Former Dutch beamer turned super-scalloper lies in Macduff
If anyone thinks this is a sustainable way of fishing, then they need their heads looking at ... in Brussels, at DEFRA and aboard the vessels themselves
These are the vessels that need chopping up, NOT the Vigilants of this world
jesus christ!!!! a weapon of MASS destruction right enough 
Well said Jay,thats just criminal.
I totally agree Jay. As regards the Herring fishing, I was speaking to an elderly gent in Mallaig the other day, He was telling me a story about the day he was speaking to a Norwegian fisherman back in the early days of the purse. He commented on the lovely site it was to see a purser coming in fully loaded. The Norwegians reply was" we thought the same when we saw that at home but let me tell you that is the beginning of the end for the Herring on your coast.
I was told much the same thing in the mid 70s by some of the Kintyre guys
The ring net was in its way formidable, but the purse and pelagic pair trawls have been something else!

nagasaki, hiroshima, the blitz, the moon, krakatoa, 
plenty room fir that in enster, in fact gw why no pop doon some afternoon we can have a wee walk roond the pubs and a crack
a hiv ti warn the local plod that am comin oot ma cage fir the day
never mind the plods sounds more like a job for the riot squad the pubs would need a wee bit warning too to make some room to get you pair side by side at the bar ps the mr handsome competition will be a two horse race that day

it`s more or less what i was trying to say on the pic of the vigilant-it`s the like of this that in my mind would need to be the target for the decom schemes-as it`s a decrease in fishing effort that was the agenda of these schemes- not scrapping the most inneficent killers in the fleet. i mean ok it can be argued progress is progress,fair enough but at what cost for the future?-and i`m not talking about pressure on stocks-i`m talking about new blood for the industry. when i started to fish as a young lad your own boat was attainable-who would want to go to fish now with that reality fading fast?
