Tony Heinemann
I’ve been involved from the age of 9 in the fishing industry here in Plymouth, working on my uncles trawlers/scalloper at the weekend by helping land and sort their catch then progressing going to sea at weekends and school holidays. Going on to skipper one of the boats at times.
At age 22 went into the royal navy for which I spent 22yrs, but i still had involvement in the industry. Upon leaving the Navy I went back to fishing but pursued the sustainable fishing methods buying my first purpose built vessel for rod and line commercial fishing targeting mainly bass and pollack, I've been doing this now for the past 11yrs and despite demanding conditions at times I wouldn't want to do anything else.
Joe Lynch
I’m Joe I’m 22 years old I’ve now been commercial fishing for 7 years and running my own boat for 5 I work a 25 foot monohull called ‘KRAKEN’ using rod and line and longlines bass is the mainstay of my catch from April until January I pride myself on the quality of my fish with each fish being bled then straight into slush I’ve then cleaned and onto ice not long after to maintain the fish quality I work from Portland Plymouth and Brixham throughout the year.
Steve Walker
Steve operates the Kindred Spirit, fishing with a twin rig light weight stern trawl fitted with 100mm mesh and square panel for increased selectivity and sustainability.
