Inshore Fishing

So you have decided to go Inshore Fishing. You're setting sail from Morecambe, a long-standing port for boats trawling for shrimps, flukes (flounder) and other fish. The bay is a rich fishing ground providing work for scores of boats and families from many local towns and villages. You will be sailing on a Morecambe Bay prawner also known as a Lancashire nobby.
