"Pilchard fishing from Polperro continued until the 1960s. For several generations, right up until the early part of the last century, large seine nets owned by the fishermen were used to catch pilchards when they arrived off the coast of Cornwall.
Today, only a few pilchards are caught by the fishermen for baiting their long-lines. More than two dozen local men are currently engaged in commercial fishing at sea from Polperro, where a fleet of six trawlers, six netting boats and two crabbers is based." Text Source: (visit link)
