It's prompted pleas for people to clean up after themselves when out fishing. The boy's grandmother, Christina Shepherd, said the hooks, which were on the same line, had been left on the ground near the wharf off Tregenna St. The family had only been there for a matter of minutes when the boy was hurt.
