James has fished from Penberth
for six years, his father Michael for over 50. Today they are hauling strings
of lobster pots they set to fish a few days ago. Got about 120 to pull today. Hopefully do the lot. Oh, spiders. Spiders. All spiders. We're looking for lobsters. Spiders are everywhere now. Scaring the lobsters away. Just four fishermen work out of
Penberth. At 29, James is the youngest, 30 years younger than anyone else. I don't really know how long
the cove will last as a fishing cove, cos there doesn't seem
to be that many people coming into fishing that are that young
any more. I'm probably one
of the youngest around

James has fished from Penberth for six years,
00:00:04.004 --> 00:00:07.024
his father Michael for over 50.
00:00:07.024 --> 00:00:09.006
Today they are hauling strings of lobster pots
00:00:09.006 --> 00:00:11.044
they set to fish a few days ago.
00:00:13.028 --> 00:00:15.064
Got about 120 to pull today.
00:00:16.076 --> 00:00:18.048
Hopefully do the lot.
00:00:20.048 --> 00:00:22.000
Oh, spiders.
00:00:24.048 --> 00:00:27.999
Spiders. All spiders.
00:00:27.999 --> 00:00:28.072
We're looking for lobsters.
00:00:31.012 --> 00:00:32.088
Spiders are everywhere now.
00:00:35.032 --> 00:00:37.052
Scaring the lobsters away.
00:00:37.052 --> 00:00:40.006
Just four fishermen work out of Penberth.
00:00:40.006 --> 00:00:42.008
At 29, James is the youngest,
00:00:42.008 --> 00:00:45.998
30 years younger than anyone else.
00:00:47.998 --> 00:00:50.016
I don't really know how long the cove will last
00:00:50.016 --> 00:00:51.096
as a fishing cove,
00:00:51.096 --> 00:00:54.044
cos there doesn't seem to be that many people coming
00:00:54.044 --> 00:00:57.044
into fishing that are that young any more.
00:00:57.044 --> 00:00:59.084
I'm probably one of the youngest around.

Movie Summary

Documentary series exploring life for the people of the fishing village of Mevagissey on Cornwall's south coast, which has bucked the trend that has seen the fishing industry die out in other parts of the county.
