- The UK has been hit by the tail winds of Hurricane Fiona and the weather has been very gusty. I take a break in the weather to try to check our pots. What will we catch in our 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 as we 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.

Superb video John ,the reason why i love watching your fishing s that 1mm too small it goes back ,wonder how many don't , this is why i always say to fishermen on the beach to watch this channel .
It’s either big enough or it’s not. That’s the law that’s what’s right.
@@TheFishLocker Exactly my good man ,also a few more days hauling like this and you will have arms like Garth lol
@@daystatesniper01 when the hauling becomes too severe, there is always those electric helper haulers.
@@TheFishLocker "that's what she said"
Not so happy if u cook them the old way never do that again
”And the crab just sat there looking real happy with himself” Haha! I can imagine the frustration!
Those crabs usually get launched like a shotput!!!
@@TheFishLocker Surprised they don't get drop kicked after doing that!🤣
Sir: you will have a very long life. You are a total pro in every sense and your attitude is amazing.
We are simply sharing what we love doing. Thank you and have a wonderful day. 😊👍🏻
Your site just happened to pop up one day and I watched it because you were walking the shore live. That is something I love to do but only get the opportunity every 5-6 years. Since that day I have been a fan. I learned so much about fishing. With every episode, I'm more and more shocked about how much actually goes into the science of fishing. I truly thought you just bought any pole along with whatever bait you wanted to touch and threw the line in the water. ( go ahead and laugh, I never fished). I'm also impressed by what a wonderful Father you are! You give your children a wonderful gift by being an example for them in family values, ethics, and moral behavior. I hope more dads around the world take notes.
Thank you Patricia, I don't profess to be very good at anything we do ( fishing or fathering ) but I do my best and share what I know in the hope that it helps. Best wishes to you and your family and have a lovely day. 😊
Those waves are gnarly, it made me seasick just watching you.
Really? I have a fishing video in editing that you better not watch then 🤣🌊
Did well, mate. Hand hauling crab pots is no joke, and doing it 'single handed', is as tough and as dangerous, as it gets. I know this because a few years ago, my brother and myself, used to work our own Orkney Fastliner, in the River Humber and down the coast to Chapel Saint Leonards. So total respect to you mate. And 'by heck', watching your vids doesn't half bring back some memories, mate. One crazy but true story, was wen wen was 'steaming' out of the river at full speed, which was about 20 to 25 knots. Our boat was empty, with only a fish box full of crab pot bait, as we were going out to empty and rebait our pots. So here we are doing 25 knots (as you will know thats fast for a work boat), and i sh%t you not, a huge male seal, basically launched itself out of the water and belly flopped into our little Fastliner, in an attempt to steal our crab pot bait. My brother who was stearing the outbourd engine, crapped himself, and managed to climb outbourd of our outbourd engine. Leaving me to 'fight', with this huge, nasty, snarling, snotting, grunting, abserlute mauler of a seal, that was 'well up for a kick of'. Anyway, long story short, after a few blows were exchanged, the seal decided that it probably wasn't worth the hassle, and he flopped back in the the River Humber. Lol, lol. I s%#t you not that's a very true but crazy sounding thing that happened to us. Lol.
Anyway mate loving your vids. Your hard work and knowledge is second to none.
Cheers mate.
Mick.
Thanks Mick. Haha. Them seals down on Donna Nook are a menace!!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@TheFishLocker yeah you're right there mate, that one definitely was. And once again I find myself being impressed with your knowledge of a quite obscure place as Donna Nuk. Nice one mate.
Anyway I've been loving your vids, especially the ones with Haze Outdoors. It was really nice to see how you both got on so well. (I love watching Haze Outdoors vids aswell. The guy is just naturally funny, or at least thats how he comes across on his vids. He's had me crying with laughter many times. ) So yeah another collaboration wud always go down well. Am i being cheeky to ask if you both have anything planned ?
Eitherway i love your vids with or with out Mr Haze. (Infact i don't mind if you was to tell him that i preferred your vids without him, lol. Just for the 'wind up', lol.) Okeedoke nice one mate thanks for the reply, and i'm looking forward to your next vid.
Cheers.
Mick.
Dude, you're a beast doing that by hand. Most people who watch this probably don't understand how badly swells and waves translate on camera compared to how that feels in real life.
Take care brother
Haha. The camera has stabilisation as well so they don't look half of what they were. 😉
You make that look so easy, pulling those pots
Haha. It might look easy. 🤣
Good lord, Im getting seasick just watching that boat bounce around on the water. I can only imagine how it actually feels. I'd be struggling to keep my lunch in my stomach, let alone try and pull up crab traps by hand. You're an absolute unit.
