Extract

Although locally caught drift herrings may be landed at Plymouth from the end of September onwards until the beginning of March, the fishery only assumes economic importance during the months of December and January, when a large number of visiting drifters from both Cornwall and East Anglia are making daily fishing trips, using Plymouth as their temporary base.
