Deep Sea Wreck Fishing - Fishing sunken Shipwrecks for BIG Fish for food | The Fish Locker
Today I fish several offshore locations and shipwrecks in the hope of catching fish for food. Our stores of eating fish are getting low so it's time to restock the freezer. I share the techniques and methods used, share with you how I use and haul my anchor, and explain what is happening as I do it. Every day at sea is a good day, but its better when it ends with some delicious fish to eat.
Here are links to some of the tackle that I used in this video. I hope it helps.

John, I took my 5 year old grandson on out boat at the weekend for the first time, he loved it and never stopped asking questions as they do. Anyway picked him up from school today, checked in on him as he was so quiet, there he was watching one if your videos on fishing filleting. Is this where my fish comes from grandad was the question, yes love said I. I love fish he says. Great videos as ever. Regards Col

Hi John still following from Qatar but have to laugh you go out on your own, to these wrecks bring up monster eels, bring them on the boat, and tell them to calm down, I would be running away and launching the life boat. Total credit to you.

Great video upload. The live bait you caught at the beginning were fish many of us buy at local shops and markets. I thought they were the ideal size. The eels you caught were impressive. Always find myself being impressed with eels being caught. Always remember one of the first times I tasted eel it was deep friends and coated in batter. Out of this world. Lots of bones though. But the taste was superb. You certainly have a lot of luck when going on these fishing trips. An entertaining and enjoyable video upload. Thank you for sharing.
