[@martinbryan137]

Would love CBC to come back for a visit to showcase then & now. I live in Toronto, but I consider Burnt Islands my home

In about late 90's early 00's someone showed up in Gloucester ma with those same small boats and the same dream and after a trial just like there only shorter, same result no one wanted em.

I like that Newfies remain as ingenious and plain hearted as they were back then.

They should of come to New Zealand for ideas on how to longline properly. We have it pretty much perfected it now and were decades ahead of new foundland in the 90s

Honestly it's not bad, I love visiting there :)

[@martinbryan137]

I visit every year (... pre COVID) - but I'd love for CBC to come out with an update re: the fisheries. My whole family lives there, and some of my cousins/uncles were features in this. I recommend a visit or a pass-through - I'm so glad my childhood was spent here. Nothing like it. Burnoners are the best!
