- A lot of people have been asking for a Pollack catch and cook video. We have 2 on the channel showing 3 brilliant easy ways to cook Pollack. 😊🎣🐟🍽 - Check below in the comments -

Some serious amounts of pollock there and some cracking fish, great video 👍👍

Great session with lots of action. Nice catch & release lesson for those new to the sport. I have to ask though...why no net? Wouldn't it have been safer and easier on the gear...and the fish? Not being critical, just curious :-)

Hi John. I found your channel a few weeks ago. You reignited my passion for fishing and snorkeling. Also really helped me get the wife and the kids foraging and camping. Can't thank you enough. 👍

Hi John, smashing days fishing thanks for sharing. Couldnt make out what rod/reel combo you mentioned, could you let me know please?

Why not keep one or two there good eating aren't they

Why do you keep throwing these fish back. Are they not fit to eat?

Is that this time of year John or earlier in year great vid keep them coming mate 👍👍from liverpool

You are a proper fish magnet mate, well done! another great video 👍

john what make ,type ,and size is your life jacket please

What a cracking rock mark that is! It is so much fun to catch on a lure! didn't want to blink my eyes :) , really enjoyed every second of it, shame we have nothing like that mark near by, will definitely put more efforts to lure fishing next summer. Thanks for sharing John tight lines

Cracking video mate. Nice to see alot of good quality fish , little bonus wrasse was cool to . If i was there i would of tried one of those Craws just to see if i can catch a fish one.

OMG a landing net would have been soo much safer. FAB session

Really great show you put on John, with the Pollock. I would have thought you would at least bring one home so we could see your wife prepare a proper basket of beer battered fish and chips! I'm guessing the seals spot you on the shore and know that you will catch them a free lunch? Great video, and I enjoy them all. You are a great family man. I'm in land locked Oklahoma USA.

Lure fishing for good sized Pollock off the shore....doesn't get much better than that 😁

That was quality sesh , Was the edge of spot you both were at not slimey from the wash of the water ? , must have superglue footwear !. The lure that was damaged , Eel lure i have encured the same damage i just used superglue to fix it . And that spot looks like it's partial to whirlpools . .

HOPE IS OTHER VIDEO HOW YOU COOK .N STAB N TAKE GUTS OUT N BUTCHER. N BURN EAT N ENJOY THAT FISH 💪

Bloomin heck, that's a session and a half!! Can I ask you what knot you use to attach braid to flouro? I use the Bimini twist, as that is what I got shown a couple of years back! Any other tried and tested knots would be greatfully feveived, thanks.

Were getting some nice cod out of the mersey now just got to get through the Whiting first 👍🎣🎣

Where can I get one of those waist hand towel things? They look amazing!?!

Great size Pollack! Im guessing this is in the north of the UK?

What a fantastic day you had mate. Seemed like you couldn't miss. Good to know that biggish fish can be caught so close to the shore. I guess it's all about knowing the best marks. Hard to find the best ones but I need to do more discovering of my own. From what I've heard so far though, the best marks are in mostly dangerous areas.We are experiencing fires at the moment and I'm a tad distracted form how things are going down the coast. Our next camping day was not far away but will probably have to cancel it because of the air quality. There is a strong smell of burning outside and there's a haze with visibility down to maybe half a kl . Still, a fire would not stop me watching your videos. Looking forward to the next one John. Have a great day.

Hello boys, nice fishing there. may I ask where are you fishing? Greeting

That is the best off the rocks fishing video put on RU-vid well done !

Think the closest mark round here like that is Dunstanburgh Castle.... So if your video is anything to go by, I must get up there and try it!! 😄

Great video as always! Would it be possible to do a video on how to find good shore fishing spots. Maybe using Google maps or things to look out for in general. I live well inland but I like to go fishing when i am by the coast, but I always end up having to fish on really busy piers or harbours because I can't find any good shore marks. Thank you 🙂👍

Top UK shore fishing quality fish you should try out the storm 360 gt biscay minnows and shads in the mullet colour they go up to 60g and the Savage gear tpe 3d shad it's almost indestructible I have been smashing the bass and pollock on these from the boat.

Magnificent session John - you & Tom had some fantastic Pollock there! The Cuckoo Wrasse was beautiful too! I've got a 10ft spinning rod & reel, bought some of those Sidewinder Eels after you recommended them in a previous video, so now all I need is a decent Rock mark and for my health to improve a bit! Tight lines mate.

