    Report on-board Girl Mandy

    Here we go on putting to sea sat 5th Nov another charter boat called me up to complain about a big red beam trawler going up and down where he was fishing also where we were heading due to to bad weather, i already know of this clown he was shrimp fishing but at the same time killing lots of skate on trying to call the said vessel there was a radio silence on going through several other channels of which he should have been monitoring he still didnt answer not only was he working up where we were sheltering due to severe weather but failing to show what he was doing. We all have to work together in this river but it seams he could not give a toss the boats name is Seiont A run by the Barns family after failing to speak to me via the vhf we asked Vts London were they aware of the trawler they said no i then informed them of his details and also not transmitting a Ais signal i thought that was the point of monitoring our fish stocks not if they dont turn their systems on. Further to this instance i was informed i had been slagged off on farce book or some other such waste of space site where idiots put up remarks if you wish to slag me off do it over the radio or phone i dont hide myself behind stupid sites where people can slander other people off,and one remark made by his son was that i reported him to fisheries this is not the case it was port control who want to be aware of all traffic in the Thames if said vessel persists in slagging me off then i will take matters further
