Boat Fishing in Cornwall - Using my new Garmin Livescope Plus System | The Fish Locker
A beautiful day on the boat and some exciting news. I have just agreed to work with Garmin as a Garmin Fishing Ambassador. Hopefully this will help us to enjoy better fishing and making better content for you all. I talk through my previous Livescope XR system and the new Livesope Plus kit I have fitted to the boat. We then go fishing and enjoy some amazing sport on an inshore reef with fish after fish after fish!!!
If you want to learn more about the equipment I have fitted here is a link - bit.ly/3NYm5yF
The little spinners that I used today really nailed the fish, here is a link to them - amzn.to/3I7Zwnk

Good on you for taking a little sponsorship, sounders have come on so much that it would be great to have someone like you really show us around them . And before people moan, its not cheating. We have been finding fish like this for years, it's just now we mere mortals can read the screen a bit better . Still got to find them and catch them, its a huge sea out there !!
Congratulations they couldn't have chosen a better ambassador well done 👏👏👏

What impresses me most about that sounder is that you see that fairly detailed image on a day when the boat is rocking around quite a bit. I've seen videos of anglers in the USA using them for ice fishing and when sounder is fixed in position, the detail is astonishing. You can see the fishes' tails moving. Amazing and worrying at the same time. In the wrong hands the fish have no chance.

What makes your videos so interesting, and so watchable, is that like so many “hunters”, your love of your target, (in your case fish), your interest in their lives and their environment on a real and practical level makes you as much scientist, as a fisherman. I really love your enthusiasm, your humour and deep knowledge as well as the excitement of what you catch. The difference between you and me is that I cannot get excited with a wrasse when i want to get a BASS !!.

Haha. A fish is a fish. And I’d much rather catch a 5lb wrasse than a 5lb bass.

At the end, we take a cavern tour, choice of three or more in the area and for James, we'll stop at a local ice cream shop to cool off from the sun and rest the arms.

They might be called _Cuckoo_ wrasse, but for their brilliant colors, I'll always think of them as _peacock_ wrasse. They're just too darn pretty.
