- I am glad we share that philosophy mate. Treat everything with respect and appreciation.

@@TheFishLocker What brought me to the channel was the coastal foraging, truly a wealth of information you shared in a rather short video. Keep it up, and we'll keep coming back

Totally agree with that comment ! I would love to go sit on a trip with this guy he’s great. Glad I come across this channel Iv spent the majority of my Sunday watching the videos

Totally agree there!

No matter how much care you take it’s suffering for the fish. Would you like to be in the same situation???

Dragoneisha777 - Thank you very much. It is sad to hear that you are not able to fish any more. Hopefully our videos go so way to scratching that itch 😉🎣👍🏻

Philip Shaw - Thanks Philip. Glad you enjoyed it mate. Hopefully there’s some useful info in there for folks. 😉👍🏻🎣🐟

- Thank you Robert. We are simply sharing what we love doing. :)

James Mayo - Thanks James. I must admit I’m not a fan of sandy beach fishing as I don’t like getting sand everywhere. But when it’s good it’s hard to beat!!! 😊🎣🐟

Sea Fishing Only! - When I can I will mate. But it’s hard to pick the shore when you have a boat. 😆😬🛥👍🏻🎣

- I'm glad that you are finding the videos inspiring Matt, we are simply sharing what we love doing. 😊

Brilliant, thank you so much for joining us!

- That brilliant Dave I am glad the videos are useful to you. Tight lines.

- Thanks mate, I love taking the kids out fishing. Theres nothing id rather be doing that being out on the boat with the family. :)

Roibeard O'Loughtnain - Thanks Robert. Really pleased the video came out well and it’s good viewing. I’ve said it many times, you can catch big fish on small hooks, but you can’t catch small ones on big hooks. - unless they’re dogfish. They’ll take anything 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

Stephen Gayfer - Thankyou Stephen, I am glad you found it good viewing. I’m glad it worked out ok aswel, I got sand EVERYWHERE 😳😫Tight lines mate. 👍🏻🎣

Graham Allen - Thankyou Graham. I’m glad you liked it mate. Hopefully folks find it helpful. 😊👍🏻🐟🎣

Ricky Griffiths - Thanks Ricky. 😬👍🏻 Glad you’re enjoying the vids and finding them useful. Tight lines mate. 👍🏻🎣🐟😉

neil hellens - I really enjoyed it Neil. As you say very peaceful. I was hoping for a smoothound or something at least that would pull back.haha. That small eyed was hilarious taking that huge bait.lol. Tight lines. 👍🏻🎣🐟😉

donal kelleher - Thankyou Donal, yes it was a good session. You quickly forget the sand and being wet when the fishing is that good. 😬👍🏻🎣🐟

- Thank you Joe, I am simply sharing what I love doing in the hope that it helps others to enjoy it too. 😊👍🏻

Paul whitemore - Thankyou Paul. I really enjoyed it, I’m really glad the video worked out ok. 😊 Tight lines mate. 😉👍🏻🎣🐟

Haha. I find myself getting immersed in them some nights. Reliving the session through the videos. 😊

LlcoolDad Perspective - That’s great mate. Really pleased you found it helpful. Tight lines 😊👍🏻🎣🐟

- I'm glad you're enjoying the videos mate. Best wishes and welcome to our channel. ;)

@@TheFishLocker shared on Facebook if you don't mind man. It's good to see a down to earth fishing channel instead of a sales pitch like most of them. Looking forward to more

Paul Clifford - It’s often an hours game mate. You can only catch what is there. One good session can quickly make you forget all the poor ones. 😉👍🏻🎣🐟

@@TheFishLocker very true will definitely be out again soon

- Haha. This was an incredible session. I did get a fright when I stripped off in the carpark to get dry and an old dear walked past with her dog.lol.

basa364 - Thanks Basa. Tight lines mate. 😉👍🏻🎣

GA FishOn - Thanks mate. Aye, when the surroundings are that nice the fishing almost becomes a secondary. Almost. 😉😛👍🏻🎣

My pleasure bud, glad you enjoyed the video. 👍🏻🎣

Stinky Muppet - Thankyou very much. No problem at all. Glad you’re enjoying them. 😊👍🏻🎣🐟

- Haha. You can't improve on a classic can you mate. I do like my sambas. All the best Mark.

