Shore Fishing in Cornwall - How to fish for Wrasse from the shore - Rock Fishing | The Fish Locker

- How to fish from the shore for Wrasse and other fish. Here I share with you how I target fish from the rocky shoreline. I explain the fishing methods, choosing the tide for the location, what fishing rigs and fishing baits. Wrasse for many sea anglers in the UK is the first fish you ever catch. They are a wonderful colourful fish, they live close to the rocks and shore, they fight hard and they like a wide range of baits. Share the day with me and enjoy some stunning scenery and some wonderful fish.
Here are links to some of the tackle I use in this video. I hope it helps.

I've said this before, but thanks for all this content - when life gets hard some of your videos will pop up and they instantly take me away from the stress and make me feel better, it's the closest I can get to that first breath of sea air when I'm in situations where I can't sack work off and just go play on the beach. I reckon your videos have that effect on a few lads on here, so thanks. Hope life's good to you and your family!
What a nice comment.bless u brother
Thank you very much mate. We do not need much to be happy tbh. I feel that is a big part of a happier life. I have always said that we simply share what we know and love doing in the hope that helps people out in some way. So to hear this from you really makes the effort we put in worth it. 😊👍🏻💙
That's a cracking comment, I agree with you totally.
I was going to write something similar and totally concur. Thanks John, great content as per normal 😊
100% agree , always great content always something to learn , loved the shot of the rock pipets chick's that's something you don't see everyday ! The other thing watching the vid clearing my throat nose running ...gotta love hay fever !
The wife LOVED catching a few wrasse on our recent 2-week holiday in Cornwall.
The reason we caught those stunning wrasse, why you of course, John. It was from following your advice, rigs and tactics that we had an absolute blast out at Godrevy, from the rocks.
I am very pleasure that I might help. 👍🏻🎣
Thanks John, Your wrasse fishing has added to a glorious Father's day. Happy Father's day to the Fish Locker!
Happy Father’s Day mate. 👍🏻
Your videos keep me sane mate I’m off work at the moment after being taken very ill and I’m stuck in hospital at the moment but people like yourself are literally getting me through it, I can’t thank you enough 😎👍🏻
I am glad you can find some comfort in watching the videos, take care speedy recovery 🎣
I really like those colors of the wrasse. They are nice to look at. The little birds seem protected in there. Thanks for showing us.
Stunning blue sky, stunning fish, great watch!
Glad you enjoyed joining me Chris.
I only subscribed a few weeks back and every video I've seen has been beautifully filmed, clearly narrated with a clear explanation for everything you do, educational, informative and entertaining and filled with enthusiasm!
Outstanding!
I am glad that you are enjoying what we do. 😊🎣
Love Wrasse fishing. My biggest was over 6lb off Brixham Breakwater on Limpet. The local guy next to me luckily had a drop net to land it for me. When he saw it he said "lucky Brummie". Great video John. Thank you.
Have a HAPPY FATHER'S DAY JOHN. 💋 I really enjoyed my day with you. Love your videos. Keep them coming. ❤👍❤ take care and stay safe. 🦋
Thank you Cecelia and have a lovely day. 😊
You are so much fun to watch!love the beautiful area you live in!
It is a beautiful part of the world isn’t it. 💙
The beginning was good, tracking your trip to the shore. The Wrasse are beautiful and that last was a monster. Thanks for the bait, bead, and rigging information 🙂
I hope people find the information useful. I enjoyed making the intro. Just having a play around. 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker Looks super good John. Keep it up.
I like your videos, your country is very beautiful to see and of course all th at you catch and harvest very reasonably. My favorite are with your family and friends.. Hoping for more outings and adventures with "little fish locker" James. He's very bright and loves his time with you and it's evident that you love teaching him everything you can and being a dad. You're awesome parents and have a beautiful family. It's father's day in the US wishing you a Happy Fathers Day. And many cherished memories childhood goes so fast. 💝🙏💝 .
That is really kind if yo thank you so much 😊
Good evening John 😊 smashing video,great shot of them young chick's....well spotted.Wishing you all the very best dear friend 🌱🌱🌱💕
Thank you Joyce. I hope your garden is coming along nicely. Have a lovely day and take care. 😊💙
Another breath of fresh air, thanks John.
