Commercial hand line Fishing for mackerel From Newlyn In Cornwall || Small Boat, Sustainable Fishing

In this video I steam out into Mounts Bay to try and catch some mackerel, to catch the mackerel I use 25 hooks and use A very old technique called the Cornish loop what is a very efficient way of fishing still to this day. After I had finished fishing I land the fish Into Newlyn fish market to be sold the next morning.
Sadly due to the fishing at the wrong tides there was not much fish around
compared to the morning on that day so I had to just pick away at what was there.

Fair play to you. The industry needs more young people like you on smaller boats not these factory ships

Nice to see how you cope with a long trace in a small boat, great tips.

[@rbnoff]

would be really good if you make videos with a breakdown of costs and how much you sell for, it is always interesting for all of us to see it

Where i live fishermen can ask £3 plus for a mackerel and get that amount. I catch them from the shore and am happy to give them away

[@billywatts4689]

You shouldn't give them away sell them cheaper

[@georgebugler8887]
