How to Find the best fishing Spot - How to lure fish from the shore!! 

- I hope this video has been helpful for people. I have also included links in the description to the tackle I use in this video. Tight lines everyone. 😊👍🏻🎣

This guy needs a show on the Discovery Channel.

Good morning from our farm in New Hampshire. Thanks for this video. New Hampshire has 13 miles of Atlantic coastline. There is some good fishing. The Bluefish run rich along the shoreline, but I refuse to fish for anything that requires a steel leader. I'm a girl and an artist. The thought of wounding fingers is forefront. So my friends share their Bluefish catch with me. Not everyone likes it. I will partake if the fish is fresher than two days and has that dark strip removed. Then its on the grille and brilliant! Same for mackerel. I used to enjoy grilled shark, but we no longer eat shark or any dense fish ( mercury) So yellow fin or small tuna is ok for me. We enjoyed all fish when I was young. My Gram would go to the fish market and purchase a 10lb whole Haddock to bake. Also a good amount of lovely shucked oysters for oyster stew. Thanks again for taking us along for shore fishing! We live in the Central Lakes Region, less than two hours from the 🌊 ocean. We shut down our 350 acre farm in March 2020 to the public because of the virus and continue to be shut down, only open for customers > Hereford breeding stock > hay > logging. My Jim & I bought a small camper last summer and actually made it to the beaches ⛵⛵ in Rye/Portsmouth and North Hampton for ran overnight. It was balmy late September and wonderful! If you have an email address I would be happy to send you photos of our farm and coastline. ~ Diane

I love the care you take when unhooking and returning fish. Also nipping down your barbs and replacing trebles with single hooks where practical. It's not only kinder on the fish, but easier to unhook them. And if you've ever stuck yourself with a barbed hook, easier to unhook yourself too.

When covid is over you should come to Ardmore, in Ireland. Beautiful fishing village with lots of fish.

Fantastic and very interesting.I didn’t realise how much legwork you put into your sport ,but it gives a good dividend to you or at least today did .please keep them coming .

lots of people would not beleave our seas hold such stunning fish

I love your channel and TA fishing, you and the guy from TA work hard at putting out excellent fishing and forging videos, I’d love to go fishing with either one of you , but I just found a RU-vid channel and the man catches a lot of fish , but I would never take him up on an offer to go fishing , all’s I’ll say is he goes the extra mile, Gudio’s land based Fishing adventures , this Aussie is something else, you and yours stay safe

Hello John Good to see you and your nice clip. ❤️ from Iran 🇮🇷

Just found your channel and im addicted!! absolutely superb! incredibly informative! thank you

Wow John you found a great spot to fish! Man you really know your stuff for sure. Nice fish John and good to see you again.

Another crackin' video John, thank you, very informative and educational, every day is a school day, have learned a bit more today, can't wait to get out myself BZ

Next time I'm down there I will be cracking out the soft plastics, it's definitely worth a trip back in the summer had one of my best sessions there few years back low tide 😉🐟🎣👍

Another cracking video, you never stop learning new things, so I'll be taking some of your ideas with me, the next time I go off to rocks, best get some bright wiggly things 😂😂😂

Brilliant Stuff! This year I´m ready for my summer vacation in France (Brittany)! Thanks a lot

Beautiful wrasse! Biggest I have ever seen! Those tips and tricks are so helpful even for the more experienced anglers! Thanks for the time you put into these videos!! :-)

Great video. Noticed the first fish looked like it had a V notch in its tail 🤷‍♂️. I always look forward to seeing another new video. As always perfect job.👍👍👍👍👍

Very useful to have a good ground up description of the techniques. Such beautiful fish too. Thank you for sharing.

Your right John they are the most gorgeous of fish 🐠

Those wrasse are beautiful, lockdown permitting I hope to catch my first one this year.

Brilliant video to help us all! Best wishes and keep safe.

Fantastic video. Very informative and a couple of stunning fish!

Great vid as usual, very informative. Keep up the good work buddy.

Cracking video and stunning fish as always mate 🎣🎣🎣

Thanks for the great video. Fantastic information for us beginners. I predict a massive influx of lure fishermen in the Trevose area come the end of lockdown 😂👍.

Stunning fish. Well played.

Wow...so much good information! I love the rigged up the lure to a kid hanging up in the weeds. Reckon that would work in the rocks too? I'm going to try it! Great video!

I often use soft rubber lures they are like a sandeel but with a curled red tail and I'll either put them on a jig head hook to save time or I'll just have them on a size 1 hook with about 3ft of line then a swivel and a 1oz barrel lead, I've been out using the latter and caught plenty of Pollack without having to change lures at all but some days go perfect other days I've gone snagged and lost gear on nearly every cast but it would be no fun if it was easy all the time hence the name fishing and not catching lol

Excellent tips and stunning Ballans.

