Sadly, this is no longer the case.
"Today, there is not a single dinghy or sea angling charter boat based at Largs. This is replicated throughout the Clyde Sea area.β - John Crowther, sea angler, Gourock #CoastalTestimonies

Nostalgic hiring boats photo from Largs seafront is web hit
A nostalgic photo of the hiring boats on Largs seafront from over 45 years ago has brought back a flood of memories from readers.
In the past, sea angling in the Clyde thrived, which attracted sea anglers from all over and brought considerable financial gain to the local community. "In 1970 there was about 20 boats advertising 4 and 6 hour fishing trips and they filled them." www.largsandmillportnews.com/news/2492974...

The current consultation for the National Marine Plan 2 needs to be comprehensive and the Scottish Government should not key sectors like fisheries.
