Ling, Cod and Wrasse at Scarborough 03/11/2015
I went over to Scarborough North Bay today
Billy No Mates this trip
I fished the night before off the Spa (land) 3 small whiting
I had planed to go out to The North East Corner and drift to Scalby Ness
I set off the second crab pot where I always start
fish on the first drift I missed the first bite lost a nice fish on the second bite then cod on a shad and wrasse on frozen black lug
all with in a few minutes next was my first ever Ling
I was only fishing for about 60 minutes and I managed 3 cod 2 Wrasse and a Ling
I did not get to NE Corner as the wind kept picking up
I had to come back in because I got cramp and indigestion
still a good 60 mins of fun
A stop in Scarborough...
Rainy Scarborough... So after Dalby Forest we stopped in Scarborough for a walk about with the hope of getting some fish and chips. It was very wet. And windy. But then the sun came out.
Preventing seabird bycatch near Bempton Cliffs
Working with Fishers to Prevent Seabird Bycatch, Filey Bay & Bempton Cliffs, North Yorkshire.
In the summer months, Filey Bay is home to thousands of breeding seabirds, a wildlife spectacle enjoyed by many visitors. It is also the location of a sea trout and salmon gillnet fishery. Interactions which occur between the seabirds and fishing gear can result in bycatch as seabirds accidentally become tangled in the nets and drown, if they are not released quickly.
RSPB have been working with the Filey netsmen, the Environment Agency and Natural England to mitigate the bycatch problem.
Hear from Rory Crawford and Rex Harrison about the successes of this collaborative project, developing long-term sustainable solutions to the bycatch problem at Bempton Cliffs, that can be applied worldwide.

Atlantic
'Atlantic' follows the fortunes of three fishing communities united and divided by the Atlantic Ocean, as they struggle to maintain their way of life despite mounting challenges within their own industry and environment. On both sides of the Atlantic, new hydrocarbon frontiers are pushing out into deeper water, and further north into the Arctic, posing serious threats from the oil and gas explorers.
The film charts the politics of resource management of the North Atlantic, from strong state control in Norway, mixed fortunes in Newfoundland, to a more liberal, privatised system in Ireland. 'Atlantic', through the experience of these coastal neighbours poses the question: who benefits from the exploitation of these resources. Filming at close quarters with those at the epicenter of the resources issue, and in some of the most dramatic and harsh settings in the North Atlantic, we will bring their story to a worldwide audience.
'Atlantic' is a transatlantic co-production with Newfoundland, Norway and Ireland, and a follow-up to our 2010 documentary 'The Pipe'; the story of one Irish fishing villages' battle with the oil giant Shell. When director Risteard Ó Domhnaill began investigating the forces at play behind the driving of a gas pipeline through the isolated West of Ireland community of Rossport, he discovered that other small communities right across the North Atlantic were facing similar challenges and feeling similarly powerless.
As oil exploration companies move into position off our coasts, and huge 'factory' trawlers force small fishermen off their fishing grounds, we question the silence and inaction of the Irish governments. What control is the state taking in this concerted drive to capitalise on Ireland's offshore oil and gas potential, and why is it so different from other parts of the North Atlantic. From the perspective of fishermen in resource rich Norway and Newfoundland we experience their interactions with government and the oil companies. Not all is as good as it seems from afar, though, and the small fishing communities in Lofoten(Norway) and Fermeuse (NFL) are feeling the strain from the growing reach of the oil industry.
Despite problems, as other Atlantic provinces grow rich from strict State ownership of their resources, Ireland is increasingly at the mercy of outside influences who already control most of her oil and fishing wealth. The battle over what lies beneath the Atlantic Ocean is heating up. Yet it is happening out of public sight and out of public mind.
We want to empower local communities and individuals so that they can better contribute to this vital debate. We will soon be launching our new interactive website, 'The Atlantic Stream'. This is a research and live stream broadcast platform through which people can support 'Atlantic', and engage in live and uncensored discussions between people on all sides of the Atlantic.
