught you?
I know lots of better fishermen mate. I just share what I love doing. Simple, honest and original content. 😊👍🏻🎣
A fantastic Sunday nights viewing. Love fishing from the shore & you delivered an action packed video for us all with plenty of tips
& advice. Thanks John 👍
My pleasure Stephen. 😊👍🏻
What a blast. Thanks a million for sharing these. Can’t wait to see the next shore foraging exploration too. ❤
I've never fished for hounds being an almost 100% lure fanatic but next year I will definitely give it a go thx John for such an informative vid you never disappoint tight lines mate 🎣 👍any chance of a shore bass vid in the near future would love to see you try break your record and see how you target the bigger bass 🎣🎣
I don’t keep many bass so don’t target them specifically. 👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker all mine go back to fight another day love fishing don't eat fish 🤣
Did you ever get a solid final count? I was thinking with the remaining crabs plus the ones you mentioned catching already you might be close to 18? I must admit, not knowing anything about these fish had me straight up worried how you were handling them until you mentioned they had no teeth! Thanks for the adventure, John. Tight lines!
Around 18 yes. Crazy fishing!!
Wonderful video - the educational value alone is worth your time. Either on how to fish or the biology behind the fish. Great stuff John.
I am glad the level of information went down well. 👍🏻🎣
Great video as usual. Informative, relaxed, confident, easy watching ALL THE WAY THROUGH! Thanks for sharing & all the useful links. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It is my pleasure Dan, I am glad you enjoyed joining me. 😊
A maybe slightly interesting factoid came to me why you said that the Smooth hound has no teeth. Shark skin is covered in dermal denticles as opposed to normal fish scales. As the name would suggest these are like teeth. Its why sharks feel like sand paper.
That is an interesting factoid. 👍🏻
Isn’t a factoid something that’s untrue?
@@MCohen28 You are in fact correct.
though a quick google check suggests that it can also mean "a brief or trivial item of news or information." wich in this context would be accurate. :)
And pee thought the skin
@@richardfowler9901 all fish do that. Fresh and salt. Osmotic pressure.
Amazing John...what a session..makes up for bad days.and your so happy..what it's all about. Thanks again.
When you have a good one you easily forget the bad.
John what a great day you had.
Taking us with you is priceless on understanding the way you fish.
Keep safe and good wishes from Glasgow.
I hope people find the video helpful. 😊👍🏻🎣
Really enjoyed the video theirs a lot more to fishing then the fish ( To true) thanks john
I agree
Yet another 1st class instructional and thoroughly entertaining video.Quality camera work and detailed information about the target fish and the methods deployed.Best on the Net by miles.
Thanks Barry. 😊👍🏻
Hi from Oz, the gummies we catch down near Melbourne ar about 20lb + - 35 lb are frequently caught, delicious eating they are sold in our local fish and chips as "flake". You have to bleed them immediately to get the most. Grey Torpedo is another name , the big ones are a great fight. enjoyed watching your videos.
They are still eaten in some areas of the U.K. as flake too.
A truly amazing session John, non-stop fish & you were certainly enjoying yourself, & why not. One can't help but enjoy your videos mate, so well do you comment that we feel we are right there with you in the moment. Always a joy, thanks for sharing, Don from South Aust.
As I keep saying. I simply share what I know and love doing Don. Simple and honest. 😊👍🏻
Nothing like a relaxing 😳 fishing session. That's the session of dreams. Awesome video.
You don’t get many like that do you. 👍🏻😆
Brilliant John. 👏
Thank you.
Outstanding Vid John beautiful background got better throughout your session the sound of the waves is hypnotic and the whine from your reel as you bring in another bloody superb lad well done
I loved it. All the different aspects really made for a wondeful session. 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker well done mate bloody marvellous!
Fantastic video John. I’m 49 and have only ever fished about 6 times but find your channel so fascinating to watch. 👍 cook and catch soon I hope 🤞
Thank you Paul. I hope the videos are helpful with your fishing. 😊👍🏻
Fantastic really glad you done another smooth hound video John . That night is every fisherman's dream , none stop action.
I went after them because of our conversation mate. 😉👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker Perfect birthday present lol
I love this channel, the videos are top tier and a great way to switch off from the world.
Thank you. I am glad that the videos can provide some positive escapism. 😊👍🏻
Completely flat underside, Reminded me of Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, slightly rippled with a flat underside 🙂
What an awesome session. These results don't happen by accident, your knowledge and skill put you in the right place with the right baits at the right time, yet again! Well done and thanks for sharing it with us!
A certain amount is always luck in fishing. 😉🎣
I’ve had a rubbish day, but getting home to see fishlocker has squared us away with a new video has made my evening. Cheers John, hope you and the family are doing well 👍
Glad you enjoyed the video mate. 😉👍🏻
Great to see so many fish around.
Certainly kept you on your toes.
Was running around nonstop!!!
"give him a dig for me"! Priceless! Great fishing Mark, tight lines buddy!
What a plonker he must be. 🤣
Great session John...and well done for getting a video made of it which can be a challenge amongst a smooth hound frenzy.