My pleasure. 😊👍🏻
Wrasse are fantastic sport, especially for the kids, when the other fish arent biting, you can always guarantee a stunning wrasse will save the blank! Great vid John!
They are great fun and have saved many a quiet session 👍
What a session, i love wrasse fishing off the rocks, some of the best fun to be had shore fishing
So much fun arent they. 😊👍🏻
I like the new mic talking without facing the camera. Reminds me of John Wilsons go fishing they used to do that too.
I got it so I can face the rods more when on the shore so I miss less bites. 😉👍🏻🎣
Great vid John. I've always liked catching Wrasse, great colours.
Stunners aren’t they. 😊👍🏻
Beautiful scenery , sitting here listening to the water an you talking about the rasps… Took me out of 100 degree weather! Thank you for sharing!! Amazing! Beautiful fish, the difference is quite evident an their all together! 👌😎
I am glad you enjoyed joining me 😊🎣
Great video mate lovely spot to fish I love wrasse fishing they give a great fight specially a 4lb wrasse some lovely colored wrasse there 👍🎣🎣
They really pull back don’t they. 😊👍🏻
Those wrasse lips are every essex woman’s dream 😁, great video as always 👍🏻
🤣🤣🤣👄
Yes Sir finally something good to watch!
I hope you enjoy it.
i love your positive attitude, your deep fishing knowledge, and desire to teach. Your jargon, word choices are wonderful. Good Job Lad
Thanks Bob.
I am not used to catch and release, I was. In a fishing club for the last 20 years and. all our fish had to come back to the club for the weigh-in.I guess I have caught wrasse and not known what they were.
Watching you catch those crab sent me straight to a seafood restaurant..
Delish !
Snow crab & lobster dipped in drawn butter..
My fav.
Haha. 🦀
Love your videos I’ve been watching and subscribing for quite a while you’ve such a stronge Cornish accent. From the videos I detect a bit of Falmouth alnong with quite a few other nice marks , like you I’m also a forager and also a foreigner I’m so pleased you’ve got your young lad into Fishing. I’ve got all my kids in Fishing and early age. I think it’s gonna be a positive positive thing. All the very best to you and your loverly family. Kindest regards john 👍👍
Haha. I don’t have even the slightest Cornish accent. My accent is very strong North East/North Yorkshire.
shore casting is such a great way two spend an afternoon its amazing how far a 2 oz weight can be cast when you whip it out there.. me and my dad when he was alive and a few others use two have fun shore fishing... stripers run close so there a good fighting fish real boney but fun two catch there little vicious biters like the morel eel's ...what a nice day out ,, cheers
So much fun to be had with simple gear inshore. 😊👍🏻
Brilliant videos and lovely to see how the fish that are returned are so well taken care of.
My pleasure Stephen. 😊👍🏻
Happy Father’s Day! I hope you and your boy do a special trip today
Thank you. 😊
My mum's favourite fish to catch, she's a master. I remember watching her, dad and a mate ledgering for a boss Ballan in the harbour for over an hour, and eventually hauling out a 4 pounder after several ragworm feeds. They're really fierce on the rod, properly pulling it over if you're not careful. Thankfully they're also tenacious and greedy. You just took me back down memory lane. Brilliant footage as always John, thank you 😉
I am glad we could walk with you down memory lane. 😊
Nice lot of wrasse, John. Love the rock pipit brood keeping schtum.
Nice and cosy all tucked away there weren’t they. 😊
Nice video this one John. In one of my fav spots. The weather was glorious for sun worshippers but you could have done with a bit of swell. Well done catching that rod bite on film. Most I watch I feel are staged!! Good fishing matey.
It’s always difficult framing the shot solo but I occasionally get it right. 😉👍🏻
You are living the dream !!! Great setting and video I just wish I could be there
He really is.
I simply worked out what it was I wanted to do, and devoted my life and efforts to getting us there. 😊💙
Great John as always superb content thanks Jon 👌🤙
Glad you enjoyed it bud
How wonderful to have a nest full off little squeeky-wheels! Too cute 🙂
Beautiful arent they.
a Masterclass in Wrasse fishing, brilliant, thanks for sharing John
Any time Mel.
