Sadly there are not many boats going to sea from Hastings anymore. I used to work on the boats, but had to give it up as I couldnt earn enough to live. I think there are less than 10 working boats down there now. Such a shame.

@@petersinger1460 Sorry to hear that - the UK fishermen have been let down by all our governments that have or are in power. I stopped fishing over 40 years ago, came back 3 years ago and was shocked of amount of blanks I was having. I now fish only from a 'lure only' boat from Brighton in a chance of a good days fishing - the skipper has Bass size limts for the table of no smaller that 48cm and upper limit of 59cm, obviously abiding with the 2 per person limit, per day. Of course we catch other species, but many returned because their freezers are full so they fish to top-up their freezers and sport. Cod are like unicorns, but do catch the odd one or two. Our fishing fleets will never be the same again and this is upsetting to see, I think there will come a time when it ceases to become viable for many more fisherman to go to sea. Our government will licence more boats from other countries to fish our waters and obliterate our demising stocks. I have fond memories of buying straight from the boats at Hastings.
