to read Your Local Paper & Lynn News e-editions Share a day in the life of an Axmouth line fisherman who combines charter and commercial fishing Axmouth-based John Wallington (left) with one of his angling customers and a 10lb 3oz line-caught bass John’s innovative business model combines charter angling with commercial fishing “This is my sole occupation – I couldn’t survive without both sides of the business.” all my life had been in the foodservice industry – I’m trained to look after people,” Axmouth-based fisherman John Wallington told Fishing News “That’s where this model doesn’t suit some fishermen – they’re not used to dealing with the general public Many of them tell me they couldn’t do it.” it was childhood holidays to Cornwall that inspired both John’s early and current careers “I used to holiday down on the Fowey from the age of six That’s also the reason I became a chef – because I had been fishing from such a young age and spent 25 years in the foodservice industry.” One of his diners proved pivotal in his transition from restauranteur to commercial fisherman “One of my customers invited me out – and I thought So I got my own boat – a little Isle of Wight Plastic 15 John started working towards making a living from the sea John operates an innovative business model “The MCA was bringing in legislation regarding crews having to be qualified getting crew is nearly impossible – we haven’t got a big pool of people like Brixham “I thought it was an easier way to get all my tickets up to Yacht Master Commercial endorsement for taking out paying passengers – so that’s what I did My customers get the best of each species they land At this time of the year John fishes out of Axmouth From November through to the end of January the start of John’s day very much depends on the tide I only operate in daylight hours due to the river mouth My first job is to pick up the fuel and ice and drop that on the boat I then go and meet the customers who are coming out with me I nominate a designated radio operator – whether they want to do it or not – just in case anything happens to me I’ll explain about when to put down their gear how to stow the gear – and what the most dangerous thing on the boat is: the lead weights I have pots on the rail where they put their weights I don’t let them land a fish unless they’ve got hold of the weight then that’s me out – and then it’s a Mayday call.” John’s next task is to navigate Axmouth’s notorious river mouth It’s one of the most dangerous commercial ports in the country and you’re even more glad when you’ve got back in again.” John leading a safety talk onboard his 7.6m Cougar cat Outcast III “The boat does anywhere between 16 and 18 knots and probably on an average day I’ll use four tubs of fuel She only does three litres to the mile – but if I’ve got two customers on John heads to nearby grounds if targeting black bream or to wrecks further afield for bass and pollack “It’s usually between seven to 10 miles to the first wreck then I’ll do anything up to six wrecks in a day trips are eight hours plus – as I can’t get back in because of the tides A nice day for me is if we’ve got five customers onboard They take a fish each – and if I’ve got 20kg of bass left with thoughts focused once more on navigating the entrance to Axmouth harbour “I always check my fuel just off the river mouth before we come in It’s then a case of action stations – and we hang on My own fish goes into the ice house at the river It’s sold locally to Lyme Bay Seafood Company – with any excess going down to the market at Brixham We have a van that picks it up three times a week.” With his customers off celebrating their catch in the local pub “It’s normally a 10-hour day by the time I’ve filled out the CatchApp made a cup of tea and checked the weather for the next day “How tired I am depends on how many days I’ve worked before – I’ll try not to fall asleep in my dinner!” Sign up
