Why the stupid background musuc? I can't hear the beautiful voices.

I miss Looe so much! Like many I suppose I have very fond memories of childhood holidays spent their and in my case, spent at my late nan and grandads. Looe is such a special place and fishing so inextricably linked to the town, these gentlemen are a part of that link and heritage, but I imagine that these authentic voices are sadly no more and are of a bygone era by now. I was sad to learn the fish market has recently since closed down, it was such a big part of Looe's whole DNA and I assume that with that closure, the fishing fleet is smaller than what it was even since this video was published? It would be a huge pity for Looe for it to turn into just hotels/Air B&B's, but how to save an industry when the economy and social landscape around it has changed so drastically.

As close to poaching as you could get.

Before smart phones destroyed our cultures 😢😢😢😢😢 i love looe just returned today been down there 8 days

Hot knives ftw

To be honest, to understand this you gotta have spent some time in Cornwall

Fake as bolt ons lads

WHEN YOU SEE THE PHOTOS YOU SEE WHY WE HAVE NO SALMON OVER FISHING AND KILLING THEM ,,NOW ITS TO LATE MOST CATCH AND RELEASE .NOT ALL,,THOUSANDS OF MILES AND BANG THEIR DEAD NO YOUNG ,,NO FISH,,,

It was!

Such a pity there is no date when these were recorded.

Back when there were fish to be caught

I've never seen anything like this , Looking at that river I probably wouldn't even consider fishing it yet here ye are landing a nice fish from it !!

East

There's something very strange about this video, those two jokers and that salmon, very strange indeed!

Think we've all done crab fishing XXX

Brilliant stuff👍👍🐟🐟

It's kernawak there all full off shit! I no alot off them! Shit at fishing too!🏴‍☠️🤭👍

I just love the way they talk. As an American, there’s something so very familiar in the way they speak. They’re so much easier to understand for me than somebody from say, East London, Liverpool or Newcastle. And I’ve heard English people say that it’s hard to understand them. That’s not been my experience.

Does anybody remember the man hiring out motor boats? I think it was in the eighties?. I remember hiring one out and going out to looe island with friends and swimming off there, only to find out that a large short fin mako shark had been caught off there recently. I don't think that we would have swum there if we'd have known that !

love this....i have been coming to Looe on family holidays since 1965 and used to love seeing these boats sailing around as we stayed on thr Hannafore and had such good views out to St Georges island,i have such wonderful memories over the years.💕

“The neck, the neck the neck”

Good old day love see it again the pass is our way life today but we love it all da da we love old Cornwall way of life in the inn singing it way life working h and being happy

Would be best without music and maybe someone telling us a bit about the boat?

Looe Accent!...love from Penzance

Fucking hell this video is as gay as fook..

What a view the bridge builders had. Really good bit of film that. Seeing the old Rick being built, no bailing twine, and happiness in waving a bit of straw about and how the whole village mucked in to get everything done. Think we are better off today then?

Weird music for this video😄

My Mums Maiden name was Pengelly as with my Auntie Dorothy, Aunt was wad married to Peter Endene who used to have a fishing boat. We first went as kids from the Wirral to stay with my Aunt around 1968. Went back and fount D her house in 2011 and met an old couple who said her daughter still worked the bank in Looe. Happy happy times still look back at the photos Dad took when we were there all them years ago.

everyone is complaining about the music, sort it out bwy.

Fascinating. Thank you.

how come at 3.00 he is clambering downstream with no hat on yet at 3.28 his hat is back on?? 🤔

bgm :(

I was a six year old living in Salcombe back in 1955 and my dearest wish would be to return to those halcyon days which have been forever lost.

Great old film thanks.

Love this, reminds me of talking to my dad, lovely. Mums side were all Pengelly’s

WTF is with the music , it has totally spoilt a good video !!...You can't hear those lovely Cornish tones because of the crap music .Will these video posters never learn ! .

That first few seconds of this clip had me thinking it was a: Crazy Psychological thriller!....Hitchcock would have been proud 😂.

Dougie is the only face i recognise

Intrusive music detracts from the films purpose. A' cocaine' decision?

I don’t hate the music - gives the footage a dreamy, sunny ☀️ quality

SOUND COYING

Hi - I'd like to know the source of this footage, if you could let me know how to trace the owner I'd be very grateful? Many thanks.

stunning.

I CAN'T HEAR WHAT THEY ARE SAYING! CAN YOU NOT RE-PROCESS IT WITHOUT THAT MUSIC. I CAME ON HERE TO STUDY THE ACCENT AND ALL I CAN HEAR IS THAT MUSIC!

The Elephant Fayre was a very special festival. Many blessings to the man who shared his land with us.

Great film, dreadful music

I have no idea what I just watched.

Gorgeous Days. I Loved this gorgeous man, Oliver. I was lucky to have had times with them.

Superb testimony!!!

Person who put the music to this needs to be banned from the internet forever.
