Just stumbled across this vid. I must say bloody hell, watching it brought back some memories with all the sights & sounds, & even the various smells. Good to see a young'ish chap as yourself entering into the industry. I'm medically retired from work, especially trawling, knackered spine. If I could I'd do it again. I worked on various size vessels, but mainly around the under 10m like yourselves. Dash good show old young'en.

I wish that the demand for British sea food was bigger by our own population which in turn would encourage more Fish Shops to open and re-open, they seem to be disappearing which is sad. My family love fish and sea food. I’m a big skate and bass fan, smoked eels, fresh octopus, squid, clams, cockles muscles, scallops and crab (cromer Crab is soooo good!). Our seas seems to be emptying so rapidly, beach fishing is harder and harder. Maybe British seas need a complete rest (keep out the French, Spanish and Chinese, would help).

Here in Uk seiners shoot hundreds of fathoms of seine rope in a semi half circle , then the net , then same amount of rope in another semi half circle arriving back at the dhan attached to the end of the first load of coils of swine role shot. Then attach both ends to swine net winch and haul like blazes while towing ahead , the ropes scrape along the bottom herding fish into the middle where the net is being towed and if everything goes to plan they're caught . Both net and ropes scrape the bottom much like a trawl . Pumping fish on-board is a pelagic fishing method here in UK , pelagic being midwater fishing . Hopefully that explains the confusion.
