Gary, from the port's latest new addition to the fleet, Achieve, lands several boxes of red gurnards - despite the recent interest in these by the restaurant trade, these fish will move down the quay and go straight aboard a crabber to be used as bait...
so it's out of one box and into a bongo before being passed back down to the deck of the waiting crabber the William Harvey....
it might be the end of the trip but as ever in the world of trawling there's a job to be done when the boat gets back to her pontoon berth...
netted fish from the Lamorna comes ashore in boxes.....
most recent addition to the Ocean Fish fleet is a high-tech mackerel boat from Buccaneer Boats
down on the pontoon, captain Leach makes a start on the night's mending job on one of the two damaged trawls - not a good day!.....
father and son team will work well into the dark, especially as the mesh is only 80mm, bit like the old days on the prawns!.....
mind you, there's always time for a quick yarn with fellow inshore skipper Edwin off the Cathryn....
seen here with the day's catch on deck ready to go ashore.....
under the watchful eyes of his grandson who is looking forward to a Friday night fish supper courtesy of Grandad Ed!
looks like 'Tom' will end up being well protected with the new mini coastal defence scheme over on Newlyn Green.
