 what time is it quarter to five in the morning four forty five i'm leaving the campsite that i was at and i've been out for a couple of nights and i'm going to meet john who i was with yesterday and he's going to take me out on his boat i'm going to try and do some potting and go and grab some pots he's had out so i'll bring you along and show you how he does it you see it's early it's early doors but let's see if there's some in the near pots it's like my first day at school waiting to be picked up and uh john's just going to pick me up from this pontoon it's early doors about six o'clock now but i feel fresh not been slurping i was a good boy last night just had uh just had one pint with me dinner so yeah i'm going to wait for john to pick me up from this little jetty and then we're going to go out and we're going to check his pots um and see if we can't get some uh some lobsters which would be good where the man is the only natural predator of a lobster so let's go and predator some lobsters safety first safety first ladies and gentlemen because this is what it's all about safety first well look safety first wrap it before you slap it at least we look like we know i'm like you do know what you're doing let's go yeah well you're backside me that's the best side believe it or not see there's a lighthouse there's a lighthouse there that's just the lighthouse from fraggle rock apparently i'll get you closer to it he's going to get us closer to the actual lighthouse from fraggle rock and if you don't know what fraggle rock is i'll put a picture of a few fraggles on there it's a bit choppy here we are look for anyone who can remember this is the lighthouse from fraggle rock what's that noise that's a fog on that's what i was hearing last night when i was camping and it's automated apparently john says there's no one living in it is there no no fraggles in it anymore all controlled from a little hub somewhere you can tell that's horrible stuff in there you don't want to be going over there and this is called shag rock i don't know why i would like that but it's just called shag rock really interesting saucy story behind it because it's usually got shag sat on it what's a shag shag is the type of cormorant it's the type of cormorant it's not it looks exactly like a cormorant about it's got like a little quiff at the top that's good to know mate that's what i didn't know learning that's like oh what's that then that's just the cormorant then shag rock fraggle rock so all them things in wickby that i've been saying that was a cormorant it could be just a shag oh my life's been a lie all jokes i could have had growing up they helped shag that anyway shag that bird well that's shag and that's fraggle rock so fraggles and shagging let's go don't call it mode up our anchor we've just stopped that's what we call it the nautical term we've just stopped we're drifting actually john said whoa don't drop camera over that other side right let me get out of your way we're gonna troll a couple of lures 36 foot of water look i'd quite like to get in dive i should have brought some of my goggles and that couldn't some underwater filming when you're pulling it big bass right and he's going through what lore have you got on there for all these fault fishermen is a sidewinder scaries candy king candy king because he's got a little candy the make his sidewinder the model is a scaries and the color is a candy and there you go let's see if we can get as a bass why wouldn't a bass want that i kind of want it so we're just going to troll these two rods with our squidgy whatever they call squidgy pirates or whatever they happen then hopefully get one we're just going to troll by this curse it's excited isn't it folks it's unusual while camping up a mountain look out on a boat with the main man fish locker doing a bit early morning doing a bit as well let's get up at our forge to pack my tent away and get out of campsite he's little caves everywhere as well fish on got a fish on it's on your little is it a little bass i just say i said i was surprised we had that in the schooling yeah as soon as you said it stunning fish on your on the little rainbow warrior seal hey up that's a snaggy's it you're a fisherman yeah i am a little bit i'm from fishing stock you know all the terms and everything snag i said there i did a bit of research before i came it's only a little then target species school bass i said yeah we're going to get his grandad now he's up straight away look yeah that's seal there we are first fish of the year it's just straight into yeah frying pan into fire just bringing up his first fleet of pots he's going to show us what's in there if anything's in there fingers crossed what's the bait what do you use for bait in there just start fish carcasses oh shite yeah i give a brink and catch any polygons blows all the heads of the carcasses all right yeah why you smell it stinks me yeah another brown and what's them white things inside the pot oh that's just back burning it yeah three edibles all small the last of the four and a lively lobster is all sorts going on in this one we've got some swimmers there's a velvet swimming crab you can tell tell the difference the reason they're called velvet swimmers is because they've got like a velvet texture on top these back legs or a swimming leg not sure yeah there's some lovely colors on them yeah beady red eyes on them these are as you'll have heard Paul's saying are edible crabs now they usually take one of two poses they'll either have like