Description
A colourful winch on the quayside in the quaint fishing village of Polperro on the south
Fishing has been the principal occupation in Polperro for generations.
From time immemorial, pilchards have moved in quantity to feed off the Cornish coast and were caught in abundance by Polperro fishermen.
Pilchard fishing from Polperro continued until the 1960s. Right up until the early part of the last century, large seine nets owned by the fishermen were used to catch pilchards when they arrived off the coast of Cornwall.
Now only a few pilchards are caught by the fishermen for baiting their long-lines. More than two dozen local men are currently engaged in commercial fishing at sea from Polperro, where a fleet of six trawlers, six netting boats and two crabbers is based.
