I have been fishing since I can remember; it is something I have always
enjoyed doing and when the opportunity came to actually make some money
out of it I went for it – I was 14 years old. At the age of 18 I took out a loan and I bought my first boat although
I soon realised I wasn’t ready for it. So I got rid of the boat and
worked as a crewman on a beam trawler for what turned out to be a good
fishing season.
My dad was a fishermen and his family had been fishermen for
many generations. I started helping out with my brother Alec with the landing
when I was five year old, going to sea when around the age of nine and so as a
natural progression I couldn’t wait to leave school and become a proper
fisherman.
