i used to have a small pleasure boat i fleetwood, a 24' ip named spinaway, also my uncle was one of the crew on the Goth which sank in iceland, his name was Albert silcock.
Thanks to you blokes for keeping the fishing going against the odds. The hateful EU and disinterested government has almost killed your industry . . . maybe, just maybe, things could improve after Brexit has been finally completed.
How can the weather change so much for the worse? It must average out you’d think. It’s a real bummer we’re losing so much tradition in this country it’s such a shame.
spinaway Most of Fleetwood fleet was for the north Atlantic. When Iceland took its waters back, the fleet was too big for what remained. The boats got bigger which decimated the fleet. But ultimately the mechanisation of fishing forced quota fishing. But it takes decades for the fish population to recover. Meanwhile the industry in Fleetwood died. Doubtless the EU played a role. But there was no EU in Canada yet its cod industry shut down overnight at the same time because of over fishing.

Neil Morrow it makes for sobering reading but i still believe that the EU has plaed a significant role in the doom of the british fishing industry, while we are payed to scrap boats spain recieves a grant to build a superfleet.
@@neilmorrow1 "Overfishing"... are you having a laugh!!? I remember that bs... "cod on the verge of extinction". Yet every fish and chip shop you went to still had cod on the menu, the only thing that changed was the price. The whole thing was a EU scam to, yet again, fleece the Brits. Get a clue pal. 😂
The problem with people they don't like stinky fish is because they just say so stinky I am above that I am soo above that that's what they do that's how they ACT but the thing is the stinky fish is there fish to have all the oils in it they're the ones that are extremely healthy the ones that don't smell have all had the all extracted out of it and that's the fattening fish that's the bad fish I just don't understand it with people will become so lazy
Here, take some of these.... (,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,) Help yourself and let me know if you need any more because I have plenty. And I agree - " I just don't understand it with people will become so lazy" - in learning grammar and how to express themselves well in writing.
I'll believe it when I see it, because as long as our 'government' are hell bent on following international corporate globalists' agendas, nothing will change.... in fact they are about to get a whole lot worse.
They would do if it was cheaper and viable, which it isn't!! I love it when people post comments such as this - while making out that they know better they actually show they know nothing. 😂 The Scots have a great word for this, which is 'numpty'. You are a numpty.
Yeah, because dynamite fishing in coral waters (which also destroys the coral, so whatever fish survive have less to feed and breed on) that's perfectly fine, because that's much more eco friendly. 🙄 Get a clue.
Do you actually know the slightest thing about trawling other than what you see in the Greenpeace fiction cartoons. If you did you would know that this type of trawling does very little if any damage. The sort of net this boat would tow barely touches the bottom ,unlike the Greenpeace cartoons that show it crashing into and destroying every thing. Scallop dredging is alltogether differant and does cause huge damage, but the big companies that own most of those have clout with the people that make the rules. Even most fishermen dont like dredgers.
Still being appreciated in 2020
Hang on in there boys
Thanks
Hi Gary sad day I understand
Stuck for words
All the best to you

Thank you to the person who uploaded this, so many good memories for me.
I knew your Dad when he was Coxsn of the Lifeboat, and when he had the MFV Rodalinga, back in the late 60s or early 70s, happy days!

What a damn shame all this has been, how things turned out. Respect to all of them.
It didn't 'turn out' this way... it was politically manipulated to be this way.
This boat is now advertised for sale, shame :(
I would like to buy these type of fishing boats.
Sadly not a lot remains :( ruclips.net/video/KKBJVWsLu6g/видео.html

Let's hope the government do the right thing and we get some fishing back.
"the government" 😂 There is no governance of the UK any more, they are just 'managers' for globalist corporate interests.
Hi tell me if this boat was converted to live on can you take it anywhere>
Sadly Diane isnt with us anymore either.
i would love to do this job if any one one knows who is hiring
Same here bruh
i recenly got a job as a deck hand , i asked the 1st fisherman i saw he gave me a job
No problem getting on a boat, but you have to have done several courses first. eg first aid firefighting ect .
Are they still going?
No, they sold the boat a few years ago now
Sad. Nice, handy Scots boat.
and to think Nigel Farage said the fishing would come back to the UK post Brexit, seen no sign of it so far
All gone thanks to the EU'
Too simple to blame the EU. Overfishing and Iceland winning the cod wars were the real cause.
Neil Morrow I dont know, its over fished with foreign boats in my opinion, the common fisheries policy was slewed against british boats.

Well the tide is turning....Fleetwood is about to benefit from the absence of foreign trawlers in our waters and prosper . AND NOT BEFORE TIME.
I'll believe it when I see it, because as long as our 'government' are hell bent on following international corporate globalists' agendas, nothing will change.... in fact they are about to get a whole lot worse.
Sad brexiteers! Did you really think we would get all this back?
（滿載滿載）
All engineered so sad.
Oh well, prehistoric destructive fishing tactics have no place in modern world
Why not convert to electric and save a buck on fuel?
They would do if it was cheaper and viable, which it isn't!! I love it when people post comments such as this - while making out that they know better they actually show they know nothing. 😂 The Scots have a great word for this, which is 'numpty'. You are a numpty.
No battery big enough
Reminder that trawlers are the most harmful way of fishing there is so this being the last one is kinda great
