If you live by the Cornish coast, then you’ll know how fishing forms an integral part of our Cornish lives. From the commercial crab fisherman lifting their catch 10 miles off shore, to the sardine ring net fisherman circling Mounts Bay. Thens there the one or two crewed independent small boat fishermen who line catch Bass and Mackerel. Don’t forget those shoreside support guys too.
The skilled net makers. Sadly this has become a dying skill but there are still a few of them out there. You’ll also find a whole team of guys and girls who support are fishermen once on shore. They too form an integral part of the industry.
Ive been fortunate enough to of been allowed aboard these commercial vessels and the captains and crew have aloud me to capture all that I see. This is a dangerous industry but the fishermen that work these waters are well trained in order to help them along the way. Commercial fishing is a super tough industry to work in and only tough men and women need apply. Below are just a few of the shots Ive taken overtime. All on film and all real. A big thank you once again to all of those who allowed me to capture them
