Southport has always had a history of fishing, including the catching of shrimps, which has been carried out in Southport and nearby districts for centuries. References for it can be found as far back as 1113 to fishing in the Parish of North Meols. The fish caught included sole, plaice, crab, herring, cockles and of course shrimp. By the 1800‘s there was a fleet of 13 trawl boats, mostly made locally and known as ’Nobby’s’. Horse-drawn carts or mechanical vehicles trawl nets behind boats, known as ‘shanking’. Another method, though less frequently used today, consists of pushing a net along the sea bed to catch the shrimps. This is known as ‘putting’. With the gradual filling of the channels on this part of the coast, boat ‘shanking’ had to cease and cart ‘shanking’ became the method employed. Today you are more likely to see the fishing carried out by means of an amphibious vehicle.
