This video was shot in July 2009. The skipper is Stuart Moss, with George Pinney crewing. Their primary seasonal objective is drift trammel netting - allowing the unanchored trammel nets to drift down the shingle and sand banks of the North Sea off the East Anglian coast for a couple of hours. Before starting this, they also retrieved a string of lobster pots.
The video starts in one of the most tranquil mooring sites so far visited, on the Butley River, adjacent to Havergate Island RSPB nature reserve, Spoonbills fly around on the bank opposite the mooring. The first 8 minutes 30 actually deal with the delicate navigation out of the Butley, into the Ore, separated by a narrow shingle ridge from the sea, and finally across the shingle bar at Shingle Street. Jolene is one of the more powerful boats in the UK under 10 metre fleet, allowing it to exploit areas further offshore than most other day boats.
At 8:50 we see the hauling of a fleet of lobster pots, mainly for the Butley Orford Oysterage restaurant at Orford, owned by the Pinneys. At 9:40 the lobsters are being checked for minimum legal size and their claws are then secured by George Pinney with rubber bands.
At 10.50 the main business of the day, the sole trammel nets are being prepared. The deployment is covered with stills photographs, and completed by 6.30 am. In this video we pick the story up with nets being recovered, with fish already being brought onboard by 8.00 am and 10 min. 20 seconds into this video. At 11:00 the catch is coming onboard, mainly immature 'slipper' dover sole, but also thornback rays, and one box of cod.
The slipper sole were checked against minimum landing size (shown in still photographs) and relatively few were below minimum size. However, the London restaurants involved in Pisces had a preference for larger Dover sole already being sourced, including from the Helford in Cornwall and Eastbourne, Sussex.
The video concludes with Jolene again passing along the coast and already within the Ore Bar at Shingle Street, with George Pinney completing the gutting of slipper sole.
Stills photos are available, but have not yet been put up on the Pisces-RFR website. However the very interesting winter long-line fishery for cod and thornback rays is featured, at www.pisces-rfr.org/UK/Fisherie... and www.pisces-rfr.org/UK/Fisherie...
