Mackerel men make hay.


Fishing close inshore, the mackerel fleet in action.....
a welcome sight, the fleet of punts are out in force fishing, or 'wiffing' as it is known locally, for mackerel between Penlee Point and Mousehole Island.....
one junior net makers kit including mugs, time for some new gear aboard the pair team
it's even-stevens at seven all in April..........
two of the most enduring workboats in the harbour side-by-side........
she's not going to win any prizes in the beauty pageant with a front end like that.....

she is currently being rigged out as a multi-purpose inshore boat......

girls stretch their legs aboard the gig Averack for a practice.
