EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1960s, capturing a group of resilient haaf-net fishermen at work in Solway Firth. As the first day of spring dawns, these brave men embark on their fishing expedition, fully aware of the challenges that lie ahead. With unwavering determination, they wade into waist-deep water for up to three hours, battling against the elements. The image showcases their impressive strength as they skillfully wield heavy cross beams attached to their nets. These hardy individuals possess an unparalleled resilience and dedication to their craft. The cold winds whip around them, but they remain undeterred by the harsh weather conditions. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of these fishermen. Their commitment to angling is evident as they stand united against nature's forces while casting their nets into the vast sea. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene from decades ago, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by these men who braved such challenging circumstances for their livelihoods. This image is a poignant reminder of an era when traditional fishing methods were still prevalent and serves as a tribute to those who dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to this demanding profession.