If it was easy, everyone would do it. 🤣🦞
ahahahah when you said : The crab looks very happy with himself. ooooh I laughed so much
Haha. It wasn’t funny when it happened. 😫🦞🦀
I love these vids, brings back so many childhood memories of rock pooling, crabbing etc, cheers for all the effort you put in
Glad you enjoy them Adam. Sounds like happy memories mate. 👍🏻😊🦞🦀
The 3rd pot has the same feeling as winning on the lotto. Stay safe Regards Spider
Haha. 🦀🦞
Great videa mate. I was out of breath watching you struggle with them last, few, pots but willing you on 😂. You earned your beers today enjoy 🍺👍
If it was easy, everyone would do it.
Thanks again fish locker fam! Keep it up.
19:31 Don't forget to look in the nooks
Haha. 🦞🦀
I’ve been using your videos to help me fall asleep. I have horrible anxiety disorders that make it nearly impossible to do so unaided.
I also gave up my little precious pet rat today, and took it harder than I expected to. These videos? These help. They’re relaxing, calm, quiet, and the ocean just stays in the background. It’s like sitting in a little slice of heaven. Like a fishing Bob Ross
I don’t know if you will take comfort in this, but many people have said that to me. So you are not alone. I am glad that we can bring you some peace. 😊🦞
Heyo. I used to have pet rats and the only pet that came close was getting a free roaming rabbit. This was before doubling them up was common practice or knowledge. I have two cats as of now, and I love them to bits. But even these can't match the sheer attitude, sass and cuddlyness of that rabbit. It might be something to look into if you feel like rats are amazing, yet hate their 2year lifespan
Love your videos, been watching a long time, since before thr Pandemic. I like how your channel has grown and how you teach conservation as well as fishing. God bless you and your family. Take care!!!
Thank you Ruth, we are simply sharing what we know and love doing. Simple and honest. Have a lovely day and take care. 😊🦞🦀
Well done john you've got a nice tea there
My new favorite!
😊👍🏻🦞🦀
Dear fish locker man - nice to meet you this afternoon, I’m a big follower of your clips and thank you for the two mackerel, they are good samples I’ve filleted them ready for supper Friday. So regards and thank you - John W
It is my pleasure John I hope you enjoy them both. 😊👍🏻
You've got a nack for makin it feel like you're just having a casual chat with us here on the other side of the screen, and it's wonderful to listen to in the background while I'm working on chores, makes the work just fly by
the downside of that though is the beep right at 16:34 happened The Exact Same Moment I was wiping down our coffee maker and gave me a heart attack thinking I'd broke it until I realized it was the vid 😂😅
Haha. That is funny, I’m sorry about making you jump. 🤣🤣
I see you replaced that lost pot. At least I think I spotted a new one. Thank you for taking me along with you.
It is our pleasure. 😊👍🏻
Yes John,better workout then the Gym,better scenery too!Stay safe mate and thank you always so much fun👍.
Definitely
Thanks for share the video good man
My pleasure. 🦞😊👍🏻
I always learn something unique and very interesting. Most impressive is your high moral standards by which you work your craft! God bless!
Thank you. 👍🏻😊🦞🦀
That water is beautiful, wish I was there
On a good day there is nowhere better 😊🦀🦞
.... :-) Them red pots sure seem to go in easier than they come out, John!!
Haha. That’s for sure.
Found yah! Your videos are very satisfying. Good thing I found your yt channel💖💖
Thank you and welcome.
Winch time John…lol😂
🤣🤣🤣
Just watching you hauling the pots made me knackered, glad you got the rewards for it.
Thanks for the upload John.
- Someone slept well after hauling those pots in that sloppy swell. Hope you and Hannah really enjoyed your seafood dinners.
If it was easy, everyone would do it.
Born and raised in coastal Maine and your videos really take me back haha, been a long time since I hand pulled a lobster trap.
Haha. It gets the blood pumping that’s for sure!!
Great wee videos to watch 😊
Glad you think so Sharon.
The squeaking of your pots when you slide and move them sounds like the giant otters that live in the Amazon River. lol
I had never made that connection, but now you say it. 🤣
I can hear those lobsters!
Cool aren’t they. 🦞
Yes! Flipping their tails..:0)
Strong north winds is a slight understatement, sir! Another enjoyable video, ta
It’s been howling today!!!
It's been howling on the isle of man recently too.
Good video John. Was knackered just watching you.
Haha.
loved it!.....thank you!
It is our pleasure 😊
Did you ever have the saying as a kid, 'First, the worst. Second, the same. Last, the best of all the game'? Well, that was your last string of pots haha! Glad to see all that hard work rewarded! Take care, John. Thank you again for taking us with you! 🎣🎣
Haha. No I’ve not heard that.
