Skipper catches ‘rare’ sturgeon in Devon waters
A rare species of fish has been caught in waters off Devon, according to a local fishing boat skipper. Sean Beck, skipper of the Brixham-based Julia of Ladram, said his vessel was fishing approximately 15 miles (24km) south east of Dartmouth on Saturday afternoon when his crew caught an “average sized” sturgeon. Mr Beck said he had been fishing for about 40 years and had only seen two sturgeons in that time. He said they released the 4ft (1.2m) long fish, adding that, if they had brought it ashore, he would have had to offer it to the monarch. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 14:37