Good morning Mr.JOHN, GREAT VÍDEOS SPECIALLY WHEN SHOWING YUOR SON, PAPA'S BIG PASSION. SOMETHING I NEVER DID WITH MY FATHER AND ALWAYS WANTED TO DO SO, KINDA LATE NOW. GREAT TO SEE YUO ARE DOING SO. GREETINGS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS , FROM PALM SPRING, CALIFORNIA.

28 jealous anglers hitting the dislike button 😂

Great session John. Loved this video. Some lovely fish, all a good size. Great lures, well worth the few pounds for them. Like you say a longer rod would have helped for getting around the kelp field. Nice tip on returning them to the sea, head first . Cheers buddy!🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣🐟

Bloody hell,that was some great fishing and some fine Pollock!! Great to see the tackle and techniques,well done lads. Good to see you having your life jacket on John! Have often found that smaller fish can be up near the surface close in.... but never thought of using a popper.....now I will,thanks for that. Keep up the great work and stay safe. 🎣🦖

Another gread vid, John! When you put your fingers under their gill cover, is that dangerous for the fish, or for your fingers? Are there any fish that you shouldn't do that with? Also, I like how you called the seal "the tax man". That's funny!

Cracking session John and buddy well done .

Is this down south or up north?..cracking session 👍

Great video! Came across the channel last week, it’s been really informative. Got my first ever spinning session coming up next week in North Cornwall off the rocks and piers with my son who’s new to fishing and I want to get him hooked (not literally 🤣) - any further advice for a complete spinning rookie?

Great video their John so nice fish out there can't go wrong looks very tasty they do looks like a great spot you've got plenty

The fish are so prolific. I watch the guys fishing off Hornsea beach near me and they are lucky to catch a couple of small codling in a session.

Amazing vid, very nice and super location. keep those vids coming

Good vid mate, quality pollock... there's a mean swell of tide there, cracking mark... 👍

You guys hammered it !. Terrific Pollack. Nice one. 👍

We find our Pollack's the old fashioned way: in the pub, stone cold drunk, at the end of the bar! 😁

Another solid, informative video and beautiful fish. A smashing job y’all 👍🏻

Hi John just one questions do you use a leader when fishing for pollock?

good video looks like you both had a great day , where in the uk do you live ?

Christ I love these videos. I'll lend you my 11inch pliers 😁

12:20 ....when ya mate pierces ya ear on tour! escapology finesse applied man skills ! ;-) Fat content vid as per usual mate... quality fish on repeat... ridiculous!.. find with these vids if i watch them late i'm eating tins of sardines at 3/4am!

Do you reccomend the 4 inch skerries or 6inch for shore and kayak fishing?

Never seen so many quality fish John and that rod of yours as plenty of beef down the bottom no problem with them.. Thanks for sharing

Do we get many marks as deep as this on the south coast ?

What great action! Nice vid. John Glad to see you wearing a life jacket too. That swell looks mental

Looks like the sleeping warrior in the back ground 😂

Great day's fishing. Interesting you mentioned that a longer rod would have given you a bit more control. I have always preferred a rod of 10' or 11' long. The great Bass angler ED SCHILIFFKE designed the famous 'Rock Hopper' 11' Normak rod in the 80s. But these days top end spinning rods are mostly 7' to 9' in length (influenced by French boat anglers). Do you agree?

Nice to see poppy being worn with pride 👍

stunning fish chaps cracking place for them too

What a lot of Pollocks. :P

why dont u take some home to cook

Well done for wearing a life jacket that's very sensible

Stunning location...great fishing and good company...Well done both of you.

Nearly time to repeat this session? 😋

John where did you get that waist towel. I want one. GREAT vid as always mate

How can you get thumbs down for a vid like this . Epic fishing.

awesome vid and catches john loved the vid

How deep were you fishing??

I love your videos John. You are the modern-day Jaack Hargreaves/ John Wilson but fishing at sea. I have never seen such informative and entertaining RU-vid videos. You are a good presenter and very likeable. Been looking for a mullet video - will keep searching. All the best from Kent.

hi all..how are you..i hope you guys ok ...we from indonesia

Awesome👍 I caught a 4lb pollack on the isle of scilly nothing to the fish you caught have you tried the savage gear sand eel It is a quick sinker and bass love it to I have also tried the needle fish lure which I can’t remember it’s name it’s made by savage Gear it about £7 but is worth it

Great to see the poppy!