First the worst, second the best, third with the one with the hairy chest 😂 that’s what we grew up singing!
Thanks for another great video!🦀🦞
My pleasure Stu.
that looked tough john...you wont need the gym with that workout ..lol.. great stuff mate cheers from sunny lancs
Aye mate, but if it was easy everyone would do it. 😊
Water looks nice! So clear.
Stunning isn’t it.
You have to protect your float bouy colors from the public. I enjoy your videos. thanks for making our day on youtube.
Yep. Not only do I not show them but I change them every few trips.
Another fantastic video ! Thank you. Hugs to you and your family
Thank you Cindy and best wishes to your family. 😊🦞💙
No stolen pots! Nice video again. Will we see Jim cooking some lobster and crab?……. Thank you John!!! 👍🦞🦀
That’s very bad luck. I said in the last video not to say that.
Superb viewing mate. Your knowledge is interesting
Thank you Keith. 🦀👍🏻
it's like fishing in an overseas outer island!
Wonderful area for marine life.
No stolen pots this time John thank you for taking us along take care stay safe 👍👍👍
Kieth. Did you not hear me clearly say in the last video that talking about it is bad luck and you will jinx it!?!
Awesome videography and insightful learning experience. Wishing you , safe journeys and adventures.
Thank you very much. 😊
Thank you for all of your informative work
It is my pleasure. 😊👍🏻
Where can I get Fishlocker Merchandise?
hi , great to watch , thank you
Any time. 😊👍🏻🦀🦞
Thank you for the great videos. You always teach us something.
I am simply sharing what I love doing. 😊🦞🦀
Brilliant
😉🦀
It must have been a bluster of a day; the clouds are stunning! Thanks for sharing Uncle John Fishlocker.
It is my pleasure. 👍🏻😊
Must be nice to go home and tell the missus you got crabs and she not slap you. Your knowledge and experience makes me very jealous of the lifestyle you have, crabs and lobsters are a favourite of mine but I never get them "fresh". Great video thank you.
Haha. Yes fresh is best.
Smashing John, thank you, regards to Hannah, James & the shy one, greetings from Cyprus. 🐟🐟🐟🐟
Thank you Jacqui and have a lovely day. 😊👍🏻
You are a very honest man.. and a kind soul
Simple, honest and original content. That’s what we do. 😊👍🏻🦞
That REALLY did look like hard work, John.
Glad the last pot came through and made it all worth it!
We got the house in Redruth, plus the new job, so it's goodbye landlocked Warwickshire, hello glorious Cornwall!!! Moving down in the next few weeks.
Mate that is fantastic news well done. You’ll have to let me know when you’re all settled and up and running. 👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker Thanks, John, means a lot mate. Literally cannot wait. 🤩 🥳
Brilliant pal 👍
Thanks Ben. 😊👍🏻
Looked like the pots gave you a hell of a time! Thanks for the video!!!
A good workout.
Thanks John...
My pleasure.
As usual, an excellent vid. I'm so glad that the last pot made it all worthwhile. Keep up the brilliant work!!👍👍👍
Came good in the end mate. 😉🦞🦞
Love the FishLocker and the video always
Thank you Dawn. 😊
"Tiger spots" lol. A Rockling with tiger spots, well I never. Keep up the good work John.👍👍
Yep. They’re a lot like Leopard stripes. 🤣😉
Gotta love a bit of fish locker!
Oh yes. 👍🏻😊
That was hard work watching you haul them pots John, I almost felt sorry for you as I ate my muscles and egg noodles, swilled down with a bottle of Tribute ale !! 😉, .
Once again there were some stunning cloud formations behind you,
Thanks John 👍🏴
Don’t you worry your precious little head about it. I’ll do all the work. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm off foraging either today or tomorrow for some muscle, how do u recommend cooking em??
You eat like a lord .lordy lordy. Love the vids . Had skate for the first time not that impressed Dover being my favourite pece out
I wasn’t too impressed with skate when I tried it. I prefer Pollack, Cod or Haddock.👍🏻
Great video John you are a blessed man, what an office 👍👌
Doesn’t get much better 🤣😊👍🏻
Good catch.
Thanks. 😊👍🏻
Another good day John enjoy them best wishes to all look forward to next video take care.
Thanks mate. 👍🏻

Fresh and cooked simple. Delicious. 👌🏻🦞🦀
Well done John.
Cheers John.
Great video again John, nice to see you didn't have thieves again. I know you said about not wanting a winch but I you could have done with one this time.
It’s bad luck to talk about theives. You’ll jinx it.
Great catch in this trip out!
