Small boat commercial fishing. I have been fishing in small commercial beach boats since I was 8 years old, my father does it, his father, and many generations before hand. Im the owner of a small beach launched vessel on the Norfolk coast. In the autumn and winter we mainly fish with drift nets for herring. Around xmas we also fish for sprats too. In the summer we catch thornback rays, bass, mackerel, mullet, sea trout, smooth hounds, dog fish, brown shrimps, brown crabs, lobsters and a few other bits and pieces using drift nets, tangle nets, longlines, jigging machines, pots and a shrimp trawl. Mostly traditional techniques that have been used for centuries, these are unfortunately dying out with the modernisation of the fishing industry, and the changes in peoples habits of eating certain species of fish.
Im also an apprentice served electrical and mechanical engineer for over 25 years, so complete all of the maintenance on my boat and tractor myself.
