Just been watching deadlist catch, a programe that follows trawlers for crabs etc into the Baering Sea, into temps of -25 Deg C  I know we blame them for the massive reductions in fish numbers, but OMG they do go through hell to earn a wage  |

Amen to that Viffer - Nothing against commercial fishermen per se, just as long as it's done in a sustainable way.

What an awesome prog that is, me and squidhead like nothing more than a few beers watching `dangerous catch `;D We have both been on `channel` crab boats in the past and can respect what those guys go through. What we went through was not a lot different, except for the coldness they endure  The hours and rough weather i n longer miss! ;D |
