Alan Charlton asks why is charter fishing in decline. A question to all Charter boat skippers including those from Whitby

To all you whitby charter skippers or in fact any charter skipper that looks in here. I am collecting information for an artcle that could be published in Total Sea Fishing. Over the years there has been a decline in the chartering industry and there are many reasons why. I would appreciate if you could put down and send me why you think it has declined and what other uses you have put your boat too (legal) to make a living, i.e divers, bird watchers or in the case of some looking for other species. Would appreciate if you could send info directly to me at

you should have the time with the sea the way it is.
