Hello John, I must say you have an enthusiastic manner to fishing that I have lost, I am now 80 yrs old, and do not know anyone who is an enthusiastic angler younger than 40 yrs, mainly because lack of fish combined with the cost of boat angling, so older anglers no longer take their sons/daughters boat fishing, but you are perhaps able to reach this niche market.

Yay my Sunday just got better thanks to you ❤ Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰

My pleasure my friend.

Many years ago when I was a young teenager I went out on a tourist fishing boat from Weymouth and caught what can only be described as a plethora of big fat pouting. Nobody else on the boat wanted them so I took all the biggest, fattest ones in two carrier bags, and the skipper had the rest for crab and lobster bait. I was on a holiday camp-site at the time and had too many fish for my family BBQ, so I filleted the rest and gave them to my campsite neighbours. Those fish went down really well in what became a communal seafood and wine BBQ party on the holiday camp-site hosted impromptu by my (recently) late father. Pouting are not really the best fish to eat, but they're passable, and those ones in that situation and company became gold.

They always brighten your day don’t they.

I really enjoy your videos. My family were fishermen in Great Yarmouth and other places towards Cromer for a couple of hundred years. They were Royal Navy, longshoremen, sailing and steam drifter men and beachmen who made their living fishing and salvaging the many ships that went aground or wrecked on Scroby Sands and other banks around Yarmouth Roads. The beachmen saved the wrecked sailors lives too obviously. One of my relatives was killed when the Beaumont (lifeboat) turned turtle at Caister around 1900. My great grandfather captained a drifter up until he was in his 80's but went blind and had to give it all up, eventually dying in an air raid on Yarmouth at the age of 96 in 1941. My dad and my uncle went to sea to fish in their early teens. With all of that sea-faring history in my family, I've never been able to understand why I get so bloody seasick! I'd never be able to do anything except hang over the side in the chop you were in! Great Video!
