    There is no more than 10 over 10m local boats that work out of Mallaig any more.It makes me boil when i hear the greens and tossers in power spouting shite bout overfishin and cod recovery.Ive been at sea over quarter of a century an never seen a haul of cod in my life.Baaa humbug.
    take it this one is getting chopped as well bob??

    boats owned by local fishermen in troon is around 12 with maybe 4 boats that local skippers work for other owners

    even when i started it used ot be at xmas time you could nearly walk across the dock with all the boats in

    There is going to be a tv cook  program next week telling you not to eat cod or haddock as all fish stocks are overfished thats what we are  up  against.
    remember 1 time 250 odd boatsd landed in mallaig and you could hardly walk doon any of the piers for boxes of fish waitin to be sold
    And Jammy before the market moved from Ayr to Troon there were 47+ local boats in Ayr
    then the amigo's fae Troon on top o tht 7 or 8 i think always oot o Troon so when was the move aboot 96 was it
    tuesday the 11th jan that programme about fish is goin to be on at 9pm.
    im sure jamie oliver is goin to try an convince the public no to eat cod etc, because of overfishin and eat somethin from half-way roond the world that ye wouldny feed yer cat on never mind yersel....
    it will be boak inducin tae watch nae doot...