- yes those weavers can be a right nuisance can't they. Seen a few very unfortunate bathers step on them on the beach in bare feet. :(

Colin Philpott - Thanks Colin. 👍🏻 Oh they sure do mate. Got another video in editing at the minute 😉👍🏻🎣

@@TheFishLocker Sweet, can't wait.

Sussex Seagull - Thanks lad, aye it was a cracking little session on the beach. Definitely worth getting sandy for. 😉👍🏻😛🎣

Brad The Impaler - Thats great Brad, welcome to the channel. 👍🏻 I do a bit of coarse fishing but seafishing is my passion! Have a look through the playlists, hopefully there could be some helpful stuff for you. Tight lines. 😊🎣🐟

phil brooke - Haha. Pace yourself. Your watching them faster than we can make them. 😆👍🏻🎣

Arriving Arriving - Haha. I’ve heard that from a few folks with other vids. 🤣 I’m glad you enjoyed the video. It was a good little session, I’m glad the video turned out ok. 😬👍🏻🎣

@@TheFishLocker I live 100 yds from the sea, could get bait easily and the urge to get out tonight for 2:20am HW is massive now.....but I'm working tomorrow...lol

leonard whelehan - I’m not a great fan of sandy beaches as it just gets everywhere. They can be great fishing but the cleanup afterwards is just a real headache.lol. Glad you enjoyed the video mate 😊👍🏻🐟🎣

Paul Mangan - Thanks Paul, glad you found it interesting and good viewing. Tight lines. 👍🏻🎣😉

- I wouldnt thank you for them Ian. I won't wear waders, far too dangerous. Seen far too many folks fall foul of being swamped. Even knew 2 lads drowned because of them.

Blaser R8 - I was mate but enjoyed every minute of it. 😬🤣👍🏻🎣🐟

Red Beard - I don’t know a northern bloke who doesn’t own a pair. 🤣

gavin mcnamara - Thanks Gavin, yes it was a great session in really nice surroundings. Glad you liked the vid. 👍🏻🎣😬

Will Hayes - Thanks Will, it really was one of those where you walk off the beach thinking “I’m really glad I came” they soon make the poor sessions fade away. 😊👍🏻🎣🐟

Jason Devlin - That Jason is exactly how I feel. I prefer my rock marks over sandy beaches. 😉👍🏻🎣🐟

Geoff Streatfield - Thankyou Geoff. 😊 Yes according to some of the older boys they tell me of times when they were so abundant they were a nuisance. Sadly now they must be a targeted capture. Shame you didn’t fare the best but that’s sometimes the way, they can’t all be amazing sessions can they. 🤷🏻‍♂️ If you have any advice on where I can target Undulates I’d really appreciate it. They are a target I will be aiming for this year. 😊😉🎣🐟If you can PM me on the Fishlocker fb page that would be amazing. 👍🏻

Richard Turner - Do it mate!!! Who knows. We may bump into each other? 😉 Really glad you’re enjoying the vids mate. Best of luck when you get out. 👍🏻🎣😉🐟

- Never tried it. Thanks I will keep and eye out.

Muayyd Mo - Thankyou. It’s a beach in Cornwall. 👍🏻🎣

adolfo francisco - Thankyou very much. Glad you’re enjoying the content. Plenty more to come. 😉👍🏻🎣

No thank you, you’re the one doing the work

matt man - Haha. You ain’t seen nothing yet. 😉🎣

George Newcombe - Yes I did say that. 😬 And once it was dark I didn’t go out past my knees, it must have just been from me walking around, splashing about and messing with the fish. 😉 Good shout about the weavers.

- Thank you Cheri, all the best.

yumyumpigsbum - Thankyou very much mate. Tight lines. 🎣🐟👍🏻😉

The Autistic Angler - Thanks mate. It’s not Watergate bay but someone else mentioned that too me aswell after watching the video. Good luck. 👍🏻🎣🐟😉

ben kevern - Thanks Ben, glad you enjoyed it mate. I’ll do my best. 👍🏻🎣😉

Matthew Summerfield - Welcome to the channel Matthew. It is interesting how different species are filling the void left by the reduction in cod stocks. The hounds are great fun aren’t they. I have a hound fishing video on the channel. Was a mental session!! 😆👍🏻🎣🐟

@@TheFishLocker fantastic fishing when you get a big "pack". Fast & frenetic. 1 rod job as no way your keeping 2 rods fishing 😁 i love using peeler, not only they love it here, you get bonus bass, rays & the odd surprise 😁