Spiders have been a right nightmare down that way recently... Brilliant video as always Jon, keep em coming 😀🎣
Johns missus has a tasty way to deal with them buggers, Dorito heatwave coating I believe...👍
They make good crab cakes. 👍🏻🦀
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest of the USA, about 60 miles due east and inland of Rockaway Beach, Oregon. When I was a girl we went to the beach - you would probably say coast - at least 4 to 8 times a year. My mother would take us to the rock pools at low tide. Sometimes we'd go clamming. We'd occasionally look for berries or other wild foods. Sometimes crabbing. Rarely we'd fish. I always wanted to learn more about fishing.
I did 5 years Active Duty in the US Navy so I had a chance to go to some really exotic places. My shipmates would go fishing. I went to the beaches with a guy who fished, and that was great fun.
Your videos, which I only discovered about 2 months ago, are fascinating. Your work in front of the camera is quite good! I especially like your underwater work, but it's all very wonderful.
But it's the editing that I think sells the show. Do you do your own editing?
I do everything myself. From start to finish. Thank you for the positive feedback. 😊💙
Loving this and it’s even better watching on my TV. Great quality video and brilliant fishing. You’re not the only one to forget the drag 🤪
Haha. It happens. 🤦🏻♂️
Lifes good! Surprised a pollock or two didn't hit the rag. That was a class day out 👍
I have had tiny pollack fishing like this before.
Fabulous, thanks John. Doing just that over at Towan Head, using a float to minimise tackle loss. Stay safe !
Floats are good but never seem to get the really big ones for me. 🤷🏻♂️
Those wrasse are stunningly beautiful and thanks for sharing how you catch them.
My pleasure. 😊👍🏻
Great session John and some fabulous specimens and wonderful colours. Thanks mate that was a cracking video and I loved the Rock Pipits and babies! All the best Gragam🎣🎣🦀
Glad you enjoyed the video mate. 👍🏻😊
Great videos very informative just got a Fish locker t-shirt and hoodie for my birthday yesterday great fit and quality 👌
Fantastic. I am glad you are happy with them. 😊👍🏻
Happy Father's day to the Fish Locker!👍👍👍
Thank you sir. 👍🏻
Superb video upload. Some great catches along the shore. You certainly signpost Cornwall as an ideal break away for a holiday and to do some much loved fishing. The huge spider crab you caught was a surprise. The waters around the coast of Cornwall appear to be booming with life. An enjoyable and entertaining video. Thank you for sharing.
It’s not hard to see why we love where we live is it. 😊🦀🎣
Great video, some cracking Wrasse, baby birds, and what a Spider Crab!
It was a right brute of a crab wasn’t it!!!
Really enjoyed the new mic setup. I thought ‘this sounds different’ and then you said about the mic. It was nice to have the wider shot and still have synced audio. Cracking wrass as well 👍🏼👍🏼 cheers Ben.
For trips like this it works well. For the boat I shall still stick to the standard setup. 😉
hello! thank you for a new upload! and have a great and happy Father's day!😊
Thank you and have a lovely day. 👍🏻😊
Happy Father's day to Mr. Fish Locker!!! I Love your videos!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. 😊👍🏻
Hi nice to see you today John and your family at the Sea Angling Classic in Portsmouth today we did exchange a thumbs up watching the prize presentation I was in the charter boat section came 18th not bad for my first time roll on next year.👍👍
You should have come and said hello. 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker I didn’t want to impose but if your there next year I will had a chat with Mark Williams nice chap tight lines great videos as always John 👍👍👍👍
@@gobbydave5578 I saw Mark there as well. He and I don’t speak as he has behaved like a petulant child in the past.
@@TheFishLocker That's a shame anglers should all get on we all love to fish and share our experiences 😀😀👍👍
Ohhh! A crab! That's great for dinner.
Thanks for posting again Uncle John. The weather is fantastic to watch the sea and clouds. I hope your allergies didn't bother you too much.
Take care and stay safe!?
Thank you. Have a lovely day. 😊👍🏻🦀
What a great trip, and some great fish to go with it. The pipit chicks were so cute too 🐥🐟🎣
They were lovely to see weren’t they. 😊💙
Nice one John. Great session on the Wrasse. Nice shot of the Rock Pippit's chicks too! Stay safe & well, Dave. 🎣🎣👍👍
Cheers Dave, all the best mate.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos, puts a smile on my face.
I am glad to hear it. 😊👍🏻
Cracking days wrasseing John....that rod was almost gone..
Got love love a bit of wrasseing mate 👌
Never lost a rod yet, but come close once or twice.
