Maritime historian Mike Smylie takes the reader on a wonderfully
comprehensive journey through the history of fishing in and around
Morecambe Bay in this first book to be devoted to fishing in the
locale. It spans a wide area covering places such as Barrow,
Ulverston, Grange-over-Sands, Morecambe, Glasson and Fleetwood.
Focusing on an area that was brought to national attention after
the tragic deaths of twenty-one cockle pickers there in 2004, it
covers a wide variety of topics - from salmon and shrimps to
Lancashire nobbies and fishing on horseback - ensuring there is
something of interest to everyone. Featuring over 170 photographs,
many of which have been locally sourced, this book is packed full
of interesting facts, such as the use of horses to drag trawl-nets
through shallow waters - a practice unique to the British coast.
Recounting the history of the fisheries by boat, horse and hand,
Fishing around Morecambe Bay is sure to appeal to both fishing
industry enthusiasts and those with an interest in the history of
the local area.
