  • Whitby, North Yorkshire. The Death Of Long Line Fishing For Cod In Yorkshire.
    Long Line fishing, although probably the most sustainable methods of fishing for cod, is now no longer viable off The Yorkshire.
    It's not the lack of fish, or eu regulations that have brought this aged method of fishing for cod to an end.
    To find out what has brought an end to this once prolific fishery, give this short video a watch to its conclusion.

    Watch Of fish and foe. Its available on amazon prime video. (amongst other channels too hopefully).
    Not only does this hardworking, Scottish family have thieving seals to contend with - whilst fishing traditionally as their forefathers had done and taught, The modern world, eventually destroys them.
    A compelling and honest film that echo's your observations Glen.

    Hi, my son hooked a Bass of around 10lb plus last year at Dungeness, Kent when suddenly line was stripped off his reel at a rapid rate of knots, only to go slack when he got his gear back there was only the head left. Then the seal popped his head as if it was laughing at him.

      Thats really interesting as I was convinced seals wouldn't take a bass. How wrong I was. Ive seen them take mackerel off anglers and also cod and ling.

      @@thewhitbyphotographer Hi again, even the local gill netters were saying they have bass taken as well from their nets but only very very rarely do they get a seal caught up.

      @@geoffoliver6788 Ive fished for bass here on plugs and often had seals in the same run but they never took the fish from me, so I assumed they didn't want it. I theorised, obviously wrongly that they didn't like the sharp spikes and razor gills. Obvs I was wrong. Of course its could have been that the seal simply wasn't hungry.
      With regards to the seals getting caught in the net, they are too intelligent. They know where the nets are, either by sight or by feeling its vibrations in the water.
      Ive actually witnessed seals using a net to Cath fish for them to eat.
      Often you'll get several seals operating around trout and Salmon nets, and they drive the fish at the nets, and then when the fish get caught, the seal will go take the fish out the net. They are extremely intelligent creatures.

    I'm sorry...but if you are catching the only food these seals have to eat you can hardly blame them for removing them from long lines
    Can't recall the last time I saw a seal in the supermarket aisles...the fish in the sea are all they have.

      Im a fence sitter in this debate. I love to see the seals, but also have many friends who are fishermen seeing their livelihoods suffer, so I understand their positions too.

    Understand But what is the answer? A cull? use nets? move the colony on??

    • @thewhitbyphotographer
      @thewhitbyphotographer  Год назад

      I don’t think there is an answer. Basically it’s just how it is. A sustainable method used for century’s is gone. That may sound good news for the conservationists, however, in my opinion, it’s not necessarily the win they desire as the fish will simply be caught in the same or greater amounts by far less selective and sustainable methods.

    Long Line fishing clears the seas out of fish, it is not in any way sustainable.

    • @thewhitbyphotographer
      @thewhitbyphotographer  Год назад +3

      There are many positives to line fishing over other methods. Selectivity and zero by catch, the ability to return undersize fish alive being only 3. Add into the equation the very low quota awarded to the UK under 10 fleet, virtually renders your claim nonsensical.

    Cod was still around ??? our chippy's havn't had that for ages, honestly, ive not seen Cod im local chippies for many years.. for a small island surrounded by seas its shocking.... and now the seals have gone for the home delivery aswell ? lazy blubbers !!
    I used to really enjoy fish & chips, but its too expensive now & there is very little quality like there used to be to justify the cost, maybe 1 in 10 chippies make a proper effort ? idk.. another addition to the decline of many things this decade.

    • @thewhitbyphotographer
      @thewhitbyphotographer  Год назад

      Its highly likely to be the case. I know its a different fish entirely, but you only have to look at The Herring to begin to realise how overfishing can impact a species. And sadly, it can take a very very long time for a recovery to come, if it happens at all.
      I often think about The Salmon in the river and wonder if the poaching of the 70's and 80's is still impacting the river all these years later.