Since 2009 cod have just nosed dived here.... used to be plenty of codling early autumn onwards then doubles later. Unicorns now 😟

- You should watch my smoothound video. ;)

Haha. Thank you Jeffo. Take care bud. 👍🏻🎣

Malc Proud - Aw mate I know what you mean. My Mrs and our girl have been rolling around in stitches watching some of the weird things the subtitles throw up for me. 🤣🤣🤣 Glad you enjoyed the video mate. I’m not a great fan of sandy beach fishing but when it’s that good I don’t mind it too much 😛👍🏻🎣

@@TheFishLocker Must get me some of those Cox enrole hooks lol

BUSHCRAFT AND FISHING WITH THE PIKEY - Thanks bud, it’s great when things fall into place. Got another belter couple of vids on the way. 😉👍🏻🎣

Gary Bishop - No problem Gary I’m glad you liked it, hopefully you found it useful. 😉👍🏻🎣

Romas fisherman - Thankyou Romas.

- Thanks Steve. 😊

Scott Senior - Cheers Scott. Glad you enjoyed it mate. How’s the fishing been doing up your way?

@@TheFishLocker the last good session I had was on Withernsea beach got a good video for my KZfaq channel got a few nice fish but no since then I haven't really been doing much fishing I'm just getting my mental health back on track I'm currently going to mind and we have a group of us that are working there which is brilliant to help my health after this I shall start my fishing again can't wait to go again and I'm volunteering to fix bikes for people who can't afford it to keep me busy but yeah a few things to do with and then I'm going to start my fishing again thanks mate

Scott Senior - That sounds great mate. Great to hear you are getting right and working well. Tight lines my friend. 👍🏻🎣

- Cracking fun aren't they. 😊

LlcoolDad Perspective - I’ve been saying for a while that I will do some more shore fishing and beach stuff. Just systematically building the playlists. It was a really great session so I’m over the moon the video turned out well. Hope it was useful to you. 😉👍🏻🎣🐟

gary murray - Thanks Gary, glad it was good viewing. Hopefully it will help some folks out on the beach. 😊👍🏻🎣

EAF 2107 - Thankyou very much. Tight lines. 😉🎣🐟

My pleasure John I'm glad you enjoyed it. 😊

gary CURD - It was a good night mate. Got another good one in editing. Those rigs are great. 😉👍🏻🎣😬

David Markall - They’re fantastic hooks aren’t they. I use them in loads of my fishing. 👍🏻🎣

Colin Blight - That’s the spirit mate. Glad you enjoyed it. What’s the target?

Fish John😂. Had 5 bass last two times I went, nothing big though. Might go Watergate bay and try for a smoothy and nice bass, I have razors, eel and squid so might get lucky. Been a couple of nice bass off there lately.

Colin Blight - That sounds like my type of place mate. Good luck. 👍🏻🎣

Was you on South coast mate?

Colin Blight - North coast bud. 👍🏻🎣

Declan o hagan - No problem Declan, glad you found it helpful. 👍🏻🎣

- Bite alarms and sea fishing are not something I really think works. You can get small bells that you fix to the rod tips but I always forget and then fire them off when I cast.Haha. I will be doing something on gaper clams in the coming weeks. ;)

- I'm glad you enjoyed it mate. I'm not sure where you live but thank you for not revealing your suspected location. I purposefully keep locations secret to protect them and the local fishermen.

No probs, i totally understand that John..;-)

varmartin of Kernow - Thank you. The videos are about sharing the methods and the knowledge - not the marks. 😉

SKY WATCHER UK - Thankyou very much. It’s a good session like that which makes me not mind beach fishing so much. I’m not a fan of sand in my shoes 🤣😉👍🏻🎣

- Haha. Just one more cast. lol

- Haha. Yeah that would be of benefit wouldn't it. 😊

- Change the habitat and you change the fish. Down here if they see a cod from the shore they lose their minds Haha. 😊

@@TheFishLocker Too true, but the wife will not move! Would live to move back to Yorkshire or somewhere quieter than Thurrock mate. Will keep trying however!

martin gibson - Cheers Martin. Thankyou.👍🏻🎣

- Thanks Chris. Aye the "dislikers" make me chuckle. We have a few rival channels who subscribe just to dislike the videos and get their mates to troll the channel just out off pure petty jealousy. Sad really but shows more about their poor character than the video. Take care mate. 😊

@@TheFishLocker bloody hell never even considered that. In truth if you’re good at what you do you wouldn’t need to carry on like that. Watched This vid again as it’s that enjoyable, Fish on mate. Oh and more shore based fishing is good for variety

8r4ham - No problem Graham, glad you enjoyed it mate. I’m not a massive fan of sandy beach fishing just because you get it everywhere. But when the fishing’s good I don’t mind 😛😉👍🏻🎣

its so exciting isn't it!?