Came good in the end didn’t it Becky. 😊🦞🦞
I absolutely love watching your channel with my grand daughter, I really appreciate that you explain the kind and what they are....my grand daughter says put on welcome to the fish locker mam! Lolol....she's 6
Haha. That is wonderful to hear. I am glad that she enjoys the videos. Who knows she may want to pursue a career in fisheries? 😊🦞🦀
Woooooo my favourite time of the week
😬🦞🦀
You got a good workout today John!
I sure did.
While I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos, the lobster pot videos are just oddly satisfying. Thank you...
I enjoy them too. Like an Easter egg hunt.
A perfect start to the day, watching you haul lobster pots with a variety of different species. The star of the film has to be the rockling, the biggest I've seen. A good workout for you as well.
It was a good one wasnt it. 👍🏻😊
awesome video once again
Thanks mate.
Nice haul...
Came good in the end. 😊
Howdy John!! Pulling those pots sure does make a man out of you! Always love watching your videos. Love when you take your catch to James' kitchen & watching him create fabulous meals out of them! Falmouth harbor sure is beautiful!!!!
Falmouth is a stunning place isn’t it. 😊💙
Superb haul, that Rockling was rather special, good bit of fishing that was John, enjoyed watching that
He was a big one wasnt he. 👍🏻😉
Looked like a hard day John.💪💪
But you got your reward at the end.👏👏
Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
Thank you Ian. 😊🦞🦞
Love fish locker 🎣🐠🐟🦀💋💛
My name is Hannah and I as well prefer crab over lobster haha ❤ cheers from California 💋
Well you can have the crabs and James and I will have the lobsters. 😬🦞🦀
Sounds good 😁
I'm very fond of lobsters, and I just imagine the cook up your going to have 😎
Delicious. 😬🦞🦞
I love these hauling videos but that squeek that make when they come on board sets my teeth on edge.
Haha. Me too. 😫
Hello John, we watch your videos all the time and enjoy it very much.
Thank you.
Another great video and glad to see it paid off in the end. I was annoyed for you recently when your pots had obviously been hauled before you got to them. Thx again for taking the time and for such regular videos. Relaxing and informative 👍
It is no problem Vikki. I plan to continue 2 videos per week for October and then revert back to 1 a week as the weather gets bad in winter.
Just finished a 13 hour shift. This is a perfect way to relax. Can't wait to see my family in Lands end.
Ouch. Get yourself a shower and bed mate. 👍🏻
You can tell that you were right about the conditions, apart from you dancing around there are no, or very few boats out on the water. Nevertheless your hard work was rewarded with 2 good lobsters & 2 good crabs. I am sure you have or will enjoy them all. Thanks for the great natural commentary that we always get along with all the relevant informative information. Cheers mate & regards to all the family, Don from South Aust.
Haha. Yeah, I was the only one daft enough to be out on the water. 🤣🦞🦀
Nice Haul today! Great to see that last one pay off, especially due to the extra work involved for today!
Came good in the end mate. 👍🏻🦞🦀
Great video again , not been subscribed to your channel very long and wondered if you could or have done a video on how to prepare lobsters and crabs for the pot and which parts you can and cannot eat. Wold be good to see and helpful, many thanks.
Hi Garry, we have lots of videos showing that in both the coastal foraging playlist and the catch and cook playlist. 👍🏻😊
Cracking John loved it and very happy for you top effort. Really enjoy the knowledge you share to cheers j
Thanks John. 😊👍🏻
Beautiful green glass water. Lovely.
I had to grin. The way you talk about the different kinds of rocklings, it's like you're describing Chinese dragons!
Haha. They get called “Slugs” by local anglers. 🤣
Well done - those last two lobsters were worth the wait!
Came good in the end. 🦞🦞
👍Smashin footage John👍 Love how you take the time to explain what you're doing and give plenty of info,it helps people understand and learn...I appreciate how hard it is hauling pots in mate,especially against the tide 🤬🤬
- John - I noticed in several of your most recent pot hauling videos and especially @ 24:35 in this one, that you are no longer showing us you deploying your floats after shooting your pots back.
You clever devil, you are editing your footage so the folks you suspect of checking your pots before you do, don't know what colors to look for at sea. Great idea! At least if they are going to steal your catch or traps, they'll have to work a lot harder for their supper. 🤠
If it was easy mate, everyone would do it. 🤣🦞🦀
I also change the floats periodically.
The one with the mussels,cracking.
Gonna copy the recipe ✌🏻👏👍🏻
Enjoy. 😊
Cracking video again John, keep up the good work love from Scotland 🤝🇬🇧💙
Thank you.
Keep you strong that! Could do that for a few months a year, looks fun💪
Summer workout. 💪🏻