a defensive pose where they call themselves up like that or an aggressive pose so they'll either kind of hold themselves up or it'll be like that way right not sure the difference as well between a male and a female the males underneath here we've got a narrow v whereas the females have got a wider pad that's purely because the females hold the eggs underneath they ride these away a little lobster i'll get these crabs out to where first they do what a lobster they're so much stronger than anything outside of their medibles when they get locked up into a pot especially them home made ones need to be careful with them as well because if you're just raving too hard you just end up pulling all their legs off yeah there's a little tiny one near your foot baby velvet swimming crab is that a baby velvet no and last but not least a little lobster you're a bit of a mashed up crunching claw isn't it nice a female a little girl if we have a male i can show you the difference but like i was saying to you before the females tail at the back cross section it's quite wide but a male also when you're looking at underneath a male up here on these bottom two legs of two white dots nice color but lovely blue no two the same is it they're all yeah like an individual fingerprint yeah lovely stuff throw her back in there we go little mermaid and then we'll pots just go back all i'll do is i'll empty all these other ones there's not more to see knees with no just brown crabs get all them out rebate them and then get more right okay and then what we'll try some for some others or fresh bait catches crabs stinking bait catches lobsters that's good tip that fresh bait catches crabs stinking bait catches lobster and i tell you what that is going to catch lobster because that is stinking it's salted rotten mackerel and that's at the smell is people have said before they're like oh i wish i could smell what you could smell in the video you don't want to you don't want to be able to smell this rotten salted mackerel mate i tell you what it's a good job what's that you've got some unsteering whale what's that is that salted back i can't get any on me i might be seaweed um i'll tell you what it's a good job i didn't have a skin full last night because that would have been me gipping off at the side just had one pint with me dinner so i'm all right i'm immune to it smelt worse this is one of the crabs we'll go out the pot just talk to your body real quickly this is a female brown edible crab now you can tell the difference like i showed you earlier on between the males and the females because of this wide pad underneath here the females it's wider because that's where they hold their eggs you can also tell by the cross section of the crab female as you can see there it's quite humped the male's almost flat we were just talking here that there's different minimum landing sizes all over the country up in the north east where you're from it's 130 millimeters across the back that's the same for males and females down here it's two different sizes one for males one for females for the females it's 150 millimeters the males it's 160 millimeters you measure that i'm sure you're real complete this one is size but i explain why we're not going to take it you measure from one side of there to there both at defensive pause yeah like i was showing you earlier on protecting where's most vulnerable isn't she yeah she's where it grabs other than my thumb as well so you measure across the back there this is 160 so this is big enough to take the reason why we're not going to take it is because as you can see it's quite clean it's got no keel worms on it it's got no barnacles and the undersides of here are quite pale claws are almost opaque because they've got a hard exoskeleton when they're going to grow they have to shed off the old hard shell and grow a new one so the shed out of this hard shell absorb absorb a load of water swell up and then hardens again now even though this is you can just you can just start by looking at it it just looks yeah although it does it's it's hard it's like al dente almost yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it's still full of water because the muscles haven't had a chance to swell out fill the shell again it's that ain't good eating if you boiled it you'd end up just it'd be hollow be full of water yeah so yes there you go then back she goes to toughen up you're good yeah all right right there yeah nice and comfortable should have brought a little flask and a cup of tea watch your work trying to get some of this seaweed up this rope unbelievable how fast it grows well that's not grown there that's all grown on there since i put this out easy to clean rope be careful when you're doing this as well you don't get hooks people fishing and getting their hooks caught in your rope yeah slide your hands down here find a treble hook let's get a big it's a big summa around there a big dogfish have you and bullies they're bigger out there yeah where a small bullies and a big dogfish anywhere you build the tallies and you get bigger like nasal flaps right like thickness of the head yeah if you get if you get one that's above five pound it's a bullish right dogfish don't you ever get bigger have you ever eaten them have you any good quite meaty yeah depends how you're doing people complain because they've got a bit of an ammonia taste to them yeah that's what people say yeah but if you um if you skin them put some bleed them and skin them and then you freeze it half freeze most