It sure was hectic!!
What an absolutely fantastic fishing session John.
Those smoothhounds are beautiful looking fish especially the stary type.
I totally get what you say about people wouldn't appreciate or understand the stunning environment of the Cornish coast, whether at a rock mark, a ledge mark, wreck fishing or the beach.
It is just totally beautiful and that sunset, what a stunner.
It's sometimes not all about the fishing, it's about where you fish 🎏
Have a fantastic evening, and all my best to your family.
⚔️🍻⚔️
On a good day there is nowhere better. 😊👍🏻🦞
Well i guess im going to give the pully dropper rig a bash. I usually use up and over for simplicity but i like the snood change. I suppose i could put a swivel on with a genie clip.
I caught a couple last weekend just under the 10lb mark, there was a bit of a swell, was using a 2 hook flapper with size 2 aberdeens and a bass rod, fishing for flatties etc but these showed up.
Lost the starry right at my feet, tried to wash it up onto the rocks, swell dropped and sucked fish out, straighted my hook out and it was gone.
I had to be careful of the swell. Caught it on rag.
Cheers for the awesome vids as usual. Tight lines m8
It’s a heart breaker to lose them at your feet like that isn’t it.
@@TheFishLocker it is matey, I'm a glutton for punishment sometimes 😅
im from the Isle Of Skye and live in London. I just realized how much i miss fishing back home. You're right it can't be explained it has to b experienced.
Long way from home down there bud.
What a session! Quality video that, mate. Really enjoyed it, great Sunday viewing :)
Thank you very much Paul. 😊👍🏻
Wow what an incredible fishing video you sir are amazing fisherman !!!! Great tips and rig video fantastic!
I hope the video is helpful. 😊🎣
Sensational and so informative… We all know you love it.. God bless and good luck..
Thank you Rolf and have a lovely day. 😊🎣
Mate, I'm loving it.
Thank you 🦈😊
Yess was actually going to ask if you wer thinking about doing a shore fishing video on the video you would put out today what a surprise. will be watching this with my dinner once again John thank so soso so much !!! 🤩🤩
When I can I will. 👍🏻
Caught myself trying to watch your lines for you. That was a stunning sunset. Thanks for sharing.
Haha. I find I do it too. 🤣
I can remember eating the good old gummy shark many times. Dad and Mum beach fishing and catching them. It was a great time.
I bet. They are nice to eat. 👍🏻
Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing mate, I really enjoyed watching :)
My pleasure Robert. 👍🏻🎣
love your passion for fishing ,fishing for fun and the sport,you have such great knowledge too ,and sunset was epic love cornwall lotto win and im moving there lol its a magical place imo
Do it. On a good day there’s nowhere better. 😊💙
Don't normally comment on any youtube videos but this was really enjoyable to watch. Loads of action, beautiful location and stunning sunset. Well done mate.
Thank you Keith and have a wondeful day. 😊👍🏻
WOW what an awesome session, those days stick in the memory forever 😎
They definitely do.
You are the master John, brilliant fishing tutorial mate .
I hope it’s helpful to folks.
Between the camera and the fish the teacher was hopping today. Thanks for the great video. 🔱🦈
It was a nonstop session wasnt it.
Watching your vids just makes me desperate to go sea fishing again. So so bloody good
Haha. Get the rods out mate and get fishing!!!
What a session! Great to see another shore video too. Looks like an excellent spot to fish 🎣
The problem with shore fishing at this time of year is all the tourists.
What an amazing session John, loved watching the rod tips going over.
Those peeler crabs must be a smoothies favourite... just wash the scissors, we won't tell Hannah 😂.
Thanks for the upload John.
They absolutely go wild for peelers mate. 😉👍🏻🦀
John,I really enjoy your adventures...In the past I have requested fresh water fishing and catch and cooks..You came through on both..I will put a halt to my requests 😂 And just enjoy the show..I get it 100% Fishing for my wife and I is beautiful outdoors and a good meal to follow... Thank you sir from Ohio USA😊
It is our pleasure. Best wishes to you and your wife and take care. 😊👍🏻💙
Great video, but you were out done by the sky !! Absolutely lovely. I'll be using the later sky for inspiration for my next painting . Cheers John 👍🏴
You cannot compete with something like that can you. 💙
Enjoyed that a lot , I've been doing a lot of lure fishing for the last 2 years , but this autumn/winter going back to bait fishing . Heading over to the fishlocker workshop next 😁
Good luck mate. 👍🏻🎣
That shark looks remarkably like a gummy shark that we catch in Victoria Australia. Same spots and same crushing plate. Great eating
They are very very similar.
Your a smooth criminal 🕺
Brilliant well done 👏
Love the shore videos
Will be out soon myself .
Thanks for video
Haha.
What a beautiful evening session, love it !