Good advice re hooks, barbed trebles do a lot of damage

I use a spider hitch in areas like this. fairly snag resistant (I use bait though), with a piece of steel for weight. Chum is DEADLY in these spots, you can rile up a herd of panfish quick, if it's legal to do so...

Great video, I will be trying dropshotting. Cracking wrasse👍

Good video! I’ve been using bait for wrasse but will definitely try soft plastics now. One thing I have found is that if the Google Maps image of an area is poor then you can sometimes get a better image in Bing Maps.

Great vid John, thank you for sharing the valuable info 👍👍👍

Another class video John. Simple to follow and easy to copy instructions. I am too old for jumping about rocks or wading. Could I LRF with lures on a gently sloping beach? Thinking of tees Bay, Hartlepool area. Thanks for any advice. Wishing you, your family and all on here a safe journey through these terrible times. 😷👌👏👍

Great video and lovely looking wrasse. What rod are you using and what breaking strain is your fluoro leader?

This is huge, mate. Thanks

Love your videos mate 👍 great tips there I’ll be out looking for new marks very soon. I catch allot of wrasse up in Scotland but I’m yet to catch one on a lure but I’m pretty hopeful I’ll get some this year. Thanks for the tips 👍🎣

Great educational video. Makes a change from some of the garbage that is put on RU-vid in the name of ‘fishing’. Well done!

An interesting video. Thank you Fish Locker. Good youtube channel.

Fantastic - just need to convince the partner in the drone purchase . John says there key to success 😂

Hey fish locker love your vids big fan,just started fishing and I need to cast far from the rocks because of weeds ,can I add a ball weight in front of my spinners.???

Great video, very informative

Awesome video, thanks!

When you think yeah am going to make a rig like that... Open your lure box.....the two colours you used.. Is the only 2 colours that i didn't have...😂🎣

now thats a proper rass

Really original John top job

Hey John as always super good video. I'm learning loads as a beginner! I do have a question tho in regards to your life vest... do they have a different kind of name? Or do you have a recommendation? As all I can find are heavy duty ones for sports and I'd like to keep my kit light come the chance to rock fish. Thanks in advance mate

Realy nice looking fish is it good for the table and leagal to catch and remove

this guy is amazing ... @thefishlocker learned so much ...

SO thorough FL! PREP. Prep. Prep. A OK!

John, can I use a lure in a fresh water lake? There is a selection of fish, but mainly Carp. If so can you give me a tip on what kind of lure I should use,. Thanks,.

have you eaten a wrasse... just think some chips with that great fish...mmmmmmmmmm yummmmmy..lol hahahahahhaha great vlog

Boss vid mate what is the symbol that shows fast flowing water on navionics mate is it like a wave symbol Ta jimmy

Subbed🤝 Very nice Channel.. Love it Outstanding Fish! Best Regrets from Germany

Great video as always! I have a question, I noticed you fished the dropshot with the hook facing down. I've always had it facing up since that's how I was taught. Is there a reason you have it downwards? Do you find it makes a difference? Thanks for making the best fishing content on youtube.

Dumb question from me..... could you use a bucket with a rope and fill it with water to recover and instead of returning by hand, dump the whole bucket.... the initial water would break the surface tension and the fish in the last 1/3 of the water would be fine yes? Or no?

Excellent

Nice one john😆

Hi is 15lb OK to use i ordered that line on the link for making rigs. Thanks for video very helpful 😊

Great chanel! Take my hat off to u sir! :)

From indonesia pesent. Greetings a hobby.

i know there is strict limits on bass where i live (couple of years ago i'm sure they were 100% catch and return) what happens if they are (for whatever reason deep/foul hooked) unreturnable? just asking as i imagine if you can keep unreturnable fish unscrupilous people may abuse this :(

what tools do you use to watch the coast from height?

Now mate, not sure if you see comments on this video with it being old! Struggling to find accessable spots to spin for mackerel round Whitby. There's probably loads but I'm very new to this lol. Any general areas you could recommend ? (I presume you are Eve and miles brother btw)

super mate ✔✔✔✔✔✔

what rod is it your using looks like a penn

I'm a Carolina rig person myself ...

One of the very best on RU-vid period, very informative, family friendly, funny just what I need when I'm chilling out after a hard days work, best of wishes from Barcelona :)

Also glad to see recommending a lookout for random wave. even seasoned fisherman forget that. (Guilty myself)

Brilliant John, I really appreciate this for for us beginners.

