You have so much knowledge. Thank you for sharing how wreck fishing happens and how the fish act and how smart some of them are.
We have a ling on the table and some other fishes for food or bait for this episode. It's great to watch and I'm working on my filleting technique at home. I'm a little less scared of fish now (still scared for some species, but Ling aren't scary now, but watching the boat, the anchor information from your crab pot videos, and how you act smartly with the weather, it's is very nice to see one thinks through and how valuable these skills are.
Thanks again Uncle John. Take care, stay safe. Be warm. This was a nice episode, I think, got to study how the tides and wind treat boats. Got to study the clouds above you to look at where they move.
Thank you for sharing your time with us. I really do appreciate the time you spend teaching.

I think it's just as important to put up trips that don't always result in huge or lot's of fish, that's what it's like in reality ( although you obviously do a lot better than most of us: )
I think I may have asked before on another video but can't recall which one. Your fold away cover looks really neat, I've got a whole boat clip down one which is a pain and the worst bit of going out or finishing up. I suspect you're going to say it came with the boat like your nice bait tray but have you got any info on it? I'm looking just to cover the two exposed seats and consol ( boat's very similar to yours) and being able just to fold it up or down is very appealing.

Hello Mr Fishlocker, how are u doing. Been a while since we last spoke. But I've just heard something UNBELIEVABLE which I wondered if u know about? Did u know that the common rock Barnacle that we see growing in there millions on rocks, boats, whales, etc etc. Did u know they can also invade the human body! If a larvae got in a cut or anywhere leading to the bodies insides, they can attach to bone and live there very happily! I found this hard to believe at first so looked it up and yes it's true! UNBELIEVABLE. So have u heard that before?

Approx how far offshore were you, John?
I was worried about engine failure, but I guess, should the unthinkable happen, you-d be able to radio friends for assistance.
My Dad used to take us out in his 5-man dingy, around North Devon when we were young, and on our summer hols. He had one simple rule. If we couldn't easily row back to shore in event of the outboard going up it, we'd not be going there. Had sooooo much fun whipping the mackerel and pollack out on feathers.

Being offshore in a heavy swell isn't the nicest place to fish. I am amazed you hung in there in those conditions. On a different note, I'm a diver and I look at you fishing on a wreck from the fishes perspective, hiding amongst the wreckage watching and waiting for you're bait. I realise that the depth you were at is beyond the 50/60 metre levels I am comfortable with, but do you have any information regarding the wreck? Cheers.

Hope this question isn't too long. If you catch the big fish on a wreck, do you have to wait for the smaller fish to grow bigger or do big fish migrate from elsewhere to that wreck? I see commercial boats targeting the same wrecks time and time again and they must have taken all the big fish after a few weeks. I just wonder how there always seems to be big fish? --

Great vid, cheers. Wreck and foul, foul fishing is super frustrating. We fish some deep spots which are volcanic reefs. Honeycombs at 200 or 300 mtrs. Some days are epic, others just leave me gutted.
What kind of hooks do you use? I love short shank, small gape commercial tainawas for this kind of fishing. Or good, big circle hooks for Hapuka.

I-ve got this feeling you enjoy your fishing like I do, just waiting for a change in the weather to get out and do a bit on the boat, like you John if the conditions are good wee go, mackerel are always a good bait especially when fresh and a bonus is when you catch your target fish, anyway getting envious of you now good luck

From Africa! Really enjoyed watching you do the same things as I do in a different ocean and with different fish! I fish often in 40 to 50 meters of water. THAT was enough for me! 100 m plus is pretty amazing. We use half kilogram weights to get down. But your careful planning of tides and current taught me something important.

Well John, a daring trip at distance solo. You certainly have to know your capabilities, especially anchoring up at those depths, but you took it all in your stride. You are certainly capable and understand the sea which shows in your confidence. All in all, a great watch and very educational. Tight lines pal.
