It's that time of year, yes, we have no vacancy.......
bound in for the gaps, the beam trawler Nellie passes the Low Lee buoy.......
a rare moment, when the Mount is bathed in sunlight breaking through the cloud cover.......
patience is a virtue.......
who put the chic in Chicadee.......
major work abaord the St Georges..........
she's in landing and down by the head again.......
but this time with a record haul, maybe over twenty tons......
and the skipper's happy enough........
the boys from Meva can only look on in awe........
as they Cornish Sardines keep coming ashore.......
harbour master Andrew makes it a working day........
while others in the market are even faster.......
top quality line caught pollack from the Sea Spray........
one small, one big, and a whole box of medium bass from the Butts.......
most of the mackerel men have moved round to St Ives, but when you can do over 10 knots the Longships is just within reach and workable.........
a man who cares about his catch, he's gone to sea with an insulated tub and filled it with slush ice (flake ice and sea water mixed) to chill that catch to +2ยบ........
and a good run of mackerel, with prices around the £1.60 mark for medium fish this morning.