Thanks Steve. 👍🏻😊
Absolutely brilliant, some cracking fish and what a backdrop at the end, thanks a lot for doing these videos John, Iove it when the notification pops up 👍👍👍👍👍👍🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
It is my pleasure. I hope the videos help folks in some way. 😊🎣
@@TheFishLocker well I've certainly learnt a lot. I fish a few times a year on a charter in Whitby, also live near the Humber and you've opened my eyes mate 👍👍
Great days fishing John, very enjoyable watch.
Thanks Paul. 😊👍🏻
just excellent man,i try to be organised like yourself,but fail mostly,coming your way with my boat to look for a tuna,i mean shark,good luck man,thanks for making sense and not being wierd like so many others
Don’t be daft enough to get caught. It just takes one to be made an example of. 😉
Got casting nailed ..like it..brilliant fishing session and always informative 👍 those circle hooks, peeler crab 🦀...dynamite combo...brilliant 👏 👏 cheers jhon loved watching this mate...
I hope the video helps folks out. 🎣👍🏻
It doesn't get any better...One of your best.
Blinder of a session. 👍🏻
Great session John. Well happy to watch that buddy.
Thank you.
Cracking session John, Had a session on the hounds like that myself last month , Such great scrappers and managed a double figure
It’s awesome when they’re on the feed isn’t it 👍🏻😆
Thats best session iv seen you have in ages. Nice. 😁
Those smooths look awfull like spurdog. The shape. Great fun when you hit a shoal.
Cheers for posting
They are very similar. Just no teeth and spines.
We never really had many smoothhounds here on the tendering coast line but the last few years we have had an excellent run of them,they really are a stand out fish without doubt a fantastic fighting fish. I've found pound for pound nothing fights better of the uk coastline.
I would say a good mullet on light gear will scrap hard but smoothies just don’t stop!!
Great technique - workshop video John!
Already there.
Fantastic day out there John. Great video. Heading to Florida this week. The mullet run has started. Multiple species to target this time of year.
Ooow. Wishing I was getting out there for that!!!
Great video what a session. And I wish I knew half the stuff you put in the videos when I was shore fishing a few years back
Every day is a school day mate. 👍🏻👍🏻
What a session!. Beautiful location and quality filming.
Doesn’t get much better does it. 😊👍🏻
Good vid with useful lessons. I haven’t missed a chance to go fishing with You, CZcams or reality. The sunset was gravy. A peeler ‘hugger’ suggested a Michelin Gummy Sandwich recipe or other in the midst of the action; surely a chef would contribute. Best wishes and Thank You, John.
I hope people find the video helpful.
Cracking session there John...they keeped you busy 😄
When there that thick on the ground hardback 🦀 is just as good a bait
Bet you had a big smile driving home ....well done ✔️ 👍
Was worth the effort that’s for sure
My favorite CZcamsr in my favorite place in the world at it again with a spectacular video! Cheers from new jersey my friend!
Glad you enjoyed the video mate. 👍🏻😊
Great video john. I do the same. Baught 2 x 30 sleeve lidsters rig wallets. One for whole rigs, one, for hooklenghs and labelled.
Save, sooo much time and more fishing tine and fish. I tie my hooklengh with quick change, swivel.
Absolutely. Work smarter. Saves loads
That was a cracking session I felt tired just watching all the action, and a epic sunset to end on as well top angling
Haha. It was nonstop wasnt it. 🤣🦈
Ragworm Sausage… hilarious! Dug those on the Clyde with my Papa as a kid. Evil looking little buggers.
All your videos are like spending a day with you fishing. That would be a day well spent! Love all your content!
I am glad you enjoyed joining me. 😊👍🏻
What an incredible session. Good for you John. ;)
Thanks Rob. 👍🏻
Looked like a great day. Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure. 👍🏻👍🏻
Wonderful video John thanks a million. Smoothies are a lovely looking fish and your set up was just so simple. See what you mean about getting yourself organised right from the off, otherwise you could lose your rod etc. all the best Graham🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🐟🐟🐟🐟
A little bit of organisation goes a long way. 😉👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker Sure does mate. Three days left here in Canada with the family then back to the UK. Stay safe and tight lines.🎣🎣
Very nice. Fished loch etive near Oban many times and it is a nursery for the closely related spurdog. They have two huge spines in front of the two dorsal fins and when they wrap around you like that, they are trying to stick you with them... Little scamps!
I have fished the Connel Bridge before. Spiney beggars. 🤣
Truth dude, you cant explain to people the setting of a fishing mark , good video, 👍
Thank you Sean. 😊
For me to see fish on the bite, that would be extremely fun. Especially the sound of a rattling reel peeling off line from the spool. Thanks for the video love the sunset on the background too.
Stunning setting wasnt it. 💙
Well done, sir. Fair winds and tight lines to ya.
Thank you sir and have a wondeful day. 😊🎣
This is called Flake in the Fish and chip shops here in Australia, the Aussies love them. I miss Cod and chips, cheers
Occasionally you do see them for sale here too.
As always a great video john keep up the good work 🐟
Will try my best. 😊👍🏻
What a fantastic session, even by your standards,John.
You’re definitely on to something with a circle hook as your pennel
Worked perfectly didnt it. 😉
