Margaret of Ladram skipper Adam Cowan-Dickie – whose son Luke plays rugby for England and Exeter Chiefs – turned the boat around and went straight back to sea, without even waiting to see what his record catch had made. The record-breaking trip was his first after returning from watching Luke Cowan-Dickie play for England during the recent Rugby World Cup in Japan. Skipper Adam Cowan-Dickie said: “I’ve been managing my sole quota and my days at sea for the past 11 months, just so I could try and break this record. I found this little patch of good fishing just before the World Cup started, but I was unable to fish it because of bad weather. I obviously couldn’t miss the chance to watch my son playing in the World Cup, so I was keeping my fingers crossed while I was away watching Luke that no one else would find it. After being in Japan for so long, I ended up spending a small fortune, so I really needed to land this catch! “Many people don’t realise that this was a sustainable catch. I have my sole quota, which is based on what can be sustainably caught, given to me in January every year. It is then down to me to manage my yearly quota how I want throughout the year. Because of 15 years of careful management, the sole population off Brixham has been increasing year on year. “This record wasn’t just broken by me. It was a team the massive financial investment put in from the vessel’s effort and the result of years of hard work, right from owners at Greendale, to all my crew and shore support staff, as well as the team at Brixham who sold the fish for us to be able to break the record.” The 33m beam trawler Margaret of Ladram has been the jewel of the Greendale fleet since the Exeter-based company bought her from Belgium in 2012. Her new owners carried out an extensive refit, including a new main engine and a complete machinery overhaul, and she has been skippered by Adam Cowan-Dickie since 2015. Barry Young, managing director of Brixham Trawler Agents, said: “It is fantastic news that Margaret of Ladram has broken our longstanding Brixham port record for fish landed, with a value of £126,000.
