A new dvd on the fishing industry is to be launched at the Scottish Skipper Expo in Aberdeen, June 24-25 2011.
Craig Taylor from Orkney has just finished work on the latest edition of the ‘At the Fishing’ dvd series.
Volume 12 is a compilation filmed onboard a variety of different types of fishing boats. It features deep sea whitefish trawling, pelagic trawling, seine-net fishing and was also recorded on three different types of inshore creel boats fishing for lobster and crab.
Included in this dvd is footage recorded onboard fishing vessels from various ports in Orkney and Shetland as well as vessels from North East Scotland and Ireland. Many of the recordings are filmed at sea by fishermen themselves.
As well as heading to and from the fishing grounds there is also footage of hauling and shooting the fishing gear, sorting the catch, landing etc.
