When she decided to sign up for a fishing trip off the coast of Norfolk in 2012, Ashley Mullenger could never have imagined she would fall in love with being out at sea and fishing and that that growing passion would eventually lead to her leaving her office job in logistics management to become a full time fisherman.
Or that in 2022 she would become the first woman ever to win Under 10-metre (that’s a reference to the size of boat she fishes from) Fisherman of the Year.
Ashley describes what daily life is like fishing from the tidal harbour in Norfolk where she lives, the challenges of getting their catch to market and the complicated intricacies of the fishing industry and how they impact small fishing enterprises like hers.