What a cracking session John, like shelling peas some beautiful looking fish from a shore mark, them lures took a real bashing well done

wow . luckly day for you guys . btw who is another guy ?

I'm going wrasse fishing today and i'm going to try to use your tactics to see if they work down here in Tasmania (we have blue throat wrasse, crimson band wrasse and some other ones i cant identify. Great video, Keep fishing. question: do pollack have teeth? 23:09 that sound.

Where is this location?

haha found the mark ;) dont worry wont tell! took a bit of digging into but found it :) its a wonderful place and many excellent marks to fish from!

Where is this? Not a Cornish coast

John many thanks for your great videos (editing) and the knowledge you shared with us throughout 2019. Highlight for me were those two tuna you caught and released, unbelievable! Wishing you, your good lady and Fish Locker junior a very Merry Christmas and a great 2020. Junior will be wanting his own boat soon 😂🚤🎣🎅🏻⚓️🎄🎥🐟🎣

What rod are you using? Cheers

Nice Fish, Butt I'd Be Throwin Them In Some Beer Batter, Hot Oil w/Chips & Cole-Slaw Mate!!! LOL Thanks

Great sesh mate, guessing this was when you were up north on the same trip as the skate vid as that deffo not a Cornish backdrop. 😂🤣😂👍👍🎣🎣🎣

Great stuff.Regulations tell us we must pinch the barb closed for salmon fishing here on westcoast Canada and I wonder if you have similar rule in fishing U.K.?? Makes release easier. CHEERS!!!

Great fishing. What time of day is best for saltwater fishing in the UK? Cheers

That’s some quality fishing! I’ve a mark I fish here in Northern Ireland and when it’s fishing well with the right tides it’s non stop!

Be handy to bring a net

Anything else living in that water im pollack out. 🤐

What an amazing mark, and long way from home for you! I do enjoy catching pollack on light gear, terrific sport. Wearing a lifejacket on the rocks and the way you treat the fish with so much respect makes you a great role model for anglers. Excellent video John, thanks, and please keep them coming. Tight lines!

Cracking fishing action. Love this video! Wish I could join you!

what a great video, i'm just heading to bed then up at 5am for a 3hr drive to somewhere on the scottish west coast 🤫 for a 9 hr session with pollack, the deep mark i fish does very well at low tide as it turns and starts to come in. Your fish were pristine and in great condition, lovely looking mark that one 👍

"Talkin' Pollacks..Big time UK" ...alternative titles ;-) ... probably don't show Mrs Fish locker that one! Crazy good vid mate... Needed a doggy and it would have been the "Dogs Pollacks" ;-) ..Great to know that fishing is still out there man

Cracking video, would love to catch some of these I'm new to fishing. Just been in Anglesey over the week, caught plenty of mackerel and wrasse, where abort's is this location mate?

Excellent watch John, wherever that is, it has a fabulous amount of hard fighting Pollock, and not at all surprised it's kept close to you and your friends.

Lovely bit of pollock fishing there mate. Pollock are great craic on light gear. Love catching them on a heavy version of the drop shot rig, like used by perch and freshwater bass anglers, with soft plastics and an offset hook. Great over rough ground as the lead is the only thing that can get snagged

What great fishing...

Back here again for the 3rd time😂😂 Attempting more sea fishing now so just picked up myself a nice 9ft light weight I think GX2 Ugly Stik and after this video just ordered 3-4 different packs of sidewinder lures really hope they work cause F*ckall else seems to be working in the waters at mine

just earned a new sub, know nothing bout sea fishing and bought some sidewinder lures to use purely from watching this vid, 5 casts in and caught the biggest fish i have ever had, nice pollok, amazing man looking to get out much more to the coast with lures now,

Some cracking pollack off the rocks. Looks great funnnn. all the best. 🤙🏼🤙🏼👍🏻.

Great video i just started the lrf this year had nothing big but loads of fun on light gear

Pollack fishing was so good...I felt bad because no dog fish were caught 😉! Great video, I'm totally "hooked" on ur channel. Tight Lines!

Just got a baitcast rod and reel for spinning what line would u advise to use braid or fluorocarbon and what lb for spinning round rocks

I love how pollock just hit your lure its an awsome fealing cracking days fishing as always from your show Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄🎣😁✌️

Is it possible to catch with 20lb mono leader instead of fluorocarbon or do the fish get put off seeing mono in the water?
