Sea Fishing Cornwall - Plaice, Ray and More | The Fish Locker 

- Here is Mrs Fishlockers delicious catch and cook video of the Plaice 😊🐟🍽 m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GuI3uWqJMBM.html

Thank you for another stunning video! Yet again, memories have been stirred. Dad had a friend at work who had a small boat in Exmouth (we lived in east Devon). He often gave Dad mackerel that was excess to his need. One day he brought an old fertiliser sack to work, containing 3 large dog fish. He thought they'd make a good meal for my family (there were 7 of us including Mum and Dad.) He was right - but first came the task of skinning the fish - as you'll know, the skin is like sandpaper. Pliers, vice grips, even nailing them to a door lintel to gain a decent grip - it took hours to prepare them for cooking. It was so amusing that my eldest brother drew a cartoon of the activity and Mum wrote a poem, both of which were published in the Farmers Weekly a short time later! I know we all enjoyed the end result and Dad found a faster and easier way to skin them, so whenever his friend caught them, we received the means of making a heap of fish and chips for dinner! Gosh, that was a long time ago now! Happy memories, though! I wouldn't alter any aspect of my childhood and appreciate your bringing memories back for me to enjoy! Thanks, John and family! xx

I just love watching the older videos as well my target species for 2022

How is it that you know so much about different fish, crawly things and sea grasses etc. You are so young to know all this info. I watch you in amazement all the time.

Hey john you were certainly in the right plaice today good variety good work 👍🏻🇬🇧

I love cathing Plaice. I've had days where I have caught over 100 plaice here in Denmark. Plaice are so simple to catch, and they are delicious. :)

Hi fish locker family top job as always really enjoy watching you guys

How many guys can say they’ve had a beautiful blond on each arm! 😄well done.

Thanks for another great vid John.....best wishes to all.....Bob (IOW)

That was really good to see, getting them rays revived, respect, 🙌👌

I agree with Hanna and your father in law. Love all flat fish but plaice is definitely top of my "to eat" list. 🤤 👍

It’s great to see your channel growing! You’ve always had great quality fishing and foraging videos 👍

Cleaning house as always! Nice work!!!

Love how you call her miss fish locker 😂👍🏻

Haha the dogfish :P Cheers Fish Locker, another great video ;)

All I can say is that you and your family are exceptionally beautiful, awesome and fantastic. I’m jealous of your life and your excellent videos. God bless you and all your loved ones.

The first seafish I ever caught was a small plaice on a handline from Blackpool North Pier jetty 60 + years ago !! I shared it with my grandma. Gurnard is a lovely eating fish, my grandad used to buy them for me from Warrington Market . Thank you for the memories!

The pissed off look on your face when you get a dog fish 🤣🤣🤣

Oh how I love fried plaice! Some people say they are smelly and they sure do have a specific smell but I think it's not that bad actually. When my mum was young she was a member of a diving club called Atlantis. About 30 years ago she went diving in the sea of Japan with her crew. They were also fishing and she would always tell me how enormously much plaice they had caught. That fish was an everyday meal for them. Also, that's where she met my father, he was the instructor guy:) This video brought back some of my memories and those are the good ones, indeed. Cheers!

some nice plaice there john keep up the good work

Hii, fish locker family, your video makes me tension free in corona pendamic, thank you.

Great video! I loved the one where you went scuba diving and caught the two spider crabs as well. Thanks to you and the lovely Mrs. fish Locker for sharing your fishing excursion!

I love the face you pull when you get a dog lol

Beautiful! Beautiful! Video! So relaxing to watch! Unfortunately I was rushed to the hospital and your video helped me relax at get some sleep! It is so scary being in the hospital at this time! So I really appreciate watching you! Loved it! As always, thank you! Queen A.K.A.MISTY

I really love the way you respect nature and environment for your responsible catches!!!! Bravo

Fantastic, I’d never heard of a blonde ray before! Looking forward to learning how to fillet a Plaice! Thanks to you both.

What a cracking days fishing. 😊👍I think I counted 8 species including the 'Baby Kraken🐙' and if you caught the Launce on the way out, that makes 9.😊 Those Plaice were fine looking fish and one of the tastiest too. I just like them pan fried with chunky chips and minted peas. My first ever sea fish age 6/7 was a 12oz Plaice caught on one of those old wooden hand lines with the orange nylon line, a watch lead and about 2 ft of mono, rag worm on a size 6ish hook. It's amazing how much you remember about your first fish. That old hand line hung in my Dad's shed for years lol. I caught it in the Looe River and my Nan cooked it for me. It tasted amazing and I'd caught it. 😁. Ps those Blonde Ray's really made the trip perfect. Thanks as always for sharing your amazing adventures with us John and it's great to see Lizzy out in the boat with you. 🐟🎣 👍😊.

Lovely. Thanks for the trip. Those Plaise were beautiful. Never seen one before. Actually never heard of one. Beautiful day. Stay well and keep sharing. Look forward to every video.