How do you mean Paul? We do have a teemill clothing store. It is pinned to the top of the fishlocker fb page. 😊

@@TheFishLocker I'll check it out

ter - Thanks bud, glad you enjoyed the vid, yes I worried about the crashing surf which is why I kept the camera a long ways back. The waders story is nothing special. Just fell off a rotten jetty into a lake and nearly drowned as the waders filled up with water. Won’t wear them now. 😬👍🏻🎣🐟

In-depth Tackle - Thanks mate. 😊👍🏻🐟

@@TheFishLocker you will be out on the boat today I'm guessing John....if so take care still a fair swell on

- Thank you Tiina

- Yes that is a big bonus of those type of venues. I hate losing gear.

The Fish Locker ; snagging up is every anglers nightmare but also inevitable at many of the fish holding marks. The pulley rig is excellent especially when fished with a Gemini “rotten bottom” link.

xGHOST LORDx - Haha. I’ve been called a few things before, a few that even end in “end”. But never that. Tight lines mate. 😉👍🏻🎣😛

South Somerset Ferreters fieldsports channel - Thankyou very much. I prefer my time on the boat but when the fishing is good from the shore it’s hard to beat. 👍🏻🎣

Simon E - Hi Simon and welcome to the channel. When you say not many, do you mean in general or just in my video? 😊👍🏻🎣

Yes in general.

Simon E - A lot of the UK coast is sandy beach so there are a lot. Often though the fishing isn’t great so I guess you don’t see much of it publicised. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you for the explanation. I am always fascinated with fishing from accross the pond. I also love the fact that you harvest just enough shellfish and respect the area where you harvest them. Keep up the good work and looking forward for more of yur videos... cheers!!!

Simon E - Thankyou Simon. All the best. 👍🏻🎣🐟😊

Paul Clarke - Cheers Paul. Tight lines mate. 👍🏻🎣😊

Jamie Falla - Hi Jamie, Thankyou very much. Glad you liked it. Bare basic explanation, the my version of the up and over rig gives you a sliding ledger rig with a longer hooklength. The “pulley dropper” isn’t really a pulley in that respect. The lead is fixed. And the hooklength is shorter.

Phil Thorpe - Well I’m glad to hear they’re good viewing. And to answer your question, yes. But you can eat most things it just depends on how hungry you are. 😉🎣🍽

- It’s just really difficult to do if you’re on your own. Especially at night. I show it a bit better in my most recent video. I will try my best to show them in future. Usually you have to wait for the bite then turn on the camera. Otherwise by the time you get a fish the battery is dead.lol. 🤷🏻‍♂️😬👍🏻🎣

@@TheFishLocker cheers pal appreciate that

CARRINGTON GROUP - Thanks guys. 👍🏻🎣

Haha. Cheers mate. I do that when I’m watching the videos back in editing. 🤣

David Booth - Thanks David. Any luck and I’ll be targeting a few more ray species this year. 😉 Is it just Thornies up your way?

where I live John, believe it or not, in 37 years fishing, I've never had a ray, or heard of one here, not saying there not here, because we have some lovely long sandy beaches, but I've never had one. They do get them 20 mile south, but just not here, buy the way, i'm about 15 miles past Newcastle.

David Booth - Have you ever watched Earl on “Gone Fishing” he fishes up your way and has been targeting rays for a while - he’s just had himself a nice thornback. Might be worth having a chat and sharing marks? 🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏻🎣

John mate, Earl lives and fishes the west coast, i'm over the north east coast, well up past Newcastle, bordering south east Scotland.

David Booth - I thought Earl was Northumberland. Blyth area?

- We just want to be able to get out of the house. Even just for a walk on the shore.

- Thanks Darren 😉👍

- I can't remember why I chucked it on the sand. I suspect it had been frustrating me off camera. Haha. There is an in depth review of it on the FishLocker Workshop channel. 😊
