The wrasse were special John, the colours even more so, I like the idea of putting lures into individual tubes as it prevents a treble hook nightmare, in the past I've hooked them on the inside of a bucket but as you say if it falls over you have lures all over the place, I'll have to come round to your way of doing things for a simpler life!! I use the I-Boating site for my recce homework which is similar to the Navionics chart viewer, I think they're indispensable for finding depths & potential places to fish, as ever great work!!

@@TheFishLocker Thanks. I buy cheap Portuguese made ones. I cannot see the point in paying a lot of money for any sort of wellie when you know you are going to wear them out in a matter of months. A little story - I have heard they were invented in Portugal. The Battle of Buçaco was the first time Napoleon's troops were beaten in Iberia. Rumour has it that Wellington had our lads kitted out with his own type of "wellie" whilst the French had the usual boots. It is very damp and slippery on the slopes around Buçaco.

The video did indeed show up well John. The explanation was quite riveting, very clear & very much to the point. Gosh, they were two stunning fish to go with it. Love how you take so much care in handling your fish. Great job my friend, Don from South Aust.

Well done, John, that Navionics site is brilliant. Those wrasse would have put up a great fight on that tackle too.

Great video as always, unfortunately wrasse stocks are facing a grim future. Here in Ireland in the last 4 years 1.6 million wrasse have being caught from a couple of areas on the west coast to be used as cleaner fish in commercial salmon farms. Scottish salmon farms are going through their stocks and now taking wrasse from the south west of England. In Norway they go through 10 million “cleaner fish a year” (lumpfish and wrasse) and wrasse stocks have collapsed in parts of Norway

@@TheFishLocker Glad to hear it 👍 the west coast of Ireland has some great wrasse fishing, hopefully the stocks here will be given some protection before it’s too late

I love the care you take when unhooking and returning fish. Also nipping down your barbs and replacing trebles with single hooks where practical. It's not only kinder on the fish, but easier to unhook them. And if you've ever stuck yourself with a barbed hook, easier to unhook yourself too.

@TheFishLocker 3 жыл бұрын

- Absolutely. Just because we can take these fish for the table does not mean we shouldn't show them respect and compassion. 😊
