Sea Fever - Gone Fishing


If you missed episode three, Fishing in the Sea Fever series there's still a chance to catch the pogramme over on BBC 4's iPlayer.






The programme covers all aspects of the British fishning industry and its ups and downs. There's plenty of content to keep the Cornish contingent happy, well the chaps from St Ives anyway, with some superb footage shot in the 60s aboard the longliner Sweet Promise with a running commentary from ex-skipper David Stevens and Dave Perkins reminiscing from the comfort of a sofa as they watch the autentic 8mm footage. Bang up to date, the camera go aboard the Stevens family trawler, Crystal Sea III for a look at the fishing scene off the Cornish coast as it is today.
