A fisherman out on his first trip of the season, after completing his training, was rushed to Withybush Hospital yesterday (Thursday).
The 23-year-old trawler man, from Kirkcudbright in Scotland, was working on the Jaqueline Anne, putting down pots out of Fishguard.
As he threw his first line of pots overboard he caught his fingers in the trawler's winch.
Fishguard lifeboat was tasked to the emergency and met the the Jaqueline Anne as she came back into the harbour.
The casualty was put on board the lifeboat and crew administered first aid before he was transferred to an awaiting ambulance and taken to Withybush Hospital.
