1300 Mile Winter Boat Adventure to Scotland - Sea Fishing UK | The Fish Locker 

Please where in Scotland did you launch the boat and fish?

Hi John I caught.my PB Tope out of there our club only had one trip out from the port and it was the last day that the charter boat was going to be fishing out of there and in all the time that the boat had been fishing from there my tope was the 1st and only tope every caught on the boat

Great video John, personally like the Vlog Style and i recon it will help a few that are new. Just things like you feeling for heat from bearings etc great fishing as always to 👍

Please don’t alter your content too much. You offer a great untainted experience. Reality and great knowledge shared honestly and professionally! I wish you and your family well. PS I haven’t fished for 20 yrs 😮

I don’t pretend to get it right all the time, I just do my best. 🎣😊

@@TheFishLocker your best is better than most, rest assured. You are a pleasure to watch as are your family.😊

We always enjoy every time we visit Scotland. 😊💙

@@TheFishLocker❤

I’m glad you enjoyed joining us.

It’s a stunning place. 🎣👍🏻

Thank you.

That it is!!

Aye mate. Lots goes on that folks don’t get to see. Problem solving and prep work. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Haha. It was further for me to collect the bait!!

Stunning place isn’t it.

The fishing in Australia is a thousand times better

We had a great trip.

It’s the same as when checking a door handle in fire training. Always use the back of your hand incase it’s hot.

❄️🥶

Thank you.

Thanks John.

Cheers bud.

No problem 👍

We will certainly be back when the weather is warmer. 🤣🥶

They are the same with smaller skates in Cornwall. The smaller males are more active and aggressive feeders.

I like to think so. Imagine how itchy and niggly it must be having them chewing on you constantly with no way of getting them off!!

@@TheFishLocker this is the single thing I focus on when thinking of the innumerable animal parasites. Across the entire planet it is only us humans who can remove them all, sure there are cleaner fish and chimpanzees eat them off each others backs' but that only covers those above the surface. Think about scabies with humans, notoriously itchy and burrowing under the skin, good luck trying to pull them out. Or thread worms which I have only had once decades ago as a child, I still remember the intolerable itchiness centre of my arse. Worse still they became active at night, right as your trying to sleep they make it abundantly clear they're fully awake. A single tablet and they're all dead, problem sorted. People romanticise the idea of being some other animal and the freedom it represents, all I can imagine is unending constant itchiness that you are utterly helpless to stop.

I’ve never met Ronnie but I hear good things. 👍🏻🎣

His daughter beat him on that trip didn’t she.haha. I remember both of those videos too.

Thank you.

Cheers Andy. 👍🏻🎣

Oh dear. I hope you are feeling better soon Nicola. 💙

Glad you enjoyed it James.

If it was easy everyone would do it. 😉🎣

More of the same, interesting and different.

Thanks John. Take it easy bud.

I did the driving but it was a massive help having someone else there with me just to talk to and keep me focused. 👍🏻🎣

Glad you enjoyed the trip mate. Let’s see what else we can get up to. 😉🎣

She’s a trooper isn’t she.

I’m not one to shy away from a challenge. If it was easy everyone would do it. 😉🤣

Teamwork makes the dream work. 😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Glad you enjoyed joining us mate.

It is my pleasure Dave. Best wishes and tight lines bud. 🎣👍🏻

Thanks David.

They’re wonderful aren’t they. 😊🎣👍🏻

@@TheFishLocker indeed, they have a lot to be proud of starting out in what is actually quite tough times in terms of pricing and business costs, I wish them every success. God knows they deserve it with their hard work and passion for the craft.

😊🎣

Best wishes and take care. 👍🏻🎣

I would like that. Thank you for the offer. 👍🏻🎣

Thank you kriss, have a great day. 😊

Thanks mate. 👍🏻🎣

Thanks mate.

Thanks Paul.

Welcome to our channel. We do enjoy Scotland and have a few videos from there. 😊👍🏻

Thank you very much. 🎣👍🏻

If I reach that age I think I will feel the same. 😉

Haha. Well I never said we were sane individuals 🤪

You can really stretch it out if you go from beaucette to the fairy ring maybe get to 35-40mins

😂😂@@benlepoidevin7047 especially if the Lycra cyclist gang are along the coast.

