Moon’s Men

Synopsis

Portrays the daily work of the fishermen of Morecambe Bay, including their very distinctive methods of fishing which were adapted to the long flats and shallows of their piece of coast. Some of the most memorable scenes show trawling from a horse and cart. Such methods of fishing have now vanished.
