The Ajax AH32 has a brand new web site!
Local gill net fishing vessel, Ajax AH32 is seen here leaving Newlyn. She is bound away nearly two hundred miles west of Newlyn looking to fish for hake. Skipper Alan Dwan and his crew of 'binge worker' are all set for their fifth trip of the year.
The Ajax, like all net boats, is restricted to a limited number of days in the year at sea by virtue of the tide - she can't fish over the bigger spring tides. As of now you can follow the progress of the Ajax live on her web site - get to find out how she fishes, what she fishes for and get daily updates on daily hauls of fish.
