Peadar O’Neill discusses herring fishing in this second recording and explains that the herring disappeared from Sligo due to over fishing. He relates some superstitions surrounding fishermen, such as not whistling on a boat and he shares many stories about sailing in the sea years ago and the old ways of navigation. He talks about the breeding habits of the fish and how this was exploited in fishing. Also talked about was the salmon fishing, and Peadar says every pound made from fishing was well-earned.