Many thanks for the latest series of videos and well done for the amazing content. Loved the visit to Spargo's. The two of you really do have some chemistry and work well together. Oh, and the dishes are mouthwatering! Hauling lobster pots looks like hard work, and we almost lean toward the TV when you open them up to see whats inside. The latest with the wrasse is amazing, and incredible fish to see. I have yet to catch one from East Devon beaches, but hopefully soon from the kayak... The whole family is now pretty much 'hooked' on your videos, that's my wife, two daughters and me! Look forward to the next one eagerly! Best wishes to you all.
I am glad to hear you are all enjoying the vids mate. Best fishing rocky if you want wrasse. 😉👍🏻
Fishing for wrasse is the only time I ever had my rod pulled in, luckily retrieved the rod and fish, another cracking good video on a wet and dark Sunday evening cheers
They’ll have it in the water in a flash won’t they. 🤣
Another great day despite not catching a dogfish! This reminds me of when I used for wrasse off of the fingers of rock on the south coast of Devon my best fish was a four and a half pounder. I have to confess that it was eaten, that's what we did in the late 1950s/early 1960s, your videos always bring back memories of those far off happy days. Looking forward to your next episode.
Glad you enjoyed the video Tony. 😊👍🏻
That was a cracking day for you I've never known so many fish pulled out shore fishing.... Thanks for sharing your knowledge and explaining so much
Thank you. 😊👍🏻
I too love catching wrass I'm sure loads of anglers over look these beautiful fish nice video !! Catch you on the next one thanks 😊
Great fun arent they. 😊👍🏻
Evening John and Happy Fathers Day! Wonderful video as always. Im off out on the North Coast this week, going to follow your advice but take all the credit if I catch any keepers! Really hope you and yours are well. Thank you for your enthusiasm. You are loved in my house!
Best of luck mate. Haha. I don’t mind at all, you take all the credit you want mate. 😉👍🏻
Once again, difference in seas. The Wrassle are very large and beautiful where you live. I am enjoying all your video's. You make them informative and very interesting to watch. The colors were so beautiful on the fish. Identical in every way except for color and perhaps patterns. Have a good day!
Great video John! Loved a bit of Wrasse fishing down in Cornwall. Used to use old spark plugs from my mates garage as rotten bottom weights. Headed up to some rock marks in Northern Spain in August will definitely be looking for some Wrasse.
Good luck. 👍🏻
loved the waves moving at speed whilst you talked us through it john, awesome footage and knowledge once again!
I was just trying out a new style of editing. 👍🏻🎣
Morning John Happy Sunday from Texas!
Thank you and good morning. 😊
Stunning scenery, excellent advice as always and stunning fish. Some of my most fun fishing has been for wrasse. Nice to see the young pipets. Keep up the excellent videos.
They are so much fun to catch aren’t they. 😊👍🏻
Took my new rod to Portugal last week (after getting into fishing thanks to this channel) managed to catch a small sea bass! Was really good practice sorting out lines and lures and stuff, really just want to say thanks for getting me into fishing, definitely started something here... 😛 can't wait to carry it back on in the UK now, closest access to sea for me is Maldon so will see what I can do here 🙂 Thanks and keep up the fantastic content!
It is absolutely my pleasure Ross. Glad you have enjoyed taking up fishing. 😊🎣💙
Awesome video & scenery & fish i enjoy rock fishing or marina wall fishing 4 drummer useing green weed ( cabbage) under float about 10 ft deep useing light gear good fighting fish & good eating. Happy catching from AUSTRALIA Nick
Cool. 👍🏻
Cracking video as always John 👍🇬🇧 looking forward to another video with Jim and cooking 🥘 all the to and your family
Thank you, should be back in the kitchen soon 👍
Your knowledge of sea life is amazing
Also, your interaction with your family gives me hope for the future
Thank you so much 😊
I like fishing onshore on the rocks you never know what you'll get. Well done on video editing and also how to bait the worms. Smart idea to bring extra weights and hooks when fishing on the rocks I know by first hands. John, look like you were getting the bigger fish casting out than fishing in close, very nice.
The bigger fish just came through on the feed as the tide got higher. None of my casts were further than 50 yards.
Another top video,well done👍👍
Cheers mate. 👍🏻
Liking the new mike. Keeps your voice centered and the background nature well, in the backgroud!
