Fantastic film, thank you so much, should be on Netflix.. My father fished out of Newlyn from the 70’s to 2000. Fishing is bloody hard work. What a lovely man and family.
Such a lovely thing to be able to show our children video footage of their dad, fishing with nutty Noah. 20 odd years later, feels like just yesterday, I was 14 and he was going off to sea, now we are married and have 4 beautiful children. (I bought the vhs at the premiere 🤣) This is pure “old school Cornish culture” it’s a little piece of history…our history. And Martin is an absolute legend. its so important to have this to cherish these memories as our local fishing industry will never be the same 🥺❤️
I just found this , it was hard to watch at times . What a gentleman and inspiration , I will think of him when I’m in Newlyn and hope he got a break in the end . It was a lesson in resilience for all.
@jedtrewin7083 I was stationed with the RAF at St Mawgan, while serving the NATO support there with other Americans. I've missed Cornwall ever since. Friends, family, the countryside there...magic. Blessings to all of you 🙏
Wow....what a fantastic film...a man of many talents...with a great family behind him..life is all about ups and downs it's how much you can bounce back..and this man showed us all exactly that. Well done.
Just stumbled across this......and having rewatched the recent fishing documentaries about Cornwall fisheries, Martin was clearly a man ahead of his time.....now of course "Cornish Sardines" command much higher prices and are all the rage, and fishing for them is a very competitive business......thoroughly entertaining.....and Jed too was clearly way ahead of the youtube generation with such a good humoured but honest presentation of the harsh life of professional fishing/ flyonthewall film of a genuine Cornishman and his beautiful supportive wife and family......so glad I came across your channel......
May The God of Heaven and Earth and all that is within Bless this man Martin and His lovely wife Sally.. and May there live's prosper till death do they part.. ✝️ 🙏 Amen,amen..
Excellent video so far, (I'm only 10 mins in) many thanks. Finished it tonight, yes the whole thing is excellent, what a lovely bunch of people (except the banks and the BBC)
I just watched this. What a gentleman ! I felt despairing watching it and yet he kept going . I hope he got a break in the end I’m in Newland often and will think of him if ever life gets me down ….what an inspiration.
All I can say is what a great guy as always Sally is a rock. Christ those pasties looked delicious thanks for the memories cheers n beers Marty Australia
What a Charachter , his love for fishing was so strong. Id love to meet him. Back when people were genuine and everyone helped one another . Big up from Ireland
Thanks for Filming this lovely man, what fun you must have had doing it together. And its a testimony to his loving wife, Who stood by him, not many like that these days. I can see the cornish/Irish similarities especially the humor and Craic.
William Stevenson and sons are an amazing company I was also lucky enough to be Dec hand on a few trips and boy it was an experience and amazing job... I miss it loads. yours truly (SHAKEY)
Lovely video, He has had nothing but bad luck for a few years. He deserves all the breaks and good luck in the future...what a worker, what a wish for good luck, wish he could win the lottery...he deserves so much in life... May good fortune finally come your way...!!
What a great down to earth doco of Martins life as a fisher man, thank you. Just of the record Martin if you ever get to read this from me, you my man are a gower and you should have better. I'm a Kiwi never been anywhere else but home. Over the years the little fish that you now catch are used not for human consumption, but people that use it as pet food are making millions out of it.
I'm a half way round the planet, on the N.W. coast of America, and as a fisherman, I feel this man's pain. The sea, as are the banks, are both unforgiving. I just sunk my life's savings into a hand troller, and her loss at sea would be devastating. But this is how the life of a fisherman is...
I've subscribed mate. I was a fisherman on the Britannia v working for Barry prinn and the skipper was masher ,my name given to me was shakey....this was 2002/2004 come out the British army and more or less started working on a gill net boat week at sea week at home... Originally from London and never worked on a fishing boat in my life until then... BLOODY LOVE IT AND MISS IT LIKE MAD. I LIVE IN KENT NOW SO IF ANYONE READING THIS KNOWS OF ANYONE IN THE KENT AREA NEEDING A DECK HAND PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT DIRECTLY TO ME PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE
True English people hardworking and getting on with life, spent some years working in England and only met good people,was always welcome, go raibh mile maith agat from eire
Hello jed, we met at barncoose miu last week and you said to watch this video. All I can say is thank you, what a fantastic video and an equally fantastic bloke. Me and my wife watched all 3 episodes and then the shifting sands video. Cracking stuff.! Thanks again and I hope that the hand is OK. Steve.
Excellent documentary, way ahead of its time really. Tells it like it is, unique Cornish humour and all 🤣. One of the best I've ever watched about fishing community. Must be your own close friendship with Martin and his family that brought out the human element in a way upcountry filmmakers could never do. [Sorry to learn from your comment on another post that he and Sally are no longer together.]
Transporting myself back to 1970/71. I used to go everywhere with my dad and his company every holiday going along with a hell of a lot of weekends. Anyway My dad was working on a job at Conwy, decorating inside and out the 'Liverpool Arms'. ( 50 yards away from the Smallest House in Great Britain) I used to wander round the area I was at did my own thing but always back in time for the lift home. Anyhoo...The harbour at Conwy. I was awestruck of the whole thing. These boats coming in. Just 25 yards away from where my dads company was working and I just loved it. Anyway...I wrangled myself in helping out on the dock area with the boatsand loading up vans with fish and shellfish ....I loved it.13/14 years of age....in an era where kids were able to be kids.... I got 5 shillings - 15 shillings every Saturday or Sunday from the boats I helped out with I used to cycle just under 8 miles to get there on the weekend... rain or hail.(5 bob or 15 bob)( A HUGE amount of money) in maybe 2 bob from one boat. Half a crown from another..2 bob.. from another, shilling from someone else. Couldn't give a damn. I loved it. Money wasnt a 'thing' ..Also worked at Woolworths in Colwyn Bay after school each week day which was more cash!...But anyway I digress. Going back to the docks... i loved this place, it slowly started getting slower. Less ships going out especially into the Atlantic for cod as Europe started moving in due to EU crap and regulations. I think Conwy probably died a death with seeing itself as a fishing port by around 1978 or so. ( I was still living in the area but Uni changed stuff) Just as I was probably leaving the area. I'm just giving my experience of the fishing industry. it's a droplet in the ocean as to how and what ALL the captains of boats have had to go through regarding the sleepless nights of worry...through not catching and when you do, the prices are kaput, countless days away from home one bloody wave and you are probably fecked... all the variables.. yet...who actually gives a flying **** about fishermen? Your Government doesn't A Brexit lie... Fishermen are still knackered after all the promises.
In 1952 when I was 4 years old the Fisho use to come around and mum would buy me 4 sprats and cook them in a polish tin lid on the stove ,, sometimes she would buy me winkles and I would dig the meat out with a pin,,
Right across the world the world the same scene plays over and over again. Foreign fishermen allowed in whilst the locals are excluded. This tells me one thing, and one thing only. Politicians are bought.
Absolutely brilliant , throughly enjoyed watching this seen it before , and no doubt will definitely watch it again in the future. Hope you are all keeping well, and merry Xmas and happy new year......
Fantastic film, thank you so much, should be on Netflix.. My father fished out of Newlyn from the 70’s to 2000. Fishing is bloody hard work. What a lovely man and family.
Much apreciated
What year was this made
@@dyl5518 It says Produced in 2002 in the titles. So probably filmed in the late 90s and early 2k’s.
Such a lovely thing to be able to show our children video footage of their dad, fishing with nutty Noah. 20 odd years later, feels like just yesterday, I was 14 and he was going off to sea, now we are married and have 4 beautiful children.

So Glad you enjoyed and savoured what has now so nearly disappeared our true Cornish people and Culture

Brilliant film, I used to love seeing the sharks up on the slipway.

What a beautiful video this was to watch.
Proper people.

I agree
So Jed, whats the current situation of the family?
Absolutely brilliant , throughly enjoyed watching this seen it before , and no doubt will definitely watch it again in the future. Hope you are all keeping well, and merry Xmas and happy new year......
Thanks happy xmas and new year to you
