Hauling the FishLocker Lobster Pots - Crabs, crabs and more Crabs!!! | The Fish Locker 

Amy, it is our pleasure to share our family adventures with you. Have a great day and stay safe 😊💙🦀

I totally agree. He is an inspiration and brings so much happiness to armchair fishermen like myself.

@@brianproctor8950 totally agree... oh to be 20 again. ;¬)

I'm in the same situation ❤🤗

Only 1 in 10 boats has AIS. In fact I don’t know any recreational/leisure small boat owners who have AIS.

@@TheFishLocker that’s true that recreational boats seldom have AIS. Apple do do a tracker that might work. If nothing else it lets them know that they are being watched and should scare them off. Nuff said. Enjoying the channel .

That was a excellent idea John, seriously!

Mr Grant, thank you this man doesn't deserve this. He has very high individual morales. I just found out his first name from your post, "John." In America we have what we call a town watch, they are community members who volunteer and watch the neighborhood. Maybe you good people could form a coastal pot watch. All it would take is a little organization.

It’s either big enough or it isnt. It’s that simple.

@@TheFishLocker Exactly, if 89mm was big enough, THAT would be the number. I bet there's a sociological/statistical thing for this tho, people taking just outside a set limit of something.

@@TheFishLocker that's what you say to all the girls!...HAHA... You asked for that!🤣🍻

@@TheFishLocker- John I figured out why the stone @ 06:46 was found in your pot. Some pesky octopus dragged it in with the intention of having a crab dinner at your expense, but he dashed away as you were recovering your pots leaving the evidence behind. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Outstanding videos!

The inanity of some people on here is TRULY ASTOUNDING. Do ya really think any one is that thick , that they would film themselves keeping undersized ? Why am i replying to you, SAM ? ( i must be as thick as thee !! )

Thank you for that Connie. Have a wonderful day and take care 😊🦀🦞💙

here, here Connie well said.

When I find the person responsible he will know, that is enough.

@@TheFishLocker good on ya bro!! knew it was in there somewhere lol. don't let it get ya down though mate, keep being that optimistic happy fella we all love 😁 I'm sure they'll get what's coming to em..

In the Army we called it wall-to-wall counseling. I'm sure it "happened" in John's Navy service too. Someone ran afoul of the rules and their actions splashed on others, so they were 'encouraged' to mend their way without making it official. It was handled in-house, as it were.

@@mstrdiver should of guess John served his country. I feel I have more in common with him now. Old U.S. Navy motto: Semper Fortis. Or maybe fitting the Royal Navy's motto: "Si vis pacem, para bellum."

I think we have issues with the same creatures. We call them Terrapins. Most inner city lakes and canals have lots of them in for the same reason. I thank you for your positive feedback and hope you continue to enjoy our videos. Have a lovely day. 😊🦞🦀

They won’t stop us doing what we love doing. 😊👍🏻🦀🦞

Thank you for the support Edward, but sadly most things in the ocean rely upon a gentleman’s agreement. And that also requires gentlemen. Which some people are not.

Thanks Mike. 😉👍🏻

Thank you. I hope it is the depth and range of knowledge that sets our videos apart from others who try to do what we do. 😊🦀🦞

I would add that you're a GREAT commentator. Your words come easy to you, your language is fun and the why and wherefores, descriptive on the weather; the sea life, bait, hooks, the pot pirates, etc. The videos are just fun to watch! Another WONDERFUL video John! Thanks so much! And yes, you DEFINITELY know your "stuff"!

@@TheFishLocker It does. I live miles from the coast but your videos are fascinating and I've learned a lot.

When I was a tad my father's brothers and their families would invite us and we'd all go crabbing on Netarts Bay on the Oregon Coast. They'd plan it out carefully so we would get there just as the tide was turning. We'd set out our pots and everyone would go to the peninsula to set up. My mother and aunts would gather wood for a big bonfire. One of my uncles would set up a driftwood tripod over the fire and hang a pot of sea water so it would come to a boil. There would be potato salad, a jello salad, soda pops, chips and other picnic fare, but the main attractions were the Dungeness crabs. I would go out with the men-folk to watch. They had a special measuring tool that showed what males and females looked like, and a the proper measure for taking. No female crabs could be taken. Only males over a certain size were allowed. We would take only males over the size, and only the limit for each family, even though we would throw many of them back. My father and his brothers showed us kids what integrity was by example. When we returned to our peninsula camp with the crabs my uncle's would proudly show off the crabs before plopping them straight into the boiling water. I remember watching the crabs change color from the greenish brown of the live crabs to the bright red-orange when cooked. My aunts would fish them out, let them cool, and then clean them. I loved looking at the big shells of the backs. And the flavor of them was wonderful.

@@TheFishLocker John I'm so sorry about the pots some ppl just have no respect for other ppls property.i can't wait to see the next video. As always sending love from the U.S to you and your family.

_Technically_ I never wish horrible things upon them. I just pray for Karma to pay special attention to them. 😁😇 If they were better people, it would be a blessing!

People who do these kind of things, generally have a flaw in their character so it negatively effects other aspects of their lives too. So they get their punishment in life by their own doing.

@@TheFishLocker Your really wise John.

@@alexisgrunden1556 lol...old American saying "what goes around, comes around." or "give them enough rope and he/she will hang themself." I pretty much sure he would have given them what was in the pots if asked..poor tortured soul.

@@Herknungr I wouldn't have expected anything less from John.

I am glad you can join us on the coast vicariously. 😊👍🏻

I learn something new every video I watch. You are so informational and a joy to watch 😊

It is our pleasure to share our videos and adventures with you.

