Cornwall's tweeting trawlerman has now appeared in an in-depth video talking about life aboard a fishing boat.
David Warwick, whose home port is Mevagissey, took to the social networking site Twitter this month to offer an online glimpse of his life and help dispel industry's negative reputation.
The initiative, dubbed "Tweets from the Deep" and organised by the National Federation of Fishermans Organisations (NFFO), took place to mark National Fishing Month, which ended yesterday and also to raise awareness of the work fishermen are doing to be more environmentally friendly.
"The response was outstanding with questions coming on all the big issues from discards to marine protected areas," Mr Warwick said.
"There were also more lighthearted topics such as what superstitions we have on board the boat and the most unusual things we've found in our nets."
