Three different fishing boats


Three boats, three different methods of fishing, three fishing grounds.


The Louisa N is a beam trawler and has been working about 50 miles north of Newlyn at the southern end of the Celtic Deep. Fishing in that area, no doubt the boys will have been enjoying sandwiches filled with freshly boiled langoustine tails and mayonnaise.


The Silver Dawn is the port's biggest and newest steel gill netter, skipper Hosking has been working his nets north west of the Scillies for hake and other white fish like pollock, cod and ling.


From the regular pattern on the AIS the 'strings' of pots can be seen worked by the crabber Pen Glas working much closer to the shore, also north of the Scillies.
