For over 10 years Francis Ward has been supplying whelk pots for
offshore whelk fishing. Based on a heavy duty container the pots
can be customised to suit individual fishing conditions.
The design has proven to be both robust and
requires little maintenance. Catches are reported to be superior
to conventional pots and this has led to the adoption of the
product worldwide.
“I have been involved in the fishing
industry for over 20 years and specifically the whelk fishing
industry for the past 10 years. I have first hand knowledge
of all the different types of pots that are, and have been,
available.
I tried several designs before locating the design I now make
and sell. I was amazed at how well they performed, especially
in bad weather or strong tidal areas where other designs had
failed to work at all”