Thanks for the feedback 👍
Good morning my friend fishing 👍🎣
Good morning.
@@TheFishLocker fishing greetings 👍
Fantastic watch John, Thanks most enjoyable.
My pleasure mate, glad you enjoyed it. 😊👍🏻
Brilliant John. What a day! Well done.
Thanks Mike. 😊👍🏻
Brilliant video John, I love fishing off the rocks, just being there is enough, but if you catch a fish, that's a bonus, you could do a cook up with Jim, using them spider crabs 😎
We’ve done quite a few spider crab cook ups. 👍🏻🦀
stunning fish and how cool was that nest and chicks 👍👍
I was really happy when I found it. 😊
Happy Sundays 😊 gotta love it, new video from Jon, down mighty southwest. Hoofing....
Glad you enjoyed it Michael. 😊🎣
@@TheFishLocker watch all ya videos to learn new techniques and genuinely just hoofin videos, trying catch in plymouth is getting let's say bit ninja at mo lol.
Love the videos mate! I think the mic is a great addition, great commentary.
Thank you. 😊👍🏻
Cracking looking fish and such variety in the markings....cheers John
No 2 the same. 😉👍🏻
Awesome day
It surely was. 😊🎣
Cracking vid ,nice day out, & some good ideas for using beads jon 👍
Thank you Sean. 👍🏻
Hi John, I was in Praa Sands a fortnight ago. I tried lures until my arm nearly fell off, moving bait, static baits to no avail. Heavy seas, a ton of weed.... hey ho.
Next time!
Thx for the cracking content.
Some days are just like that. 🤷🏻♂️
Superb video. The quality of your presentation, editing, everything is fantastic. Especially enjoy your shore videos. Thank you for the entertainment and learning. 👍👏
Thank you Greg, im simply sharing what I love doing. 😊👍🏻
What a beautiful day it’s amazing how many colours the same fish come in 👍
They are incredible aren’t they??!!
Great video and some stunning wrasse. I always learn so much from your explanations regarding tactics and rig set up. Cheers John.
Thank you glad you have enjoyed the videos 👍🎣
Another great video and some stunning fish
Glad you enjoyed it Debra. 😊👍🏻
Extremely interesting & informative video John. Your commentary could not be any clearer as you explain exactly what you are doing & why. Very good for an old disabled critter to sit back & watch. Thanks for sharing, Don from South Aust.
I am glad the information transfers across well. 😊👍🏻
I love catching them on a float, it's fun watching the float pass over the rocks and kelp then suddenly disappear haha!
Great fun isn’t it!!
It's fantastic to see you targeting and catching wrasse from the rocks 😁some stunning fish
Lovely fish to catch aren’t they. 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker they really are😁I had a 33cm ballan during a little LRF session on Thursday with a 7ft 25g rod it was a cracking fight
The audio is so good with the new mic! Nice to hear your thoughts while you're doing it. Great content as always!
Thank you. 😊
Great John...
Thanks Ian. 😊👍🏻
Ace video again John, thanks for the doing them. Keep the shore trips coming, really enjoy and prefer those as that's the type of fishing I do. Many thanks and all the best!
The difficult thing is finding somewhere I can go that isn't mobbed by folks and that people don't start crying about when I make a video. 🤣🤷🏻♂️
@@TheFishLocker Your fame go beyond boundaries, you'll have dye your hair, change your name and talk like a southerner etc.,
love the pipit nest
Cute wasn’t it.
Superb scenery. Superb fishing. Simple as that really. Thx
Glad you enjoyed the video Carl. 😊👍🏻
Thanks John, great video. Unfortunately too old to clamber over rocks now days but takes me back to my younger days, great times. Delighted to see you wearing your life jacket as usual, as a water safety officer for the RNLI, I wish more rock anglers would wear one. Please keep up the good work.
I try to encourage anyone fishing like this to wear one. 👍🏻
So much fun!!
Sooo much!!
Really enjoyed this video, thanks for talking us through the rigs etc. This ground looks similar to my local area (Tarbat Ness in Scotland). I'm always afraid to go anywhere near the bottom there because it's where tackle goes to die! Loved the comparison between the two ballan wrasse!
An old boy I learned a lot from once told me “if you’re not losing tackle you aren’t where the fish are!!”
Well in mate loves a sesh on the wrasse
Love a wrasse bashing sess. 💪🏻🎣