Here in North Carolina we have a fish called the Sommer Flounder that looks alot like the fish you caught. They don't have the orange spots. They like to ambush bait fish in the shallows. They cover themselves with sand for camoflage. We use lights and gig poles to catch them. We pole our boats in the shallows looking for their glowing eyes.

Wonderful, like your videos , greatings from the Netherlands

As always, it's great to see you out on the boat, though I have to confess I love all of your videos, John. Good also to see Lizzie out for a while, I hope she enjoyed herself. Have a 'Fantastic' (word of the day) week, and all the best from Surrey. 🎣🐬

what a beautiful day John and what a beautiful daughter you have she looks so much like Hannah... when you mention the dogfish donut we just started laughing.... have a wonderful meal with those fish you caught... they look like flounder.

Top man John .... Really enjoy your videos Carry on mate 👍

You have beautiful fish. Some I've never heard of, since watching you. Good to see your beautiful daughter with you this time. Thank you for sharing. Love your video's. Stay safe and healthy.

So jealous man. Going fishing for the first time this weekend in galway Bay. Hope I've as much luck as you. Great tips, great videos! Can't wait till saturday

i love seeing how different each fish’s colours are! no matter if we’ve seen one before, but their colours can be so intensely different. even with the rays! and the sweet lil crab missing their arm, we saw walking along the seabed straight for the camera ahaha. 🥺🦀

When I was working at a factory in London, I got the phone number of a fishmonger at Billingsgate Fish Market and told my colleague, a chap from Uganda who loved having a laugh, that a man called Arthur Gurnard phoned whilst he was away from his post and could he ring him back urgently. He phoned the number and asked for Arthur Gurnard ('alf a Gurnard) The fishmonger replied, "That's a fish" and after a while, put the phone down. My colleague was by now (still not realising it was a joke) adamant he wanted to speak to Arthur Gurnard and phoned him back again. It was only after the fishmonger hung up a second time that I told him it was a windup! 😂

I always enjoy your videos. Good job.

What a beautiful day, we could do with a few more of them !

Thanks John .I do hope one day I see you out there as im still to catch a bass ..been about 7 years trying ....only caught one pollark and some mac ...but will keep going ..you give me hope and lessons

You might be able to catch these in Cornwall but not in the Isles of Scilly! All we get here is pollock, the last bass was caught 27 years ago. I catch hundreds of pollock and on average i catch 1 coaly and 1 pouting a year. However, we did catch our first cod this year a few weeks ago! Love watching the videos, them make me very jealous!

OOOOOOOH you lucky lucky lucky locker.... What a (nother) great video. Fabulous fish and genuinely great to see those two big girls going back. Had crabcakes tonight too...which was nice. Cheers buddy.

I bought some expensive (for me) Shimano rod and reel for fishing but our covid lockdown was during our summer so i never got to use it but damn your show is entertaining as hell.I love the variety of fish you catch and your knowledge on them makes it all the much better.But I have two questions..you've caught a lot of wrasse in your last few shows but put them back,are they not good eating? And secondly at 5.32 in the video,in the water near your elbow,is that a jellyfish or some plastic bag floating? Btw you deserve WAYYY more subs for your show.

Yes I was absolutely a beautiful day. Thank you for sharing.

Full of knowledge.... So very well mannered... Take everything in your stride John and nothings a problem.....so clear to see why you're doing so well on your channel..... And a big very well done to your daughter was it today in the video... For assisting you in getting some great footage as per.... Take care mate

Oh yeah beautiful weather nice catches

Sir you, your wife & the cute boy are such sweet, polite, caring people & I so much enjoy your videos allowing an escape from todays troubled world...thank you from the bottom of my heart

Plaice is my fathers favourite, love taking one back for him

Wonderful video! Keep up the great work!

that's a great session, some great fishing down there, nice one 👍🎣

The quality of the photographic images is very good.

An other lovely day. Wish we could get more like that in Sussex. Nice one John.

I recently discovered your channel and have been engrossed since! Very knowledgable and informative. Our boat will be ready to fish in the next few days so we’ve found some of your small boat videos very helpful great content all round. Hopefully we are ready to make the most of this wonderful weather! Keep up the great content

Another cracking video. You have cought more species of fish in one day than I have cought in my life. 🤣 Can we see more of the Gopro on the sea bed please. 👌 Glad you said you are going to do a catch and cook with the plaice at the end. I cant wait 😋😋🤤🤤

2 cracking rays excellent day fishing

Fantastic Mr locker knocks the spots off the rest 👍 and a brace of blondes to top it off, as for those Gurnard they are a tropical looking delight . I thought those dogs looked pretty cool as well the look of delight on your face when they came aboard was a treat to see 🙄🤬😂 you’ve certainly had your fair share of late ....... time to change your after shave perhaps 🤷🏻‍♂️😉 ... oh ! and the sound that first octopus made made me snigger, I’ll leave it there 👍 thanks for sharing