of all fish first make sure there's no parasites in it how is that work yeah we get worms in all fish right it's just part of being wild even probably shop bought fish will have worms in it at some point but if you it's why i was saying i never never advised people to eat anything raw because it's how you end up with parasites okay as long as you're cooking properly or if you're freezing fully beforehand anything that's been in there's folks i'm always doing catching cooks while i catch it and eat it straight away and that's yeah but if you cook it it's fine oh i cooked it innit yeah none of this sashimi like no i forget that we're like an itchy bum when you look worms do you forget that now now a big brown looks looks like a keeper is it maybe you're the female i can tell you from here it's a female top of it's rounded more i know could you sense the females i do yeah i think i might have matched with them on tinder last night i've got that we're in 48 feet of water 48 feet Jesus that's some all in that innit nice that's about a 68 bringing this out these are what you've been talking for since you used to the morning though all right that's just a mullet head see a little lobby or flapping around big enough isn't it there we go look yet them in the hell up lingheads absolute lingheads let me tell you hang on 91 mil if you can zoom in there and see it can't zoom in too much wide angle there you are she's legal 91 millimeters legal tender this one is a male so like it shows them white dots if you can if you can see right just there see by my finger yeah them two white dots females don't have them and also these two little legs here these top ones one a female they're not big legs they're like fans like this right females got big fans all the way up because it's where it holds the eggs yeah yeah this little lad going with us he's going with us for what we're gonna eat him are we with males still minimum landing size but also v notches yeah either this one or this one yeah he's coming with us right he's coming with us we've got one i will let you check out of him and yeah look this is you can see there look there's the job on she's an old linghead linghead look at teeth on her oh he did it we did have some nice ones up there on a record it's a very red looking doggy it's a red nice looking one like he's been living in a record so much on me yeah beautiful um by take care of it what do you mean you've got bans are out or just just make sure you don't come down here in all these rocks okay you'll notice with some of the crabs and some of the other things that will show you it's only got one claw now it's a hard life being a crab and a lobster the battling well battling every day their lives aren't there with the conditions with other crabs and lobsters with sails with predator fish charming what happened to that him stemming passed too close yeah they grow their arms and legs back all they'll do is the next time they shed their shell like we'll talk about with that edible crab yeah just grow them back and they'll do the same all crabs do the same they'll all shed it they'll all become we call them peeler crabs sometimes up north and fishing them i the they don't grow back the same size straight away so if you've got one if you ever find one it's got one big claw one little one during the video that one doesn't it Jeremy it means it's lost one of them and it's in the process of growing it back right okay all right these um these blue pots i'm making myself these are all made these are john's special so it's even more special when you've made it you say you've gone full graft to making it and then well not only that down here is these are completely unique down here because this is we know feast and design yes this is the design that we use up in the north east that's what i'm used to it he's quite big with claws on him it's a male it's a male big claws and a female no it's another male another male yeah these two we're getting quite cozy in there a couple of uh those emails yeah these are both under size but you can and you can just tell that straight off the back i'll deal with him in a second they can deal with you can see where he's straight away these will be maybe about 130 yeah and he's got them cast all over his legs is that one under size under size but yeah these these white worms that you can see on his legs you can see him i've got a couple up on his face as well he's got some as well they're called keel worms another commercial guy yeah you can see the aggressive paws that he's pulling he's in like a highway then yeah i can let something go but they've got much bigger claws for the body size aren't they that's where a lot of meat is this one is slightly bigger when you're getting them out of a pot like this i'm trying to show you and they get older get older side of pot you have to be careful with them because if you pull them too hard just pull all the arms and legs off yeah so if you get older the claw like get actually get older the claw i'm pulling you see he's got a right on there there you go that one probably is big enough but no up my and neck at once he'd have been there he may have been in pot what is he 156 156 four millimeters under size four mil but it's just four mil under so he's got to go back there's another one there by the rules trying so strong yeah hellishly strong absolute beast of a thing out there please ready for battle now wouldn't i winning the fight between that and the lobster it depends which one gets older what yeah i've put a