Sign the "petition to fisheries minister Richard Benyon to demand a reformed Common Fisheries Policy, that gives fishing rights to sustainable fishermen, ends destructive fishing practices and puts the health of our seas and fish stocks at its heart."

Nice short film that. I would love to meet Paul again. Some years ago I used to have a boat and on occasions I would also go out on Paul's boat, Little Toot from the 70s and Eilish the bigger shrimper got, it's so great out there. Now we live by the sea again, further up the coast in Heysham.

Any scope for charter angling from Lytham/St Annes? I live in Southport so no chance here with our huge inter-tidal area.
