Just watching the new trawlermen fishing off the graveyard, they landed 500t of mackerel in one haul..my word thats a lot of ling baits :)

They now shooting the nets for cod and haddock, 1/2 mile long nets, not saying its wrong as its thw way of the world but can we really keep going at that rate 500t in 6hrs fishing.

Great program to watch and better now they fishing in other parts of the UK closer to home...viewing wise not fish wise for us lot lol
 
It answers the question as to why we were struggling to catch any mackeral during the season this year.
As you say Rich, How long can it go on?
