| 3 |  | HARBOUR: Two Boys in punt- Hugh WILLIAMS and Billy ORCHARD 1930s
Two boys in a punt in Porthleven harbour. They are probably "chadding". "As youngsters we were allowed to borrow a fishermans punt for the evening, while they were at sea, providing we put it back where we got it from. We would go out about 2 or 3 hundred off the harbour, drop a weight as an anchor, and fish until it got dark, for small Red Bream known locally as Chads. Sometimes you caught nothing and if you were lucky, you might get 20 or 30." | |
