Hi everyone.
I'm working on a project involving trawler fishing at the moment and I'm really keen to see how the process works first hand. Would anyone be willing to let me on board their boat so that I take some photos and maybe video some shooting, hauling, etc?
I'm based in Glasgow but I'm willing to travel wherever I need to in Scotland and at short notice.
If you can help me out I'd be really grateful.

Sorry, I should have said.
I'm working on my final year project at the moment and trying to design items to make the nets more selective and release juvenile fish without losing the larger fish in the catch.
It would be helpful for me to be able to see how things happen on a trawler so that I can design the product to fit the situation, and hopefully make it as user friendly as possible.
I've learned a fair bit from reading and watching videos but I think I would learn a lot more from seeing the trawl process first hand, and being able to talk to a crew about how it all works.