They are incredible creatures. 👍🏻

i love you for so many reasons. live long and prosper.

please

Thank you for the kind comment. I am glad you enjoy the videos and have a great day. 😊👍🏻

The best kind of justice. 🤣

It would be nice to find them & show their hull a cordless drill.

@@georgebowden6748- I like your thinking!

It’s the only way that this remains viable for when James is old enough.

Any time Mike. 👍🏻

It’s disappointing about society when things like this happen isn’t it. I hope you are well mate and take care. 😊👍🏻🦀

That’s the plan.

They won’t stop us mate. 😉🦀🦞

I am glad that you enjoy joining us on our adventures Brian. Take care mate and stay safe. 😊👍🏻

These things have a way of balancing out mate. 👍🏻

Take care bud. 👍🏻🦀🦞

Thank you so much. I am glad that you enjoy joining us. 😊🦀🦞

Make them walk the plank.

Haha. They love it. 🤣🦀

I am simply sharing what I love doing in the hope it helps folks somehow. 😊👍🏻

A winch and hauler would ruin the boat and it’s balance. It’s a fishing boat I work pots from. Not a potting boat that I fish from. 😉

Thank you.

I was thinking hand grenade, but ink works too.

Ooow, cockles and Samphire. 👌🏻

Yeh the Norfolk coast is brilliant for prawns as well. My uncle used too take me and my brother shellfish fishing when we were kids and we used too catch loads. Not sure what it’s like now though..

When I can I will. 👍🏻🎣

That’s a very good way of looking at it mate.

A couple of incediaries would work better. 🤣

Video inbound. 😉🦀🦀🦀

That is wonderful, I am happy to share what I know with you guys. 🦀🦞🎣

Cheers Steve. 😊👍🏻

Scumbags. 🤷🏻‍♂️😡

I’m glad that you enjoy joining us Julie. Have a lovely day. 🦀🦞

Cheers Lee.

Thank you very much. If we do catch the offenders and get it on camera you guys will see it.

@@TheFishLocker then you will have all of us as whitnesses a camera works wonders can’t wait for you’re next outing ☺️🥰❤️

Thank you Raymond 😊👍🏻

Not about to let some shit head ruin my day mate. 😉🦀

My pleasure mate. 👍🏻🦞

Thank you.

Thank you Nick. 😊👍🏻

There is no point letting some low life like that spoil your day.

@@TheFishLocker ...it's also what the editing room is for. Those people make my blood boil.

Thank you Judy. 😊🦀🦞

I am glad that you enjoy our videos. 😊

We don’t

Good for you Ric, it is a wonderful thing to be able to share that type of knowledge with someone.

😬🦀🦞👍🏻

My pleasure Bill.

Thank you Graham. 😊👍🏻

Thank you. 😊

If you see me out and about be sure to say hello. 😊👍🏻

Will do for sure 👍

I am glad that you enjoy joining us Jay. 😊👍🏻

I’ll have a think on how we can do that.

It is worst during tourist season, but this is locals.

You are always welcome Cindy. 😊🦀🦞

It’s a small community around here. They’ll get found out.

Aye you’re right mate.

That would be such a shame.

Is it just luck, or the lack of it, or something more malign. It was the same string of pots both times.

I just read that today too. Good that they are being proactive like that.

That’s a shame too hear their numbers are down. Especially for the Alaskan folk where fishing is a way of life for many..

Sadly they are JJ. It’s just the world we live in.

It is our pleasure. 😊🦀🦞

A pot watch with a rifle. 👍🏻👍🏻

Video now live. 👍🏻🦀

Haha. “Weeeee…… splosh”

Oh yeah, they pack a mean pinch even when they’re small. 🤣🦀

Haha. That would be good justice.

💪🏻

That’s so sweet. 😊

Thank you.

We are all just waiting on the weather.

Well I heard Spargo's kitchen is always open... 😅

Is there enough good weather time for another beach campout with James too?

Wait and see.

It’s a small community around here. People get found out soon enough. 😉

Nod nod wink wink. 😉👍🏻

Thank you very much. I am really happy that the videos have been helpful to you.

Enjoy. 😊👍🏻🦀

@@TheFishLocker put a go-pro on trap and you'll know exactly who's the thief

@@SD-li9g As long as they don't steal the Go-pro...

@@CJA150179 they will know as soon as they pull up theyve been seen

Haha. 🦞

Thanks Jon.

It’s frustrating but they won’t stop me doing what I love.

Thank you. 😊🦀👍🏻

I am sure of it.

It is our pleasure Julie. We are simply sharing what we love doing. 😊🦀

No point letting some A hole ruin my day is there. 😊👍🏻🦀

Haha. Well done. 👍🏻

Jim is wonderful isn’t he. 😊

And what happens when they pull it up and take the GoPro? Come on Dom, use your noodle. 😉

@@TheFishLocker free gopro for the thieves lmao

@@TheFishLocker I think a grenade disguised as a crustacean would be the way forward.

It wouldn’t stop them and unless they were stolen and I found them in their van it wouldn’t catch anyone.

Lace a small part the rope with razor blades or fish hooks that will teach the bastards a lesson ,, if farmers can use barbed wire on fences to protect themselves and their work ..

@Andy Johnson i was thinking this but if they are scummy enough to take crabs and lobsters then itd be like a lottery win finding a £200+ camera in a pot!

A ring doorbell on the pots !! That’s what you need

@@mattanstis9227 imagine it every time a conger tries getting the crabs out the pots, "motion detected at the front door" every 5 minutes while John is trying to get a kip 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

Frustrating isn’t it.

Me too.

Sadly Tracy they are in every walk of life.

😉🦀

I have a feeling it would only incriminate me.

Hopefully we don’t see them again.

They are coming in soon so it doesn’t matter.

Thank you sir. 😊🦀
