Another great video John, loving all the tips. I have found the detachable hook lengths from one of your other videos a great time saver, not in just baiting up but also not having to make up so many complete rigs.😁

Taking great comfort from your videos. Both my parents died within the past 10 days. Dad was a true countryman and reminds me of Fishlocker for his knowledge and skills.

The one thing that I find that 'flows' throughout all your fishing videos is your infallible logic to all sorts of situations. One can't fault it! This is a great example - and for me personally - gives me hope as I have VERY rarely fished from a pier and with my age increasing rapidly (!!), this gives me some serious hope!! Brilliant as always John. Thank you.

You and I could sit and talk about things for hours mate. I like to think of myself as a logical person and a "thinking" angler. There is a reason for things, for them to go right or for them to go wrong. We as an intelligent being should be finding better, smarter and more efficient/effective ways of doing everything in life. From the days living in caves discovering fire to modern day technological and medical advances. You have a problem and you find a solution. In my experience the best and most effective solution is often the simplest one. The logical one. Sadly modern people have a habit of overcomplicating things and don't see the purest simplest logic until it is explained to them. Then it's obvious. Haha.

I fished the same place 2 yrs ago as we just came out of lockdown. I had an 8ft spinning rod and fished 2ft away from the wall a size 1 hook with ragworm. I had 15 wrasse in 1 hr upto 7lb in weight. I couldnt believe it. A local said shed lived there 14yrs and never seen such a big fish before caught from there. Just to prove what you say about not chucking out to France. Really enjoy your videos. Cheers!
