Two really lovely people! I used to keep my boat down there and Sheila would bring us eggs and whiskey marmalade. Happy days. Don't miss the walk down there mind. Local boats catching fish in a sustainable way. Proper. Two of the nicest people on the river.
What a neat couple. I hope they are still at it. Hope they thin the Mullet out a bit to help the smolts and eggs prosper. We need more people like this.
I miss this so much... Mr Cox of Appledore is me uncle.... First went salmon fishing aged 3 with me grandad.. Happy days sadly missed :(.... The only thing I don't miss is the Hinks coal House draught! Net was a pig to pull in!
What a lovely old couple having a nice day out not doing any harm to anybody....the few salmon these people catch these days isn't going to damage the stocks on any river and they are well entitled to their few fish.
I used to net fish on the River Dart near Stoke Gabriel , with my uncle and father and cousin , back in the 70's when you could make good money, 14 hour day in the summer months , no licences any more, just memories .
The reason there's none left is cause 37 people netting and used to catch 300 and then they ask why there's so little left and why the fishing season is shorter lmao
Love these dying crafts, I don't suppose they put a dent in the salmon population. I'm a rod fisherman and don't mind these at all it's the commercial fisheries that do the damage.

Fish are gone

You are mistaken, fish stocks started declining when measures were put in place to protect seals, goosanders, merganser and cormorants.
nice video

Finally a fellow fisherman who understands
Great vid.. that’s real salmon!!! Not the shit farmed crap from the shops
“Years ago I took 300” - and they wonder why the fishing is so poor. You reap what you sow
What a lovely life
👍
My grandad :)
Is he really your grandad?
Callum he's a legend
Been fishing how long and didn’t have a knife on you?
Rookie mistake
Won’t see that kind shortly pity
Should be banned , there’s a simple reason why there’s no salmon if you can’t figure that out ? If they can’t get up stream to spawn .
They do not need money greed still net ing
I guess they’re dead now....
Still kicking
quicker it disappears the better. Wouldn't be allowed if they were killing other endangered creatures like elephants!!
