โ€˜Onshore mackerel netting, maybe? The oil skin approns suggest they are about to gut them for smoking. "Fish wives". Note the men are just standing around ๐Ÿ˜‚โ€™โฃ
โฃ
โ€˜The truth of the matter is that they had to be there helping to pull in the seine net in order to get a share of the money when the mullet were sold.โฃ

My father used to fish off Hallsands in the forties, fifties and sixties. โฃHe told of the times they used to set the nets guided by his uncle on the cliff above who could spot the shoal of fish.โฃ
โฃ
When the net was ready to pull in the men would shout "heave boat" and all the woman would run down to the beach to help pull the net in, in order to claim their share.โฃ