Today is my birthday, so this makes me happy to watch

Great video John! Really enjoyed it! 😁

Miss fish locker doesn’t look to happy today

Great video again and love the variety of fish you have down there in inshore waters. Having a great Plaice season ourselves here in Sussex. Best rig for us by far here is a metal lure, like a Dexter Wedge, and then say 10cm of line to hook and no weight at all. Out fishing beaded hooks by 5:1

I'm living vicariously through those seagulls that are eyeing up your dinner! 😊

Nice productive session and video as always John. Saw the Plaice colouration is a bit different than here in south coast. Definitely your area they are more pronounced. I had few trips recently to Bexhill East Sussex catching nice amount of them plus so much more Bass. Thanks again and good to watch you and your family on the water David

Miss Fish Locker looks so much like mum, where as Fish Locker Junior is a spit image of you buddy, great video, keep them coming, stay safe !!!

Super smashing great well done

We call that flat fish Flounder, it's so tasty!

id call that a good days fishing and a nice bit of plaice for tea nice one John

7:40 Oh, an Octopus! I really like them as well. I loved watching them at the aquarium during feeding time. I actually paid for an octopus adventure and got to feed one myself. Not sure if I shared the video or not on my channel. Octopus share a curious distinction with me. I usually don't like to eat my favorite sea creatures, but I'd have to say octopus are easily my #3 favorite sea creature, but I also like to eat them. Octopus sashimi is AWESOME when it's sliced right.

Just wish the fishing down here was as productive....great vid mate

Continue to watch and love this channel. Great day of fishing!!! We have a similar species of fish here on the Gulf Coast. It's called a flounder. Looks very much the same, but without the orange spots. Best eating fish in my opinion. Lovely white flaky meat. You are making me hungry !!!

We call them flounders and great eating down here in southwest Florida

Nice vid mate, some belting fish. I caught a plaice with 1 hand at Glasson dock, i noticed it blended in to the rocks near the side. I grabbed it's tail and pulled it out, was similar size to that last one you had.. Could'nt believe it.

hell yeah.. nice work.. we have deepwater flatfish here too .. nobody bothers to fish for them though.. nice work..

Plaice we dnt have them here. Mainly tropical fish from where I am and seeing the fishes you got is quite amazing and yes enjoyed your videoooo.

a nice mixed bag mr locker

You spawning bugger I had to gan back to work today brilliant pal

Thanks you very much and you are prefect thanks again

Great tips, great videos!

well done both, looking at the gopro footage your beaded rig was rearing up off the bottom, it looked quite lifelike and it reminded me of a sandeel popping its head out of the sand,

We also call the flat 3 fish that you got flounder or fluke but the orange dots we don't have

That crab went right for the camera huh

Flatfish are my favorite to catch. One of my bucket list things to do is go to Alaska and catch a halibut.

Great job, beautiful Plaice. Would appreciate a video of you filleting Plaice sometime if it suits you. Thanks

Another great video guys, I really struggle unhooking plaice, all other fish I'm ok but could you advise on the best disgorger or technique so the smaller fish go back alive and healthy, ow I have my flights from Dubai back home to Morecambe yipppeeee, boat launching and away fishing in July, 5 month trip offshore has taken it's toll LOL but your videos have been a blessing. Grahame

I eat pollock courtesy of Mrs. Paul. (frozen fish sticks) Enjoyable video.

Amazing fishing at the moment. I am very jealous of the plaice nothing like that so far in Norfolk. Although the bass have been in recently and had a cracking few days with plenty of plus legal size fish.

Love that fish😜

Nice flounders! Good eating

Just watched the catch and cook dog fish John, nice filleting by the way, and Mrs fish locker is a good cook aswell, 🙌👍

well done mate,if they ever let us out over here i'm going to have a try for a plaice on one of the rods.but all the while that 2 metre thing is on i can't see it happening.

Have you tried using a Gopro for your head so you can also show what you see when you're reeling them in as a second shot?

Hi John, great video, thank you. Will you be doing a catch and cook with a plaice? The reason I ask is when I clean a plaice there’s a black line, like a tube running below the stomach cavity that’s hard to get to, I wondered what it is, is there an easy way to get it out without ruining the fish or do I just leave it? Thanks again...Mike

John what is your favourite way to fish for bass?

Another good video. Have you done a video on the rods and reels you use on the boat as they look like they have a good action ? Cheers

Wonderful, thank you

Some cracking plaice them

Another brilliant session mate , very nice flat fishes. Will this method work from the shore ?

Beautiful plaice. Used to drive across to Edinburgh area, when I lived in Glasgow, to fish Musselburgh Flats for plaice. Amazing! They were filling in an area for landfill and they were catching record after record plaice. Not I, but memorable times. All gone now, sadly. Enjoyed that session.

caught an octopus on south shields pear years ago an its webs for its tentacles held lots of water it was heavy

This is so satisfying.....
