Today I join Mikey on the Commercial Fishing Vessel Julie Girl offshore from the coast of Cornwall. I am spending a day in the life of a Monkfish fisherman. Monkfish is another name for Anglerfish. These are a deepwater species of fish that lives on the seabed luring in and ambushing its prey. We work his commercial nets, then prep, clean and land the catch. Mikey sells much of his catch direct through his fb group - www.facebook.c...
If you want to buy fresh local and sustainably caught fish straight from the fisherman be sure to give him a message.

@oldbloke135
@oldbloke135 Год назад
It came up very clean, no sea weed, so once the fish are out it probably just takes a bit of a shake. Because it is strung between two ropes it can't really tangle itself much. I'm impressed by how selective it is, almost nothing but what they were trying to catch.
@TheFishLocker
@TheFishLocker Год назад
Hi Lillian, exactly as oldbloke has said you simply shake and pull the net slightly and most tangles comes free. It is untangled as you go and shot back afterwards.

Thanks for explaining how his method was low impact on the environment, minimizing my fear of overfishing. I'd suggest putting the explanation about the efficiency of the nets in the middle of the video instead of the end because at one point I was getting worried about taking so many breeders out of the population.

Incredibly efficient ( through damn hard work ) method of fishing, having no by- catch is phenomenal ! Utilising the richness of the sea is shorely ( ha-ha ) the way to keep sustainable food coming to our tables. Hunting , gathering and fishing are only achievable with a great understanding of nature, most 'Farming' methods seem to be purely exploitative, not to mention insanely destructive. Keep up the good work John, best wishes to you, your friends and family.

Thanks John, that’s actually a question I often wondered about I knew they couldn’t be line caught or long lined, but it’s great to see how they’re caught and how efficient it is.

I only tried those once was a real big fan. But a very interesting video. I would love to spend the day on the boat just watching the operation specially someone like me we lives 2000+ miles from any ocean. So good luck and safe fishing.

Excellent John!! Your last few uploads have opened my eyes to the commercial side of life on the water. His catch looked okay, although it would be interesting to know what he got for it? I heard him say £30 for one Monk-fish? So before fuel costs he's making £1k-£2k per day with all the extras? Not bad for a one man act.
@TheFishLocker
@TheFishLocker Год назад
Not quite. Like I explained also he can only work one week in 2. You are right 30 monks like this might fetch £900. So with everything else it’s £1k. But that’s halved by only working 1 week every 2 and then there are boat costs and fuel and nets etc.

It is good to see you widening our education John. This could be a very long series. Take a day with skippers targeting all of the different species in UK waters so we can see how fish get to our plates and the different methods used to catch them.

I don't recall you saying, but how long does the net soak or groups of nets? I would assume not too long, 24-48 hours at the most. It looks like it was a nice calm day too, mostly. Another great video.

One of my favorite eating fish. Wondered why they were becoming more common on the fishmongers slab. Is that a variety that has a parasitic male? Got some good by catch too. Seals need to be addressed, uncontrolled populations will decimate groundfish stock . Each adult 'normal' size seal eats 11 pounds of fish each day. They perpetuate parasites also.
@TheFishLocker
@TheFishLocker Год назад
I agree about the seals.

A lovely, meaty & delicious tasting fish eaten as either fillets or cut across the bone into steaks. They used to be known as 'mock scampi' as they have that same lobster-like texture & taste but I don't think that's allowed these days.

We show it. You pull it gently apart and it runs over the “flaker” hauler at the back.
