Just bought my first boat for fishing ,I've kayak fished for many years but your channel helps with most questions I have, many thanks and will keep watching, ps got a seajeep

My eyes can see now. Thanks for this education.

Your videos are very informative and very relaxing to watch. You and your family have inspired me to purchase a 16ft cuddy boat. I'm going to spend the time fixing it up and becoming more accustomed to all the safety aspects of sea fishing. I'm definitely a novice and have only some experience of beach casting for bass and pier for mackerel. So I've fulfilled a dream of owning a boat. Your videos are brilliant keep up the great work. You helped my mental health also. Went foraging the other day found a few blood anenamas but no lobsters!!

More great advice. Thank you John.

- Glad you think so Mike. I hope it helps folks out.

that is such an informative video, you should be teaching this for a living. Great video

4:10 I’ve got a smaller one of those for kayaks tho I don’t have a kayak and I also have a proper anchor

Great video John only thing I’ve been thought differently is like the grapple anchor I would shackle the chain on the plough anchor on the pre drilled corner and use a cable tie the same as it would release a similar way👍👍. Keep up the great videos pal🎣🎣🎣

Great video John.I like to bridle anchor when there's tide run in one direction and wind in another. Here in Australia we use a danforth for sand or mud or a reef pick for reef/rough ground.

- That's pretty similar to how we do things. Also when there's wind across the tide a drogue can help keep you steady. :)

Very effective and simple. But one of those things that you probably wont think of by yourself. Well I would not have thought of it anyway :)

Great vid dude. Knowledge and wisdom .... priceless ppl. #Respect

Informative as always. Great channel especially for beginners like me. When bream fishing I understand that it is helpful to use a chum bag on the sea bed. A friend ties his chum bag to the anchor to keep it out of the way of fishing lines whilst still putting out a scent trail towards the baits. He has got a windlass to haul his anchor however I am looking to use an Alderney ring retrieval method as my boat is only small (Quicksilver 555PH). Any advice on what to do would be much appreciated. Keep up the good work.

Great explanation of anchoring and anchor placement

Hi what size of boat and engine do I need for of shore fishing not to far out a mile or so .

Hi fish locker I was just wondering what diameter rope you use thanks 🙂

Learned a lot from that, especially anchoring up over specific marks or wrecks. Once you set your anchor how did you tie off at the bow?

@@thefishlockerworkshop I deserved that reply 🤣 is it on a lazy line? I throw the anchor out through the fore hatch. I need to get a lazy line set up.

Great video yet again, what is the best way of marking the rope so you can see how much rope you have let out?

@@thefishlockerworkshop thanks for advice, we have a quicksilver pilothouse moored at whitby for nearly 40 year but only ever had cod goggles on as well as the usual like ling Pollack etc. After catching halibut in norway and landing one in whitby last year I'm wanting to target them and and also bass do you have any tips? Best time of year/ Mark's / tides states etc?

What rope do u use with your anchor and always great videos

Have you ever tried using two anchors one off the back to help when the wind blows

That would defeat the purpose when the tides and wind change

Hi John!! I’ve been watching a lots anchor videos 🤯 anyway I’m basically ready to go by following the advice on your video, my question is can I add a weak link to both ends of my small grappling anchor meaning if my anchor gets stuck to the point of no return I won’t lose my full anchor line? Sorry if this a stupid question.

I wouldn't do that, you will lose it unnecessarily.

Look up the lazy line method

Sometimes I notice on navyonics that my boat sometimes spins around in circles slowly while anchored. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Nothing just with wind and tide your boat will pivot round your anchor perfectly normal can’t change that unless you’re using 2-3 anchors

If that's basics I'll cancel getting a boat, as layman will never get that as long as I live without going college for about 3 years x
