Brown bread in hot water - undersize net!
The skipper of the Guilvenec registered trawler, Barra Brenn (Breton for Brown bread- one of several in the Bread fleet) was in court for allegedly fishing with undersize mesh in his trawl........
the skipper is none too pleased as the trawl in question was brand new straight from the manufacturers, obviously bought on the assumption that the net would conform to the legal mesh size requirements.