crab in a lobster in a bookie before and thought i'll be fine tell me back and just do it like it was the crab that killed the lobster right but there you go i've seen him before as well where they've been in a pot together with a load of dead crabs and one big angry lobster yeah that was good what else we got just one of the reddible crab is it of size or of nerves another very clean female you see like with that one before either of both of those males all them worms this one has got nothing on it no weed no marks and the claws as you can see down here like in the the top part they're almost opaque she's just peeled recently full of water yeah and look at the size difference of the claws the body's bigger claws are smaller that is that there we go he's rebeated and shot back you know warner you know warner well done good luck to them pots every now and again when you're bringing the pots up you get little tea creatures that are living in the pots or living on the rope and things like that and this little guy here i don't know how close you can see it but i spotted it on the deck and i said i said i think that's a montague sea snail i'm sorry a montague sea slug i just couldn't be sure i mean look at it it just looks like a little piece of seaweed but they have got a sucker underneath them he's a bit tired we're part of their defense mechanism after these little ends it's just just lay there like a cornish sucker as well we'll find someone in the rock pool later on and so what is he just is just like a little the lonely ever grown like maximum size but size you thumb right right montague sea snail a montague sea snail yeah even though it's a fish even though it's a fish there you go every day's a school day we will try and find you a nice cornish sucker later on this holiday is just getting better and better stop for a little flick near this pier where john says there's oftentimes bass riding there that's got to get him out he's quite shallow is it we're on fish on fish on not very big bites tip at rod can't be deceptive can't be deceptive i don't think it's going to be a big one he's uh he's been a bit ambitious any little bass oh here he is bass on he's an easy one to get off yeah and that'll be your bove wiggle size or what i said reckon 42 there you go bass on on a little candy king little candy king look at him oh easy to get off as well this will show you it's 42 centimeters minimum landing size for a bass i think down though what nice i'm doing it yeah 40 centimeters 40 we was going to go back anyway just to show you how big a minimum landing size bass was that was all that was boom straight away lovely stuff that was uh as soon as the lure hit the water there this can't be we're just seeing you aren't we another little bass is it same lad people who aren't used to handling bass you do have to be careful of what because they have covered in spikes i got cut yesterday i think on his gill plate they have one big spike there look just where my fingernail is and each one of these is a spike so how would you if i if i was spearfishing so how would i carry it or how would someone who's new carry the spikes if you push them that way they stand up if you go like that look so if you're going to get rolled a bit get rolled a bit bite said yeah get rolled a bit like that but these these spikes on the back of here and these have got a spike on there look that's one that gets you as well so basically if you come from the front and go back over or in its mouth they haven't got teeth that you can do you with is it no really it's got a little tiny one you can feel there look it's just like sandpaper like coarse grit sandpaper a really little specimen back she goes yeah the the spikes on the side of their gills it's like i was explaining to you earlier when i was getting like a double bite what the do is they'll come in and and jab like a bait fish like a mackerel or something so sometimes you'll find that when you've got like a lure you'll find you get a bite and then it comes back and get it so what it does is it runs around and jabs it and then comes around again and gets it so sometimes when you're fishing with treble hooks you'll foul look on its side at face because they come up and bat it and hook up there you go and also for anyone who's watching if you just you know if you want a little bit of fun especially on this video if you want to flick the subtitles on and just see what it's making of these accents that might be a little fun game for you to play you can do that now oh wow put me in it to get the scale look at the absolute size of that some money in there like in there vast yachts but we're happy we're happy in this little vessel because we're working class lads for anybody that's interested that yacht belongs to the Katari royal family 300 million 300 million pound yacht and there's the Katari family there is a speedboat in there it's definitely got a helipad on there i think the the lord of the Katara or the king of Katara is a subscriber to both me and john so it'll be a bit starstruck if he sees us lads out here now that's giving me earlier for an autograph on the controlling now i think yes maybe yes maybe if i keep you get one of my patches and stickers i said no i mean i'm going out the lobster don't you worry we're off out potting there we are back on terra firmer after a lovely morning out getting shown how he does it out on the boat out on the good ship lollipop the good ship lollipop mc ferrell fisheries and uh and yeah thanks to john from the fish