My favourite channel on RU-vid, you don't know what a life saver to me you and Fish Locker family have become. I had an accident 9 weeks ago and remain in hospital, so when it's tough for me, you are a real comfort to watch, the St Michaels Mount video was a blessing. x

brilliant stuff as per always, thanks for the tip on naviotics save me going back years on google earth pro looking for low tide features :') stunning wrasse you deserved him for the video. keep it up mate

Brilliant wrasse John, love the colours, just wonderful. Great tips for cross checking depths and drop off’s . Thanks for this one mate, loved it. Graham 🎣🎣🎣

One of the best shore fishing tutorials I've seen. And those fish were so beautiful too. Thanks.

Never ever stop learning from your videos, from the programmes you use to locate areas to fish to the amount of prep you do. You also demonstrate the type of rigs you use and then go further by catching two of the most beautifully coloured wrasse I've ever seen. Great filming and as always thanks for posting.

The wrasse were special John, the colours even more so, I like the idea of putting lures into individual tubes as it prevents a treble hook nightmare, in the past I've hooked them on the inside of a bucket but as you say if it falls over you have lures all over the place, I'll have to come round to your way of doing things for a simpler life!! I use the I-Boating site for my recce homework which is similar to the Navionics chart viewer, I think they're indispensable for finding depths & potential places to fish, as ever great work!!

That's a great little mark. Good shout on the random wave thing. Father got 4 stitches in his leg at that exact mark after getting washed off back into a gully shore side. I was just a teenager then. First time I ever heard mother swear at Dad 😂

new to sea fishing and this is really helpfull (hoping to go to flamborough when covid lets me )!

Brilliant stuff. Just a matter of time before some TV channels approach you mate. Very well spoken, your engaging with the audience qualities are top draw and you have far too much to offer 👍

Wow John.....hello 😊 what a fantastic video and l do hope we can see more like this 👌 explaining the set ups,marks, sea depth and the rest has really been so helpfull...fantastic thank you. As for the fish lm thinking they must be the preetyist fish in our waters,the still picture at the end of that beautiful Wass was amazing....maybe you could put all the best together and make a 2022 calendar.....you can definitely put me down for one 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Love your videos, so professional, polished and informative. You have a lovely family, we share a few connections. I am ex RN, 30 years an RAF technician with a love for fishing and the outdoors. Although I fear I will never hold your expertise I endeavour to learn particularly from your excellent videos..... best wishes to you and your family.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but when I'm casting at 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9 O' Clock I get yelled at by complete strangers :)

got me looking back m8 a Ballen I caught of the brig at Filey chocolate brown with bright orange markings they do have some fantastic coloring don't they, not bad eating either

Love it when you go over what you can use and what you could catch, were I fish for mackerel I don’t need to see were birds or seals are birds sit on the wall opposite and resident seal Sammy watches you from the dock lol. That was stunning colours lovely fish big one can’t get over the colours. Good video please keep them coming. It’s great getting education as well I do appreciate the hard work into it, tight lines John

Another fabulous lesson and insight into lure fishing. Loved the info on the Navionics/ Google maps. Finally what cracking wrasse caught on the methods you showed us last night. Cheers mate it was a pleasure to watch.

That was brilliant mate great work really enjoyed this wish I was there giving it a go. The colour of them wrasse was amazing you would think they was fish of the great barrier reef!!!! Awesome vid as always mate cracking stuff. Tight lines and all the best 🎣🎣🎣

GREAT COLOURS ON THE WRASSE, CAUGHT MY FIRST WRASSE ON SOFT PLASTIC FROM THAT SPOT WAS TOLD ITS A GOOD MARK FOR DECENT POLLOCK HAD A FEW LRFING UP TO THE 2LB MARK

Extremely informative as always. I am an old farmer who has worn Wellingtons all his life (including through Australian and Portuguese summers) never boots, but the way you are so sure-footed on wet rocks makes me jealous. Do you have a favourite brand of Wellie, use studs of any sort, or just confident of keeping your grip?

Couple of absolute stunning wrasse there mate, Beautiful colouring on them. And I have to agree with one of the other comments. You really should be signed up by Discovery. 👍👍👍

Great advice, encouraged to do a spot of mark tracking along the south side, will defo be using the internet sites. Cheers John. Incredible Wrasse.

UKs No. 1 AMBASSADOR FOR ANGLING 👍 DA BEST!

you know what I have noticed about you, you always find the time to reply to everyone's comments 😎 it must take some dedication. It is a really rare thing to see this on your tube channels and I'm sure you subscribers including myself really appreciate the interaction with you.

Will definitely be tieing up some of those drop shot rigs,with various hook sizes,thanks John......and those were a couple of cracking Wrasse. 🎣🦖

Great video il be watching this a few more times to make sure i got everything.... thanks

During lock down videos like this are priceless! Great job Sir and I am looking forward to the next one!

Two absolutely beautiful Ballans. Well done buddy