Great to hear from you again Jacqui.

John - I was glad you included your short bit about the use of the honesty box. I've used them before but was taught just to initial the corner of my payment, cash or receipts, just in case someone else tried to claim my payment action as their own. There are dishonest clowns on either side of the Pond. Have a safe and happy 2024 and keep the videos coming.

@@mstrdiver - There are dishonest people in every walk of life mate. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Any time Robert. 😉👍🏻

Perfect driving music.

Thank you very much. I do have quite a lot of experience on small boats and enjoy a challenge. 🎣👍🏻

Touch wood she towed really well.

Thanks Luke.

Those special trips allways make it worth while 🎣👍🏻

Thank you very much. 👍🏻🎣

See you later bud. 🎣👍🏻

Wouldn’t have been a session without a few doggies. 😉🤣

It’s a wonderful area. 👍🏻🎣

Aye fortunately we had a straight shot through.

👍🏻

Any time Denis. 🎣👍🏻

Glad you enjoyed joining us again Mike. 🎣👍🏻

What can you do ey? Just got to get on with it. 👍🏻🎣

Absolutely bud iv been twice this week avina go, won’t get nothing sat on the sofa 🤣

Haha. Or at least you think you can. 😉🤣

Aye mate. This spell of poor weather we’ve had I was getting cabin fever at home. 🤣

@@TheFishLocker haha tell me about it been In since September but it’s looking promising to get out Saturday fingers crossed

Stunner of a spot. 🎣👍🏻

We had a brilliant trip. 👍🏻🎣

At least you weren’t half way there thinking “oh damn I’ve forgotten to pack….?” 😮🤣

Cheers Lawrence. 🎣👍🏻

Haha. I did contemplate saying it on camera. 🤣

I thought you did a good job of taking care of the safety aspect of trailering the boat. You showed several times that you were checking that the wheel bearings were not overheating, checking tightness of the straps etc etc. A trailer breakdown is often caused by a wheel related issue, no wheel bearing maintenance or old cracked trailer tires failing.@@TheFishLocker

Thank you Henry.

Any time bud. 👍🏻🎣

😬🎣👍🏻

Thank you very much Travis, it is my pleasure. 😉🎣👍🏻

Best wishes mate and have a great week. 👍🏻🎣

@TheFishLocker you too mate 👍🏻

We were very fortunate with the conditions. 🎣👍🏻

Stunning place isn’t it.

Glad you enjoyed it Phil. 🎣👍🏻

Thannnuou Jeanette. 😊🎣👍🏻

It was well worth the effort.

😉👍🏻🎣

We had this trip planned for several weeks waiting for that weather break up there coinciding with good tides for the slipway. 😉🎣👍🏻

My pleasure.

It is our pleasure my friend. 😊🎣

Glad you think so. 🎣👍🏻

Amazing to see how they have thrived in these protected areas.

Thank you very much Mick. 👍🏻

Iam coming down cornwall in September for holiday maybe we could have day out I've got lure rods to use & don't mind paying my way 👍🎣👍🎣👍

Thank you Debbie.

I’m not rushing to do it again mate. 🤣🎣

@@TheFishLocker haha, i dont blame you mate 👍

We had a great trip mate. Thank you. 🎣👍🏻

That eel was a surprise wasn’t it.

black mouth dogfish@@TheFishLocker

Haha. Silver linings and all that. 👍🏻

Ya didn't bring one of those beasts back for Jim to have a go at then? @@TheFishLocker

Thanks mate.

Thanks very much mate.

Pretty much. 🤣👍🏻

@@TheFishLocker seeing your bait being so large you'd be thrilled to catch one as a target fish, I was immediately convinced that your first catch was definitely going to be a dogfish. Is it bad that I was disappointed when an impressive skate appeared? I don't wish you bad fortune but catching a dogfish would have been comic perfection.

It’s a stunning part of the world isn’t it 😊🎣

So were we, it was disappointing to learn there were no other species in the area. I am assuming this many big predatory skate have just eaten everything else.

Thank you.

Haha. I don’t look forward to doing it again.
