Dear John Mate! I Love your Cornish accent, heavy to understand. Fishing, foraging the Cornish tides (along with your son)! Like Grannma Gina cooking pasta, however allowed two lobsters, three big crabs waving with claws before cooked . That’s the juice! You’l never eat all the seafood by yourselves. You catch and you share with Family and with Friends.

I paused the blog to put a comment on and I’m only a couple of minutes in John. Just reading some comments and your replies. You are such a kind man just by saying that it’s great if your vlogs help someone. You take the time to reply and not that many do that all they want is the notoriety of KZread. You seem to care about people too which is an endearing kind thing about you. Fish Locker does me good just by seeing the sea and learning about it too..I.e..your coastal foraging goes down a treat…eating the scallops on the shore with a homemade log cooker. Your a good man John, a nice well mannered man. Be happy stay safe give the wife and son hugs every day too. Steph xx

Seeing the fish on the fishfinder makes perfect sense to me from my experience in freshwater river fishing. They're hanging back low in the slack water watching the faster flow overhead. Conserving energy until they see a food item pass over and then rush out and grab it. Awesome content as always John.

Fascinating as always, and takes me back to jigs and rigs; live bait was lugworm, ragworm, limpet squid and cockles; usually worked best on plaice.
